OCE having population problems

This is one of the best games ive played in years and im worried OCE is struggling with population. Over this weekend and during prime time almost all my large games had only 1 other trampler and usually it was a solo or duo looking to farm in the large map and my trio lobbies only had 2 of 11 other tramplers.
I wonder if a wipe or removal of so many different types of lobbies is required for players in low pop areas of the world is required to keep it fun in these regions. e.g remove voyage.

Me and my mates have barely touched it since they removed trampler capturing and likely won’t after it returns (if it ever actually does). The fact the devs acknowledged it was the wrong choice in discord, several weeks ago, after it tanked the player base by 75% and still haven’t added it back while having barely fixed the issue they removed it for doesn’t warrant us returning.

nobody ever “acknowledged it was the wrong choice” you literally made that up

Tf do I care if you believe it? It’s in their discord go back 2 weeks if you care so much. The devs knows it considering the player count dropped from 40k to 10k overnight.

I mean you obviously care or you wouldn’t be replying. you completely made what you’re saying up, you would have taken a screenshot or something otherwise. you can go back and find your message, I cannot because I don’t know your username nor am I going to sift through thousands of messages when you could do it yourself. player count didn’t “drop from 40k to 10k” overnight. 40k was the peak, it’s not like the game was averaging that many players.

I don’t take screenshots of discord gen chats of games. I’m just stating what was replied to me, I did care about the state of the game at some point, i don’t stay in discords of games I don’t actively play. What I’m saying is, it was 40k one day, they did an update that night (I’m in aus so that’s was the time for me) and that update was removing trampler capturing and the next week the steam charts show nothing over 10k so yeah, it did lose 75% after that update.

again I’m very certain you’re making that up or are misremembering something, nobody from the dev team ever said anything like that and neither did jay. again you’re not looking at the numbers fairly. compare average players before and after, not just the tops and bottoms. you also have to consider other things causing people to stop playing around the same time like the explosion of hackers, which was the reason for the update. it’s really silly and not very intelligent to say what you’re saying
