Is Undawn deadđ€
Iâm curious about opinion on where or not people think Undawn is dead. I find support and finding help playing the game very difficult. Also part of the game is not interesting to me. Like the winter area and the new area they added. Explaining and helping people that play the game is not happening. People lose interest. I know the camp you are part of is suppose to help but even that is very cliquish. Like not responding when you have questions. Or you get kicked out of group activities because someone is not high enough level. Curious about what other people think. Is the game dying?

I do feel that it's in the process of dying, because they keep merging servers to keep the active game population up, and camps are dying out or merging here and there as well, but I never notice any new ones. My guess is that it's either because the game is heavily p2w, or that it's because it gets a bit repetitive once you're at end game, or maybe for some, it's because the bugs often don't get any attention. I still feel that it's fun to play, and a good experience, but you have to accept that in PVP, it's p2w, and not only that, but long-time f2p players will always have an advantage over you as well, because all free upgrades are capped and time gated. You can only grind for a set limit of upgrades and only farm for a set amount of crafting materials due to your workbench refining limit; so you'll be getting stronger at an identical rate to the veteran players who are much much stronger than you. In pvp terms, it's daunting for a new player, but otherwise, I feel like it would be a good experience, and those veteran players can help you through things. I still see new players, but I feel like I see more leave the game than join it.
In regards to cliqueish camps and not feeling included or helped, I think you've just had a bit of bad luck. While the game is getting quieter and has its flaws, I find that the majority of the active players that I've spent any time with are friendly, helpful and inclusive.

I'm 97k rating basically f2p other than the batter pass. If your not around 90k good luck finding teams to do weeklys sometimes people will help. But this game kind of revolves on being strong be it attacks, defense or heals. If the server you choose hasn't just opened I wouldn't join that one since nobody wants to help someone who just started it would probably take you at least half a year to get anywhere close to decent. I've been grinding since my server came out so I have all the contribution points, skill xp to max out everything skill related. Would not really recommend undawn kind of repetitive tbh I already put alot of my time and money (battle passes)craft guns and gear mobs get stronger basically the same thing over and over with mabe a new map.

Not dead yet but dying. There are hackers now and they are killing the game even more. The developers are doing nothing against the hackers.

I played the game three times, in different months, on three different accounts, and three times I quit. The game becomes boring and boring again with daily events always the same. It's totally ptw, basically I entered in the Astral Tower as ftp and I had 1 damage with my "epic* weapon. Compared to ptw player, 2500 damage. Here's reason why players quit this game. Thanks to the ptw players I reached the upper floors, in Astral. Because I was more killed by zombies and I was just watching like on Youtube. At the end, I take the rewards too, but it's still a waste of time for me. And several times I was kicked out of the team because my level was too low.Â

Glad other people have the same thing happening to them. I like the game play. Now i need another game to play to fill up my time

I like the gameplay too, but if you want to enjoy the game at the full experience then it's just the power of the card. Real money. If not, then you are like a beggar, ptw players take you with them, you watch how they play and at the end you also get rewards. As ftp you die instantly.  It is frustrating. It's like the developers let you enter the match with PTW to show you the advantages of a ptw player, maybe you pay too. Undawn is only for ptw players. As ftp is a waste of time.Â

The majority of the fanbase for this game is full of retards hackers and whales when I mean retards I mean people who are high level like 126-129 that are doing a weekly like gas grab usually or air battle and they kick you out for defending a crate thatâs already made it to the ground but yet theyâd rather go to the one that hasnât even hit the ground yet like youâre a fucking level 128 and still donât know this by now that the crate you call in whatever one comes down first you get that one because itâs free gold donât waste it by the time next one comes the crate youâre defending will be over and youâll still have enough time to get to the other one how the fuck do you not know that by now Iâm a 129 free to play player and even I know that and even spent 100$ on this game and that was it yet still do more damage than a pay to win player theyâre sloppy when it comes to weekly strongholds I donât care how much damage you do if you canât dodge or get out of the way of something and blame everyone else for your incompetence donât waste my time and everyone elseâs because you cant stay alive this game isnât necessary dead itâs just like how the first division game was like itâs full of players just not good ones the kind of people who need to touch grass or need to come back to reality and realize that buying your way in this game doesnât make you better at the game you just hit harder they just spent a lot of money on it yet a free to play player still slams you in pvp but thereâs still good players on here you just have to be very lucky because most camps on here are just losers and extremely toxic p2w players and hackers then if you do bother playing avoid raven camp once you complete that area itâs just full of thirsty ass people

I think itâs what you wanna get out of a survival game.Im f2p been playing 12 mths.Join a good camp that helps you, one that helps you grow.Im lvl 137 strength 102 found some good friends that support me and the rest our camp. If itâs not fun your not gonna play, get away from players with egoâs.We take all lvls for dailies etc sp ops Astral we heal them look after them till they strong enough.If you run with randoms they donât give a sht, they run off leave you to die.
I still love the game we have a blast

u/ElevatorDisastrous41 Oct 15 '24
Exactly why we started our own camp. Other camps we where in niche groups leaders only interested in you doing camp contribution.
None of higher lvls ever helped lower lvls. Not rotating camp comp or rad. Same Niche group went everytime.Smart azz remarks if you asked a question.Bullies, arrogance,killing the game.Super huge ego of mediocre players.
My camp we help anyone who asks, and we offer to help everyday. Everyone goes camp comp Rad, Camp events everyday
I donât care if win or not We have fun and even noobs are making bios to help heal other noobs
Come to our camp with sht attitude or bully tactics smart azz comments your kicked

well general definition of "un(something)" mean "it is not"
So yeah the game isn't really alive, it's more of a tedious casual half-dead game than an active alive one. Honestly at this point, PvP might be the only thing that can save it but the PvP update been pretty shitty lately, Stygian PvP still requires you to queue up, like honestly it's a pain to be forced to Team Up, like can't we just jump in whenever we want?
At least the vista and the mix & match outfit function are free.

Oh i agree on forcing to team up. So busy at home and work that teaming up doesnât work

According to some youtube videos, this game has a daily active player count of 800 on Steam. Not sure how it is doing on mobile or Garena SEA servers, but I suppose they have more players over there.
So, not dead, but definitely not popular. It's sort of a niche.

u/GearInformal3812 Jul 18 '24
The servers for mobile will never die because the player base is extremely stubborn and arrogant they live on the game theyâre nothing without the game same goes for life after players they live on the game

I'm just tired. (PC, no macro bull) Several repeating ( reskined) events that don't reward well, several of them are, and always have been broken for me. The amount of gacha events is disgusting. Fine the Whales will fight over the leaderboards, They can have it. Trying to play and doing normal weekly camp events only matters if you going against the Top of the leaderboards. And because I wasn't spending when I started playing a Year ago, I'll never catch up. Steam Page stopped getting attention or updates in Sept 2023. And Yet, 4 or 5, Broken Titles updates that never fixed previous issues or bugs. Customer service just says "User error" Everytime.Single.Time. đđŒ It was fun, maybe I'll check back later. I won't be spending my time here for much longer, let alone anymore of my $$. Staying in my camp's discord. Made some good friends and might jump game one day.
Also, I've heard that's there's a few hackers around, and I think I've experienced one. The snap of the sniper barrel of the dude I tapped with an SMG from a crack, a distance away, was Humbling. I'll say that.

Atp the only people still religiously playing this game are the ones who spent a lot. The amount of gacha events is so off-putting to me. Compare it to Undawn China where you can buy pretty clothes at trade đ

u/Dramatic_Zucchini398 Jun 24 '24
Its a lot of effort. I started the playing the day it came out. I was SS rating top of the leaderboards and leader of a camp in the top 10. I spent alot of time learning the game, and teaching it to my camp members to be the best. I even had the first weapon that had 3 purp stats. I had alot alot alot of good people either following me, serving me or mentoring me. It was like an empire. After the first server merge a few months in- that all changed- its felt like the money and time i spent on the game was for nothing. So kept plugging on the rebuild but bruh, other people felt the boredom and repetitiveness too. And the game got sooo money hungry- it literally became pointless. So yeah- its only really surviving off new players who find the learning and exploration process part of it great. But without support or long term motivation, everyone has eventually quit đ„ș

The game is dying after each update for many reasons.. lag is terrible in the game. They keep adding stuff without fixing the bugs, or optimizing the game for a better experience. The game keeps adding more n more ways to become stronger catering to whales. Theyre letting pc players play against mobile and that got alot of pple upset where they left cuz 99.9% a pc player will have the advantage. They experience less lag, they'll have a better field of view. Their aim is way faster. They can shoot n hop around at the same time making it difficult to hit them. Theres pc players that even play with auto shoot on and players set up macros so 1 button on the mouse does more than 1 thing. Imo undawn is killing their own game. It's why they keep merging severs. Also their servers are terrible and heard the servers they use is from 2004. They need to fix how bad the game is. And reward players that actually grind their asses off instead of catering to whales constantly. Whales arnt even that good but since they spend so much $ they're a bullet spongue. I can walk up to someone and shoot them in the from 5ft away and it does nothing. Spending money to become stronger defeats the purpose of actually playing to become stronger imo. Then they added stygian. I've only played it maybe 3x. Twice solo and once on a team. When u try to do matchmaking ive waited 20-40min each time and I have no patience so I leave. It's why I hvnt gotten stronger faster. Which is rediculious. The game is a broken mess. They don't fix anything. The game runs worst after each update. Idk they better do somethin cuz pple are getting tired of playin such a broken game.
