Okok. Sounds very interesting, lets play.

EU. mostly lag. How sad.

@Shadowpuppy said in To our Champions, Regarding Servers:

I agree, just go play something else. It's not like you've invested time and money on this game. Or used time on being part of the community by writing guides or making videos. It's not a job buddy.
And it is free to play, so if you bought all the battle passes and skins because you liked the game and want it to financial succeed, that's on you buddy. Just go play something else.

"paladins isn't the only game having issues since covid19, far from it, that had to happen"
What other games? Are you sure it is player count related? How do you know? Hires hasn't posted anything about it. They're talking about ping spikes in England and server backups. Nothing about player count and server load. Which is a strange problem to have when AWS and other hosting providers can scale your server needs dynamically, on the fly. Who has server capacity issues in 2020? Do you think they have servers in their basement and need to go out and buy a couple more?

But you are right. There has been an increase in players march and april. New players new revenues. But they're not staying. Last 30 days have seen a sharp decline.

"game in beta" You don't get to hide behind that label when you have monetised your game for over 3 years.
But ok. It's beta. How about some minimum of communication. Nope. They're not even acknowledging the problem.
If they did, it would make it easier to wait for a fix. But they don't. They talk about lag spikes and how they fixed it. Which I'm sure they did. But that wasn't the problem. The problem persists.

"then gtfo and go play OW or whatever" Yes. That is what people will do. Not because you told them to, but because the game is unplayable. Until the game has to few players to be financially viable for hires and it shuts down. Which means you want have a place to fanboy anymore. Do you want this? I don't.

So we're just going to pretend this isn't an issue Hires? Been months now.
Ridicules. CAN WE GET SOME COMMUNICATION ON THE ISSUE!!!

Another try today. Another disappointment. Game after game, a laggy mess. Unplayable.

@Shadowpuppy Well that makes the game playable.

@Shadowpuppy
Yes, that is what this thread is mostly about. Shoot as much as you want, 80% of the bullets gets lost in the server code.

Tried some games. Everyone of them except one a laggy mess.
Too bad.

Any updates? Sent you a ton of ids. The problem persists.
