More players?? There are a lot of us in South America, the servers were always full and I played every weekend. Now nobody can play if there are no servers.

Cause there are no people to play on them
Besides didnt a comms server that was popular there shut down too?

Because some felt the official ran like ass and hopped to other regions or stopped playing entirely

Conq players when they’re just now realizing that most who play conq on 60 tick servers aren’t the ones fucking seeding servers to keep them alive
stable bear

Also correct, iirc they moved locations and had no interest in starting up the servers again. Don’t blame them given the current state of things

people want servers
people get servers
people dont use servers
nobody can play

The servers grow with people playing in it. If the server has nobody playing in it, they extinguish and turns to dust. This is a consequence from their own community activity
If you want more server, then get that server full for a couple of hours
And maybe more servers will open
spring abyss
While the immense lack of update doesnt help, it is also up to the community to organise itself and actually help
And there seems to be a lack of said organisation as opposed to Bobs for example

I mean, I don’t entirely fault the players who wanted to play something other than FL, but then again they were also the ones that failed to seed when push came to shove (and they also still dont seed to this day) so genuinely, why are they complaining that they don’t get the mode they want, to only then complain about people not wanting to play that mode in their region? Nonsensical.
This would be me arguing that conq players shouldn’t be allowed to play conq when their region has enough support for it. Sounds dumb, right? Because it is.
After the honeymoon phase of SA passed.. you can guess where said “frontline players” of SA went to (and ig domi too to a much smaller extent but mostly FL)
And it wasn’t their own region. It was EU and NA (I think more of them were on NA but I can’t exactly remember)
We can blame the devs for not releasing an update in a timely manner sure, and that I 100% agree, hold them accountable for this.
But also don’t be shocked when these players in your region want to play something other than conq loops, and decide to go to other providers/regions in hopes of achieving that. (Again, most of whom were also willing to seed the servers because of their desire to play with the modes and settings they enjoyed.)

I'm not complaining about the game modes, I'm just complaining that there are no servers available in my region. All the ones that are there are from regions too far from SA and I get kicked for some ping. I really love this game and when there were servers in my region there were a lot of players on the servers, that's why I still don't understand why they say there weren't enough players. Now I'm left without the possibility of playing a game that I like and for which I have paid. And I would like this statement to reach the developers and do something about it. I don't want a refund, I want to be able to play it again.

Servers are populated by players tho... This is really a unnecessary post
Once we get an update, some people will return to the game and we will have some extra servers when that happens. But you cant just have empty servers laying around, thats a waste of server resources imo.
It's confirmed that once a server is full, another one is created
If you understand that, i can't really see a reason for this post to exist

Look man, people dont stick around forever, and fact is that there aint many more willing to play BBR
I mean theres like 2k at most playing BBR worldwide
And fact it that as we speak there appears to not be many more that would in SA
No players leads to less servers
And look, only real solution as we speak is for you and other people in SA to organise yourselves and seed an official server
Simply asking for them to give a server wont do anything

To be clear, It is inteded for there to be a 127 consistently available, to which, there is at the moment. If that vanishes entirely, that is something the staff can address but that is no promise of it being populated.
spring abyss
Point proven, even with a 127v127 always available its still empty

what a pain here in SA
And it is not allowed to host my own server... WTF is going on with the gaming world?
Back in the late 90´s we could create servers for at least every mp game we wanted. today overall fun is locked....
jagged wedge
Cause there are no people to play on them
THIS IS WRONG!
There is a big commuinty but if the only server is at least filled 75% the latency goes down and people leave. When i want to join NOW the game and want to play, I only have this single server with a QUEUE to start and people leave because they don´t want to* wait that long for playing a multiplayer game.*
IF the latency is stable and the server fills up there will be created automaitcaly an secondary server which will then close after some time because there are not enough players.
A lot of people did open a new topic beacuse the SA servers and you just ignore them.
Sad story..... I am really sick of this ... Battlebit is running in my background for hours just for waiting that there are enough players in queue... wtf is sense of such kind of server concept. There are enough other bb servers arround in europe and us where you can only join and play with few players. The only server in SA is misconfigured and you don´t let you teach about this...
And also don´t get it why I can not host my own servers for other peoples in SA....

that´s also not true....
stable bear
I mean most of this would be solved if officials did daily resets and the tick rate wasn’t so ass compared to what you all had before (also not being forced to conq loops would help)
The first one being a major problem because of that bug revolving server uptime causing the performance to degrade the longer its up without a reset. Currently the staff/devs only reset them when they’ve essentially crashed/stop responding
There is a demand for SA, You are correct. However most have given up and play on other regions. Hopefully one day that will change, but realistically? Im not holding my breath, especially with no update happening in almost a year now.
minor lion
those are community servers...
actual people maintain those
official servers are automatically managed and configured
stable bear
I can’t vouch for other providers but we do daily resets on bobs, that’s why its rare to see performance absolutely tank like the officials
minor lion
that´s also not true....
do you understand that community servers are whatever? they can be closed or opened whenever the owner wants it
stable bear
official servers are automatically managed and configured
Not fully automatically managed, bbr staff often have to intervene for things like server crashes/when officials don’t generate

true, but they do close when empty
by themselves
no human interface
unless the devs decide to close the entire region
stable bear
Minimal human interaction sure but not fully automatic
minor lion
so players blaming the devs for one empty official server in their region is totally invalid
stable bear
When the official server’s quality continues to tank and they dont do daily resets for a known fatal bug, I think its very valid.

official servers activity relies 99.99% on player activity

I get this - but the devs should also be thinking about this game should survive with this hard politic of creating servers...
minor lion
creating empty servers doesnt solve a problem when nobody is playing
stable bear
So even if lets say they just reset, the server is still running constantly and will eventually tank in performance again after a day or two
minor lion
as far as i know the devs have been sharing development progress in general chats

If I could start a 8/8 16/16 32/32 server it would be full the most time....
I have enough players in my city which OWN the game but lost fun with it playing here...
minor lion
there should be somewhere to apply for community servers
stable bear
There was

shame
jagged wedge
and starting with small servers you can increase the players.... but well - I am out for today.

Its closed for now but it did exist at one point

could set the start counter to 2 to fix that
But devs are paranoid about xp farming/boosting, so make of that what you will
jagged wedge
they do xp boosting on the voxel servers....
stable bear
People have tried to xp farm on ours too (usually get caught and banned)
Point is that’s the reason they’ll use to not fix things like that
Same reason as to why repair got nerfed, barbed wire doesn’t cause damage, you get the idea
Their priority is (for some reason, one that I don’t agree with) to protect their xp system from misuse at all costs… instead of punishing bad actors individually
deep nymph
meanwhile there's still people on the xp leaderboard from the exploit over a year ago
jagged wedge
well, with some simple analystic tool they can find out who is tricking with the xp....
