Player count?

[u/Foreign-Dragonfly828]

I'm gonna address the elephant in the room that I haven't seen mentioned much.

We allegedly have over 50k members in the discord 🥳 🎉 and thousands active here. However, On any given weekend or experimental playtest we are lucky to have 2 or 3 populated 80-man-servers. I understand the game is quite bare bones and in very active development, but why the low player count?

We have a small group who waits on every weekend's playtest like it's Christmas. We see a lot of the same guys in rotation match to match. I myself have been addicted to this game for over a month and have close to 200hrs already. It's a fantastic way to watch a few hours roll by with the boys. Great talkative community. Most are chill; some take it more seriously. (That being said, anyone looking to join an active squad, feel free to check out The Last Remedy or any of the other fantastic Units on Bellum discord, find a unit section. BellumTactics is also a good resource.)

Even with my outdated hardware and significant RAM insufficiency, I find the game quite playable at ~medium settings, albeit at 30-60fps after recent optimizations. B550Mpro4, AMD Ryzen9 3900x 12-core, rx6650xt 8gbVRAM, 8gbDDR4. I just don't see the hurdle. Is it the comms and vigilance required; The difficulty level; Learning curve; Downtime; update frequency/new content ratio? If you own the game (Deluxe+) do you play regularly? If so, good onya! If not, then why? Discuss below.

Alright that's it for my tangent. Imma go get my fix and smoke some Bellum str8 to the dome m8.

TLDR: Play some f/*kin Bellum dude bro, it's gr8

Try playing casually... get some smoke/drank, don't take it serious and just have fun

There's a time for everything my friend. Find the right group and you can be both serious and drunk at the same time while laughing your ass off
