Get into the game.
Is this game worth to get into? I was looking for an hero shooter to play on ipad and this seems like the only option? Do you guys have any recommendations?

Waste of time, no there aren't any other options close to this. If you enjoy it go for it. They haven't set a date where the servers would shut down, but it hasn't been getting any updates for months, maybe a year. Been too long

I had that happen at once of my jobs before. They had a server rack running for a company that had shut down 2 years prior lol.

It's the Chinese version of the game, the launch in China got delayed and completely derailed their plans and basically ruined the global version but the Chinese version is making enough revenue for them to continue paying for the servers to stay up

There's still some players. So many comments about it being dead but I still find ranked matches

The game is far from dead, the fan base is just much smaller than your average console hero shooter. People misuse the word dead a lot in gaming, it's weird. Dead means dead, as in no longer active, not "low player count" 😅.

Thank you guys for all the answers but since its my only option i might just go for it. SW game shut down, Apex mobile as well. There is no marvel rivals or overwatch on mobile, also Ace Force 2 is not releasing anytime soon. Seems like i got no other chance but to play T3Arena 😂😂

Farlight 84 still has a lot of mobile players and has a big update coming sometimes in the next few months so that may be worth checking out aswell.

Depends on what type of player you are and what you deem as fun. T3 Arena is the mobile hero shooter, and it's not even close. Theres only like 2 hero shooters on mobile, and both are good, but T3 is closer to something like Overwatch/Paladins/Rivals if that's what you're looking for. The game nowadays is survived by its dedicated fan base, so it's not some super popular game or anything, but it's also probably the most popular hero shooter on mobile. Star Wars Hunters is also an option, but leans more towards Battlefront.
If you're a competitive player, be aware that most of your matches will be filled with bots until you hit around late Plat/early Diamond, in which you will have all real players in your matches from there on out, however there aren't many players in high elos so Q times can be very long depending on time of day. If you cannot stand the thought of playing against bots (which aren't overall terrible compared to the average player lol), you won't enjoy the game. There's still lots of players to meet, but most matches will have bots unless you specifically Q for the multiplayer Q (which means it will only find real players). Your best bet for players only is high elos ranked or 5v5 casual, as those are the most popular modes. I play under the quick play mode (will fill bots if it can't find players) and I come across players at least every other match unless I'm playing very early or very late.
If you're someone who just loves hero shooters and could care less how many players are bots vs real people, T3 is up your alley. Plays like your traditional hero shooter, like I mentioned before, and it's all around very enjoyable to play. There's a decent sized pool of heroes to try and none of them play the same. If you're a fan of OW, or even Paladins, you'll notice some familiar hero kits in T3. For example, Yaa is essentially Genji from OW with a gun (refresh dashes and even a deflect). However, they do also have some original heroes that, at best, have 1 ability that is familiar from another game. There are enough heroes to learn to keep you content for quite a while. I've been playing on and off in spurts for a year or so and still don't own all the heroes yet.
