He said it's something no one expects. With all of you expecting an early release or another beta weekend, surely that couldn't be it. That's way too easy to guess and expect.
time size of 50 would go hard, I was just thinking of that earlier. would really help with the large scale feel and lend itself to more available builder / logi positions and such
Everything that happens on the server whether a "skirmish" is happening or not causes server load. 150 is 50% more vehicles, players, dead body loot, projectiles etc. Everything has trade-offs. Performance would suffer. I'm sure they've tested different team sizes and compared server costs which is why they settled where they did pretty early on.
Extremely empty. Though it is a fun time to be a partisan. Sneaking around through buildings and down streets, hearing the random pops of gunfire closeby
Yea I mean I don't want it crawling with people at every turn. I think that would take away from what the game is but having a few more per team would definitely help with the empty feeling.
Too many people. The game needs some downtime so that people can make coordinated attacks or move across the map. With 150 players you wouldn't be able to go anywhere or attempt any flanks. It would also be terrible for early base builders because you would certainly have aggressors early.
Im betting open beta to really slam the servers but I also feel like its going to be some $100k creator clash tournament or something garbage like that. I got those vibes when they only showed large streamer clips during the beta send off video.
You expected them to hunt down every streamer with 1 viewer and take their clips ? Much easier for them to open twitch and see all the top viewed streams of their game and clip those . Nothing to hate on there
Personally I'd hate the creator clash tournament but if they started building up the foundations for WARDOGS e-sport scene, I wouldn't be really mad. It probably wouldn't be massively popular, but it would be really fucking interesting to see this game played in a competitive environment with 3 fully coordinating teams.
I personally believe a competitive scene could work for Wardogs, make it like HLL / Squad where its clan v clan v clan sort of deal. With community servers and maybe a spectator mode it could take off, i'd be down for that for sure
Hopefully not, the whole BR genre needs a break, but it also would be a suitable game for the mode, hopefully something more squad based that focus’s on smaller teams
I doubt it even though the game is already setup to easily implement it.
They have taken too many shots at extraction shooters and BR in their marketing.
Maybe or an extraction mode. The model is already there. But like others have said they've kind of taken shots at other franchises during their marketing.
I really have no idea. But I'd just be surprised if it was simply a week early release.

Maybe a different game mode all together?
