    While some aspects of the game work perfectly with the scarce number on line we have now in our servers, some are not working.
    So with the limit of 54 new DOW per year which was the most serious reason people left the game, because they were never going to get one, which destroyed the game when it had thousand of people, now that we are done to few hundred this limit is not a problem because now everyone has a realistic chance to get a DOW in his lifespan.
    But some other aspects are completely not working now. In arena wining the DOW is now realistic for all but unlocking items is a pipe dream. 3x3 was out of reach years ago and now the problem moved also in 2x2 practically the items can only be unlocked by illegal means.
    Because when you put arena ready and in 3 hours spam you get 4-5 matches depending on the hour you play then unlocking the items is not there.

    Solution
    Arena npc teams
    when you play arena and there is no opponent available you will enter in arena to face a team controlled by the computer. There can be different teams with various strength too match and offer a bit of challenge to all. A player will be able to win only 10 npc arena teams per day or this can do it cumulative with the actual arena games found. So if a person wins 3 arena matches and then he can not find any more matches then he can find and win 7 npc arena teams to make a total of 10 wins per day. That will allow the players to slowly but possible unlock the items of arena.
    This solution is very settle because it will be used only as a safe fail and that is if there are no people present to cover the void. If later on the game starts repopulating again then the npc arena teams will be more scarce and may even not be used at all.

    The company wants to make money, and they will do that if people can buy items. But if the items are unlocked then people will not be able to buy them no money for the company.
    And in a more serious note if i cannot unlock the arena gunpowder to use then there is no point to spent any money to the game to buy anything. Because not having arena gunpowder will put me in a great disadvantage over the rest players.

    Also the solution with npc arena teams will help players that play hours that the server is sleeping and pretty much empty to participate in the arena and get an opportunity to buy them. The company should not miss any opportunity the company can get o maximize the base of their customers.

    I think the npc arena team is needed in the game real bad what you think?

  2. That would require a program that can play the game and react to the human team. I don't think they have that capability in game development.

    However, if they wanted to do something about this without developing such an interactive program for the NPC team, JUST COMBINE THE SERVERS, BIGPOINT/YOUZU !! It is not rocket science.
     
  3. I agree with u guys, NPC teams would be sweet and the NPC's could also be implanted in open waters as a special opponent, who uses items just like real players. But I also think they dont got the budget, time and skill(?) to make such implantation making it almost impossible to be a realization. There's a big chance the AI would get outsmarted and exploited if done wrong. Anyway if the team tries NPC teams and fail, they have my support eventhough they failed. It would give the team more experience and then the knowlegde needed to do more advanced things with NPC's in general. So I find this idea good for both Players and the team.

    well the ai is already here
    the npc on the map search the map to find you and start shooting you when it finds you

    the only think you need is to give them more hitpoints and more firepower
    and here you are you hav your team

    no fantastic new code written just use what you already have
    the npc team will not be 1 it can be 5-6 different ones and depending your rating you will face the appropriate one, with each bigger team with more hitpoints and more firepower.

    and as i said to earlier the npc team will kick in to help you do 10 victories per day in the arena
    so that means if needed it will appear to help you unlock the items
    that means if i make my 10 victories for one day in 2x2 and i keep playing 2x2 i will not face any more npc teams for this days and i will be searching only for a human team. this is a help and a guarantee that people can unlock the items no extremely fast but with a logical pace

    also for people winning about a player will win the season i said that winning an npc team will not give you any points toward your ranking but loosing from an npc will cost you points in your ranking so you will go down in your ranking and thus start facing the weaker npc teams.
     
  5. If the only way you can do 2v2 and get gladiator, that should count too.

    They know how to combine servers and have apparently done this in another BP game. Maybe Youzu will do this real soon?

    BP/Youzu--do a test of the combined servers for anyone who will volunteer to test it. The best time to launch a new game, at least in America, is starting Mid November through Jan 1. Many students are on holiday and would be playing enough time then to get addicted like the rest of us are who are left :p

    Combine the servers for the Winter Event....One....BIG.....Server :)

    as i said in a previous i am all in for merging them
    but even with merge servers there will still be cases of arean full message
    which an arena npc team can kick in and help people to unlock the items

    in eu4 after midnight arena for 2x2 or 3x3 is dead
    maybe even earlier
    i imagine the same to be tru for other eu server
    so for the unlucky ones that play that time a merge will do nothing
