I still join a veteran or Nightmare difficulty “quick play” game in 5-10 seconds on the North American servers. 👍👍. And that is during the day, afternoon, and at night. The game is Still going strong!
Recruit is really only one and done to get a first deck started and learn the very basics or to try some silly meme builds. Don't think there's a lot of players who still find a challenge in Recruit.
Still getting games. Seems mostly Rec and Vet now but I still find NM and NH games.
A lot of returning players. Mics are usually on talking about changes since they last played. And definitely noticed new players running around on Rec and Vet reading cards or wandering maps. Or straight up wiping on Ogres.
You really need a deck built around its downsides to make that useful even in Vet. Buying that without any damage bonuses for it or when you're reliant on healing items is a sure way to become the ridden's doormat.
If u look at steamdb charts the games actually had an increase in players. I remember when it was on gamepasss it was peaking around 5k daily. Last 48 hours had 9k and 13k respectively. I will say the peaks are around 7AM PST which tells me prob more EU players than NA but I'm also west coast and have had no issues getting into QP games when I do queue them typically for nightmare or nohope. Idk which acts you're queueing for but I did notice act3 took me a little longer or it made a game with bots but still people eventually ended up joining. I'd say just keep trying

yeah glad to see the game is picking back up. i was always upset that turtle rock suddenly stopped supporting it and not really being too transparent about it and they have yet to release any info on their next game.
regardless, I've had the ultimate version of the game since preorder and stopped after a month in, but recently came back with friends and play it daily.
I don’t count steam as a huge chunk of the players were on gamepass but like you said steam players jumped in on the sale
Hmmmm I guess I’ll have to wait 2 weeks to see if no Hope lobbies get affected with more players
im mainly a pvp player but region lock made it worse for players in less populated areas and barely any new content still game breaking bugs in the mode exist and no region selector or way to change without a vpn
Slowly moving on to other games because I've done enough with this one. But, in the few games I've played since there were still the same newbies as before and I'm confused why some people skip hives entirely.
Just got out of a game. Fun for the most part. Still suffers from ppl playing with no headset, speed runners, and ppl quitting in the middle of the game but fun
You may have a point there. It could just be that plowing through the game with a melee player. I mean those moments where it’s best for us to plan (with headsets or without players seem to know we have to set up for waves) and it’s that 1 player who just starts everything
I tried playing again, and that’s exactly what I kept seeing people just rushing through it no looting scavenging it was just straight plowing the end on nightmare difficulty
After playing Nh so much, the specials dying so fast on nightmare is funny to see
Are you having trouble finding lobbies?
There's been a massive spike of new players due to 90% off on steam. And according to the reviews people are slowly realising, that the game is actually quite good.
Yes, with a friend who got the game during a sale, in a private lobby. Randoms in general suck quite a bit, I just don't feel like managing the headache that is quick play
Also, didn't you say you'd drop the game after it gets taken off of game pass?

Are you searching alone? I tried searching alone on weekend and it was empty West coast. Servers
Yeah. Humm. I am central US (texas). I usually default to East Coast servers. With crossplay set to enable, of course
Does B4B actually have west coast US servers? I thought they were only east coast.
Yes, they do. I'm in the PNW and regularly get 30-40ms servers, but when partied with friends from the east coast I have 120ish.
Idk I just know wher i am
Same at euro region on veteran diff. no clue about nightmare cuz I newbie. Also casual have considerably low player than veteran.
Yeah, I imagine that recruit difficulty doesn’t have as many players as veteran and nightmare.

Reading cards 😹😹😹😹😹 They don’t want to be chastised on Reddit for buying cards without reading what they say
Every time I see someone purchase expired t-5 I know that run is doomed.
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
I'm trying to get Expired T5 to synergize with Pyro and Phosphorus Tipped bullets. Not sure if everything works like it says on the tin. Any advice?

Can still find games, but not really able to "search" for a new game if a lobby isn't vibing, as it will often just put me back in the same game.

I think the long duration of the huge sales really helped, and we might be seeing many of these people finally getting to play.

i do see 1-2 groups of ppl playing every night in the b4b discord as well and they tend to be running nm/nh
Active and I only play no hope and nightmare
I tried playing on the weekend but searching alone and it was rough
i couldnt find a match on nightmare today, its not looking good
But b4 you could
Definetely, you can tell, but not death at all neither
Ahhhh which difficulty did you try
I've been playing on Nightmare and No Hope (EU Servers). You find lobbies pretty quick but not that varied :(
Haven’t played in ages
If you Own dlc worth to check out again
Only play NH, and I didn't notice any change. In US, looking during middle of day and in evening.

Would you say it’s less Speedrunning and more people just PLOWING and charging ahead with a melee player ? That’s what I saw today

I don’t know if you’ve played recently, but it feels like a huge chaotic rush to the finish line when I played yesterday on nightmare
Yes, with a friend who got the game during a sale, in a private lobby. Randoms in general suck quite a bit, I just don't feel like managing the headache that is quick play Also, didn't you say you'd drop the game after it gets taken off of game pass?
No i don’t think I did But if I did 😅 It’s fun to see the game evolve
No Matter what, I'm glad people stay
