it's in early access still and not that active of a playerbase, fun game though and we've been playing 7v7 pugs most nights, I see a few TF2 players in there

was keeping an eye on this cuz i played during the free beta that just ended but "not that active of a playerbase" is a understatement

the shit is basically DOA LMFAO
also i seen theres been talks of the company padding player count with bots or something, not sure how real that is though
game should've launched f2p and it's kinda monetized like that as well but hirez really loves killing their own company and franchises ig
For sure it has major issues (the servers are east coast and suck dick, for one thing). There are bots in the pubs but that's not inflating player count, 150 concurrent real people sounds about right. It's unfortunate because the gameplay is fun. As long as they have private lobbies available you can always pug or play honorball with your friends or whatever so it doesn't bother me that much that pubs are shit.
The comp discord ran a newbiemixes type thing a few weeks ago, I'll post here if they do another one

yeah, it looks fun and the movement seems to be really smooth but for 20€ its just not worth it considering the low player numbers and some of the horror stories that ive heard from the developer discord, seems like theyre hyper focused on "player retention" and the ceo emod out of it after release
Posted this in my steam review but it's the best fps released in the last decade and it's $20 (although imo it will likely be f2p within the year.)
Don't get put off by low player #'s - it's essentially like playing on the same community server & I've never waited more than a minute for a game. You'll quickly get to recognize who good players are by name & I think it's cool to get put into a game and take a look at the teams and go "oh they have soandso, they are going to put me on a cross."
Organized 7v7 games play very well too (there is a Comp Discord with a Pug Bot that works great), and people are pretty inviting to newbies if you explain that you've never really played the game before.

Don't read into the horror stories too much. There are a handful of jaded manchildren who do nothing but make alt accounts & shitpost on reddit about Erez (the CEO). The current lead dev (The Drizzle) is constantly engaging with the playerbase to gather feedback & improve the game (he actually plays the game too and is pretty good.)
If anyone has questions hmu, I love Tribes <3
