It is indeed a shame. I really enjoy the game but am not able to reliably play so it feels a bit like wasted time.

Hopefully it will pick up eventually, but considering no one really knows it even exists, it's not likely to fix itself soon.

Oh well. Back to EVE for a couple weeks.

personally i think right now a better answer would be this.
1) after 5 minutes of waiting it allows games to start with less than 20 players. 12 minimum. This can even be incremented down minute by minute where say minute 5 to 6 it's looking for 18. Minute 6 to 7 its looking for 16 minute 7 to 8 its looking for 14 and minute 8 to 9 its looking for 12.
2) if it then can not find sufficient players the gap is extended by 1 level on each end. 5 becomes 4 and 10 becomes 11. this can also be extended to a last minute of number 1 from minute of 9 to 10.

the glaring truth from when i was streaming last night is that we had just about 17 or 18 people waiting for a game and it wouldn't start with those numbers. so step 1 fixes that. Step 2 is just kinda a buffer to help out when there are very VERY few players online and would help get people at lvl 5 into a game at times. Especially with all the people sitting on lvl 4. I'd love to play my Pali again but with it being lvl 5 its hard. This is accentuated by the fact i'm an NA player so when I typically get on at night the majority of the EU players have gone to sleep already.

I'm level 11. and in europe, the waiting has been tedious after 11pm, midnight and following hours in the last couple days.
maybe u guys should do a server list with the number of players in it. and info of the matches currently happening and available slots.

QFT

some maps are not fair for some classes, just saying

FREEDOM OF CHOICE!!

what is realy waste of time - to make suggestion to developers - they don't listen to players at all )
you have wait so long becouse there are too little players play now in this game, some things like this were in the beginning of obt on russian, but after year in this game i dont think that it will be many players )

good luck to all

What's worse is that i pay for premium account to get more of everythin' and it's kinda a waste cuz in that day of premium u play 8 matches like in total....i love the game..i have patience.

I hope that the game won't die in europe. it takes time to get a community.

Just add Quests for exp and gold and when dont have games for high lvls we can do Quests. Its better then nothing...

NOOOOOOOOOO Adding PvE to Panzar will completely break the dream of an ONLY PVP Battle arena ! I hope no PvE content will be added. Sadly I've heard that there will be but nothing is sure. This game is a pure pvp game why add PvE :/

PvE will be, but 7-8 months later, on ru server, if on EU would not be enough players to add PvE, they will wait with that.
