1.7 Update Play the damn experimental branch!!!

All you fucks need to play the experimental branch!!!! (Not you PlayStation y’all get a pass)

One server still not full and a bunch with only one person in each server. Unless y’all want another 6 months of this game being unplayable **OPEN EXPERIMENTAL**

That being said… devs if you’re reading this. For the love of god only put one server with 128slots on experimental so you can actually stress test instead of only allowing 64…. The majority of servers in game are 128 players… you’ll inevitably run into performance issues not testing the game at those levels. Just my opinion tho

Yeah, not many people playing Experimental, mostly just one server in EU that gets some players. I put about 5 hrs in, mostly as FIA to see what it was like but they are so limited in what they can do, it gets old quickly. Its more like a novelty than anything. You can do your ambushes, disruption, etc as a US or Soviet player and you can rank up 10X faster and get better gear to do it.

I do see that they have limited the FIA to 16 players max now. I'd probably limit it to 10p and instead give them the ability to build base defenses up, to make it a bit tougher to take bases. Make Monti their Rally Point, similar to Berlin for the Germans in the latter part of WWII, with the US and Russians closing in, it was their final Stronghold. Could be some fun 3 way faction fighting there. Once Monti fell then they would be a scattered force with Randomized Spawns and can wander around and do whatever disruption they want.
