Is PvZ GW2 Dead on PC?

So, I was thinking about buying this game, but I'm not sure if it's dead because one of my friends said it was. So if you could help me by answering this, that would help out a lot, because I do not want to buy a game that's dead, thanks. 🙂

  • Game is not dead. A good amount of people play; it really depends at what time you play usually. Outside of TT and gnome bomb, if you are only looking for completely full servers, you can consistently find matches containing 5-7 players on both sides otherwise 4-9 p.m. there usually are full servers across all game modes.

    I find the best matches (NA East) around 5-9 central US time. There are times when you get bad, empty or mostly empty lobbies even then though. Usually I can leave, wait a few seconds, try again, and then get a better lobby, even on Sunday mornings when getting into the TT portal, or you get that 'Unable to find a match' and booted from the portal issue. Even at peak popularity the servers could do that at times. 

  • How many players do you think play this game a day? does not seem like a lot because as previously said the game lobbied are pretty dead most of the time. wanted your opinion??

    The experiences on PC are so varied it makes me wonder what is going on. Sunday, I again had to play a multiplayer match to get quests done and it popped quickly (less than 30 seconds) and put me in a full lobby for TT-I was on plants and it was Zomburbia, we got to the final point before the end minigame and lost there but it was a great time, I got my 'shoot down a pirate parrot' quest done, and got some vanquishes as a sunflower. This was fairly early, around 9 AM Sunday morning central US time.

    I've been in really empty lobbies as well, but it appears that what happens in those cases is that I'm in the overflow lobby as the match(es) are currently full. Only TT and possibly the portal events, are active in my experience but I've never had a big issue getting matches barring errors and getting kicked into that overflow lobby.

    And again, no cheaters in that match, although they are definitely out there. NA East as usual for server for me.

    @bat_hoovy69  It's not dead, at least not on NA east for Turf Takeover. I can always get games in TT mode in GW2 that are full are near full. It does have the hacker issue though and it's been a problem for a long time unfortunately. Other modes are barren so you need to play against bots for those modes. Ops can sometimes find folks too, although not as reliable as playing TT.
