I played on PS4 for the first several months until I could get a new computer (old one finally broke down on me), so when I made the switch to PC again I'm greeted by a very sparse and desolate PC community. One of my favorite modes was the Ops mode, and I always had full groups on PS4 but I haven't had one other player since playing it on PC. Was there some apocalypse on PC that I missed out on? If this game had the bots like Garden Warfare 2 had, I wouldn't be as worried, but this is just sad.

I usually play a lot of Ops as well, usually it's the only Mode I play in this game since I'm not really a fan of the PvP modes most the time. It's difficult for me to find lobbies in NA East / West, but when I do, it's usually with the same people I've played with before :P On the other hand, if I switch to EU, I can almost instantly find a Lobby, depending on the time of day.

EU server PC.... mostly I can get a game of Turf in the morning and generally for the rest of day with maybe some flat spots... and sometimes TV... don't know about mixed mode as after trying that a few times a good while ago it seemed very quiet... perhaps will check it out at various times and report back. BA is mostly evenings, with sometimes a small wait (not sure if I have played it enough times to make a proper judgement though) .It is very rarely I have to play Ops on my own, at least not for long. 🙂

Ah I see, thanks! Guess I am new in town!

I had a PvP quest I couldn't reroll yesterday so joined the TT queue and got a full match pretty quickly on NA East. I left after getting the challenge done and returned to Ops where I keep seeing new folks, those with ranks in the low hundreds and below so while I can't see the actual population numbers it leads me to believe that a lot of players are focusing on stuff like the free roam regions and possibly playing the challenges there. A lot of people are jumping into Ops and leaving after one match too so it seems like they are also getting challenges done.

@rulsis I am on PC (EU servers) and usually have absolutely no problem finding an Ops game... and it normally fills up quite quick if started with less than a full team, time of day is sometimes important. Good luck 🙂

I've found it to be a mixed bag (NA East PC). Last night for example I ran a few Ops and they ranged from 2 people to 4 as they left or joined the matches, but that was early-mid evening central US time so it tends to have more people on at that time.

Europe server is good to go from 9am-5pm ast and after that if it ain't the weekly mode or turf cross your fingers to see anyone on na east/na west. SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET team vanquish GAMES GOING AT AROUND 8PM-11PM.
This game is more dead then gw2 and gw1 is right now which is sad but you can thank horrible team balancing for that.

@rulsis Changing regions is probably your best bet if you can't find lobbies of a game, you could also do Ops, PvE or wait for people to join you in a lobby! 🙂
Sorry if that is not much help, but console seems to be busier, however there are players on this forum who do play on PC! They should be able to answer most of your queries! 😃
Cross-play would greatly benefit players on PC especially if it gets added in the future, currently there is no word regarding this though! 😞
NOTE: I play on Xbox One, and my region is Australia, if that provides any information to you from what I said! 👍

Ran Ops again from about 6 PM to close to 8 PM on PC NA East. Had a few people shuffle in and out but had 2-4 people at all times. Had someone leave right as we got an elite Torchwood which I find both annoying and silly. Elite Torchwood is pretty easy and someone joined in late when he was almost down anyway so no reason to bail!

I went back to garden warfare 2. No one on playing PC killed it for me. Too many issues playing. Shame but true. They rushed the release.
