Still going to stick with only playing the multiplayer when I have mates online. In the 4 hours with coldflame, public, no one joined. That is how dead oceanic community is. Saw johnny was on with his mate, so we got a group of 4 that way.
Noticed, the percentage of players who complete the events have dropped each week.
59% > 61% (steady) > 45% > 31% > This week ???
The Oceanic community might be dead, but the Brazilian one has never existed. From Day One I've been playing with North Americans and Europeans, 200-350ms ping, guaranteed black screen, infinite loading, can't play with most people on my FL due to connectivity issues, can't pug at all due to region lock, all that good stuff. Still, they haven't stopped me. Obviously there are occasions when I question myself why do I play this game, but I still play with anyway.
I've already played a few games on Asian hosts, and even though the lag there is on another level, for me it is still much better than not playing at all. I would easily play on Oceanic hosts if you guys have a Perilous team with a free spot.
