lack of players? o.O

[happynoobing]

so i just got this game, and when i go on to multiplayer, it only gives me 20~30 games that i can choose from. is there something wrong with my filter or is that how many ppl are actually playing? i didn't set any filters...

oh and also how can u tell if a game is ranked or not? and how do i gain ranks?

It just all comes down to luck

You only need one server to play on right? To gain ranks you need to hit the "play now" button, you can't gain ranks by picking your own servers.

hmm interesting, cuz i've been playing on the games that i chose myself. even though my stats page says im still level1 in everything but everytime i connect to a game im level2 in US and Brit.

Offical ranks are done by the automatches and clicking play


you can still get yourself through the levels by playing 'basic matches' which are the ones you find on the server browser, these wont show on your stats page where it displays each factions rank, but you'll have the rank in chat rooms and when you join a basic match.

hope that clears it up

Thanks for that. Is there usually a lack of players on automatch too for anyone?

Re: lack of players? o.O

Like Sars said, basic matches are lobby games that anyone can host, you will get a rank but its not a 'proper' rank i.e there is no leader board for or anything, to go up the ranks you have to play automatches, there is 1v1 rank, 2v2, 2v2at (playing with a pre chosen team-mate to play a 2v2) and so on. 1v1 is the most common.

well i connect the fastest with 1v1, other ones takes a while to find it seems.

Re: lack of players? o.O

Yes thats quite common I think. Sometimes its impossible to get a 4v4 going...
