Missed this game a lot
It's time to comeback to this amazing game, i'm only worried about the player base, is it still like how it was a year ago? And is the game still alive?

Re: Missed this game a lot
Playerbase is decent, there's always at least 1 full european server and 1 full american server, even more on the weekends.

Re: Missed this game a lot
Quality of players went down tho. Even compared to a year ago.
But ye unless you try it in the middle of the week at eu morning times you should always be good with atleast 1 server

Re: Missed this game a lot
I have not touched the game in about a year or 2, and planning on coming back as well
. It still looks like the player base is strong, HOG is always full when I check as well are other server(s) close to full at times. Only weird thing to me is it's not full like I would think it would be in the summer time.
Like CAS_ual_TY said the quality of players is decreasing significantly.

Still kicking, check PRTA in my signature, we hosts One-Life events from time to time, max realism when it comes to PR.

Re: Missed this game a lot
Yeah this game is the worst you just cant get away from it once you get the taste of it =(
Either way, welcome back man, one thing you will defenilly notice is that the skill or mentality of the players has indeed decreassed =/ - we probabaly have the same time zone my brothers =D just dont expect quality game at least until 3PM in a regular day, from that point you start getting more concise games
One thing that is super sad is sometimes hiting the 1 minute mark when a game begins and not seing a SQ popping up...

The game is still alive, but join a clan and do events where you play with/against other clans or do a tournament. After you did that you won't be able to pub anymore.

Re: Missed this game a lot
playerbase is full of retards that cry over everything. And literally 1 server (HOG) has a monopoly on all of PR. They are the only server ever populated, so if you get banned from there (which is not hard) then yea no more PR. Fucking sad to see it's come to this.

Re: Missed this game a lot
Lol not entirelly true - its random if people will join HOG or SSG and that depends on the hours. For regular Europe time starting 2-3 PM players will start coming and depending on which server they join it will define which server stays alive and the other dies.shook1z wrote:playerbase is full of retards that cry over everything.

Cant denie comunity got more stupid, also its really easy to get banned but even easier not to get banned
Edit 1 : ohh you are that guy that got but hurt and went complain on the foruns, dude just go to the server forum and request unban its simple, if you explain nicely the situation they will favor you. Also the ban is always half a day/a day, if you do deep shit you get more time out so if you are complaining you got banned for a long time you are probably doing something wrong budy

Re: Missed this game a lot
Not butt-hurt. I rarely ever play. And when I do, I just play on HOG anyway. Fuck SSG. Whomever did so on a bullshit premise. He said I was hovering above a FOB for no reason and got shot down by a TOW and he banned me for that which is complete nonsense. I was dropping some dudes off, after I did I got lit up by a 50 cal and my chopper lost hydraulics so I had to emergency land close to another squad. Did that attract some fire to that position? Perhaps. I don't deny that. But what was I supposed to do? Just go down with the chopper and maybe take some of my guys out instead of landing it? Is that really a bannable offense? No way in hell am I going to go beg those idiots to be unbanned for something I never should have been banned for. I already tried to explain myself and ******* comes out of left field with a complete fucking lie as to why he banned me. He was probably requesting crates or a pick-up and got mad because I couldn't get to his squad or some shit so he decided to ban me. Do you really think admins don't do shit like that? They do all the time. It blows my mind that server owners just give admin rights to random ******** not even in their clan like that. I love this game but this community has become so fucking toxic and you're naive if you try to deny that. I've seen them ban squad leaders that were doing excellent jobs in the past. I've also seen them NOT ban ******** that were intentionally TKing team mates in main. Fuck that server and the idiots that administrate it. HOG is at least fair and usually gets their bans right.Brotherscompany wrote:Lol not entirelly true - its random if people will join HOG or SSG and that depends on the hours.

The main problem with this community like I said is that one server HOG basically has a monopoly on the game. They are the only server ever populated 7 days of the week. Their should never be a monopoly on anything. This seriously needs to change or PR is going to die soon. It's had a good run but it is inevitable if things don't change.

Re: Missed this game a lot
lm not denying it dude, its not for much but l have been playing a bit more than you and l play almost at a dailly base so lm pretty well aware what happens - yeeh there are some admins that abuse power like hell and dont make rational decisions, l have been kicked or banned for a day while being SQL just because my SQ wasnt named correctly. l have seen SQL getting kicked because of doing a good job but most of the times its because they rushed the first flag or are on the edge of the rules or being a rage inducing to an entire team, because they were performing on the edge of the rulesshook1z wrote:Not butt-hurt.

And dude if you are flying a chopper you got to know the risks of doing it. Only now after 2 years have l decided to take a chopper because of all the rage that comes towards you if you dont thing perfectly, that is just something you got to exepect coming from the PR Comunity (although l recon people need to start being more forgiving because they dont even realise what is on our mind and the fact if they keep acting like that we will loose the vehicle players). Unfortunelly you got unlucky you had a bad admin dealling but l tell yah, if you really wanted you could just go to their foruns and explain it you will get unbanned straigh away, that just happen in the moment, its not like you did it on porpuse.
Either way yeh, cant denie comunity became a bit more toxic

IDK man, I love this game but I just don't understand why all the server admins have so much anger towards the player base. Maybe that's why it's dying, people are just sick of always being banned for bullshit. I'm just waiting for squad to get choppers then I'll go play that full time. All the griefing and admin hate for everyone is just not worth it. I just want to play and have a good time and it seems like that's a rarity these days with PR.
