Hey everyone, I haven’t played this game in about a month and just logged back in today. I’m really confused because I can’t find any US servers at all. All I’m seeing are Japanese servers when I try to matchmake. Did the player base drop off significantly or something? I’m wondering if people just stopped playing or if there’s some technical issue I’m missing. It’s pretty frustrating because the ping to Japanese servers makes the game basically unplayable for me. Has anyone else noticed this? Are there specific times when more American players are online, or should I just accept that the game isn’t as popular as it used to be? Really hoping this is just temporary because I was looking forward to getting back into it.
Same thing happened to me last week. The hype definitely died down after the initial surge but I still manage to find games if I’m patient.
Game had its moment but feels pretty dead now tbh
Yeah, that’s how these viral party games always go. They explode on Twitch and YouTube, everyone’s obsessed for a few weeks, then it dies down. It’ll probably spike again during holidays when people want games to play with friends.
Try Discord servers for finding groups - way better than matchmaking right now
I totally understand what you’re going through. I just logged back in recently too and noticed the same thing. It seems like the best times to find more players online are around 7-10pm EST, but even then it can be pretty hit or miss. It’s disappointing when a game you enjoy feels like it’s losing its steam. Hopefully, it’s just a temporary dip and things will get better.
Yeah, I’ve seen that too. It was busy for a while but seems pretty quiet now. I get better matches in the evening - might be worth trying then.
