What’s going on with Helltides? I’ve probably done 10 of the in the last 2 days and hardly anyone is in them. Ya I see people here and there but it feels like maybe 10 people are in two zones. Most of the time I’m having to doing the events solo. Every once in a while I see a few people, but they are just running by. Only once was I in group and that was cool, but damn there is no one doing these. It reminds me of playing on my server when it was about to be merged in Wow.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but a vast majority of people who purchased this game aren’t logging in anymore.

Ya know for all the people out there tell me how popular this game is that it’s what I’m starting to think. I’ve gone to do Gathering Legions and there will be so few people we can’t get the objectives done half the time. I’d say one in 4 we have enough people to get the objectives done.
But I’m starting to think the same thing.

I think there’s like only 12 people per zone or something under the way they did the multiplayer, it feels empty everywhere except at the events to me even from day one.

Game hard lock crashed on my lap top during a helltie. Watching my brother on the TV and XBOX come over to where I crashed to protect me.
Suddenly a ghost appears.
No mobs to slay to protect me.
Hardcore is fun but I’m not sure how many times I’m willing to be cheated.

Seriously? Only 12 per zone? Well that’s not fun at all for a Helltide. Who wants to do a Helltide with only 12 people max? Even 6 in an event seems to be just enough to feel fun, but I’d like to see more like 25 per zone.

You need to do them to upgrade gear to the last tier.
Usually the legion event if there is one in helltide, has people.
They might have avoided the D3 opening day server issues by adding in lots of servers. Of course the downside is after the launch date the game feels depopulated.
Ya, no hardcore for me, I don’t feel like dying to unstable servers and ddos.

The servers seem to barely be able to handle the 12 people lol… I mean it’s probably like 12 people per zone with 2500 zones being handled at once per each server, with some poor intern running from station to station trying to cool them down using a desk fan and a long extension cord.
That explains the rubber banding ;_;

It isn’t constant for me but I can solo nightmare tier 23 and die in helltides to what seems like a one hit are lag stop and dead.
I like to ride my horse and follow someone like you.

IDK I do them quite often and when I do sometimes a big group will end up doing an event together. Kind of fun TBH. Maybe just time of day/day of week?

poor rewards
why open the chests to know you are getting a craptastic item?
in fact, I don’t think the chests even are capable of unique drops.
on top of that tree of life boxes are horrible as well
there’s no incentive to do these events

Yeah, they really need to define “Hardcore” in a more online friendly manner if the dependency is not going to be just your rig but also your network connection and theirs. HC should be more forgiving if anything in that case. Too many variables to interrupt and/or cheat you out of progression. Especially with all of the insane (unmitigated) insta-stun CC.
Maybe a freebie death (one per week) so if you hit that block, it offers you the choice to keep moving forward and risk it again or wait a week and stop on the ladders because you DC’d or something.
Maybe I’m crazy but I haven’t noticed less people in Helltides recently. It always didn’t seem like many people were doing Helltides. I can always find a handful of players in any Helltide zone, but yeah that’s it. I think that’s just how it is though, you won’t suddenly see 20+ people because of Helltide, because you can never see 20+ people in a zone… only for Legion or World Boss events.

For me I actually like them, but I hate the timers. Most of the time I finish a dungeon, then I see there is a helltide running… But only after it’s already started 15 minutes or so. Then I feel like" this one is done, I’ll waiting for the next". Same again at the next…
Since Dungeons are instances they not tell you about it. And I don’t like to block my second screen with an external tool telling me, that I should not start the next dungeon since next helltide is up in 10 or 5 or whatever.
I’d really like to choose when to run it, when I want. I am fine if it then has a cooldown, so you can’t run it permanently, but at least I’d have the choice. It’s same for worldbosses, I am usually only online at one of those daily slots and sometimes I miss even this as well. At least that happens more rarely, since it’s on the map for half an hour inbefore. If they implement such timed content, it should be prominent announced, so people have time to plan around it.
