It is such a poorly designed, laggy and stupid continent. Oshur has been open on Cobalt ALL DAY, on a SUNDAY and the server population has actually decreased as the day goes on because no one wants to play on the awful continent. They all go on Miller and come back when Oshur is locked, but because of this Oshur can't even fully open and so we're stuck on it all day. Nobody likes the god awful continent, just delete it.
Water activities anyone? *Oshur, Bahamas come’on pretty mama- Beach Boys*. I’d have more fun getting a root canal. Playing on Oshur is like being a constipated turtle chalked full of sleeping pills. o7
and here we have a perfect example of why people who play on dead servers should not have a valid opinion on how the game should be played because they dont have the population to even support their claims.
All that content "could" be salvaged, but unlikely that it will. Some great ideas on the forums to make Oshur fun.
Cobalt averages around 500 people during weekdays and 600 on weekends. That is far from dead. Miller averages even more. If they actually merged both EU servers, Europe would have the highest player population. Even more than Emerald.
I actually like Oshur. It is very different and a nice change of pace and it's pretty. Could it use work? 100% But it should be "reworked" such that some things worked better there like Sunderers and moving around in water. But I for one do not want it deleted. I rather play Oshur than Hossin. To reuse a movie line. If I owned Hossin and Hell, I would rent out Hossin and live in Hell.
I get over 100fps on all other continents while in large fights. Literally just being on Oshur, not even in a fight my fps is limited to 60. The water is such a drag on client fps. And it hurts even more knowing how useless the whole water feature is. Also 90% of Oshur gameplay is sitting on an island in the middle of the continent firing at other tanks and man-made bases. How is that fun? Every single time Oshur gets unlocked, on any continent, the player count drops.
Need to consider adding some options to the boats Most likely quite worse than any other vehicle in the game currently Least have deploy / Squad spawns And/Or ability to equip some tank weaponry (Maybe both) Yeah, it’ll be a bit overpowered for real OP nights But, they currently do not seem to really have any real purpose or role for most players
Is the issue your FPS number or that the game is impossible to play? I don't care about my FPS number so long as I can play without lag. I don't know how to explain why I find Oshur fun. If I am to respect your opinion that for you it is not fun, then you should in kind respect mine that it is. I don't at all disagree it needs some dev love, but I personally believe it has a lot of potential and don't want it deleted.
I think you're in a small minority there then. The player count always massively drops once Oshur is unlocked, and it's obvious why. But when you go from smooth 100fps gameplay on any other continent, to less than 60 when there's not even a fight (purely because of the water) then it feels absolutely awful to play on. A game that is already so demanding and performs horribly should not be adding continents that make that even worse. But putting performance aside, idk why people enjoy sitting in the middle of the map with a tank for 60 minutes fun.
Delete? No. Rebuild? Yes. The map would do well with more high ridge mountains, facilities, bridges, and underground tunnels. Also add mag lifts or teleporters at tridents
The issue is they supposedly either don't want to rework it or don't have the ressources or both. In that case it's better to just delete it since as soon as it unlocks most the playerbase logs off. It's not worth keeping it if they're not gonna rework it. On the other hand they should bring back koltyr especially off hours since it was already a good continent and most people want it back.
