go back to what the mechanics were at the start of the game. look for yourself, now you're mostly playing either with bots in a team against those who play for days, or you're playing yourself against bots. neither is interesting. there is practically no online service, and soon there will be only bots. Playing now, I'm just feeling irritable. when I used to have fun. Goodbye Party Animals, it's all the fault of both the players and the developers. you could have become the best game, but you will become the fastest game that will drop to zero online.
The game is over.
What game types are you playing? I've been playing every day to get the cabbage challenges and I haven't been in a lobby with a bot since the start of that event. This is across SMASH, Nemo Kart, and just regular quick play whatever they call it (the one where it's either last stand or team score).
What do you think devs and players should be doing better? You mentioned mechanics, what specifically do you prefer? I know they've nerfed a few weapons some of which should be reverted, but I don't know of any other gameplay mechanic changes. Adding SMASH and Nemo Kart was a huge W IMO.
Not sure what you expect players to do. If they don't enjoy the game, they're going to stop playing like you claim to be doing. Unless you mean the people asking for nerfs to everything. In which case that's probably part of the problem.
