Why nobody is playing in prototype districts anymore?

[xHenryman90x 129]

I was glad when they disabled open PvP in these districts, so i was interested to play there. Why now nobody cares to play there anymore?

[Dezire 107]

Because the patch is live and there is no point playing in those districts?

Oh i didn't even notice. Shouldn't they then change those districts back to OC?

not every part of the weapon balance was brought over yet, as far as I know. But the ones people cared about (shotguns) were so they don't feel like bothering anymore (I think) Edited September 24, 2018 by Kevkof

no, those are only on financial

Meh. With open PVP you always could test this weapons, even if player count was low.
Now without it, nobody gonna wait around empty server for ghosts.

I was so dissappointed when I found out open pvp was taken off. Now I just wish they would bring back full chaos districts. They can have weapon tests in there I don't mind. It just opened up a lot of possibilities for events. No more snub nose battle royales

i assume it would split up the community even more, so they just reverted it back. Pretty sure its gonna come back, some day

Fingers crossed. I guess we need more players first. Not that many people were ever in the proto districts.

They were great places to knock out a few JTs without having to wait for a mission, no matchmaking, no teams, no items, no timers, no running to the other side of the map, no winning, no losing, just random killing and fun, why does the majority of the playerbase hate fun?

i didnt find it very fun tbh

[AxeTurboAgresor 268]

I loved open pvp in prototype districts. Wish they brought it back, and renamed it back to Open Conflict cuz it sounds cooler, and it fitting more when open pvp is on.

test districts are pretty dumb honestly, its just people plinking away at each other from around the park borders

and just enough people are in the test districts to make the regular districts just as unplayable, at least on jericho

its optimal in the fact that you can test weapons with no wait time in real district scenarios, but realistically thats not whats happening

orbit needs to realize if they want more than 20 people using the ntec and volcano on each other around the central park, they need to lead players by the hand

reasons

All the more reasons for bots! Or something like the Target Dummies in WoW they would let us at least test ranges and ttk etcetera, not so great for moving targets but if we going full bot might as well put a few on rails. 

While we're at it throw up some voice overs and text and make it a tutorial, did I just kill two birds with one great idea? Yes I did. Now make all districts open pvp.  Edited September 25, 2018 by KnifuWaifu
I like plinking

i’d be fine with open pvp if there was randomly spawned objectives to force the population to focus around different areas and extra spawns (like the ones from the chaos/anarchy districts) to get back to the action faster

I personally don't play there anymore BECAUSE open PvP is disabled. It was like the only good thing about those districts.

Like some sort of circle that moves around the map? Maybe places outside the circle can be made no-go zones to entice players to stay within your action zones? We shall call is Conflict Pie or CP for short.

Now you're talking my language. I propose "Trouble Tart".
Pew-Pew Pie is more or less taken...

I'm just upset I didn't think of Pew-Pew Pie first. 

@Matt will trade JTs to make Trouble Tart happen.

Because no one is playing anywhere
