quote from (DownGate) Feature Requests: No Players Online

"...
DG needs 2 professional players to prime the pump and keep an active game going.

Otherwise, as LoneWolf discovers, nobody's playing, so he moves onto something else.

At least in the early time frame until DG's popularity improves.

I will do my best to be on at that time each week. I'll also PM all my Friends from my Friends List to try and do the same.

I can attest that people were there and playing.

Thanks guys, we really appreciate the help in boosting this game. We've felt it was one of those that really is good enough to stick, but it needs a playerbase to make it fun. You guys are really helping.

We have an update to help fix some of the matching/crashing glitch issues and to introduce a joining menu. It's sorta sitting on the backburner while we pound on the XM air port.

I'll keep you posted. Keep it up!

It's hard to not scare off newcomers.
I try to only use the drones that I keep low level, but it's easy to forget.

I often cycle my selected drones in my haste/panic between games.
(I do it on purpose too, to show off /compare ,
but only if I'm equal or weaker than everyone)

DownGate: Operation Player's Map

The first 2 minutes of each round are Cease Fire for construction faze.

I'm thinking quick and dirty Fox holes, barricades, and trenches.
Explosives are allowed for digging Fox holes & starting a bunker

Eastern Daylight Time

My purpose for this event is to encourage the Devs to add a custom map option /tool.

not a one time event, just not sure if it should overlap Prime the Pump or not
