The hard limit for players plans to be increased later down the road once the netcode is a bit more polished. It's perfectly feasible.

you said something :)

no

aww come on some one say some thing...

@ outwrangle,

Currently there are 371 people on ace of spades. More than 200.

Why have a limit at all? if it lags the lower the limit (if youre the host) or leave and join an other server(if you just a player)

it is possible to increase the player cap but these things will take time and they will need to be properly tested like all things that are considered to be put in any game

mag can handel 200 some people on ps3 we have pcs i think we could handle 64 people yet alone 100 i think that would make aos a lot better

I feel it would work, someone hosted a couple famous youtubers on a minecraft server and 800+ people were there online, even if it is a completely different game AoS probably do atleast 100.

oh and btw 200 people on Trenches would be epic.

There is already a hack for this in Pyspades? Think the post said somthing like 64 was tested on a LAN and it worked OK. I would love to see more people allowed on servers if it does not cause lag.

^ No, the game cannot handle 200 people. Especially not right now it can't. My internet sure as hell can however. You have it backwards.

SLAYER, how i computer?

The game can handle 200 people.

But your internet would not.

What does that imply?

As I said.

"The game can.
You can't."

I don't know, this game seems light enough. If it was programmed good, I don't see why not.

I am on about 200 slots.

64 is easy to handle.

^ Please, just stop.

The game can.

You can't.

^ Jackster, that was an absolutely horrible analogy. After the code is optimized, this game could easily support 64 players. It's not like it's never been done before.

It would only be laggy for the end user.

Servers would cope.

You have to see it as a 32 FPS video.

Now make that 200 FPS and stream that.

I don't think 200 people have ever played AoS at the same time, but okay.

So why not allow the server host to set their own maximum cap? I'm sure that a host could determine how many players they could reliably host, and then set their own personal limit accordingly. Why limit them by forcing them to top out at 32?

"9. Do you want to change the size of the maps? If so how big or small?

Not really... I'd like to increase playercounts to 64 one day though."

Yes, I'm aware DE. I don't think you know how to computer however.

^ lol

you dont belive me? more ppl = more lag, ask any server hoster.

^ ignore this idiot. There will be increasing caps as the game progresses.

because maps are only a certain size, you dont want them to be "overpopulated" imagine 200 people on pinpoint....

It would be a fucking disaster.

Plus more ppl = more lag

I dun get it. Why cap it at 32? Why cap it at all?

If someone has a server that can handle more, why not let them host more?
