Is there a low map cap?
“There’s no lag but what we make.” – biofrog
Map cap is all I can think of. Maybe to lower the system requirements with the sandstorm going on also, or maybe just to limit zerg size? The map chat has been virtually nil, even when I end up talking to myself
Yes I have noticed too that the map chat was quite silent when I played a few hours ago and that the map always felt empty.
Maybe A-Net lowered the map cap intentionally because it is a small map and it should not feel crowded. Maybe most players were playing the story-instance first, which would take some time.
Greetings.
