Maps like Oceana are killing any increase in daily # pickup. You can see very little # pick up mid day with that map, and I noticed even fall off of #s since more left without more coming in which use to be rare after 2pm or so. People log in, see very little action, or no battle, or a gang of one side by the other 2, and log out. I simply cannot understand why this map, crater, and bowlma are here when they create lame mid day gameplay that don't provide solid battles and pick up #s.
As I've said for years, if you don't build up midday #s and keep them in the game longer with good battles on the map, the #s stagnate throuout the day. Same for later into the night. The bigger the battle, the longer they stay. The further the flight with less of a battle, the quicker they log in the evening.
Primetime is about 110 and maybe 120 on Friday before FSO.
Generally mid day is about 40-60.
It sucks, but with the screen freeze issue (among others) all that's really left are the insanely addicted folks like me.
