I love R.U.S.E but it's lonely.. | Forums

[GoDaveGo]

So, I've come across from EA (mainly CnC, Red alert 2, 3 etc). RUSE has no online lobby to talk to people, no clan system to team up with your 'mates' and well it's just a bit lonely??

I'm not really that much into gaming, I work / study / gym / girlfriend and walk my dog. But an integral part of my small gaming life is meeting people, forging a good alliance and taking on other people. It's just like there is really much of a 'community'.

Just wondering if anyone agreed with me or whether you lot think I'm just being pedantic.

Cheers.

Hey, I tell ya what you need to do... JOIN THE STEAM RUSE COMMUNITY GROUP TODAY: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/rusecommunity

as you will see, there is basically ALWAYS people in the chat room, and they are all up for games. The skill varies from the very best players (XoYnoZnu and wolfy) down to more moderate players. If you join at peak time 7pm till 3am gmt, then you'll find lots of people from europe and america to play and chat with hope this helps.

Yes, RUSE is lonely. For some reason they thought it would be a good idea to split the player pools up by region (based on steam download location.) As a result the game feels like it is downright dead at times and some regions have massive waits to get a 1v1 ranked game.

The community is also kind of behind on the 'community' aspects you mentioned too.

They are supposed to be removing region locking soon, but a lot of damage was already done.

Still they should add some of these features into the game and make it feel less like a console designed UI.

i dont have much comparison, since the only game i lpayed online alot was supreme commander, but i must say that through steam and its groups i have way more contact to other players then with gpgnet.
in practically all my non 1v1 games i play with friends.

I come from C&C, EA ruined it. Anyways, since you say your lonly get heaps of steam friends, I usually have 5 friends online average and I am in 3 communities.

Btw you should add me. AverageSoldier

[GoDaveGo]

Yeah I tried to add you average, but my steam said your account was not found or something.

I tried AverageSoldier & Average Soldier

EDIT: average add me, my steam is Wigan_Dave

This has the most chance of success. There is always someone in there. And it is good to see some new people and have a chat

Between NY and Germany download regions, I can always find a game. Doesn't feel lonely at all.

Steam is the mechanism for community-building for RUSE, btw.
