New Make skial 2fort eu+ back to 32 from 64

Somewhat Threatening Sniper
Due to last years update regarding the casual bot banning wave, a massive exodus of players has happened that rendered 24 player eu skial dead for days at a time and some days not even reaching +15 players, due to this most player opt joining the 64 players server due to the higher average amount of players, in my opinion lowering the number to 32 will not only improve gameplay quality where it encourages fast paced playstyles and discouraging base sieges where one team will sit outside the others base spamming sentries rockets pipes etc.. but this would also increase the playercount to the 24 player server from larger 2fort skial server.
This would also have massive improvement on the performance of the server allowing it to run smoothly and for the players to get better performance aswell.

Ive asked multiple people about this matter and they've had the same opinion as me about this. I hope that you take my suggestion into consideration because ever since it died a community of people died with it.

There's also another problem, the super aimbot of the bots when there's no one does also make it very boring to stay. It's not a challenge when they magically know where you are and perfectly deflect everything.
When the server detects that there are less than X amount of players the BOT difficulty could be reduced 1 level or it's precision/increased spread giving people more chances to stay.

+1 That's what I'm sayin!
Seriously though I'm not entirely sure how 64 players on probably the second most cramped map (1st being turbine of course) is supposed to be fun
Haven't been playing 2fort lately but would be nice to have 32 players back since it's at least playable

Back when 24 player 2Fort Skial was perma active it was probably the most fun I had in Skial but the moment the 64 player basically replaced it all of the fun was away.

Well obvs. 64 ppl is too much if it's not a joke server. Yeah I join Turbine 64, but I will leave it when it fills up. It's such an exhausting spamfest when it's (near) full.
I've been to 2Fort enough times. I don't enjoy it at all if it's 64 players or anywhere near that.
 
I would also like to add that the lerp changes for some people made connection worse and made gameplay feel far worse then if they could choose their own lerp instead of being forced to 30. Ive seen a thread of people having the exact same complaints as us but on payload instead ( higher player count ruined their fun and gameplay, fps and performance and the lerp changed seems to have also upset them. link below to their thread)

i feel like going into further detail regarding the spillover effect this change would have on the servers. if this does indeed go forwards and the player count is halved, people that dont feel like sitting in queue to join would join one of the two other 2fort servers. this would inevitably fill one of the servers up and again the people who dont feel like sitting in a queue would join the 3rd server, although not at the same volume. i only wanted to further add some clarity on this point as i know this would further add to the longevity of said servers creating their own communities just as the 24 slot server when i first started playing. i really dont wanna play on 64 anymore man please

people opt to join the 64 player server due to the higher average amount of players on. who would join an empty server when theres one with people already playing? changing the cap to 32 would make most people join one of the others. i also wanted to add that theres also a considerable amount of afk bots on the 64 player server throughout the day, some of which stay for hours at a time.
