You know the server you're in is dead when....

You play a full game of Siege against the volge and have no other player turn up to the siege.

Good one.

At least you didn't get an assist score.
I always hated losing to turrets, myself.

This scene is becoming more and more common. On the PC side, I think people would rather do Arkbreaks instead of Sieges, especially due to the horrible rewards (grenades) with Sieges. I know I stopped doing Sieges for the most part.

[Chump Norris]

Yep this is what its come to. The raised the DMG needed for max rewards and added new stuff. Im also guilty of passing up sieges (now) because my time could be better spent doing other things.

No fun doing Sieges when you realize that it's just a DPS race. Takes all the fun out of having different perks/loadouts/weapons/playstyles when the end result is to get 27K/40K from damage.

Major Arkbreaks suck for the about reason (see WM) and because I still can't place a battery without lagging out trying to enter the interior. And nobody fights the WM the "right way" anyways.

Minor Arkbreaks are fun because they are cheap, easy to get into, offer more bad guys inside (from what I've experienced) and less lag.

Use a Surge Bolter. 3 - 5 minutes, max score. *Sad*

I think Surge Bolters are causing some people to stay away from sieges too.

I'm avoiding major Arkbreaks due to an excessive amount of idiots, AFKers, griefers and people who just don't know what to do...

Sieges I join as many as I can, start off with my pistol/launcher combo, and if someone's using a surge Bolter I whip mine out, which I'd rather not do...

Agreed on all your points. The WM is becoming easier to kill as more people understand how to fight him. The rewards could be WAY better, but there is a certain satisfaction I get from putting the final bullet in that bastards head (arm) and seeing "Critical Kill, Power Kill and Avenger Kill" all pop up at the same time.

Yep, most definitely.

I have a suspicion that more servers are being kept running and leaving more instances of the gameworld open due to the arkbreaks. I don't think it's dwindling server population so much as people being spread across more servers.
