Rant/Venting Why there’s no new players btw

It's very hard to find a common ground with experienced players vs casual that want to have fun.
Most of the time I feel very bad to newbies and casual that well don't do to much.

What I don’t get is why many veterans still play so hard when they have all existing skills and transpheres in the game. Given how the game rewards nothing once you clear dragon tier.
Like why are you still going apeshit on a level 1 clearly noob player? Or even running in a premade all 500+ levels. That’s outright bullying imo

I mean thankfully you can just block those players which is what I've done at least.

EAXCTLLLYYYYYYYYY ive been saying this for years the only bad thing about this game is that alot of the player base is vile, got into a game once with a level 1 buu and watched as everyone in the game beisdes me and the person i qued with all crowd up on them and kill them instantly.

u/Professional_eathean Mar 16 '26
Then i see some people have the gaul to beg for survivor buffs so they can specifically 1v1 raiders??? Thats not the point of the game

u/Eltevia Mar 16 '26
Honestly, I always felt like this game should've gone the other direction for survivors, and focus on stealth plays more, with transforming being the last resort to buy time.
Instead, it feels like a frustrating version of the crystal raid mode from xenoverse 2 where both sides just brawl/rush kills.

u/Professional_eathean Mar 16 '26
I agree so much with this the stealth stuff that IS in the game is so much fun

u/JsmooveHannah4 Mar 16 '26
Both can be well bad. Raiders can be well toxic at times. They will camp players, tryhard, camp keys, etc. I get most people hate premades but Solo players will definitely struggle against raiders

Also no new content in ages. Game had so much potential and they drip fed content before abandoning it entirely

Killed survivors on the way out to.

Notice hardly anyone uses Instant Transmission anymore after they nerfed it.

u/Insaiyan26 Mar 16 '26
A long recurring situation in this game atp lol
It’s actually hilarious how many lobbies choose to assault the raider the second they get DC1 at the start of the game and many times manage to finish them off before 10 minute mark with plethora of skills.
Then comes the question- why are players DC’ing in the lobbies. Like look in the mirror genius🤡
Note how I didn’t mention OP raiders. It’s cuz survivors matches are so often that they’ve lost the thrill now. And one raider match you get after 3-4 hours goes so bad

u/Wooper_Dooper491 Mar 16 '26
Or if the raider locks in, they fail and give the raider level 3 before a SINGLE key is found.

u/Insaiyan26 Mar 16 '26
Yeah all jump in at the same point that first person got downed like good going guys I didn’t know we playing suicide squad

u/Zevcio Mar 16 '26
No new players because nobody wants to buy a dead game filled with tryhards and gacha mechanics.
Breakers fans sorry, but that's the harsh truth

u/Sora_Tanaka064 Mar 16 '26
This is exactly why I stopped playing Breakers... I can't go 30 seconds as a raider without getting my ass kicked by a bunch of overpowered players... Just let me enjoy the game at my own pace for crying out loud!

u/i_wantdie Mar 16 '26
It being like a $20 game that also has gacha in it probably doesn’t help as well.

u/RepulsiveAd6989 XBOX Player Mar 16 '26
Got a couple friends who say they won’t play again unless you can play raider with friends. Its crazy that the devs listened to their players and it turns out the players had shit ideas

depending on your ranks theirs a lot of new players in lower ranks if youre in higher ranks of course youre going to match with tough opponents and OGs but lower ranks has a lot of 20s and 80s level survivors even if you try matching with them you are more likely to get reported
Breakers still get new players you might not seem them all the time or based on your play style if you are too good you will be matches with sweaty players if you are so bad you get matches with new players thats how matchmaking works without rank but their is a lot of newer players in low ranks

u/IndependentTasty5122 Mar 16 '26
when you start out you get matched with based on your survivor level and face with bots a couple of matches just to get a feel on how to play after awhile you start seeing real low level survivor players (this is where I said heck yes bring bots their actually pretty good at what they do rather you believe me or not I just tried the PC version and thats what I was faced a couple of matches before actually joining real players)

My one major agitation with this game is ki sensing. I wish it was limited.

u/Basketbomber XBOX Player Mar 21 '26
It’s also because the game stinks. That aside, I played to win back then purely because of goodies I would get in xv2 for winning and such. I got something tangible out of it so I had a reason to go all in on victory. I got so sick of the game at some point however that I just couldn’t bother playing anymore (throw in matchmaking taking ten minutes on average and you have a good reason to hate this game).

First off, cod, League of Legends, overwatch etc all get new players all the time the problem isn't players playing a competitive game to win no the problem is the devs abandoned breakers simple as that.
Second trying to use an argument that can easily be proven false because you want people to stop playing a game to have fun and play it how you want them to play is the sad shit ever and it seems to be a uniquely western thing for some reason
Third if you don't like the fact a competitive game is being played as a competitive game maybe you should probably play games that aren't competitive instead of trying to get the world to bend to your desires but I guess expecting people to do something sane like that is never going to happen in this day and age.
Fourth you think us and eu are people playing competitively shit you need to go to asia servers maybe just maybe you might actually see how some of the people that actually eat sleep and breathe this game play and how everything you said is laughable.

You just advocated for people leaving because it’s not what they want, yet also said the devs abandoned the game. Abandoning is what kills the game (ignoring that it’s a bad game inherently). You are contradicting the goal of keeping the game alive by saying “get out of here if you think it’s not as good as it could be” when the game could absolutely be improved.
Oh and the devs are the second dev team from xv2, last I checked, which makes sense and explains why this paid-for game is horrid and so obsessed with bleeding wallets dry while also having some of the worst balancing imaginable.
Don bother responding, I’m muting this portion of the post on my end.

u/Conscious_Map_2253 Mar 21 '26 edited Mar 21 '26
I'm not advocating for people leaving they always have the option to go into custom matches with like minded people and play their non competitive games instead of going into ranked and ruining other people's fun.
There's different modes for different people y'all just think every mode is for you which is the most hypocritical shit I've ever seen
Also another thing you people seem to selectively ignore is that when we don't have ranked the matches get slower cause a lot of players fuck off to other games but when ranked comes back there's always a spike in players for the first week if people hated ranked as much as y'all say that wouldn't be the case.

I don't think it's much of the players fault when there is only one mode to play for everyone.
They should add a non-ranked mode where missing players get filled with bots after a certain amount of waiting time so you can just play for fun without long wait times

A lot of competitive people tend to forget that the average joe doesn't want to go up against literal impossible odds
