Which faction has the largest current PERMANENT population in CW?

Which faction has the largest current TOTAL population in CW?

as a bonus which faction is largest in pug Q

[Mordin Ashe]

I would love to know that as well. Could anyone ask Russ on his twitter? He might be willing to share that way

[TheDeckardCain]

It would be interesting to see. He would never release numbers but something like this ye might go for it.

I already tried a couple times.... he's never answered me

The biggest problem with answering these questions is they give away population numbers which influence the game... IE if they showed that Liao had the lowest number of units in CW they would lose even more units because people would be "screw that" why stay with a faction that has a low Population and will obviously lose.

Doesn't mean we don't desire the pretty numbers anyway though.. <grin>

And what will you do with this kernel of knowledge? What benefit will it provide.

[Almond Brown]

There is a Spreadsheet being maintained with that data. Perhaps look that up for your answers and no link will be provided.

Problem is that the Spreadsheet is depended on Units providing the info.. its not coming out of the PGI database in any form.

So only "exact" numbers will do?

Do you want those sent out Hourly or would a Daily feed be good enough?

Well my best guess is that my spreadsheet only accounts for about 1/3rd of all the units in game and I get MAYBE 3 or 4 updates a week... so to say its not routinely updated is an understatement.

Russ did give me the nod to send a API request to Fox to add a Unit TAG / Unit Name / Current Faction to the API dump That will solve the issue of accuracy... BUT there is no eta on that yet.

Given how horrible this game is their is probably like 40-70 people online right now....so much for "community warfare" more like "small skirmishes here and there warfare". Im learning how to PUG though...never Q for a match when you know a 12 man is there. Let them fight turrets because losing EVERY match SUCKS!

Don't you just love all those lovely games that actually show you how many people are currently playing instead of being very tight lipped about it?

When I used to play CW though sometimes the queues would only show 40 people playing in the faction with maybe the same number fighting us. Now obviously that did not take into account actual matches in progress, but still very low pop there!
