Player Count — WARDOGS match capacity and teams
A WARDOGS match supports up to 100 players split across three teams named Valkyra, Lonestar and Manticore.
Every thirty seconds, the team with the most players in the Control Zone earns one point, and the first team to reach one hundred points wins.
Players can join and leave through seamless drop-in and drop-out play, so active team sizes can change throughout a long match.
Watch the developer explain that matches support up to 100 players and that team sizes change as players join and leave.Playing this video connects to YouTube.
Player Count — WARDOGS player-count questions
- Is every server fixed at exactly 100 players?
- No. Matches support up to 100 players, and server administrators can choose lower caps; 80 and 81 were given as examples.
- What are the three WARDOGS team names?
- The three teams are Valkyra, Lonestar and Manticore.
- How does drop-in and drop-out play affect team sizes?
- Players are expected to join and leave rather than remain for the entire match. The developer expects team sizes to move around 27 to 33 players for much of a session.
- What happens when 100 players cannot divide evenly?
- One team has an extra player. The developer says variation in player skill and playstyle means that extra player does not create an unfair edge.
