Game was/is not intended for PvP or more than 8 players. Don't expect to see any improvements for this at this time. A17E will probably drop late July. I wouldn't expect to see multiplayer improvements until at least beta and probably nothing for PvP. While I applaud TFP's vision for a friendly post apocalyptic world, that's not the reality. People want PvP and they will play PvP just don't expect optimization from the devs. At least not at this point in time. Maybe we'll get something after gold but who knows.
