Dead game is dead...

its just one analysis it isnt fact and he isnt displaying facts he is saying if it continues in a downfall the game will die(which is true but that wont happen)

 

i learned so much from this topic! buzniz stuff!

 

I think the main thing is, as others have said, lack of publicity.
Contacting Youtubers is not the best you can do.
Neither is just depending on montages that will never get through these forums.
I think that what needs to be done are:

1) Have people in the community do guides, as to show different playstyles while still showing the main consensus of what makes a teamworking one knight better than a yoloSWEG#2069 solo knight. This would discourage tactics like jab-spamming as "the kewl cidz dunt doo it".

2) An updated Trailer video, that actually shows the game instead of it's features in terribly irrelevant bits of footage, stuck together with duct-tape and a British guy's voice. I mean, you can keep that, but also add in a newer trailer, possibly just a Gameplay one.

3) The community needs to stop being douchebags.

Yea, I went there.

I have never met a group that is, as a whole, so lethal to itself. The reason you hate on the newbies is because there are none that are coming in, and so these newbs are a liability. With the way the game, and the mindset of players, being the way it is, a new person will get emotionally scarred from the screams of rage thrown at them (and their mothers(and their bundles of sticks, ya fags)) for just being new.

4) In relation with numero uno and tres, there needs to be a newb server, for all those that wish to get into the game.
As suggested in a Free Weekend thread somewhere (too lazy to look), having some of the friendlier members go into those newer servers that are there, as to teach them, and having the more elitist (you know who you are) players can go hang in a mildly-passworded game, with it being found on the forums in a super-secret thread, hidden behind the swamp of Baurnil, and the smog of war that everyone can find.

5) Get rid of shotgun

 

bring back classic = win

 

I blame the devs they refuse to add new features ... They have obviously given up on kag...

 

Probably because it's a completed game. Geti still works his butt off trying to balance. I love this game even if it does have a few small problems here and there. Instead of dwelling on the past (classic) we should be focusing on the future of the current game!

 

Lol, you and I were both complaining about it earlier...

 

Don't even go there. Lol.

 

Yeah man I'm 100% behind you on this one. Imagine being able shout oh baby a triple so loud that it resonates for days

 

I swear that was sarcasm, I can't imagine anyone seriously wants COD squealers shouting in voice chat every time they get a kill.

 

Voices in KAG, no pls I don't want to be deaf

 

If voices went in kag... :(

 

Yellow please contribute thoughtful posts with reasoning behind them. Both of your comments so far have been discussed already

 

We should have a steam sale TBH






And not pub stomp the shit out of them when they play for the first time...

 

honestly tho i think the problem isnt really with the advertising. I think kag dev team pretty much introduced anyone, who would like this kind game, to this game already. But scared them away because this game is so competive, and players get snarky and mean when a new guy screws their team up. And ofcourse because of bad coding and design decisions, which makes people feel like they were threated wrong by the game.

If you want my opinion, which you probably dont want.
Then I would say. This game is done for. Kag team got lucky that the kag mechanics were so fun to play with, but bad decisions, as result of inexperience, fucked up what was good. Accept that, Learn from it, move on, make a new game, and dont screw up next time.

Or... you can keep on trying to reanimate kag. Make it even more unbalanced, and chase away even more people until its a pile of remains that will blow away by the wind...

 

Whilst that is true, I personally feel the game still has potential to attract more players. Not many more, but I recon KAG's pop could increase nicely with a few free weekends/sales alongside people recommending the game to their friends. Even if not, the game isn't doing too badly as is really and just because it doesn't have many players most certainly doesn't mean it's a dead game.

 

The game needs a tutorial because new players have no idea what the hell they are doing they get yelled at and leave. I just got my job 2 weeks ago, I'm going to buy a new computer and I'll have tutorials up in no time. I want to bring a ton more players in and I'll advertise it myself. There is a reason I've stayed with this game for 2.5 years... It's obviously not a bad game
