Player Retention

Bomb jumping was silly in classic, and downright stupid in beta.

Classic: Press F, shield up, blast into the sky. Press F again while falling, if timed right you'll blast up again. Repeat to fly.
Beta: Spit a bunch of bombs on the ground, shield down, fly into the vast Starbound universe.

 

Because of the way coins worked in alpha only the good knights could afford bombs to bomb jump with, and even then it was hard, and not as powerful, but because of the way the game worked far more devastating, you would think this would cause good players to snow ball and be unbeatable, but it didn't, no idea why but some other old fag will make a wall of text about it.

 

Obviously it's not ALL I know, but it was the easiest method and it was silly. Obviously shielding down on a bomb with another primed in your hand and then pulling off a triple in midair was the best way to do it, and you can use that method in Beta too, but I'm referring to the noob-easy method of bomb jumping. Both classic and beta had a method, and each was either silly or stupidly easy to abuse.

 

ya but cant you just go builder and get a easy 20 coins?

 

I disagree , luck based hack and slash only gets you a certain distance, all it takes is for someone with 'strategy' to lunge of a wall and slash stomp you, or shield bash stomp slash you, their are many ways to counter in beta if your willing to learn.

Then die of fall damage

 

Knights never take fall damage in classic. Shield gliding OP. It also used to be the same way in beta until the awful nerfs.

 

chickens are cuewl :P

 

.. and obviously, you're one of the few.

 

As Fuzzle said, you are one of few. I still play it even after three years but only in short bursts. Most people don't play it for hundreds of hours because there isn't much content or variation. It's fun as hell but pretty much doing the same thing over and over again gets boring.

 

Bombjumping was actually abysmal. "Hurr durr let me hold the bomb and fly"

 

Well, one thing is sure:
People who take the time to join the forums will either stay for a long time, or are here just to bitch about being ping-banned and not waiting for 5 minutes.

 

I play for hundred of hours only because how tight the community is. After playing for as long as I have you get to know everybody, and once someone gets bored of playing kag we can just all jump on minecraft or what not. I find it's the people that keep bringing me back to kag rather than the gameplay. Being decent at kag is just a bonus

 

I kinda agree with the people part because, however terrible the comunity is towards newbies, they are great to each other, competitive enough to make it interesting, and most players are really cool guys (and gals) once you get past the -spam.

 

'Tis a nice place here.

 

Are you sure you play the same game I do. Most monopoly games have more teamplay and most window cuddling flys are less desoriented then the average player you meet in this game. Besides the way everyone plays the game, there are rarely remarkable personalties. It's suprising that the only person from the forums I even remember playing with/against ingame is Duplolas.

Back to topic; the gameplay changes with every 1-2 months but without adding (much) new content. The game left the beta stage after adding legolas and archer ropes but latest changes feel like a regression. Either add new content or stop changing crucial game-elements.

 

Or, if you rather, you don't play the same one that we do. There are a lot of people here that say that they have met some good people in this game, so I imagine that it's just that you have yet to.

 

I've never had the misfortune of meeting him ingame. Maybe a quarantine should be set up just in case, though.

 

How about we advertise the game on a minecraft server or something.

MORE PEOPLE

No, this is about keeping players, and Minecrafters wouldn't be fun.
