Dead game is dead...

yeah just fucking do it already

 

plan of action:
1) nerf knight
2) nerf archer
3) give builder a handheld cannon
4) remove all explosives, replace with minikegs
5) replace water bombs with even higher aoe FIRE BOMBS

BAM, release as sequel on steam (for only $10) and never touch the game again

 

On a game, you can choose to play for fun and for a competitive aspect. You can even like BOTH. I dont see the problem with King Arthur's Gold. And i should say that in many cases, a competitive scene is useful to keep a game alive. We dont need any sponsor to play nice matches between clans and i havent any problem to join a server just for fun. Its just an opinion and a choice @revsta

About admins, you are putting a lot of people in the same bag. We are often hearing some troubles about this LK server. There are many others US servers if you want a proper admin team.

You are, imo, a bit too pessimist about the current state of the game.

About bugs, well guys, its a small dev team. Soldat has still bugs after 12 years. Some of them are annoying (on kag too),i agree with that.

 

Everyone here is missing the point. They cite games with higher learning curves as though that's supposed to justify this game's high learning curve. They cite Knights being more over powered in early builds as though that's supposed to justify how the game is now.

I personally have no issue with the things I'm discussing. I"m talking about new gamers and other gamers we need to keep this game going. But for some reason everyone wants to ignore these points and not give any reasons on their own why nobody is playing this game.

 

You are forgetting one thing too. @revsta

Marketing, adverts. Its not the main strenght of MM i guess (was the same thing with soldat)

 

Indie games blow up without marketing if they're good. Minecraft wasn't marketed for shit and the site was constantly down, because people were trying to get their hands on the game.

 

They only 'blow up' if they're really really good and lucky. KAG has a niche market and was pretty unlucky in getting many people to play.

 

It doesn't have to BLOW UP to have more than 62 people playing at a time. It doesn't require insane marketing to get a good player base with an indie game.

It's not 'unlucky' at getting people to play. It's unfriendly to new players and is catering a casual style game that would attract younger players to a hardcore/competitive audience.

edit: at the end of the day, if this game was welcoming to new commers and had good word of mouth, it would have more than 60 players on at a time. If bugs would get hotfixed, if the player base wasn't hostile to any changes we would have more players. But the devs don't fix anything, and the player base wants to hide their head in the sand while the game dies.

 

Publicized on YouTube by players of the game. And do you have any idea the scale of what he was selling before it blew the FUCK up?

Either way, 62 players on at a time for this game, while the player base screams there's nothing wrong with it a little marketing can't fix, is absurd.

 

You guys need to address bugs more frequently. And it IS a big issue having 62 people on at a time. Selling a buncha copies doesn't matter if nobody is playing your game. Unless of course all you want to do is cash out and leave the community hanging.

You still can't replace a damaged block with a block of a diff type. The game still crashes when leaving servers. FPS drops in mid maps still happen to people. There's still balance issues. There's still tons of issues, and it appears like you guys don't give a shit. The fact that you're in short developing the game, if not in a full time capacity' when the game is in fucking BETA, after you claim to have a million+ sales, speaks volumes to me. The game is a 'screaming success' and instead of actively going on the boards and listening to people and fixing bugs and trying new patches for balance to see how people react, etc. etc. you're just sort of fucking around doing nothing in particular, saying "we sold a bunch so it's a success and we'll kinda do some more shit occasionally" when the game is technically still in Beta is fucking baffling to me.

 

I have to say that i really enjoy the game and have fun playing it. That being said there are game breaking bugs that need to be fixed. Mainly the disconnection issues and the game crashes.

The millions of sales doesn't make the game a success. It just means that the concept that you are advertising the game is appeals to people.

I really hope you guy arent going to "part time" with this game....... After making millions of sales and not even finishing the game is just sad. NO ONE WILL BUY ANY OTHER GAME FROM YOU IF YOU MESS THIS UP

 

That's how you judge a game? Whether or not you can find A SERVER to play on? Great criteria there.

Never give up guys.

 

I was addressing the fact that the thread is saying the game is Dead.

 

try being less absolutely literal. 62 people online at a time for a game is 'dead.' Jesus Christ.

 

I see more than that online at 1 am.

If you are so against the game why are you on the forums??

 

How would you construe me being against the game? I have been discussing how to try and make this game work plenty on the forums. I like this game a lot and would like to see it doing better, which is why I make suggestions and try to keep conversations going about how to make the game better.
