Dead game is dead...

Reasons this game is dead:

1. Complete and utter lack of publicity. No one I know knows this game exists, and I am friends with a lot of gamers up on the indie scene. This game needs better publicity.

2. Autistic idiots who ruin the game for everyone else. Builders who stay at the base all game building precisely layed out and utterly pointless boxes of doors and stone that will only come into play if the game is over. Builders who don't move up and build forward walls etc. Games that last for an hour+ because the builders just tunnel up in the base and fuck around.

3. Still obnoxious glitches like glitching through doors.

4. Asshole admins who are Fedora wearing power mongers who make mistakes and ban people.

5. Lack of grief protection from your teams builders and teammates who decide the game is over so they keg the flag and call it a game.

6. Achievements would help this new generation of obnoxious gamers as well.

7. Lack of team HUD information. Game needs some sort of customizable team information HUD ie. a list of buildings your team has built on the side so builders know when something needs to be built or has been destroyed. Maybe automated warnings or visible layout of team information ie. how many archers/builders/knights without having to hit TAB and look at that shitty list. Just have an easily customizable HUD where you want it that shows the number of each class on the side so people know.

8. No voice communication. No reason this shouldn't be implemented by now.

9. Complete and utter lack of publicity.

 

Peak average number of players / (Average decrease in average players per month / Number of hours in a day) = Estimated number of days before playerbase reaches 0 at the current rate of decrease

Edit: For further clarification, the part in parenthesis gives the average number of players lost per day, so you're dividing the peak average number of players by the average number of players lost per day

 

Avoiding servers is fine, but it's going to cut down on the community.
Just ad an easy mute button to voice chat by each player name. Simple.

 

There will always be hardcore players playing beta. Always. It's the same as classic having hardcores who can't stop playing it.

 

how do I even know if I've got classic or beta?

 

You can download classic off the main site for free.

 

well I play with kegs, but not from Steam

 

Incidentally, correct me if wrong, but doesn't steam itself support voice chat? I could swear it does. At least with people on your friend's list or in a group or someshit.

 

I can confirm that.

 

Eh, not exactly.

Current average amount of players / ( decrease of average players this month / days this month ) >>
Current average amount of players / average amount of people leaving every day this month
84.3 / ( 11.8 / 25 ) = 178.60

@Geti, past three months have shown an almost linear decline.

 

you sound like someone from classic i wouldnt be surprised if in 4 to 5 years someone tell you to "let it die" and move on like they did to classic players and people in soldat(not devs mainly inconsiderate players)

 

@makmoud98, not like Steam sales would make any difference.
