We might seriously have 300 players on peak Sunday by the time this patch comes out.
Impressive.
Impressive.
Yeah based on trends around 300 on prime time Sunday sounds about right.
Hey Eugen just as a reminder, something might be balanced but balance isn't the same thing as fun (or at least tolerable) for players on the receiving end as well as the giving. Keep that in mind when producing this patch.
I hope they go with The Necromancers for the name and at least sideways acknowledge community concerns.

Its laughable and such a shame at the same time local-festival. Seems to be the way people behave these days. I wonder how many of the people commenting in this thread work in a development studio, and just spent years working on a product. And then plan patches and new content, and interact with their community on their forums.....
Give me a show of hands boys. I say boys because grown men wouldn't act like children on the internet would they?
The playerbase is currently small yes. Were you expecting a realistic WW2 military rts to have thousands of players right out of the gate? If you have something of value to add, something that would help Eugen bring in more players, then write that down.
The self entitlement is really amazing here. Whining about non-issues in a game representing one of the biggest causes of suffering in our time, that your grandparents/great grandparents fought through so you could have your nice comfy life where you go online and do your best to let the world know just how much it upsets you that the game is not slightly different.
I'm sure they would be proud of you. Thank you for making a difference in this world.

Yes.
And it did.
Oh and, I don't work in a development studio. I work as a sales engineer for a company that makes RF products. I spend a lot of time interacting with customers and my sales team and when things are falling off a cliff, we take hours to rectify the problem, not weeks. And that might be for just one customer who has a small account with us.
I think for me, the community killed my desire to play the game.
I still play sp from time to time but I don't do multiplayer anymore.
And what I'm trying to say is that I don't really think its much of devs game design as much as the general shittiness of the players that you team up with or encounter.

Well i am happy you can solve your customers problems in a few hours rather than a few weeks. It would be lovely if every problem in the world was that easy to solve.
If you think its so simple for Eugen to fix things then there would be thousands of military rts games springing up right now and all of them would be perfectly balanced and have full and active player bases.
You have to be realistic. It takes longer than a few hours to work on a patch. Thats not including whiteboarding and testing etc.
Out of interest what exactly is it that you want them to do? how would you bring the players in/keep them?
Hidden gunman i did actually mean thematic yes. But i think realistic still works. Its more realistic than arcade. Also not a guy
but dont tell anyone i feel like an outsider here already
Yeah, it is amazing what prioritization and direction from higher-ups can do to maximize assets.
No, market saturation wouldn't allow that. The cream would still have to rise to the top. Eugen fugged up because they had a chance to really be the only new, modern and fresh take on WW2 RTS.
Eugen launched the game with poor matchmaking and a scatter brained solution to it. Probably should've rolled out forced 1v1 through 4v4 matchmaking as the default and only way to play multiplayer, then launched 10v10s. 10v10s are actually new to the series. They came in Airland Battle well after the game had been out. I wouldn't have even had ranked as an option until they sorted everything. Afterall, since they didn't sort it, ranked got gamed by a handful of people.
The biggest issue is stability, which a lot of people have suffered from and are suffering from.
This doesn't touch on the fact that the closed and open beta didn't even have access to all of the decks and the most popular/cancerous decks were from that lot that wasn't tested.
There isn't anything they can do now. The ship sailed. I just hope they learn from this mistake.
They've got some odd policies in place that just don't make sense to me, like they won't discontinue things like clearly broken units or game modes that don't really work with the overall vision.
Personally, I'll play SD a bit more. Hit level 10 soon for my achievement which would give me all of them sans hitting level 20 and then I'll hang it up until they give us major DLC. DLC that hopefully comes in the form of a new theater and I just want them to learn from all the screwups and not repeat them.
Its a real shame.
Oh and saying so doesn't honestly mean anything. This game will be dead before the end of summer. Not like meme dead, I'm talking like sub 100 players on a weekend.
I can say that because that's what the trend is and I'll certainly change my tune if those numbers stabilize or reverse, but for now, I'm right in saying this game is totally screwed before the weather changes.
Edit: I think my biggest gripe is that they've been slow to implement or at least only half-assed things. Like the expansion of match-making was hyped in some videos and it went from a Ranked clone to just a bigger ranked clone. Like why even bother? Don't tell me I'll be able to select all of these options eventually and search for them and "they're coming soon" and then just roll out like one tiny change and then go silent.
They sold us a complete game or at least it was priced that way, when it should've been labeled as early-access and then they told us a bunch of new stuff was coming, but it has been painfully slow to release.... if it ever does.
Regardless, I just hope they take the money they got from this and roll it into a properly working and full-feature expansion.
What... it's a video game, not the actual war, I don't think complaining about balance issues in a WW2 themed game is stepping on anyone's toes, and I don't think offering criticisms for a game I PAID for is self entitlement.
I know its just a game guys. Thats my point. Instead of acting like Eugen have inflicted a horrible piece of software on the world just accept that its maybe not the game for you and move on.
I am really enjoying it and im a bit annoyed that i nearly missed out because of the overly negative and unconstructive comments from a few individuals. And as i said in another thread a friend has decided not to get get it because he read something along the line of "terrible balance" and "dead"
My point is repeating these things over and over doesnt help. And creates a barrier for many people thinking of coming in.
Im not saying the game is perfect. nothing ever is. and i wasnt here at launch and im sure things could have been better. But just take a step away for a bit. Like I Wub Pugs said maybe come back after a break and see if you like the changes.
Just stop chanting the game is dead so i can have a chance at getting some friends in.
I understand you might be dissapointed or frustrated. But its over. The game is the way it is. I love it. And going by many reviews so do a lot of other people.
Be nice is what im trying to say. There are enough toxic communities we dont need another one.
