I don’t know why people insist on telling others what they can play… anyway.
The population count is not a good sign, I agree, along with the fact that AGS do need to improve and fix a lot of things but so do the players, post like these are not particularly helpful.
Say what you will but I’m on the “wait and see” side and if the game does “die out”, I’d know I got my money’s worth. If you disagree with this mindset, that’s entirely your right to do so.
Next priority is making hwm only drop from expeditions, and trophies upgrades will only be found in parts of the map that are not yet unlocked, + 500% gathering xp, all tradeskills will be reset with a new level cap of 6900. Great axe range will be 100m. Etc.
It’s not dead, but it’s bleeding arterial blood, and lets face it… Do you trust AGS to fix it? What’s their track record with fixing things? They’re like a neurosurgeon with chainsaws for hands.
It’s called the sunk cost fallacy. I’m 600 hours into a game that I can’t even really play anymore, yet I still log in occasionally to kind of wander around aimlessly and put things on the market. I say I’m sticking around to sell everything and give my gold away, but really I think I’m just having a hard time swallowing this pill, that I just grinded 600 hours with no payoff.
As for the steam top games, I can’t help but notice almost every game in that list is 5-10 years old or more. I don’t think it’s that meaningful for a brand new game that had so much hype to make that list when it’s a couple months old. The honeymoon phase is ending, the numbers show it, we’ll see how they look next week.
138,000 people… That is actually a lot of people. Thanks for letting me know cause I was thinking the end was coming, but this is more people than in my tri-county area.
I’m no fanboi, but these posts are getting too spammy.
The most hilarious thing is people like the OP make these edgelord posts, about the game being crap, dead, etc., but stay here, keep playing, and post on the forums.
We get it, you don’t like the game, and want it to fail.
Put your money where your mouth is…
STFU and GTFO
That site measures how many people are talking about the game on reddit and other social media sites and not how many people play the game. All those posts running up the numbers could easily be greatest game ever or screw this I quit posts.
