Ydubbs81 RND Ahrendee Mercenaries Legacy Rising 886	Posted - 2012.10.21 19:59:00 - [1] - Quote I know a lot of people, myself included, that hated this game initially but has grown a liking to it now. Even with all of its beta issues, we still enjoy the game. And there is much more to come...so what do you guys think? Will the playerbase be massive, moderate, or only "cult-numbers"??
Wicked Glory Doomheim 171	Posted - 2012.10.21 20:01:00 - [2] - Quote After November 12th no one will be playing this game. True story.

SoTa PoP Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 1772	Posted - 2012.10.21 20:06:00 - [5] - Quote It'll all depend on how interactive this game feels. If it's just 'find a match and play' I can get that anywhere. If it's "Find a corporation and conquer the galaxy, build defenses from sandbox maps, and handle diplomacy/politics/tactics" then you'll find that many many will stick around. For me, it'll be about how they handle commanders and the RTS aspect of the game. If commands is nothing more then dropping turrets and giving small orders of objectives then running out onto the field himself, then I may as well of just stuck with MAG. But i guess this being Free almost guarantees that it'll have some success.

Ten-Sidhe Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 414	Posted - 2012.10.21 20:17:00 - [9] - Quote People are still here after black ops 1 came out, they will be here after black ops 2 comes out. I will just figure thre will be a dip in player counts whenever a big shooter comes out. like there was for Boarderlands 2. I am sure Dust will be around to see a dip in player player count when black ops 5 comes out. There will be a lot of people that play dust, move to next game for mouth or two then return to dust. I figure it will start at cult levels of players and build overtime, opposite of most shooters that are big at release and go down. it will probably not be as big as most AAA console shooters and take years to grow, few years after launch 1/4 to 1/2 million would be good sized if count is rising and spending aur. if it launches with the same size player base as beta at peak it should be fine, about 40,000.

Lonewolf514 79	Posted - 2012.10.21 20:21:00 - [11] - Quote low. not getting what we were promised - a hardcore teambased shooter. they seem to think a lot of their next build. lets wait and see. ps maps were meant to be dynamic too not the boring things weve seen the last few builds.

Thats the problem with this game, it requires far too much dedication.

Cause beta sux. I haven't seen anything I'm looking forward to yet :( Everything ive heard/liked/wanted is all still on PAPER Thats not changing anytime soon. Infact someone tell me one instance where CCP changed the gameplay for the better from feedback?
Ydubbs81 RND Ahrendee Mercenaries Legacy Rising 886	Posted - 2012.10.21 20:47:00 - [14] - Quote I haven't seen much advertising on it or promotions either. Other shooters haven't heard of it yet. But if they hand it free with a ps3 purchase, that may help

Possibly major if they release it at the right time (few months into next year in my opinion).... theres definately a massive appetite for this kind of game,,, trouble is there'll be a lot of players in the market soon

They have several members from DICE. Atleast that is what I remember reading. So they do have outside help.

Tyrus Four 128	Posted - 2012.10.21 22:34:00 - [23] - Quote I predict that not a single solitary soul will play this game on release unless they raise the strafespeed until we are all running as fast as the Flash while holding down R1 and screaming "YOU CAIN'T AIM SCRUB!"

Burning crusade released and zangramarsh was full. Lets hope they know where they are heading now and the peices of the jigsaw are falling into place.
