Is there a bug on the player count thing? Almost 5K? Wow, thought this game was doing better on launch day. Seriously it's player count is less than DCUO's.
I wonder why...
- Lack of Developer Communication?
- Lack on non-broken gameplay?
-Making the game feel like a job?
-Lack of balance for a VERY long time?
-Lack of a good training mode?
Any of these, anyone have any other reasons?
(And please, don't come out with the "It's Monday" excuse, all American schools hit summer break last week, so if nothing else, I would expect 6k minors playing a GOOD game, If this were one.) |

That doesn't surprise me. They have to feel like they didn't waste their money I guess. Except they did. They'll have the super special gear, in a game with like 10 players. |

Really? Do you think so? I thought people would forget about the game, see it again, try it again, then vomit and quit in disgust. |

Idiot. A huge MINORITY of the games populations actually inhabited the forums, most people didn't even go to it, and if the game was truly worth playing in their eyes the forums wouldn't have mean **** to them. They would've played anyway. Try again. |

My numbers aren't accurate but in the ps3 market don't expect the player count numbers to rise unless word spreads that the game is amazing but I've never seen that in any game. If the game doesn't work people quit and don't come back.
I agree. And this game doesn't work, so of course people left. I'm really just burning time until League downloads. |

Vacations for us adults plus the fact our dang kids are home not giving us any privacy and kids having camp and summer school all add into this fact.
Plus it is a Monday in the middle of the day...it will pick up tonight some.
But yes the game needs some vast improvements. This. We're having on average one thread a day that misinterprets stats to confirm the preconceived notions of the OP. People forget or willfully ignore that numbers are useless without proper context and try to make them show whatever it is they believe to be true.
Or...The game is bad. |

You're an idiot fanboi too then. |

"Carried by SP" I'm glad to see people admit it. |

Can you blame them? |

The low numbers can be attributed one reason; that the SP/leveling system allows carried old players to stomp on new players.
No one wants to play a game like that so they try it out and they leave.[/quote]
Funny how me trying different gameplay with multipple alts don't have THAT much issues with playing against high SP players. Is it because some players are too comforted into handholding?
Personally I find playing against seasoned vets fun.[/quote]
What you play 5 or 10 matches a week on your 2 million SP alt?
oooooh.
Well if we are going to delve into anecdotal evidence lets talk about all the contacts i made in the fist month of play who do not play now...and how they all complained that they were sick of getting face stomped. Or lets look at all the players who have joined my corp (we have a pretty open recruitment policy) in the past month who all seem to leave and all express frustration of getting face stomped. I also know i only have spent only 2.3 million SP on my main and 1 million SP on my alt and i cap on both each week (about 80 matches) and i know the biggest frustration i have is when i know i beat someone (i hit them first i hit them more, cause more damage and take less damage) yet i loose the duel because they are being carried and i am not.[/quote]
/me thinks all of your recent "save the noobie" postings are just selfish wants to make the game easier for yourself.
I came back at uprising launch with barely any SP, am outclassed by a lot, but have found a way to adapt and thoroughly enjoy blowing up others proto suits. It's not impossible or hard if they are bad players. However, there are people that have been playing for 6 months and their skill level + sp makes them very hard to overtake... that's life though... this game isnt for everyone the sooner people start to accept that and move on the quicker the forums become less crowded.
This game will cater to people that want meaningful experiences, choices that have consequences, and not to the people that want to be the omg i should has won that duel but he is (insert e-peen saving excuse)....
I'm sure you've heard this a few times, HTFU. Dust/EVE arent for the faint of heart. It's ok if it's not for you, Dust will never have the same numbers as CoD/Bf4, but it will establish its niche and have very strong loyalists. The game will do fine.[/quote]
^Thanks oh-so-valiant gamer that will help to fund/keep this game around. Life's tough? Get some tissues. A game that blows off it's clientele won't survive long enough for you to 'enjoy' it. I'd like to see you single-handedly pay for this game to last more than 6 months down the road. So much for the seven year plan they mapped out.... Tsk tsk.[/quote]
Honestly, this. This game isn't good by any stretch. My skill has nothing to do with it, I can pull the trigger as much as I want and the fully fitted proto suit won't go down. No one wants to stick around for that. People will just leave. If you honestly think it will keep a niche well...I guess the same 12 people, playing the same boring game modes, with the same broken gameplay, and the same disappointing PC is considered niche.
