I'd love to support the devs

Discussion

Here goes:

  1. Lower your price.
  2. Be as active with the other standard social platforms as you are with the discord crowd.
  3. "We're currently working on a completely stable build with all the features we want to have in (like voip) and after that will start rolling out more PR" -- Tomble In game VOIP in 2018 seriously has enough story points to be a blocker for PR? Maaaaaaaaaaan I'd like to see what other features you have in the backlog that are PR blockers. Tell your product owner to PM me please.
  4. Your sponsored streamers should be grinding the game daily and not agreeing with the chat about it being dead. That should be grounds for an immediate sponsorship dismissal.
  5. Focus on the competitive strengths of this game and market it as such. There isn't a proper competitive BR game! That's what COULD set this game apart from the rest of the BR market.

Edit: Every downvote = "I agree with him but he isn't positive and I have nothing to say soooo *downvote*"

You believe voip is a “pr” aka marketing blocker then?

Multiple game breaking bugs are pr blockers. Voip was the game's promise that was delievered for 2 hours (Or was not even because I could not even hear anyone back then anyway).

Not to even say that Voip is a MUST for team-based play. This game doesn't even have MARKERS that you could put on map, which means unless you get into voice chat any other way (like friends, discord etc.), you're screwed from the start. I assure you that's the reason many people don't play random duos/squads and they otherwise would.

I mean, it looks like they are lying to your face on the steam store page :

In terms of features, our Early Access version offers player matchmaking lobbies, server side eSports tournament settings, a competitive ranking system, in-game squads & proximity VoiP, a robust Anti-Cheat, private servers, player stats, and global/friends-only leaderboards.

I can see game breaking bugs being a pr blocker especially if they don't want to be the butt of constant jokes like Daybreak or PUBG Corp.

I must have overlooked the server side esports tournament settings. Was the intention with that to have public tournaments?

Could mean that for now, a selected group of people/organizations could have access to custom servers where these esport settings can be enforced. This includes opportunities for scrims and tournaments organized by players. But for now devs are unsure who they want to give custom server access to.

I would say that not having functionality that other games in genre have is a PR blocker. Especially that many streamers play with their viewers/randoms for fun and it's much easier for them to use in game VoIP. For some it could even be a requirement before they spend money on the game.

Yes, because the VoIP system was causing fps loss and low fps drives people away from the game. Stop acting like you know everything.

You'd rather stay misinformed than know the truth and that's said because some unfortunate soul may listen to you.

While I agree. I think the are working very hard on plans that are already set in place.

There are timelines and deadlines for things to be done. Money here money there.

Let it happen. It’s only been 2-3 weeks.

Btw I enjoy the game a ton and play the few hours I can a day.

Every Downvote = Another one of these with the same exact requests?

2
IPv666OP•

There is only one request. The rest are statements. Whatever man the devs got this shit under control right? No problems.

DopestSoldier•

Being a statement doesn't stop it from being a request also.

The main point here is you've only parroted other posts.

Dude, you don't know what's going on within the company. Suggestions are cool but dont act like they should be listening to you because you know better. Are you a game dev? Are you there boss? Nah.

Dude, you don't know what's going on within the company.

Neither do you. That doesn't stop me from being perceptive on the outside just like it doesn't stop you. The difference being our subjective interpretations.

Are you a game dev?

No but I am a software developer and I play video games. Am I creative enough to be a product owner from start to finish... probably not but I can still critique decisions like voip being a blocker for "pr" with confidence.

Neither do you.

The difference is I dont make condescending remarks towards the devs, as if I know the whole story.

  1. dont know if theyll do
  2. get on the discord and talk to brix, pink etc about it
  3. voip used to work in alpha waves, also its other things that they want to fix etc.
  4. theres no custom servers and the skins for them yet so i think once that stuff is working and in place they will start doing that.
  5. they are already

I agree. I’m playing right now... After 3-5 minutes in the pregame lobby the server force starts with 30-40 players. People believe this game will pick up a fan base soon but this is August, IoN is literally the only “new” game out right now, and only 800 players WORLDWIDE are playing it. In another month when the AAA games start to release this game will be forgotten. I don’t like it bc I love his game but it’s honestly dead in the water.

Dude you spend so much time bitching. Stop buying Alpha games, they are meant to be tested. Early Access isn't a game genre, its a warning that the game isn't ready for release and shouldn't be bought unless you expect many issues.

You put in your 2 hours, even at minimum wage you got your money back in bitching. Move on to a new game for a while until this one gets past Early Access
