Lack of interest

Is it just me or is anyone else feeling a lack of interest in the game? I first found out about AOC back in mid 2017 and i've been really hyped for it all the way til the start of this year. Yeah they had server issues and such and the testing was shut down but i was still hyped for the game.

I don't really know what im trying to say here but i feel as though there's been a lack of content coming from intrepid even though we are seeing updates in the news section every month. Anyone else feel the same?

A problem is, people hype up new mmo's to something they just can't live up to. Plus as others have said, people keep talking about the next "wow-killer", which might also be something it can't live up to. But ActivisionBlizzard is apparently doing a fine job on their own with "wow-killing"

Plus new mmo's just don't have everything wow has, which of course they can't. Wow has been there for so many year. So people don't stick around with the new mmo, long enough for the game to get more of what wow has/had

New MMORPGs have too much of what WoW has - without the lore/nostalgia investment.

WoWs lore is just copy and pasted to start with

I think the hype was always going drop with such a long time to go until launch. There's still so much we don't know, hence little need to get hyped. If I was to make a sweeping generalisation I'd also state that the MMO crowd are the most fickle crowd in gaming, so there's no need for concern at this point.

I wouldn't say that I'm lacking interest in the game... It's just that I can't play it, so it's more of an, "out of sight, out of mind" kinda thing. Once we get to start breaking shit during castle siege APOC, I'll begin to get hyped again.... I really, really want to get into the meat and potatoes of class development.... That's when I'll start getting SUPER psyched, but till then... /shrug

Honestly my interest in the game is at 0% until I see an actual MMORPG. So far I tested a crappy BR game, and I haven’t really seen anything new in more than a year. I assume things are going on behind the scenes and I haven’t lost “faith” in this game, but interest? There’s nothing to be interested in right now.

Didnt you see the wave animations in the last lifestream? They were really cool! (Tbh i really like the wave animations more then new mounts or animals that they had shown us)

I think people like Atama are more interested in seeing those animations, etc in action with actual gameplay, which is fair I guess. It's hard to get a sense of what the game will be like until you see gameplay footage.

I didn't actually realise this until I looked it up, but it's been 10 months since we last saw any gameplay footage which is quite a long time for a lot of people. Now I know that this is partly because Intrepid have been focusing on their netcode and underlying systems that will make the gameplay smooth and responsive online, which is very important when the game launches. The problem is that these aren't really things that you can easily show off to the public in a video.

So yeah, I can understand why people are starting to doubt a little and lose interest, but at the same time I don't think there is much Intrepid can do about that.

7 months since the last time we saw MMORPG gameplay. Right.

I still check in on AoC occasionally but I'm not thirsting for it like I was back during the KS. That may change the closer we get to release.

I am sad that the apparent shift of focus on pvp seems to be driving a lot of my friends away. The hype was once real for them but they're moving on to Pantheon now.

As a pre 10-10-10 backer of SC. . This ain't nothin... have patience.

Before the letter today I thought there may have been a glimmer of hope for alpha 1 sometime this year but now can't help but feel that glimmer has been snuffed out.

Can't help but feel mislead by we are ahead of schedule remarks from earlier this year sadly. Just feel a little deflated by it all but that's ok have other stuff to do.

I just started looking at the game after the whole Apoc issues . I think its easier to just "wait and see" point of view. The games development wont speed up if you complain , sure you can give feedback.
