I don't think they have to change things - especially not to make it like an MMORPG.
There is potential for them to gain more players as they add new modes, like Castle Siege and Horde.
Suggestions that I've made that kinda makes it more like an MMORPG as a byproduct is to add armor and weapons crafting stations (when they are ready) to the original BR map so that there is something for us to do while we hide in buildings, but the smaller map makes that unnecessary.
Sorry i'm not sure what you mean?
Oh you were talking about the BR I was confused for a moment So you are Alice then?
Decided to have a look at it just now, and really glad I did! This is exactly my thoughts as well.
I chose not to, but am glad that there are people that do enjoy it so as to assist Intrepid in what ever they are gaining from it.
However, this thread has been a good read. Please keep it going.
How about: No?
Intrepid would have to change large amounts of code to implement that, which would mean, that they would have to redirect the needed workforce from the actual mmorpg. They would end up having two mmorpgs and peope would be even more confused.
And in regards to them noticing this: LoL you are really believing that they are reading all threads? I took the Dpsmeter thread to get arou d 5 pages of comments until we had a response xD
I repeat: The coding is not just moving the queue screen into a consistent lobby. It is way more than that...
Everyone who has really worked with code could tell you that...
The delay would not "perfect" the mmorpg. It would increase their workload to finish a superfiscious addon to the main game. The apoc addon was important for them for a few reasons: gameplay, server stability, backend and frontend compatibility, patcher upgrades and fluent server-client communication.
They should not explain apoc INSIDEthegame, but rather before theconsumer downloads it: write a big fat "PRE-ALPHA TEST" in the name or something...
so first you threaten me and now you call me a troll? are there any other insults you want to use?
1. What i meant with the was, was they need to create apoc, not its use or function in the current time.
2. Nagash has a right to state his opinion, we do not live in china.
So I presume that minority of the AoC community wants anything more for Apoc regardless of the reasons behind this.
*crickets*
“Why is nobody supporting me?”
“Why did you post it here which is the forum for the MMO?”
“There’s nobody in the APOC forum.”
That about sum it up?
I'm going to be honest, mate. Take a look at your responses and ask yourself if you'd want to put up with someone whose acted in the manner in which you've oriented yourself, because I sure as hell wouldn't. Going off on the developer team for not replying to a thread in a busy forum after a day, implying they don't care? Nah, I wouldn't go near this with a ten foot pole. No matter what their response is they'd only get bad PR from it.
I'm going to tell you this directly - you do not understand how much work you're proposing for them to undertake. The effort it would take to rip out the existing lobby and shove it into the BR's pre-game lobby isn't just some simple cut and paste, it'd be a complete re-work of existing code to something that barely resembles what it currently does for a mode that's universally recognized as dying out, for reasons that you've failed to understand. Even people who LOVE the BR (I myself enjoy it quite a bit) could have told you it has a limited shelf life. Because of how long it was in testing, many of the people who would be playing it NOW unlocked all their cosmetics back in January. Then they played for a while here and... well, there's nothing to keep them here, is there? They're already REALLY good at it, so they've got no real room to improve, no reason to practice. No leaderboards yet, so nothing to strive for (unless they REALLY want that Pumpkin Spice armor). Intrepid can't make more levels with new cosmetics, as that would throw off the flow and progression of later episodes. They already did WAY MORE than I could have hoped with the new map, and even that failed to keep things busy because the 25 player lobbies (perfect for that map size) dropped down to 10.
The BR is dead. Anything that could be done to fix it (brand new suite of weapons, new cosmetics) would only serve to alienate a major part of the audience further and piss people off. Wait for Castle Siege.
Edit - This is pointed directly at OP, no one else.
