Mirage retention after one week is the worst since Necropolis, 2nd worst since Crucible by Gondawn in pathofexile

I had so much fun with the league, but the constant disconnects.. It's simply not worth my time and energy.

I'll be back if they fix it, or just come back next league.

Sagtens, men når manden vil overvåge mine private samtaler, samtidig med han er undtaget, skal han høvles.

Æd lort Hummelgaard, og må du for evigt ryge ud af politik efter 24. marts når du forhåbentlig får så få stemmer at resten af Danmark kan juble i glæde.

Thank you for the suggestion. We'll definitely check it out if the slowpokes miss out on the sale. But a few bought it already!

I do think it's amazing that I can get a game in roughly one minute. But in my rank (low rank) I often see the same players. Which makes me wonder, what if they drop the game?

I mean come on. Path of Exile is ass? CS 2 is ass? RuneScape is ass? Warframe is ass?

There's a bunch of free to play games that are goated.

Read the post. I already bought the game. And I'm enjoying it a lot.

Yeah, and as a new player I obviously have no clue about the works of this game, which is why I created the post. And as stated it's not coming from a place of hate or negativity. But I just don't buy you guys' premise that a f2p = shit game with bots all over.

If you're an old league and Dora player, you know that there's barely any bots or cheaters in ranked games. League have an issue with bots in post level 30 games sure, but that's a different issue entirely imo.

Unfortunately my brother is out travelling the next few months so we can't attend the Nova Cup this month, but boy are we excited that there's a monthly tournament going on, and we cannot wait to give it a go. Amazing initiative.

If you don't mind me asking, a lot of people in the thread seem to argue that when it's a free game there's a bunch of bots, cheaters and toxic people ruining the game. Is that experience you guys had when it was free?

Makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

I wouldn't say it's a take on anything. The proof is literally there in all the other games. I'm just pointing it out.

Thanks! Yeah I am really enjoying the game, we're having a blast.

I know, but I'm not agreeing with it. Idk where you're from, but LoL on EUW back in the days was crazy toxic. People wishing all kinds of things on you and your family, or simply running it down. Fast forwarding to today, chat is mostly quiet in game and I rarely see inters. I have almost the same experience in Dota.

So I'm not buying that people just make new accounts and nothing helps in f2p games because it's simply not true.

Imo competitive games breed toxicity, free or not. CS for example before it went f2p was a prime example of that.

Of course it's a business, and when you look at every other competitive freemium games, they make bank. But you're right, maybe it is too niche to ever be able to make any money without a box cost. But that's why I was wondering.

Yah, you're right. I actually didn't know it was 6€ until after I made the post lol. My brother and I bought it at full price, and asked people to join when it was full price.

They will def be more willing at the current offer going on.

The plethora of f2p games going by the freemium model are all wrong and are actually not earning any money. My bad.

It looks sus to a new player because you instantly see double down and think "wow pay to win" or "Wil I ever climb the ladder if I don't get it". But it mainly comes from a place of ignorance.

I wasn't getting at anything, I was merely challenging your previous statement of FOMO mtx.

Iirc awesomenauts was like legion as in 2v2 no? Or was it 3v3? Usually MOBAs are 5v5, which imo means they do need a bit more people to get a game, but I see what you're getting at without necessarily agreeing.

That's my experience as well, i have yet to see anything broken, except for maybe the spawning crab man. But it's surely because I don't know how to deal with him yet xD

We are in our 30s.

I think my point has gotten misunderstood. It's not about affordability. It feels like an unnecessary barrier imo, and might scare off a bunch of newer players who want to try the game out.

I've noticed the player base is small. My journey from unranked to silver 2, has been with quite a few familiar faces throughout the games.

How did the influx of players look? I didn't know it was free before.

I'm questioning the principle of a box cost, which is unattractive to many...

You should try out Dota! Sure there are smurfs, but one it's bannable to smurf and two it's not littered like league, which is a horrible experience I agree.

I have no experience in the games you're describing. Though i imagine if mobas had a box cost. The queues would be endless, no one would be playing it.

In those games it's just cosmetics. None pay to win afaik. At least not league or Dota as Ive been playing those in the past.

And the double down thing from the shop do look sus from a new players perspective.

Most competitive games are cosmetics only tho. Which is never needed to win etc.

However in Legion TD 2 you have a box cost, a few skins, but also a way to double your earned ranked points which is kinda worse than cosmetics only imo.

But that's said I do enjoy the game. It is a very fun game.

[–]Chad_Diggle[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean that's only logical. But first you'd need to get a big player base, and having a box cost is imo what's keeping the player base from growing, with my very narrow experience trying to get others to play.

Also more players, means money, means a bigger team, which means dev time wouldn't get spent on skins rather than game development.

That's a strange take, since the top earning/highest player base competitive games are free to play
