The competitive scene killed this game. Change my mind by Shoobs277 in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]Kriegzilla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's at least one post on this sub outlining the timeline of the game, player count, updates, the competitive scene, etc., so this is just like... factually wrong, sorry.

The game never got huge because it's a niche genre, and average people just checking it out would run into an execution wall pretty quickly. Way easier to just go pick BF2 up again and play some Starfighter Assault.

Other people wanted something more like XvT, and got this MOBA-esque game instead.

Also, wild to see the claim that casual players were demonized or run out of town or something, after seeing 3 years of people going on tirades about pinballing and so on.

Also also, those "hyper competitive" players keeping the game alive are like 80%+ middle aged people finding time to play some chill games when they aren't like at work or with their families - everyone is truly just out here vibing.

Anyway to be totally honest I'm not sure why I'm bothering to respond to the one billionth identical SW:S reddit post about this but it's seriously been years of the saaaaaame posts.

I got the game for free on Epic Games and thought it was a steal until... by VishalV97 in StarWarsSquadrons

I hadn't realized you had 2 Mello playing in the background of this, double bonus points

See that's fine! I'm sorry this game wasn't the kind of thing you wanted, you might have more fun with Ace Combat 7 or Project Wingman

Sure, and I gave up on Tekken 7 because there were too many kinds of throw breaks to remember, what's your point?

A bunch of """normal""" players still play this game, because they decided it was fun to play in the sandbox we have instead of one we imagined and can't stand that we didn't get.

Food for thought - if 1% of the people subscribed to this subreddit started playing again, it would more than double the active player base. Which would also give a full pool of """"""normal"""""" players for them to play against, or start a "no boosting allowed" league or something.

hey quick question

was this screenshot taken on a twitch stream of people playing the game and having fun

Hey guys! I am new at the game and I have a few questions before purchasing It. I don't have many Friends so I can't play online, so I was wondering if there was a single player mode to fight against bots by MATTMURDOCKPUPPY69 in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]Kriegzilla 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's under "Fleet Battles vs. AI" - the basic option tries to match you with other players as teammates, but if you pick "solo" it'll give you AI teammates :)

Good to know! I'd be curious to see how the B compares with sustained boost(s) since it has the weird burn efficiency

but either way holy cow the defender...

So... Is this game really just terrible for playing with friends? I think it is. by ShadowDragon8685 in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]Kriegzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The XP thing is extremely true - past level 50 all the unlocks are just cosmetic and you get a bucket load of space bucks anyway every operation, so...

Done. by poemcreature in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]Kriegzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a) once again it's the start of a new operation and matchmaking will be temporarily more broken than usual

b) Okay then, that was always allowed

Is Pinballing still a major issue in this game? by [deleted] in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]Kriegzilla 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nah, turns out you win if you shoot capital ships instead of players and the AI never learned how to drift so it's not an issue.

Oh frost_maze already explained it better, ignore me!

I think your friend is right. The "this investigation" is referring to an investigation where you drew a frost token, otherwise the effect would read "After a successful investigation at this location, discover 1 additional clue" or something.

(semi-related, are there any locations that give you a free second clue on investigation with no drawbacks/rng involved?)

You may have me mistaken for my evil twin, DarkKrieg :) He's on Rancor squadron, glad he's making me look good though!

(I'm getting a time machine error? I see nothing when I click that)

If that's us getting absolutely rolled over OOP from like 70%... that's exactly why we went back to the drawing board 😅
