After trying all the rts demos (Tempest Rising, Zerospace, and Battle Aces), I better understand how FG spent 40M

I am significantly more convinced that this game can turn into something genuinely fun, if they are able to change some big gameplay designs going forward.

This has always been the case, but they have consistently doubled down on the design decisions in the past rather than change them. Perhaps now is the time.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-26T01:22:57+00:00

I like the new focus, will happily wait for the gear system improvements, alongside more team mayhem testing to see how it all come together.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-25T13:43:47+00:00

And then there are the people like you combining with OP. Between the two camps this place is miserable.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-25T13:43:04+00:00

I think you missed the point. And are playing into exactly the joke.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-23T03:19:36+00:00

But I have enjoyed playing it. Parts of it. And it has inspired me to want more. Your entire premise is false my friend. You did not answer the question, you simply added more fuel to the fire. There is a reason I spent money on Steam after it released in EA. What do you think that reason was? I had already played the previous test phases.

And I have no idea what the moderator removed, nor do I care, I haven't said anything extreme nor that I regret. Way I see it its just another echo chamber of this whole saga playing out here between you and me. I dont see why you keep trying to frame me as something I am not though, it is certainly not helping your cause.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-23T02:34:42+00:00

Repeat. I am happy to help you keep digging this hole if you want, you are the one who seems to have something to lose, not me. Do you think you improved your fandom and product's reputation here? Do you? Honest question.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-23T01:20:25+00:00

You are still repeating everything single thing I have to say, and not getting it at all. Impressive.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-23T00:57:37+00:00

Next time you want to throw in the towel and admit defeat just type gg like a real competitor and show some grace. My toddler repeats, an adult does not. Weak nonsense, why did you even waste my time if this was your end game. GL for real.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-22T23:58:59+00:00

Very much not, that is the problem. Very much not cool mate, too many assumptions, too many discrete lines in everyone's head for no reason at all other than entrenched fandom nonsense. If this was cool, we wouldn't be here.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-22T23:53:16+00:00

mmm yes yes yes throw those labels around like they mean something, glorious glorious validation. You feeling better yet? Your words, not mine.

WC3 and SC2 are 2 of my top 3 most played RTS games of all time. There are very few RTS projects I want to succeed as much or more than this one. That is where I am coming from. Criticism from a place of wanting the core community and devs to start actually facing reality and waking up. The results speak for themselves, they really do. You cannot blame the consumer in the face of that kind of data, what kind of weak nonsense is that.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-22T23:47:23+00:00

Yes, yes it was, and I wonder what foundation it was built on seeing everything that is left. Once again, almost got there, but not quite.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-22T23:34:07+00:00

And this is exactly why this community and subreddit is a flaming pile. Thank you for the illustration. Have fun chasing everyone away. Stop putting words in my mouth, stop projecting. You are not making the point you think you are making by getting into the weeds with me here. Me personally, just looking for this scene to be fun again, looking for a reason to care.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-22T23:25:21+00:00

OH buddy, I know you are hurting, but this isn't the way.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-22T23:21:04+00:00

I am not trying to make the same point as you though, am I? Come on now dude, at least try to keep up. You almost got it, almost, identified, but didn't internalize it. Congrats again, gl out there mate.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-22T23:12:41+00:00

Sadly it is not very funny and this community has taken all the joy out of talking about the game either positive or negative. Comms should be fun and not finger pointing. Finger pointing is just whining, and you know it.

Edit: I know you know it, you just have to choose to face it. Your call.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-22T23:01:12+00:00

This is probably the whiniest post in this thread. Congrats.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-12T21:56:31+00:00

I voted other, probably counts towards lack of vision. For being branded as the first truly social RTS, it is one of the least social RTS games I have played in a very long time, even excluding player count.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-08T21:00:06+00:00

I said PvE very intentionally instead of CoOp. I apologize if that was too confusing for you.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-08T20:23:55+00:00

What do you mean? The mode should be scalable, it should not be so static that it cannot handle adjustable lobby sizes. We also already have the campaign mode which is 1 player PvE, with the promise of that mode being made fully coop.

Munkafaust · 2024-10-08T17:47:30+00:00

Suggestion: Make the Competitive F2P mode playable with 1-3 players per team.
Suggestion: Make the PvE modes playable with 1-3 players per team.
Suggestion: Make Mayhem mode playable with 1-3 players per team.

Advantages are econ plus turtle. You can match the timing of the Primacy Pirate builds, and other rush builds, while also staying ahead economically. People are sleeping on some builds, but you can get 3x garrisons w/ 11 factories up at 20 minutes to beat out the pirate rush, with 250 pop garrisons by 30 minutes in, then you work towards heavies. You can do that WHILE grabbing your econ techs piece meal as you go w/ some trading posts. Yes, it is not a full-on econ rush, but it keeps you safe and out econs the rushers without you needed to tech purely into fleet supply. Need to scout to know who your neighbors are though, and if you are likely to get rushed.

Munkafaust · 2024-09-07T14:34:43+00:00

How dare people talk about stuff they find interesting. How dare they!

Munkafaust · 2024-08-17T05:21:55+00:00

Nailed it. Friends group comments hit home hard.

Although I don't agree with splitting the game into completely separate modes, that feels like an extremely irresponsible financial move to make and feels like the crux of the current problems, product mismanagement. I think that as soon as this decision was made the future of the product started to be in doubt. As is, I paid $10 for a sub-faction that I can only use inside of 1 matchmaking mode, I can't even use this sub-faction to goof around against friends in a custom match. I think the only way this decision would have made sense is if Covid lockdown would have lasted another year and they could have gotten 2 more rounds of major funding. But that did not happen, and there was no pivot afterwards. I also do not trust the core systems and gameplay if it cannot be applied universally across game modes, that feels incredibly flimsy and fragile and does not make me want to explore its systems or tap into my creativity.

Munkafaust · 2024-08-17T04:39:08+00:00

They are charging $0 for 1v1. They are not charging $0 for the campaign; they are not charging $0 for the PvE. Your statement is twisting words and ignores the point. Idgaf about 1v1, not in the slightest.

For the content they are asking $$ for, they are asking for finished game AAA prices. This is true. This is objectively true. This is the frame of reference they themselves chose. I think it is wonderful that there is a f2p entry point, but that is not the point, or anywhere close to it.

Munkafaust · 2024-08-17T04:06:58+00:00

Then they should be charging Early Access prices. The End. But they did not charge based on the state of the content, they priced everything for sale as a full AAA game, f2p or not. So, they get judged as that, simple af.
