It's what the devs want. They said they don't need high player count at all.
>>
>>731883437
No new shooter will ever be popular again.
The reason is that the skillgap between players is insanely high due to every game in the genre playing almost exactly the same for 30 years.
It's a curse of the multiplayer genre, either you make something unique that people have to learn all over again or you keep playing the same old meta and have every casual player quit on you.

>soon to be fired executives
>he thinks the executives are the ones who are going to be fired
It's never the executives who fuck up the game who get fired, it's always the grunts. The worst consequence any exec might face is being asked to voluntarily resign with an offer of an extremely lucrative severance package and glowing recommendation and after taking a nice lengthy vacation they'll be back to it with another studio or publisher that they'll run into the ground.

I don't think I've ever seen a Steam chart like this. Even games that peak early and drop off get hills and valleys. This just flatlines. This means there's an even number of people playing 24/7, with no specific regional interest. Go look at any other game's chart. None of them look like this.
>>
>>731885668
Highguard is overwatch mixed with apex without any popular IP to back it up. You can only get so far by mixing games in a genre so saturated by samey shit that all plays the same. There is only room for a set amount and that amount is succeeded.

You just don't have an understanding of what matchmaking is. A game having 5000 players right now doesn't mean that you have 4999 players to match with. It means 5000 players have the game open. They are in the menus, in premades, customizing characters, playing with options, split between different game modes. After all of that is done and you've split your matchmaking pool from 4999 to 500, you get to perform the ultimate player count filter - shatter the players into strict matchmaking ranking scores. If you're not sitting right in the center of the bell curve, you better hope the other 20 players that the game has deemed to be the only ones you are allowed to play with aren't in premades and that they are actively queuing.

The world revolves around me. I'm sick of games that have kernel level anticheat, daily/weekly quests, battlepasses, matchmaking, and competitive format's begging to become the next big esport and they have a surprised pikachu face when their game is failing despite dozens of successful big games all having this bullshit. "WTF, WE COPIED THEIR SHITTY PRACTICES, WHY DON'T PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY OUR GAME?" Those earlier games suckered people. You were tricked into it because they were new and novel at the time, but now you fully realize how full of shit it is.

If you want to make a good multiplayer game today, you gotta go back to basics. Make it a game where you just join a server of random players and start shooting people.

Get real, 99% of the playercount is not in a match or sitting in the menu unqueued if it takes 30 minutes to fill the queue.

Basically a new gamemode attempt at capture the flag/attack defend points. You collect resources/spend resources/find weapons+armor/fight in round 1, round 2 you fight to the death 3v3 over the magic sword and bring it to enemy base, and round 3 you attack/defend to place a bomb in a destructible (in the loosest sense of the word) castle. Repeat until one side wins (hard locked at 2 incursions per side).
It's gunplay is... fine but unremarkable. Game is very bare bones requiring teamwork but no local chat. Models are SUPER hard to see with some of the backgrounds, hiding in the grass and sniping people off horses is really hard to counter. There some fun mechanics, equipment, abilities, but the general gameplay has nothing that stands out among other games.
There are 0 notifications on where your castle needs repairs btw, you perma lose armor (which regens like shield...?) on death so you need 5/6 sets every resource round, and the hitmarker sound is indistinguishable from the getting hit sounds. Game should be in alpha imo, they're doing a free battlepass to keep players but idk man.

The wild part is they’ll still spin it as “healthy engagement metrics.” Bro, you’ve got more people in Discord debating tier lists than actually queuing. If the game can’t hit 10k during a promo weekend AND can’t fill lobbies in under 5 minutes, it’s already circling the drain.

To me, the lack of game modes is really what made people stop playing.
I think many people signing on day 1 had no idea that it was a strait up 3v3 game, and immediately after discovering it wasn't more BR slop they uninstalled.

But just having 3v3 raid is a bit inexcusable. It would take very slight tweak to make a 6v6, or a TDM mode that's played only in bases, for example. A CTF mode where you just cap the sword without any sieges? 10v10 King of the hill, since it's a big ass map with multiple interiors?

Again, none of these suggestions would take a ton of work - they could implement them all on existing maps, bare bones. Just include them. Basically, if Raid is not your thing, the game has nothing for you.

Which is a shame because I think the game plays relatively well. Raid is far from perfect, but it's better than a lot of other popular shit people play these days.
>>
>>731905083
They are so deep in the hole now I wouldn't be surprised if the pulled a Japanese mailman and started dive bombing off buildings.
It's so over for these freaks that not even an epic failure cringe kino turn around could save this.
Not even making Hitler and Jackie Chan playable characters could.
I just hope the same thing keeps happening until these animals get out of the gaming business.
>>
>>731890639
The press is in the "despererate excuses of why the game failed, and don't say it's Brocoli boy or Una the tranny", and one of the usual suspects blamed Dr Disrespect, and a right wing conspiracy made from streamers. Some other rags said the same shit.
>>
>>731903983
The real problem, in my opinion, is that there is only a single game mode. And it's an ok mode - not offensively mad by any means. It's actually pretty fun at times, until you get to the siege phase.

I think the guns feel good. The movement is good. The abilities work well and are varied. Everything honestly feels nice until you get into the close-quarters clusterfuck that is the siege.

There's a lot of tweaks that could vastly improve the game, but honestly it's fine. It's definitely not terrible, it's just nothing too special. And if you don't like that 3v3 mode, there's nothing else for you except training, which I think is the real reason they cannot retain players. It's like if CoD shipped with ONLY 4v4 TDM or something on 3 maps.
>>

>>731905083
It's not even made by a AAA studio. The studio that made the game employees around 100 people. I don't know why people act like this is some EA-level failure - it's just a mid-sized company with some experienced developers.

I think the game was designed to fail so higher ups can profit. Why the drop the game at a Monday ensuring it's gonna get fucked hard ?
>>
>>731908552
it's a dice roll, but you can considerably stack chances in your favor by studying the massive volumes of negative feedback telling you exactly why those other titles failed. gamers are bad at telling you what they want, but they are very explicit in telling you what they DON'T want, and yet devs seem to be deaf to negative feedback.

Wouldn't surprise me. The paid shill period must be up, or have been severely reduced since the number of posts about, "what exactly is wrong with the game?" or "idk where the hate is coming from, it's good!" samefag posts went down dramatically. People were also reporting long queue times, meaning that no one is properly queueing for matches and are idling in menus.

I think they were hoping for the asian market to swarm to it like they did apex, even though apex fell off hard in the west, the asians are enough to keep it afloat. But that didn't happen and had an even worse eastern reception than it did in the west, since it's prime asian hours right now and the game is dead as fuck. It's numbers only rise during peak EU hours/early morning US and then fall during US afternoon, before peak US hours.

ALMOST AT 4000 PLAYERS BABY! Another jebslide in the making
>>
I just went back to the division 2 after not playing for 6 years. There are endless new games I could try but I went to this old comfort game and I quickly realized we are going to reach a point where just 90% of games fail because people have their favorites and despite what games company say, single player games will be the ones that stick since every PVP/PVE will eventually be barely different than anything else that is out. Every genre will eventually have a fortnite like game that never ends and just keeps adding shit.
>>
>>731886363
I think those threads were made by journos for excuses in the games failure. Apathy is a true death you can't escape, but if you trick people into thinking it was hate that lead to your failure you live a bit longer. Look at Fable, look at Shak Fu, Bubsy, etc, their is life in being hated and/or mocked.

>a right wing conspiracy made from streamers
I thought the left wingers were majority of people and by this logic Highguard shouldn't have flopped. Perhaps right wingers are more powerful than we thought?
>>
>>731914018
While the game awards aren't for everyone, it's kind of hard to ignore that the 'one last thing' trailer at the end is usually the most conventionally anticipated game that's shown across the evening. High guard both didn't put the best foot forward + is essentially the 'wrong game wrong time' (it's coming in at the time where people who play hero shooters are entrenched in their games, and it isn't a particularly good one to start with). It essentially started life with negative hype
>>
>>731914309
I genuinely wanna know what Geoff's reaction to this is gonna be if the devs end the servers and shutdown their studio.

But, on a more serious note, look at the games surrounding it.
Highguard released last monday and is ftp.

Coming back from this will be almost impossible.
Sucks royally for the devs, but I can't blame them for trying, and apart from the certainly somewhat predatory cash shop, see pic, they're probably not all satan worshipers.
>>
It's been 4 days now and we're at 3k players and dropping. How much longer til devs shutdown the game and the studio?
>>
>>731914317
Is that even a bad thing? Do we really need 300 Call of Duty games that play exactly the same? Or the many such cases where a series or genre just gets worse with each new iteration? Redpilling normies on how great old games are could be the wakeup call for devs to go back to making those types of games.
>>
>>731915376
COD is def at the end where they have to radically change shit. The latest BLOPs was a bomb because people are sick of these endless BLOPs and MW sequels and the next game is another Modern Warfare. It's the perfect storm of fuck ups and they are so creatively devoid that rumors are coming out that they are exploring putting karate in the game yes you heard that right not because hand to hand could be cool but because they want to capture the Cobra Kai demographic

NTA Yeah, battlefield isn't exactly doing exceptional either.

Also, at least someone gets even more fucked when it comes to paying a lot.
>>
>>731914928
>can't blame them for trying
That's the thing, they didn't try at all. They looked at other games, took bits and pieces from them that they liked and mixed them all up to make this nonsense of a videogame.
That's why you have shit in this game like a mystery meat Pharah using an ak-47 and riding a horse even though he can fly and shoot lightning.

Yeah in eu all modes except unranked draft are playable, I get 40-50 second queue times in quickplay, 3-4 minutes in ranked, aram is pretty much instant. I heard NA is doing fine as well. I would only suggest not engaging during seven hours (3-4+ AM), that's where all the tryhard premades crawl out

You are brain broken, otherwise you wouldn't ask such a stupid question.
