Come play a dead game with us!>Resourceshttps://youtu.be/0qR9Xbzt5t0?si=vYygQA_pWvL0tIu_
Just won a 4v5 and it feels pretty good.
>>2220588can't
>>2222459Just lost on the first round and it feels pretty bad..
I'm having a blast
When will devs make a toaster multiplayer lobby game. I need greedy AI to eat more so I get low req, low storage kino games. The tech just got better so battle royales and all these team based crap came with massive download sizes and more than needed hardware reqs.
>>2220588Winning gives me a rush and losing makes me seethe. Is this what a competitive shooter is supposed to be like?
>>2220588I'm honestly just treating this game as a Fate Trigger waiting room tbdesune
bro i really like the idead of this game but optimization is so shit i just cant play this game even after the first optimization update, but i hope they did something for now so i downloanding this game for the 3th time, hope now everything is better
and also i dont like that map is on the right side but i still wanna try to get into this game
This is what you get for making controller aim assist so retarded, and giving mouse and keyboard aimbot also. Played for an hour and everyone was lasering me.
genuinely enjoying this. The point scoring feels like a game of tennis.Winning a close match where both your bases are down to the minimum points, and you stop the shieldbreaker carrier just before they reach your base is a great buzz
Just so we all know. The roadmap has been cancelled.
did they improve performance further after that optimization patch?
really hate lootingso pointless and has no bearing on the game because you just pick whatever you likedrop it for loadouts
Its a shame, didn't hate the game, it was just mediocre but I saw potential for it to be better. However, the modern audience messaging invites hate bandwagoning and a mediocre product has no way to defend itself from such, so it's dead dead dead.
Tried the game out since I heard it was dying. I had fun. It's an alright game not my favorite thing ever but it was okay, the concept is interesting.I don't get the intense hatred it got. It's like a 6/10 game, better than Paladins.

Dead.
>>2245163>it's true>https://playhighguard.com/Oh no Highguardians we got too cocky!
Maybe I'm coping, but it does feel like this game could be salvaged if they shut it down and launched in a smaller beta so they can actually fix the shit wrong with it and flesh it out more.
>>2245713I think the existing gameplay but with much smaller maps would be the perfect mix and be really fun to play
I'm still having a blast!
>>2246745Sir, this is /vm//v/ is for the shitposting
Unreleased character
>>2252002hope they release her soon
>>2252002would be an alright design with fatter tits
>>2252002Could look better...
something seems off with the hit reg in this game. I have some matches where I'm destroying everyone, and others where I'm unloading full mags into people and nothing happens, then they just melt me instantly. It's pissing me off
>>2220588>>2236875>>2245163It hasn't even been a month. Were they banking on the game being a smash hit or something?
>looting temporarily removedI hope they commit to retooling it, not just turning the game into another A/D Bomber release. It was fucked before, but the idea was there and helped feed into the experience of properly being a raid instead of just de_dust2_hg
New Mode - Raid Rush!A high-intensity 5v5 showdownIn Raid Rush, 2 teams of 5 players will take turns attacking and defending their bases with no pesky looting phase in between.Instead, select your base and use Trader Flynn to upgrade your weapons and equipment in a round based format. After each round, you’ll switch sides between attacking and defending. Your base walls and generators will be repaired, and you’ll be rewarded some Vesper to spend at the Trader, who will have different offers after every round. And don’t worry about buying armor - everyone has the same armor, and it will escalate in rarity as the rounds progress.This mode plays fast and is the perfect place to get a quick hit of action!
>>2261172I actually prefer the combat during the farming/looting phase, it's more unpredictable
Wardens, our time has come...
>>2270629It's a shame.
>>2233506Cope, controllers barely have aim assist. The people still playing are just built different.
>>2261172I guess they won't be.
>>2257748I don't think they were, I think they were dedicated to slow growth and improvements over time then Geoff Keighley fucked it all up.
>>2270734I wouldn't really blame Geoff. The fact that they're shutting down now means that they nevertheless needed a lot of players to keep things alive, and that wasn't going to happen with the issues the game had and how little they explained/advertised it when it did get shown off. I understand that the way the stage was set did prime a lot of people to be a lot more overreactive to its flaws, but the flaws were still there, and the fact that the game is outright dead shows additional mismanagement behind the scenes.Maybe in a best case scenario, it would've had a small scene of 1,000 or so dedicated players that could kinda coax people into trying it with them occasionally because it didn't have the stigma it did, but what's done is done. Maybe in the future, it might get brought back by the people who do like the unique features of it (e.g. Lawbreakers being freed from the shackles of CliffyB's snark and activism). I've always said that the game would be absolutely fun if they just used the tutorial map (since it's of far more reasonable scale), and it'd be really funny if people somehow got a private server going with it modified to be playable, and suddenly the game actually is worth inviting people to try.
What are you gonna play when Highguard goes offline?I'm thinking of trying Deadlock
>>2272041Nothing, I am quitting video games.
>>2270629Damn that's sad. I really think a beta could have fixed this game.
>>2272041Honestly? I might try to clone it in Warcraft 3 or something. Having to run around and fight over resources, spending gold at the shop, and then attacking the enemy base reminded of that quite a bit. Specifically because it felt closer to the normal gameplay War3 gameplay instead of another MOBA.
I feel so bad for the devs
NGL the hate for this game was massively overblown. This game wasn't amazing or anything but it had good bones. It became trendy to shit on it and that really hurt it. I'm not going to cry over it being gone but I do think it could have been improved had it been given a fair chance.
>>2273176Maybe. I know for sure that I personally thought it was boring as fucking sin, but I also still kept an eye on the game because yeah if they could fix the issues with being fuckhueg with too few players, I could tell it would be fun. It's just in that kind of situation where like, it's its own fault that it lost so many players, but you can definitely argue the fact that it's outright dead this early is due to the needless dogpiling. There's just no real path forward to fixing the game when any news of them trying to do so will just be drowned out by shitposting, which barely cared about how bad the game was to begin with, and they already experienced examples of this given the reaction to the 5v5 and raiding only modes they tried out. I know of a lot more F2P slop that had far fewer players and still get attempts to improve it, but those games don't have a massive hate crusade that obsessed over them literally every single day up until launch and for basically its entire life afterwards
>>2273176I didn't hate on it, even if I found the announcement really funny, but I genuinely don't get the appeal. It looked you were a peasant version of a Destiny character with a horse. I'll admit that I don't have any interest in the genre but at least with most successful games I can get an idea of the "fantasy" the game is trying to hook you in with. I never understood where the actual hook was supposed to be with Highguard.
>>2272041Welcome, to Marathon.
post em
>General lasted longer than the game itself
>>2288776It only lasted on /vg/ for a week. Being on /vm/ is not impressive.
