I'm confused... are they just trying to light all their money on fire? throwing good money after bad
People complain when a dev gives up on a game too quickly. Hell, people complain when EA shuts down the server of something released 10 years ago.
Even though this clearly isn't the best use of money for Boss Mode Games, I'm not going to knock or mock a dev giving more content to its paying customers, even if there are only 10 of them.
There are thousands of active players, just not all necessarily on at the same time. On top of that there are thousands more that own the game but are waiting for the update to play again.
And then there are several thousand new owners as of the past few days that bought the game in advance of the update that will probably be playing this weekend.
So yes it's worth it to them to keep patching the game, draw in new players, bring back old ones, and continue to grow the game for as long as they can. BKP (Boss Key Productions) is a new studio with a new IP, no reason to give up so soon. |

Wasn't this game 'ruined' by the latest patch? Aka taking all the speed and skill out of the game, or something? Speaking third hand, I didn't buy this game, but was considering it until I read all the recent negative reviews about patch 1.4+
I have nearly 200 hours in this game. The 1.4 patch increased the health pools across the board, and adjusted the mobility of certain classes (Vanguard and Enforcer mobility buffed, Assassin and Wraith mobility nerfed). It also added health regeneration after a few seconds of avoiding damage.
The result is a much more forgiving experience for new players, who would get pretty much melted by the game's many alpha and beta players as well as the better retail players. This combined with the 25% off sale and the free weekend should help boost the player counts and hopefully improve the matchmaking so that newer players get matched up with other newer players rather than putting more experienced players in together with the newbies just to fill out matches.
I expect they'll be dialing back some of the changes to go a little closer back to the previous gameplay as there are certainly some imbalances and the competitive players are somewhat reluctant to play with the current version.
But all in all the change has been positive IMO, and the concurrent users are rising.
If you're interested I wrote a review here with more info: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Blahman/recommended/350280
Bottom line is, if you like fast-paced shooters with freedom of movement, try it out this weekend and decide for yourself. Don't let the negative nancies shitting on this game all over the internet turn you off. It's an absolute blast. |

I was the leader of a Wheel of Time themed guild called Defenders of the Light, we were basically an anti-PK guild and would go around raiding known PK guild towns and along with a few other guilds including one called The Pluggers, were some of the baddest mofos on the Atlantic shard. Good times. Was in the beta, still have my cloth map too.
BTW if you are pining for a modern UO successor check out Legends of Aria (formerly known as Shards Online). It's looking really good and the final alpha is scheduled to start on the 28th: https://www.legendsofaria.com/final-alpha-coming-september-21st/
This video gives a pretty good intro of what to expect, at least as it was as of the previous alpha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X94okE0Ma80 |

I liked Chivalry but never got around to trying this one (I was usually busy the times that they had free weekends)
Gonna give it a try this weekend. Probably.
If you want it for free, pick it up today, otherwise it's $10 thereafter.
I have over 120 hours playtime in this game since launch and I've enjoyed it a lot but stopped playing once I could no longer find full servers. Will definitely be playing again now though.
Would love to see LawBreakers do the same since it is also near the point where it's no longer playable due to long matchmaking queues.

| Sad to see LawBreakers drop off the list, it's truly a diamond in the rough. Way better than Quake Champions. The marketing for it has been pitiful however, and no big-name streamers playing it. |

reading about bannings, when it's still in Early Access, is a bit of a turnoff. Catering to streamers is a huge turnoff, but I guess that's how multiplayer games work these days. 
It's a total non-issue. No one "accidentally" stream snipes. The people that do it, do it on purpose, and pay the price. If you play legitimately you have nothing to worry about. |

All I know is, if I get into a car in 99% of the FPS games that you can get into a car, I'm going to lay on the horn if I feel like it. That shouldn't be a bannable offense. The fact that it is, is a fault of the developer(s) or whomever they chose to run their servers/client list/whatever.
*BEEP BEEP* You're about to get run over by a damned jeep, in a FPS! Classic Battlefield. Apparently it's sacrilege in PUBG.
I don't like people deliberately trolling others, but the horn thing seems extremely minor. Why put the horns in if they are only going to ban 'regular' people to protect 'privileged' streamers? Mind boggling.
I don't think you understand how it works at all.
Honking the horn is not an issue.
Following around specific players across multiple matches and using it to troll them and ruin their experience over and over is. The admins can tell the difference. |

Nevermind how difficult it can be to locate someone in the map, what about how small the chances are that you even get put into the same match as a streamer and can identify when you do? It's not like DayZ or any number of other games where it's as simple as finding out the name of the server they're on and choosing to connect to the same one, the matchmaking is all random and anonymous for the most part, isn't it? With all the dumb luck involved preventing you from purposely doing it whenever you want, how can it possibly be such a significant issue that rules need to be made about it?
It's extremely easy to queue up with and locate streamers even when they take every precaution against stream sniping. It still happens constantly. |

More on topic, reading the PUBG Steam reviews, apparently you can get banned for using the car horn, near Twitch streamers!??!? That's just embarrassing for the developers.
Stream sniping (watching another player's Twitch stream to get in their game, find them and kill/disrupt/troll them) is against the game's rules and yes, they will get banned if they do it enough. It's really annoying for the streamer and their viewers. |

Are the bots configurable like UT, or at least have basic difficulty setting like B2?
Not yet AFAIK. They haven't released the server files yet but maybe when they do AI difficulty will be an option. |

Does anyone here play this? I'm wondering how it is. The addition of bots has me interested since I live in an unpopulated timezone and also usually don't like playing against other people.
Yeah I have almost 120 hours in this game. The bots are pretty easy though. If you've played at all they will not be much of a challenge, but they're nice to have to fill out a server. |

I love this game and the update is great, but it still has an unfathomably tiny playerbase.
I hope they can do something to draw more players in because it really is an underrated/unknown game. |

Mirage: Arcane Warfare is a good value at $15, but desperately needs more players. It's a great game -- I've already put over 60 hours into it despite there only being a couple dozen players online at peak time lately.
Better combat with greater freedom of movement and a better level of production quality than Chivalry, very high skill cap and lots of unlockable cosmetics that are actually pretty cool. Some people are turned off by the aesthetic but I like it -- has a nice Prince of Persia vibe.
I don't understand why so few people bought it, but a seemingly sizable part of the Chiv fanbase rejecting it out of spite and leaving nasty reviews probably didn't help.
I hope the Steam summer sale gives its population a kickstart and look forward to their coming updates. Sounds like July is going to have a big content patch with new weapons, abilities and levels. |

Who dat at no.1 blues peeps? It is the real deal...Get used to it ...
Game has improved with last 2 updates. Fun to play again. Nope. Still unbelievably lagging servers.
They're working on it. This month's monthly patch is supposed to address it. They're probably having to rewrite a bunch of netcode and server code. |
