View Stats: Global Achievements Rocket Arena > General Discussions > Topic Details Nea the prostitute View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 7:18am What is wrong with the playerbase? The game looks extremely fun, is from a big company (not an indie game) and even has positive reviews, so why the hell are there only 400 players? It´s not because of "dead hours" or something like that, it seems that there is a bigger problem, and honestly I can´t say why this game seems like already being dead.I would buy this game instantly if there would be like 2k players, but I won´t spend 30€ for a game that already seems dead, even if it looks amazing.

I played 2 games and am not exactly addicted, and I assume others are similar. Even the small player numbers now probably won't last for long. Even with the free copy I don't think I'll be playing all too much, and I think that there is nowhere near enough content to warrant 30 dollars for this game. 10 heros and I think 10 maps? My personal opinion is that you should save your money.

Should never be Buy2Play because this is a F2P Shooter #2 Fiercy View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 7:51am

There is a strong predetermined hate movement here that will do/say anything to hurt the game out of some misguided idea that every multiplayer game in 2020 should be free. As you can see even getting the game as a gift for playing the beta doesn't change their mind.To your question if you think game looks extremely fun go for it! Games last max 7 mins and you will have 2 hours to try it. Make your own opinion. What's wrong with community is this people let toxic posts get the better of them. If you support the game come here and say haters are wrong more people will buy it and there will never be a DOA. And again I am not telling you the game is amazing you should spend your money on it! I am telling you that you have 2 hours to try it and if you your self think it looks fun. Don't let the haters stop you. #3 Nea the prostitute View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:01am

It´s not about 2 hours for refund time. I will enjoy the game, but I´m fearing that in a few weeks you won´t find any matches anymore, because the playerbase drops near zero. I guess I´ll take my time and wait, and if I think this game will have a future, I won´t wait a second and grab it :) #4 vjollila View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:22am i would probably say the marketing was pretty ♥♥♥♥ this showing up on steam front page was first time I saw this. also this being 30€+microtransactions maybe has some affect too #5 arsenicBumpnip View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:24am

For the record, the movement is less "every multiplayer-only game should be free" and more "if a multiplayer-only game is going to have a paid battlepass and an MTX shop it should be F2P to compensate for that, or at most maybe $6-7" #6 rawket View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:26am

People like to twist what people are meaning to try to make an argument. An unbelievable amount of that on this forum it looks like. #7 Dalton View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:33am You do realize it's not counting the numbers from Origin, right? Also it's cross-platform. There have been no issues finding games--for me at least. #8 Red View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:40am We need to to be able to see the total player counts then. This is basically essential for a PvP online only multiplayer game, where active player base means EVERYTHING. It's a big risk, I also bought Lawbreakers and that only lasted a few weeks and died off completely, to the point I couldn't even get into a match. That's why people (and rightly so) are unwilling to spend money on multiplayer games like this anymore, there have just been TOO MANY of them that died off after only a couple of months. Free to play has a much higher chance of working because if the game is good, you'll get your active playerbase, and then people can decide if they want to financially support the company or not (with microtransactions, battle passes etc).

Lmao Steam is BY FAR the biggest launcher, so I doubt that there will be more Origin players than Steam players. Which would male less than 1k players (not counting console). And even with console the playerbase is WAY too low, keeping in mind that there even is crossplay. #10 ttv/VirtuallyBob™ View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:44am A number of people, like my friend, are experiencing a "UE4-Mariner" crash at start-up. The problem is affecting users on all three platforms (PC, PS4 and Xbone). Not sure if this would affect the 'numbers' but it is very frustrating to have a game crash, day 1, on all three platforms.EDIT: myself and another friend were not affected by this crash.Off topic: Also, I have Origin Access Premier.

Lmao, when I opened the discussion it was positive. You do realize that right now your discussion is controlled before it gets postet, what takes a while? Don´t you worry, there are more braindead people than you out there. #13 Fiercy View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:48am

Well here's my opinion most expansive skin in RA is 8$ and you can get it for free with in-game currency. Blast pass is 10$ and it's 30$ to own. Get Mythic for 40$ and you have everything you can possibly want. Valorant - free to play - skins for 100$ that you can upgrade for additional 196$. Apex same story 100$ for some relics. I don't know about you but I prefer to pay a flat price and enjoy 100% of the game and spend 0$ on the cosmetics. Besides the worst part is that so many people here that demand free to play will just play it for free and pay 0. Just look at Rawket he got the game for free and here's my point. #14 Fiercy View Profile View Posts 15 Jul, 2020 @ 8:49am

Every single negative review is summed up with this. It has price, bad game! Read them yourself. Also all these reviewers have less then 1 hour played. Nothing but review bombing. #15 < > Showing 1-15 of 100 comments Per page: 1530 50 Rocket Arena > General Discussions > Topic Details Date Posted: 15 Jul, 2020 @ 7:18amPosts: 100 Discussions Rules and Guidelines More discussions 19 when price droped ? 13 Game looks interesting but... 0 can't play because of error code 0 Banned???
