Why is Squad dead on arrival and how do they save it?
>>320758605
>early access
Literally a premature birth and death
>>320758605
Isn't it like $40?
It's too low budget and small-minded for a modern game. There's no ambition to take the concept to new heights, they just wanted to make their mod a standalone title - but who needs that with the mod being around. Has nothing new to bring to the table and no cheat protection either.
>>320758605
>EA
>37€
and you wonder why is it dead?
>>320759675
This. I read the premise and thought it sounded really cool. Even though I've said NO MORE EARLY ACCESS I was gonna pick this up until I saw how much they wanted for it. Stupid.
>>320759676
>but who needs that with the mod being around.
They aren't restricted to the shitty BF2 engine anymore so they can actually inplement proper weapon handling instead of the shitty fucking cone deviation
>>320758605
Well it's not dead, you have to consider that the only people who really know about it are PR players. Most PR players won't switch over until it has more content.
The way to "save" it is to promote it. The team focused gameplay and build system will help make it stand out.
>>320758605
It's like $40 for fucking nothing
If the team manages to fix the UE4 multiplayer capabilities it will be good.
Also implement all the features of PR. So it should be complete in a year or two.
Hope they don't take the money and run.
>Guys I'm going to make you the most delicious fucking cake you've ever had. Right now all we have is flour and some chocolate frosting. You can enjoy that while we round up the rest of the ingredients.
>>320761965
Yeah there isn't much content. Pretty good for an "ALPHA" aka we need a cash injection

There's only one chance to release your game, you know
Getting out of EA almost never boosts the sales
>>320758605
Is this a bad rip-off of project reality and insurgency?
>>320758605
'Squad' was an awful name choice
>>320763975

Put em in a coffin.

>>320758605
Price and price
>M-MUH PRICE
It's actually a very nice way to filter the shitters. In a way, it's an extension of the kickstarter.
The ones that aren't necessarily interested and don't really want to support the project will be rebutted by the pricetag, others won't.
>>320765083
So nobody buys it except the "hard-core" who already have it if they were at all interested and now they can't afford further development.
Good job sinking this project.
Playing on the 50 vs 50 test server, pretty fun and very chaotic.
>>320765308
>they can't afford further development
This isn't how it works Billy.

>>320765542
Besides even if it was 20$ it would be too costly for your poor teenager asses and your public trackers habits and you know it damn well. You would still whine the fucking same.
>>320765542
It is if it's "dead on arrival" and nobody new is buying it.
>>320765608
nice pings
>>320766714
UE4 has the shittiest net code in human history.
It's like playing chess by mail
>>320766767
>net code
>ping
actually 200 ping = around 50ish for some reason.
I would probably have regretted it if operators were paid dlc. Now I can step off the game and come back when new maps/operators are out since I saved up over 10k renown already
>>320767595
200 does not =50. Absolutely not. I've had hundreds of literal dice roll cqb firefights and sniper shots not register for half seconds and magic bullets that hit around corners. These are all symptoms of lag and slow server update rates.
Did you fire as the server was sending an update or did your enemy fire as the server sent an update? This could cost you your life.
Tick rate influences ping. A low tick rate of 10 adds about 166 ms to the ping, this results in everyone having a 200-300 ping. The ping displayed in game factors in tick rates, so if anything it's more accurate than most games ping displays.
Once they figure out the net code and how to make UE4 run on servers with more than 1 core then the game will be much better for players and server hosts.
>>320765608
holy fucking shit! Look at those pings!!!
Because it's 50 dollary doos.
We'll see what happens on Christmas.
They have put up a 100 man test server with 2 sessions. Early they tried 200 man on one session but it crashed at 140 people.
>>320763975
this tbqh
>>320758605
>40 dollars for a stripped down free mod
>>320770527
Actual pings, as displayed by the console command, is low and typical of whatever your connection can normally get.
But the ping display factors in tick rate. Most servers are low tick, update, rate because it takes a lot of hardware to push huge maps and tons of content to 50-100 players. Servers are further handicapped because UE4 can only run on single core servers right now. If the servers tried to run a higher tick rate, then the servers would be unplayably laggy.
Once the team figures out how to fix the net code and make UE4 capable of running on more than one core it will be good.
I'm not sure if either of those goals are even possible. In which case we've been bamboozled.
But if they can figure these things out then we'll have a great game.
>>320758605
It's featureless $40 early access trash, there is no reason to buy this trash over a free game that is Project Reality.

Fucking hoodrat normies
ruined a perfectly good word
Too high of a price for EA? Especially considering how EA games turn out 90% of the time and tacticool shooters aren't exactly the biggest sellers to begin with, I can see how the game's dead on arrival.

Small team has a way too ambitious with all the things they wanna add.
>A. they concentrate on fixing the bugs and stabilizing the current game and delay new content, causing players to leave, stopping potential buyers "because nobody plays" and the circle begins anew
>B. they try to add much new stuff fast, but don't have the time to fix all the bugs that arise
>C. they miraculously manage to find the perfect balance of new content AND fixing all the bugs with the limited resources they have.

Early Access is my favorite meme
>>320766714
It is round trip ping rather than one way. The numbers don't equate to anything you're used to. Anything around 200 is fine.

They have enough money for the team to work for 3 years at the moment.
