Why is Brawl dying?

I really hope anyone disagreeing with this began playing in 2013/2012. If you didn't then you most likely don't know how popular the server once was. Whether it is Brawl's fault or not, it's dying.

 

We liked the old fpsHG, just wanted them to fix the bugs. Not create a whole new version of things.
"Completely revamped war". Again we didn't want that. We wanted bugs and glitches to be fixed. New guns to be added along with maybe a new game mode in war and a few other additional things which I remember being mentioned 4 YEARS ago. Not a whole new frickin war game. It's not even similar.

The issue is, what we asked for isn't listened to, since a certain somebody has their head all the way up their ass.
It's like you only hear that the players want changes, but don't exactly listen to what specifically it is. You just go and do whatever you want, whenever you want. THAT's the issue.

Perhaps if Brawl didn't take years just to fix glitches, it wouldn't be dead.

 

i mean yah maybe they don't particularly listen to you 24/7 but yelling at them and saying they're **** (not directed at you specifically) doesn't give them motivation to get **** done lol

there has to be at least some level of respect in asking

 

While this community is somewhat hard to please, there is absolutely no excuse for brawl to take 4 years for a rework of a previously existing game to be released. Just take a look at skywars 2.0. Literally nobody asked for it, yet coding time, money and dedication was spent into releasing it. Besides that, they screwed up the release due to immense lag and bugs, and it ended up flopping as a result. From what I hear, it was at least 5-6 months of effort gone into that project. At that time, I'm sure we still had more than 2 coders who could have used that time to oversee the production of war 2.0 and spend all efforts into that longed for and demanded gamemode.

-Skywars 2.0 coding: Could have gone to war 2.0
-Money spent on coders for Skywars 2.0: Could have funded the coding for war 2.0, and advertising
-Time spent on Skywars 2.0: May have saved us that 4 year mark of the war 2.0 promise
-Release hype and videography: Could have been spent on war 2.0, with potentially hundreds of returning players and a demand finally met.
-Advantage of the multiple coders we had at the time: Could have been spent on fixing the bugs rapidly and pleasing the community, your customers, upon release of war 2.0

and that is just for war 2.0. What about other promised gamemodes?

Hub wasnt released, pixelmon isnt out, SAO isnt out, LoL isnt out, new CoD isnt out, WarZ 2.0 or DayZ isnt out, Factions isnt out... brawl has a terrible history of broken promises and before you claim that the lack of coders or EULA is at factor... we've experienced these issues before the EULA became enforced, and when we had many devs.

Now do you see why the community is near impossible to please? We are just fed up with a lot of things.

 

When this thread was made wildwest had 5 players on at max :3

Now we get 30 a day and sheriffs every day. Kind of dead tho, not 100 players.

 

agreed completely. however i was just using skywars as an example of how brawl has been going, and not in comparison to battle royale. Another thing to note on is why fpsHG was ever removed in the first place?

 

People always complain about things not happening, but if they actually tried to do what they were complaining about (e.g. work on War 2.0) they'd probably screw it up or not be able to do it themselves. Then they'd actually know the kind of pain the developers probably have to go through making sh** for ungrateful players.
Sure there's people who do appreciate what the developers are doing for them but there's more people who want everything to be perfect in their eyes, and when they don't get it, they rage and leave.

 

Didn't putty link you a list of updates they've done for multiple gamemodes? No, it's not as many updates as many of us (especially me) would like, but they are updates.

You do realize that EULA obliterated a lot of server revenue right (in other words, what Evil said)? When you don't have revenue you can't hire more coders or pay them enough to where they'll actually want to work for you - instead of someone else - meaning we don't get as many updates.

That brings me to my next question: Why are you here? All you've done since your "return" is mindlessly flame brawl and sh*tpost. Did you come back - and yes, when you start posting again it means you've come back - for that reason? To complain about how certain things haven't been fixed? Everyone knows that. It's become a meme at this point, #soon. But I have to say, your concern is touching.

I don't think you realize who you're talking to. Tom is, by far, one of the most engaged and considerate staff members on the entire team. I know because of the dozens of times he has taken part in community discussions in every single gamemode (especially ctf) and has encouraged more transparency in the staff team.

As for whether or not Brawl is dead: you haven't been watching the playercount. It's actually gone up a bit since the WarZ reset.

 

k but he doesnt know about war and warz

give it 2 days and it will be down to 5 players on each server like it always has done when an update is released

 

That's not the point

Hasn't happened

 

give it a week

 

yes you are if you havent played war/warz since 2013

 

It's already been a week lol

 

and what do you know, 5 players on each server at 5:51 pm in the summer

 

I think its just because of lack of updates, core reason War is dying is because of slow release of 2.0
