Game is dead

[paul_orlando]

According to steam charts, game is dying pretty fast. I'm not surprised. The only PVP players left are toxic sweats, and it's very difficult for admins to enforce any fair play rules. Plus, who wants to have to be online for 2 hours at a specific time every day for raids. Not practical.

😂... Ofc pve is better choice in this game and I was PvP player.
Tell me one PvP game where enemy base location with name and even with health is shown on map? And for extra, you have social tab that helps you raid only offline players if you want. Until names and castle location are not removed from map, this game is suitable only for toxic PvP players who like to team up and grief ♥♥♥♥ out of you.

the territories and being able to see online pretty much makes the game a no for me

if you read them already, you of course saw that it doesnt matter what they put in there since you arent losing your rights by signing the eula online :'D ...
it is meaningless... no one can make you legally liable because the EULA says so, it doesnt affect the actual rights in the country you life. maybe take time to understand next time, so you dont have to read it for nothing.

I told you that resetting the server every three months would kill this game.

Welp it didn't take long for the "gAmE iS dEaD" brainiac crowd to come back after dining on crow for the past few weeks or month or however long it's been since gloomrot was released.

It’s not “dead” but the player base seems drastically smaller. Can’t even find a single merciless server with more that 5 concurrent players

Game isnt finished and doesnt have endgame yet. It was never meant to keep having good pop this update.

I doubt that full release changes anything. Sure people will play it through again but it will end up in same situation.

not my text, copied from a random user some time ago:
The inherent flaw with open-world PvP is that the fairness is easily removed. Even if you "git gud" it doesn't stop people with higher gear killing you, since enough of a gap in gear is going to make the skill difference irrelevant.

PvP only really works when it's match-based and/or when the gear doesn't matter or is evened out. As long as there's some advantage the enemy can have over you besides skill, it's going to drive most folks off, aside from those who enjoy using those advantages to bully others.

A lot of folks want to be wolves, nobody wants to be a sheep, and even more people simply want to be left alone. The wolves are left starved with no sheep to prey on and they lose interest. Nobody wins.

Have you tried solo, or running your own server with some friends?

This exactly, and I think what most players who say they want pvp miss.

I have a private dedicated for me and my wife and for me solo, and I enjoy the hell out of it. I'm sure once I've finished all the bosses I'll be done too until the next big update. It's just the cycle of EA games for me, Valheim, 7 days, No One Survived, Conan Exiles, and now V Rising added to the cycle.
