Why are the devs treating us like CRAP?!

[ionhart92]

Why is it all the complaints about ICO aren't taken seriously? Why are the DEVs so heartless and one sided towards Project Reality? Are they really making the game for the Fans of Squad or the fans of Project Reality?

[kind713orange]

why should they, there making money

[Aegmar]

Because apparently only a loud minority in this forum really dislikes the ICO ?

Look at player numbers: https://steamcharts.com/app/393380

Highest average player numbers in the history of Squad this month..., so yeah, seems there are quite a few players who like the slower pace of the game.

Do yourself a favor and look at the amount of Chinese servers vs every other nations servers. Know what you will find? The Chinese playerbase has exploded. There are around 400 Chinese servers vs only around 200 American servers. Everyone knows that the only thing that happened was the larger American/Canadian/European playerbase has dramatically decreased while simultaneously other countries like Turkey/China has dramatically increased. The playerbase hasn't increased in any significant way, it's just been replaced with players that are just now getting access to the game for the first time. It's evident when peak player hours are during the daytime here in the U.S. when most people are at work and players on the other side of the world are at home. This is why the playerbase dips down into 7,000 players at night here in the U.S. when it used to be the opposite. Used to be 6-7,000 during the day here in the U.S. and at night when players were home and playing the playerbase would rise back up to 8-10K. That's the truth no matter how you try to spin it. Sure the playerbase rose to it's highest avg. ever AFTER 2 sales and a holiday. The real question is how long will it last.

Squad players are just little money piggies for OWI now, keep oiking and buy the skins.

this, they are a very loud minority that instead of complaining 24/7 should just play something else.

There is not much else to play, in a modern Setting.
Arma 3 is to much PvE.
Arma Reforger is ♥♥♥♥
Rising Storm 2 is set in WW2 or Vietnam.
Hell let Loose is set in WW2
Post Scriptum (Squad 44) is set in WW2 too
Project Reality is old and has the same Problems like Squad
Maybe i give the BF3 reality Mod a second Chance. Last Time i played BF3 reality Mod, there was not even Vehicles in this Mod.

There is no real Competition and the Devs know this.

[JLPtheGreat]

Remember OWI is basically trash company now since the former head devs left to do better thing than sell out to other corporations. Basically a AAA trash company one of the many reasons I don't play Squad anymore. There is also more bugs now than there was before so yeah... Also the Community as well killed it for me to a degree, but isn't the main reason I quit.

This crap is hilarious. OWI and Squad devs don't owe you guys anything grow up. These dramatics are a bit over the top. Funny thing is these haters are still playing the game.

Hmm i just went to look at steam charts you can look at the graph it is odd that peak player count is at like 6 am and noon on a weekday lol. This man is observant good catch. Though i dont know what time zone steam charts is representing i would assume one of the USA based zones.

This actually tracks player count and player location as well as active servers in real time:

https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/squad/stats?playerCount=24H&2e0791ae-d6f7-11e7-8461-b7cebb9fd653=24H&serverCount=24H&options%5B2e0791ae-d6f7-11e7-8461-b7cebb9fd653%5D=c3441410-288a-11ed-b0d3-d7409ce9c531%2Cc34e9030-c51e-11ed-bcf6-c9396c472156%2C3967d550-f61e-11eb-8662-173f2f772e42%2Cbe014f20-0e54-11ea-96ab-d9aad1691b18%2C10f28200-993c-11ee-9599-19832d5fb7dc

Currently at Squad's daily dip, China is the top player count with US in second by 200 players. Germany has the most active servers with US and then China.

Squad's gamer peak matches that of the majority of steam games. This trend is explained best by geography and understanding timezones:

https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

1300-1900 UTC tends to be the peak time for gaming across the world.
0500-1100 PST
0800-1400 EST
1300-1900 GMT(obviously)
1400-2000 CET
1600-2200 AST/MSK
2100-0200 CST(Beijing)

These are waking hours for the majority of the gaming world.

https://www.nativex.com/en/blog/staying-compliant-chinas-gaming-regulations-explained/

A large chunk of chinese players can't legally play past 10PM.

You may think that there aren't a lot of US gamers at that peak, but there are likely not many chinese players either. There are more global players though.

Project reality is still better then squad , the problem with squad is too much user interface and people who like to run and gun solo

Answer to me. Why DEVs stopped developed tactical milsim Squad v. 0.9 and started remaking tactical BF from v. 1.0?
