Free Weekend or Sale on PC

(premiumjones) #1

I think a free weekend or sale for Brink is in order. Currently, Sunday at 8:30PM EST, there’s 2 servers that have more than 10 players on them which are also under 120 ping. There’s no FF servers that have players on them under 150 ping. It was the same last night at 8PM as well. So if I want to play Brink I either have to move to France or play a laggy 150 plus match, which is not fun.

New players are needed. The game has had some great improvements over the past few weeks and it’s getting the “free” DLC soon. So why not have a free weekend? Or at least a sale. I like the way the game is now and would like to play it, but there’s no one to play against.

I’m hoping Brink is in the Steam summer sale and priced appropriately for a game struggling to hold players.

SD should wait till they patch up all the bugs, first person spectate, demo recording, and once the game’s more optimized (fps/hitreg) before a free weekend.

I’m just hoping to stop the bleeding. While I think it’s important for competition and as a long term goal, I don’t think most casual players would care too much about the lack of demo recording or first person spectating. On the other hand FPS and hit recognition are much more noticeable to the common player.

After 90 hours on this game, I am on the verge of calling it quits, Hard to find a decent server most often that’s full and pings are good, I usually end up having to play on some server somewhere in Europe or Russia just to be able to play this game with people online. I think a Free Weekend could boost up player count for the DLC release, just my thought…
