PC Gamers: What needs to be done to stop the population drop?

[Skullduggery]

Lack of Communication.
Lack of Teamwork by the general populace.
Lack of game balance.
Lack of map design.
Lack of everything.

what population drop/exodus ?
[overpaid]console promoters should start troll hader, IMO.
PC gaming community grow/dynamics in only increase last years and this trend relain same in near 5 yrs, at least in worst case, if anything change at all[which is doubtful].

[legend123]

this just in:

population has gone from 4000 peak -> 3000 peak -> 2300 peak
in well 3 days!

as the axis continuously invades the allied numbers are dropping like flies.

[Rahabib]

a balance patch with an apology from SD for taking so long.

[Darksider]

I love this game but already playtime has been going down after 60 hours or so, not enough diversities in the maps or not enough maps to begin with. For a game to be set in the middle of the ocean and have no map centered around a ocean scenario I just find strange, because of that I would love to get my hands on a SDK.

Yeah, from 15k from the very first week when game was released on Steam.

Only in games that are good. Games that are not good die out within months. That will likely happen to BRINK to. Else the players wouldn’t have dropped from 17k to 2k in under a month. I guess the game will have around 500 - 1000 players left in a month.

thats the point.
Consoles never had any “good” game per 2-3 year, while PC had 1-2 each year in worst case[unsually more]. let alone 24x more consumers installbase/sales volume.
note: claiming thats Brink isn’t good game isn’t good game itself.
did you wrote testament before meet/saw the truth/meet creator ? cuz you time is running out.

Halo? Uncharted? Call of Duty? FIFA? And so on.
Not saying I like all of these - in fact, I only like one of the above series - but they are popular and long-lasting series, and a lot of people do like them. And there’s definitely more than one every 2-3 years.

popular has no relationship with product quality
popular usually goes with the simplicity, ease of access to the product

[QUOTE=DrpPlates;329683]Brink is not a PC GAME- its a console game… plain and simple…
cant fix that… :([/QUOTE]

You have no idea what you’re talking about

[Shadowcat]

The one fix that would make the game a lot more enjoyable for me is making global chat and adding friends far more feasible. As it is i feel like I’m playing by myself, and it gets rather boring. I need the ability to talk to strangers in game, make friends, and then add them so we can play together later.

[coolstory]

No use in players trying anything tbh. Brink’s is dead/dying. Game’s boring, movement and shooting requires almost no skill.

It’s all about being light and spaming your carb-9 while holding down smart and smashing the use key.

Add
horrible server browser
limited customization (cvars etc)
feels like a console port

Kinda feel betrayed

gg brink. Good night sweet prince

The game needs to run properly on setups that aren’t intel+nvidia. But I’m afraid that won’t happen anytime soon.

[QUOTE=Overgear;329864]TF2 only has headshotting for 2 classes and ADS for only one of them. It was fantastic as I could actually move around and not worry about where I was shooting at someone.

Some people like headshots but they already do more damage than a body shot.
Some people don’t like headshots or iron sighting all the time. It’s a preference[/QUOTE]

I don’t mind looking through ironsights, it’s the movement speed penalty that usually comes with it that I dislike.

• voip on default
• chat on default
• fix the bugs
• fix perfomance issues
• fix teams balance
• change default cfg on servers filling them with bots, instead use it to just balance teams

with this i think majority will agree

Now not everyone agree with this, but no Killing tracking ingame and lack of diferent gamemodes its a sit back for a lot of players.

I agree with this.

I don’t understand how anyone could say that Brink is a bad game though.

[MorsTua]

a solution?

copy and paste rtcw code in this new engine and probably we will have an enjoyable game

but anyways, not sure could be good as rtcw was. id is a reagl good so, splash damage are just modders.

the netcode is a failure and the engine isn’t smooth as good, old, id tech 3

+1 this.

also i think the option to change the FOV ingame as an option would be better.

i’ve changed it to 110 and my whole gameplay experience has changed, the gameplay seems faster and more solid.

i’ve not had any performance issues as of yet, and im on Ati Cat 10.5 hf with ati 5770 x 2 in cf mode.

-PS, im running windows 8 milestone 2 (7955) also.

-PS2, if SD Made bigger maps and would take the player cap off the maps, maybe increase to 24 players, things would get alot more interesting. we have yet to see if we can drive vehicles and such also so…

[Angry_Machine]

95% of servers were empty yesterday evening.

Never seen that before for a 1 month old game !!!

That’s sad, but very obvious, I can’t count the many bugs and the flaws of this game…

We all feel betrayed

Steam stats : today COD BOPS peak : 37 000, today BRink peak : 2000

LOL

Current players on Brink : 1500 LOL LOL LOL LOL
