General Playcount

Post by Azfrief » 23 Jun 2018, 01:45

Has it gotten low lately or is it just me? Was it that stupid fucking xeno buff that happened for basically no reason? I remember hearing that made at least a few people stay away.

If you think 107 players is low man, you haven’t been here that long

CM will always have its highs and lows, right now because the devs have yet to implement a fix for a lot of the broken shit people have just decided they’d rather not play because they’re not having fun. It’ll be back up as soon as the stuff is fixed me thinks.

Lower player count you say? cackles in specialist
Meztli 'Penumbra' Tlachi - reasonable, outgoing CMP WARRANT REVOKED; INVESTIGATION PENDING
Tonati 'Lumen' Tlachi - focused, sarcastic Doctor/Researcher
Bailey 'Androgyne' James - exactly what you'd expect
Dominick 'Umpire' Feldspar - creepy, slow-paced Officer
Dana 'Croc' Swartwout - dawdling, unsympathetic Squad Marine/Specialist
Damon 'Hellboy' Banner - satanic, pyromaniacal Squad Marine/Specialist
Amelia 'Green' Goodwin - senile, polite Corporate Liaison/Medical Researcher

For me it's just not fun to fight against some of the xenos , for instance the warrior seems to just be a weird grabbing thing whose whole mechanic literally only pisses people off and is not fun to fight against. Delay and stun based combat is NOT fun when it means stun then pain crit for half an hour. It works on TG because you heal up quickly there so it doesn't matter if you are hit by a single bullet or slashed once.

Similar thing with defenders, you just shoot and shoot and shoot and they just stand there like nothing even happened. It's not rewarding, fighting the original castes are satisfying because you can see when they take damage they retreat.

Playercount always fluctuates for a number of reasons. Summer is simultaneously a high pop and a low pop time. Balance changes come and go. People will come back when stuff comes in, as always.

It’s really not something to worry about too much I think.
