Decent HP, attack, and defence stats. Negatives: Terrible speed and high stamina costs later on. Has a high number of weaknesses. Learns the fewer moves.

The more people going 'Oh I don't want to play bc of low numbers', the less people we have; meaning more people don't play because of the even LOWER player base numbers.
I just happen to remember how painful it was learning this game the first time around when I was getting paired against max mmr players. I managed to scrape my way to 1.2k mmr. They havent reset mmr or set anything up where if you are gone for x amount of time your mmr resets. I reeeeeally dont want to go through the same struggle relearning this game I did last time. I can wait for full release and hopefully player base comes back.

I reeeeeally dont want to go through the same struggle relearning this game I did last time. I can wait for full release and hopefully player base comes back.They've implemented a (controversial) system, where if there is a large MMR disparity between two groups that the matchmaker finds, it will split premades to satisfy what it can to make it a 'fair game.' To follow that, players from various brackets can end up on the same team.If you're a solo queuing 2,000 MMR player, you're more than likely to have at least one B2/3 player that the game expects you to carry, and you're faced with the same thing on the enemy team or a full team of average players.In short, you're not going to get paired against max MMR players without something on your side making your chances to win existent. Eh forum closure has nothing to do with it.
We still have this and the discord where most people are at anyways.Phase 3 certainly drove some people off, but the trend is that new players stick around longer now.Once they get all the kinks ironed out from Conquest 2.0, they can advertise and thats when the playerbase is gonna grow bigger.The truth is, veterans who have all the things are nice, but dont matter for your game. Neither as monetary source nor as a kind of patriach for newbs.Actually many of the current veterans are huge player deterrents, due to salt and group splitting/stomping.So yeah vets dont matter and wed be better off with an equal start in knowledge for everyone. Hi Catfish,For the past 6 months or so, we've been focusing on player retention rather than getting new players in. The reason for this is because there was clearly an issue with the game which was stopping players sticking with it, and if we made a push for new players at that point, we would've seen a bunch of people come in, play for a couple of weeks and then leave again.Recently we released Phase 3 which we believed would create more action and ultimately, a more fun filled experience in the game, so more players would stick with it. Originally posted by:@Steggs101 You guys are the best. This game is one of a kind (please dont remind me of dreadnaught, its matchmaking is by far worst i've ever seen) and will succeed.
All ships feel unique, while learning curve is a little bit painful its still rewarding.This game is like a train right now, it accelerates slowly but once it does it will be steady and unstoppable.It has to accelerate though. The game has a huge potential but for now it is largely unfullfied. I hope the devs get it right!

It's died repeatedly, has gone under 100 consistant users as at average hours, had to be remade twice now, and even went F2P.Why? The Devs are stuck up their own butts and keep doing ♥♥♥♥ that the community tells them not to, and refuses to change it back.There's currently a petition to have it removed from Steam due to the toxic nature of the community shown and the general hostility towards players by the devs. That should give you an idea of where it stands. And no, I won't link it, that's just bad form.
You can google it.

This petition must be very unpopular. Originally posted by:I think this community is far away form toxic.Yeah, that's why it has 2 warnings on it from Steam itself, and the Devs are banned from PAX. Because the community is all sunshine and rainbows.I'd link the stream videos of one of the 'elite' players basically being a toxic ♥♥♥, but the last time we did that, the Devs started making liberal use of the thread lock feature. Again, Google is a thing.Basically what you're saying is 'look at all this BS I'm talking, no I'm not going to back it up with proof'.Well played- go away please. You don't have to like the game, but in that case, how about letting those who do have their place.
