"Guns of Icarus" fans, holding game back.

You made faulty a assumption that the people who bought the bundle, played this game, and even if they did, left because of "stacked" teams. You did not phone call each one and ask him why he doesn't play it. I have tried to convince a lot of my friends to purchase this game but many of them were completely uninterested in the game.

I knew this point would come up, feel free to knock off a few thousand from that number, it doesn't really affect it that much.

Even if you knock that number down to 5,000, which is ridiculous by the way. The handful of people who actually play still reflects the games poor retention rate. You guys are pointlessly nit-picking.
Although, I already responded to this, as quoted, you didn't take the time to read, so I don't know why I'm taking the time to reply.

...you just ignored 99% of the posts, picked one single one to respond to, then accused everyone who isn't you... Of nit-picking.

Ok the arguments are beginning to become circular, it's time to pump the brakes and forget about any insulting details that might have been traded back and forth.
Insanity check
Q: Is GOI a difficult to approach game with a moderately steep learning curve?
A: Yes
Q: Do the majority of the player base use the tools available to them to decrease the entrance level difficulty?
A: No
Q: Do players with increased ability to communicate with each other play together more often?
A: Yes
Q: Do a large majority of "veteran" players fall into this category?
A: Yes
Q: Does a steep learning curve, followed by rapid defeat turn new players off to the game?
A: Yes
We will do what every community of gamers have always done. Establish a core group of players who will form the perceived veteran core. It will be difficult for new, less experienced players to perform and play at this level.
The absolute best thing we can do for new players is...
List what you are going to do, to help. Let's be constructive, let's not nitpick, let's get something moving.

I wouldn't exactly say that "you guys" = everyone
"You guys" in this instance referred to, you know, the people who were nit-picking.
Nice try though

--- Quote from: Charon on March 07, 2013, 08:42:30 am ---Playing with a team is just about the only way to get a win in my time zone. I get nothing but Russians that respond with "Mother puck you" (the p is actually in there) when you try to communicate. Other than that, they have fun slamming into rocks and generally being worthless: I mean it, they actually videotape themselves playing like this and post the videos in video blogs where they're applauded for their worthlessness.

I have notices some Russians like playing bumper cars and cursing in English. Usually a double merc Pyramidion can net you some easy kills in that situation. Though your Russian teammate will be a bit confused as to why you are not playing bumper cars with the rest of them. I find having the following on a piece of paper next to your computer helps:
Left - slevo
Right - pravo
Front - speride
Back - zadni
Repair - patchine
Shoot - strelet
Hull - corpus
Balloon - shar
These probably aren't the best translations, and most Russians ask me to stop abusing their language, but it is only fair considering what they do to English.
