What are players thoughts on the progress of the game so far. As it stands now we are almost 6 months into alpha. How do you feel about the changes made in game since the start, what are changes you wish the devs would implement, and what are your thoughts for the future of the game.
In the last month whenever the people in my company get on to play the servers are empty or nearly so. This is almost always on prime playing times like 7-10 pm est on Friday or sat nights. To me this is a great concern as it means there are not enough people on to test any mechanics in the game. Many of the people in my company who were considering getting in on beta are backing off as they feel the direction of this game is taking it nowhere. We all had high hopes for game when alpha was released as the devs were constantly working on smoothing the game play and making it a better all round game. However, recently it feels like they are more concerned with the visuals and game mechanics that make it harder to get players on the servers, than in making the game more appealing for groups to get on and play. While we understand this is alpha and game mechanics will need to be tested creating conditions where servers are empty does not allow them to be tested. Our greatest fear with this current heading is that when the kickstarter funds have been exhausted the development of the game will cease.
Like or hate it this my companies opinion on the game as it stand at this time.
