This game will be dead in 2 months
It's already starting. The slaughter fields. In a 5 vs 5 game the hardcore gamers are already just destroying the casuals and new players. No game with such a small group rarely succeeds. Well maybe...

Disagree.
Theres lots of console players and MMR will eventually separate people into brackets.... if Devs can release a patch to stop (or penalize) leaving.
Also the 5v5 or 5vAI helps keep lots of games going with a small population.
Flight simulators always have always been a niche genera - youre setting yourself up for disappointment if you think squadrons is going to explode.
Small, dedicated groups is what keeps games going... not filthy casuals that come and go.
Its already dead for much of the Oceanic community
You dunderheads with your blinders on and narcissim about what only affects you have helped that.
This game uses a PEER TO PEER connection model. Wtf do you think is happening to players outside the USA or Western Europe when they try to play multiplayer?
They get saddled onto a NA or European host with terribly high latency which is a death sentence in a game like this.
If youre complaining about dying a lot with no kills and youre not in the USA, chances are its not because you suck but because of the lag.
Im a good pilot. In most of my games im settling for a .25 k/d ratio. Its only that one gem in 5 where im getting 10-12 kills with only one death that stops me from throwing my monitor.
I havnt played the game in 3 days now after the initial hype wore off.
EA has refused to even acknowledge the latency issue or concede that P2P connection without region locks is a problem.
Just check when youre playing... If you line up an enemy repeatedly and do massive amounts of hits to them and they take zero dame....its not you, its the connection to the host
- @FURYBlakhart i wish i could just line up an enemy to attempt to do massive amounts of damage... my joystick won't let me do that as of yet.
That sucks. Im using a logitech x56 Hotas snd havnt had any issues as some have reported with Hitas.
Its a bit stiff, but overall the mechanics are ok. Pretty much what I expected from XvT and XWA.
I just cant get a decent multiplayer to save my soul.
Ive requested a refund through steam citing the game as a defective product unser Australian Consumer Law
On start this game there were 32 000 people playing in steam same time, but know 696 in steam playing same time!! The game allready died
If people leave, they leave, maybe they will be back once the issues are resolved maybe not. Lets enjoy the game where we can, hope for updates and lets stop focussing on the negative things. I really enjoy the game alot :-).
@AOD_TNT78i dont think anyone will have a problem coming back to it. I cant stand a lot of the game and fit quit which leaves me playing only a couple times a day, just to reconcile my differences. It leaves me frustrated and emotionally distraught, but I keep going back. Im thinking they are just leaving because of time they need to spend to get going and what little they get out of it, so if they do revive the game, Im sure everyone and more will return. If you look at the strong opening, thanks to the situation we had at launch you just had a mixed audience showing up and becoming disorientated to what kind of game it really was, since it wasnt quite a sim xwing alliance and wasnt quite an arcade rouge squadrons or galactic assault, yet took the squadrons series name with the studios that brought us galactic assault to cause drama. You just cant keep a good game down though as this and many other games have prooven already and it has a chance to redeem its self especially at the moment, especially since its a star wars game and the force doesnt die. .
@deniskamirwell, I know one thing, they need to take down the timed respawn to five seconds. Unless you kill your own team mate, then thirty seconds, which Im not sure you can not do, but you should be able to. Theres just no reason for it.
- @deniskamir it's dead.
