SKULL.GIF posted:I remain somewhat strongly convinced that a huge portion of this game struggling is simply because nerds don't have any experience playing sports (let alone field-ball sports) at all so they come into this completely naked and flabbergasted. Really though they could have smoothed this "I dont understand theory of hit ball but i do understand moba pewpew cooldown trading" problem over with a charming VN style tutorial, with a coach talking to juliette "hey remember your corestrike theory such as DONT REDIRECT THE BALL TOWARDS ENEMY FORWARDS and THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU SEND THE BALL and DONT STAND ON TOP OF YOUR GOALIE, TRUST THEM TO DO THEIR JOB" and juliette would go like "Sheesh coach im not a STUPID NOOB" which would communicate to all the league gamers that not being aware of these concepts turns you into a stinky noob, magically nudging them towards becoming Sports Gamers

Gamers don't deserve video games. More seriously I figure no small part is just the inherent riskiness of FTP models combined with the fact that, honestly, OS is too nice for that model. Way too much loving craftsmanship, not enough cheap recolors or dubiously legal gambling. Mostly I'm just sad that we got a really adventurous, interesting game, with lots of charm and character and love and fun, and it just kind of petered out. What a shame. e: Another note is that I'm also thinking about some other MP games I play and OS seems to have shared a fate with some other less-successful ones: if you can't achieve a critical mass of hardcore players, the ranking system starts to death spiral. Top tier players start smurfing just so they can get matches, lower level players find themselves constantly stomped, etc. You need some fairly high amount of engagement for the stratification system to stabilize and sustain, and if you fall below that then people just start disengaging.

I think the whole "gamers don't know how to sports" is only slightly true. Most, if not all MOBAs have really janky obtuse mechanics, but players take the time to learn them through other players / youtube /etc. And positioning is already a super key component of MOBAs, so it's not like that fanbase will be incapable of grasping those concepts.

MOBAs have always struggled with tutorializing their complex mechanics, and Omega is sadly no different.

Unironically I actually think its fixed. I applied the same fix to the special and it worked too well and I had to pull it out cause it let you insta farm max energy and I was worried about performance. Cause they just hit between each other insanely fast. Truly made unstoppable force vs immovable object xdd lol

Jack Trades posted:SO I WASN'T CRAZY?! Yeah Barrier Beam has been buggy for most of the game's run, specifically that one of the things its supposed to do (and that I got really used to back when it worked) was that it stops the core if the core touches its hit box at any point in its animation. In theory that is still supposed to happen but it only works like 75% of the time which is enough that you think you understand how it works but then it fails too frequently for you to actually count on it. As that patch note indicates, they do not know what is causing this.
