i think focusing on development right now and doing more player outreach during the f2p launch makes more sense to me

Countblanc posted:Yeah just silence, mostly. Twitch wasn't quite the behemoth it is now so not getting streamers on board was pretty excusable, but short of the launch on Steam I can't remember any fanfare period. It didn't help that there was basically zero response from SLS about the whole "why should I play yet another moba?" misconception. seems easy to fix really then throw EA all hero packs or skins or whatever as giveaways on twitter and twitch, gifts to streamers, promote competitive as A Thing, start supporting the inevitable amateur tournaments that are gonna pop up on reddit or whatever, engage with the consumers and it'll do fine Radical posted:i think focusing on development right now and doing more player outreach during the f2p launch makes more sense to me they could do both, even. is SLS really hurting for manpower?

Rafza posted:i wasn't around for the tail end of BLC, what did they do (or not do) for it to die? just a lack of promotion or what A few big stand-out reasons: - It was published by FunCom. There was little to no advertising and navigating the website/registration process was an absolute nightmare. - The original pricing scheme was ridiculous. The $100 "Titan" edition didn't even include all the champs, if I remember correctly. The game was optionally Free to Play from the start but the prices of unlocking anything via in-game currency were punitive. Earning enough to unlock even a single champion took dozens and dozens of hours. - In a move designed to reinvigorate the game, they added medallions and traits which are similar to LoL's system, unlockable minor attribute boosts. Without going into a lot of detail, they were not good for the game. - The game's small playerbase was self-reinforcing. New players would jump in and find themselves up against people who had been playing it for years.

Ok if they're paying Lirik to play this game they might actually have a marketing plan. That's good.
