The reviews won't be pretty.Guns of Icarus Alliance: PS4™ Edition is the ultimate player-vs-player, player-vs-environment, steampunk airship combat game, complete with an ongoing war between six elite factions vying for control of a world ravaged by machines. If a few hundred/thousand random gamers try the game because it looks cool and do nothing but die to our incredible veterans. The game, without some sort of intro, was wholly unable to keep him plugging away, even though I told him it'd take roughly two weeks to even feel comfortable, and to stick it out. And he's a vastly bigger fan of the BT franchise than I ever was. I showed him a few things a couple of weeks ago, and now he's doing multiple drops a day and getting better at a phenomenal rate. He tried a year ago, got slaughtered, frustrated, and quit. To illustrate, I recently convinced a buddy of mine to try MWO out again.

Otherwise, the only people who will stay are those hard core BT/MW aficionados, and most of them are probably already here. We're going to need a proper tutorial in order to retain players. These are things that can only be learned via trial and error over time because there isn't a tutorial. Some is fire discipline and heat management.

Some of it is piloting and getting used to the controls.

#Guns of icarus playerbase how to

A lot of that has to do with not knowing how to build a proper mech. I'll grant that isn't the measure of success, but when you're dying vastly more than you're killing.people aren't likely to stick around for very long. It took me MONTHS just to scratch my KDR above 1.0 after being deep in the negative (I sit at about 2.0 now). But it's an unforgiving game punishing, really. I loved this game from the minute I dropped in my crappy whatever it was like two years ago, and I think I've come a long way since. The new player experience is, as has been mentioned, atrocious. I don't know a lot about this Steam release other than I've heard/read that it's going to happen sometime in the future. Doubt I'll do it again.Įdited by Paddles McSquee, 28 July 2015 - 10:01 AM. Most people aren't gonna bother going through the work I did.

#Guns of icarus playerbase upgrade

Oh and then you learn you gotta get 3 of the same mech in order to upgrade your pilot skills to the next tier or whatever.that was a ball punch. Had to grind for days to get the 5+ million just to upgrade to a decent build I found online and the thing still kinda sucks. Also the damn thing overheats after like 10 seconds. Thought it came with ECM but nope, had to buy that too. Try killing something with a flamer and a med laser. I just bought a spider that came with only a flamer and a med laser cus ECM seemed like it was so important. Not exactly something you should expect from new players.Īlso new mechs are crap. Maybe a single player campaign first to teach people about builds, double heat sinks, etc? You've basically gotta google all your info and watch youtube vids. Yeah I wouldn't recommend this on Steam till they make it new player friendly.
