we are still in beta. This game is a beta version that needed to be sold for 60 bucks

The game is boring. Doesn’t matter how good or bad player you are. Just go play other games.

If you don’t like the game, I don’t have a problem with that. What’s the issue? Not a fan of people with different opinions? :slightly_smiling_face:

I stopped playing because the balance is trash, and it has boring gameplay. Haven’t tried it since the new patch, it’s not a terrible game I just don’t find it that interesting and I like other age games better

I stopped playing because the balance is trash and because the patches we got so far didn’t adress it at all.

you took the words right out of my mouth :joy: :joy:

People moaning about toxicity while being toxic kinda deserve criticism. You’d agree with me if I was criticising someone who likes the game, which is half the problem here, right?

If someone stops playing the game because they don’t like it, that’s cool. If someone claims forum posters being toxic drove players away . . . while also being arguably toxic . . . they’d better be ready for people to question that.

People being toxic are a problem, regardless of where that toxicity is aimed. Don’t excuse it just because it’s aimed at people who like the game :slightly_smiling_face:

I don’t think players were driven away because people on the forum said their opinions didn’t matter, players left because the game just isn’t that fun to play most of the time. And there are people on both side in the wrong. The side that doesn’t like the game just sits here and trashes it for no reason sometimes, and there are people who like it that will defend the game even when people bring up legitimate complaints and tell them fine don’t play. Neither side is completely right

I left because I saw nothing in AoE4 that AoE2/AoE3 don’t have. The few things it does have are unfortunately, not very useful in a game. You’d think they would be really cool, but they aren’t. Like the wall mechanic and the stealth forests which simply arent that required at my skill level.

The civs were too alike on the military front. Economies were different but managing the economy isn’t the most exciting part of AoE. Managing diverse armies is, at least for me.

There was too much focus on competitive gameplay - even the maps are barebones with no flora and fauna apart from sheep, deer and trees. The maps don’t look inviting. They feel like lifeless arenas where you’re playing a game, not immersive at all.

Campaign missions were boring. There was no immersive dialogue in the missions that made me hooked in the story. The documentaries were cool tho. Also, none of the 35 missions are memorable, I’ll never play an AoE4 campaign mission ever again.

Skirmish AI is really bad, doesn’t put up a fight. I am a skirmish only guy so I guess I can eff off.

UI is bad. I couldn’t ungarrison units one at a time from any building.


 that is mostly all of the reasons.

I can guarantee that most ppl that here are just ex players, veteran players or player that want to join aoe 4 but the current the state of the game is so lame that push them away.

Well this starts to get annoying. Im the 1745 elo. Its not relaly fun for those who are low to get such unfair match. If something this is pushing me more and more over the edge

ostia colega! eso se ve super injusto mmm

Yeah that’s it most likely. I’ve played lots of RTS 17 years ago, didn’t touch any computer for gaming purposes since then until I’ve played AoE4 on a friends computer during the stresstest. Really thought this could be a good game and tried to get into it but stopped being active in february as the game just felt too repetitive with lack of micro and matches tended to become longer and longer resulting in static situations. With recent patch changes I don’t feel like getting back to it.

So you think players drove away cause they read negative comments in forums? Lol

Some.peoole think the game is trash, is a valid assumption, I personally don’t think the game is trash, it is close to it, but for instance DOW lll is trash for me and manyyyy players and you know that for sure, so what’s the issue? It seems that you enjoy addressing negative comments and you can’t stand people that don’t like the game.

Far too few players look at the forums for them to have any impact on the player numbers.

The hook simply wasn’t sharp enough to nab on the first bite. The net had too many holes to reel them all in. Somebody forgot to throw in more chum when the forum sharks came around.

I’m still waiting for bigger badder elephants.

The game needs more content, more game mods, world map like total war, new civilizations and stuff like this to keep players back. Small balance changes and new features for the competitive players will not bring players back or new players. Big price tournaments not make the game better.

The person I was replying to said toxic forum behaviour was driving people away.

Kinda feels like you’re misrepresenting my posts here.

I waited nearly 20 minutes today to find a 4v4 co-op game against AI before giving up. I’ve mostly found games pretty quickly, but if it becomes more common to not find a game within a few minutes, that will start to prevent me from playing the game.

It wouldn’t be as bad if you could play while queuing, like you can in some other games. It could let you choose a civ, view the tech tree, and play in a “free play” mode where you’re at least practicing the build you intend to use.

Call me whatever you like. I had a lot of expectations and was waiting for some indigenous/influential Indian civilisation and not invader Delhi Sultanate. I woulnd’t be part of something that has its glorification. Which it doesnt deserve in first place. Dunno who designed this game, must be a pro islam. The fact that this game was able to sell I feel was due to legacy set by AOE2 and 3. When you see this game dying out slowly after some time you know it has not been developed on a satisfactory level.
