Hopefully they get their act together soon and promote the game. I really want it to do well, but as you say let’s see what happens after the ‘big update’ in september. I’m not holding my breath over it, as I have little faith that they will advertise the game. On a side note though, they probably need to work on the new player experience to retain any new players that do come to the game. Coaxing the vets away from T2 and T3 will go a long way, but will be hard to do.
While I would love for them to advertise to bring in more players, this won’t do anything if we can’t get player retention to increase. Think about it metaphorically in terms of nerdy SC Shield mechanics: what good does it do for us to boost our shield volume if we don’t do anything to increase its resistance to damage?
If the problems that keep turning players away are not fixed or addressed, or heck, even available for discussion (game economy *cough* *cough*), then any new players we gain through advertising will leave. If they leave highly unsatisfied, suddenly you have negative advertisement (word of mouth) where these players tell their friends that Star Conflict is a waste of time and not fun. Fat lot of good that money will have been if that happens.
Player count might help populate the game world, but it does not a better game make. The intermittent server issues that have been occurring lately will not be fixed by more players. The game progression model will not improve with more players. And sadly, Tiers 4 and 5 will not suddenly become popular just because there are more players (those tiers are the most expensive, and honestly most new players won’t last that long).
If your current veteran population is avoiding Tier 4 and 5, most likely it isn’t only because of low population. And if you can’t convince your current vets that your endgame tiers are worthwhile, good luck trying to convince all those fresh-faced new players to put in all that work.
pilot numbers around 1500 at daytime in europe and night aprox 400 are the probs many do face in from “horrible” que times. this should be fixed soon as 400 is kind of “deadline” which does decide if long time pilots do play another game.
CHECK world of warships. dumb and annoying game but with 30000 users a day in beta. they know how to populate f2p. good and low cost made trailers with explantions and history of ships in game.introduction in all ship roles and weapon types, modules in 7 min trailers for each ship type/role. these trailers ares shown all over in game media in web.mostly on good poulated sites. good advertisement for sure as future pilots can see what the game is and not only nice rendered “non reality” content.
simple example. but check web for wow. u fill find much similar advertisements.
ads can be copied 1:1 the way they function. as both are f2p and include ships(even if dif kind) would not cost much do cut some ingame battle scenes and make a little video tutorial in trailer form. all ships in wow are in similar way shown in diff trailers. also about game mechanics info could not be wrong in sc case.would lower complaints in chat.
bother all populated game medias worldwide with and ask them to publish. if not rdy for, ask wht the price is. should be little as is not meaning about sc which is tried to be changed but knowledge about. this game does not need knowledge about how good it is.would be enough if some more do know that there is a game kind of sc.
if still nighttime such pilot numbers sc is soon dead. somewho is just killing a real potencial cash cow. world of warships has 30000 daily pilots. use some $ and test the way of wow publisher in issue of “advertisements.” 2 weeks later 5000 users. 6 weeks later min 10000-15000. am sure of it. Sc will better than ever populated if done.
thx.

I think he has a point…u must make it easy to get into the game. SC has to many problems early on.
U must be able to play with friends from the start.
U must be able to get into game within one minute.
Also people will be lost on changing tiers. In T2 the razor tackler is a terrible thing. Who invented that ship?
U invented this old system that rated pilots power rather good, the one before pilot rating. Use it! Lower good players attack and defence power in relation to their skill in T2.
I have nothing against this kind of promotion, especially not on AngryJoeShow on YouTube channel, but why didn’t you do the same for Star Conflict?
Not a single mention of it. Like it doesn’t exist.
It is understandable, that this event was meant for War Thunder, but still, Gaijin itself is in charge of promotion for Star Conflict as well and it had plenty of opportunities to promote it, since was already officially released.
If you plan, among other things, to do so in the September of 2015, as a part of your “big scheduled event”, it would be really nice and smart thing to do.
This is something Star Conflict lacks. Star Conflict has very few promotional YouTube channels, not to mention very few press accounts. War Thunder has quite a few promotional accounts and press accounts (like AngryJoeShow, PhlyDaily, and Baronvongamez, to name a few).
Star Conflict needs to give out some more press accounts (especially to EU/US pilots), so that more people can learn about the game through the videos produced on these accounts.
Even TotalBiscuit’s WTF is… has been outdated for years. Though his fundamentals are accurate, we need a more recent review of this game.

I must agree. This review is no longer valid and it is vastly outdated. There should be another review of this game, preferably after autumn big update with all new content, which includes new maps, scenarios, standard or premium ships and all Secret Projects.

Here we can still see the old server counter and old Mark 3 system, which unlocked, once you reached a certain rank.
We await the update 1.2.0.
We are also hoping, that all promises will be fulfilled, when it comes to promotion in September.
If developers have any questions, they can also post them here or PM me.

What is the source of this? And what does “playtime” mean?

Steamspy
So, we got ourselves the “new” DLCs.
Steam’s Store “new” DLCs list:
Total (Steam) cost in EUR: 144,93€ (total price)
Gaijin’s Shop “new” DLCs list:
Total (Gaijin) cost in EUR: 152,93€ (total price)
I do not know what to think of this.
Wow those prices… For one ship… But then again it doesn’t change much, since GS is expensive also

True.

You don’t know wargamming right? 60 € for a Tirpitz, which is not even top tier!
Prices are all right imho. The Razor one is a good way to introduce people to the game.
Considering the price on GS and the price on the premium license, they are cheaper now than when they were in the tech tree.

Yeah, but it’s just a shock when presented to you like this! 20 euros for one ship 
I could buy 3 pizzas for that price!

Sure, you could buy 3 pizzas or pay a dinner for two in your local chinese restaurant. But if you consider that, you would never buy anything software related.
And tbh, 3 pizzas will be nourishment for 1 or 2 days. The ship can provide lots of hours of fun.
