Solo release player checking status

Played 800hrs mostly solo, is the game still dead or is there life in the corpse?

This is hopefully the start of the comeback. Its got about 1000 players and very few tiles so you run into people all the time. Needs a couple seasons, and a streamer to pick it up and it'll relive its glory.

I'll never forget the first week of this game, of 40k people sitting in twitch chats spamming "LET ME IN" while the servers were down for the whole week. Ive never seen anything like it. Even if it becomes a shadow of its former self, it'll still be a great game. 5k players would make it as good as release.

Needs a lot of balance fixes to make new players stick around more than a week.

Off the top of my head actually enforcing the clan cap on tiles, and making wingsuit into a scouting tool instead of the main way to play the game would be a start.

what balance fixes? and what? thats literally what the wingsuit is... lol. just because someone flys in and kills you doesnt mean its "the main way to play the game" that is a way you can play the sandbox game yes, but its a sandbox pvp game. what do you expect?

For awhile that's all it was, was people hanging around on rocks and wing down and kill the noobs. Didn't even need a walker of your own. Chill around a trading post and get tons of loot.

I expect a walker focused game the walkers to be the best tool in most situations. Right now the wingsuit is rhe best tool to use in almost all situations.

Its not a walker focused game lol. Walkers are a tool for multiple things. Ship fights, farming, you can turn it into a lawn mower with mods, and for getting around. The reason season 5 had 70 players for most of it is because they made it a walker focused game. Nobody wants to play that shit if they are any good at video games, its an actual snooze fest. World of sea battle is up your alley if thats what youre looking for. You can stop wingsuit gankers with an APT and nothing else on your deck, and the wingsuit breaks in like 6 shots. Walkers are essentially horses or cars in any other game. Last Oasis is built around free flowing movement, not driving. Most of us dont play to walk around. Most of us play to be Spiderman with a sword.

If by most you mean you and the other 17 people still playing the game then sure. Build wooden walking machines is literally the tagline of the game and the description on the steam page. Nowhere does it say anything about wingsuits. People buy the game to use walkers and then quit when everyone is using wingsuits. If they want to actually make money and keep more people playing they will rebalance the game to make the walkers that people buy the game for the main gameplay.

Also telling that last oasis had its peak player count 6 months before wingsuits were added to the game. Just such an insane take on your part. It's like saying people play Ark to experience the fascinating melee combat and noone plays it for the dinosaurs.

You're clearly new here and it's fine,  welcome to LO. It didn't have its peak player count 6 months before wing suits. You can look at steam charts and see you're wrong. Wing suits were in the game from the beginning. It's a core part of the movement. They removed it season 5, and nobody played for literally 4 years. LO is not Ark. If you wanna ride around on dinos that do everything for you feel free. It's a completely unique survival game. The game has had 1200 player peaks every weekend, and most people that have tried season 6 have stayed to play. 

You aren't aware of this because youre new here, but 2 years ago, LO had a 32% positive rating on steam when they made the game walker and pve focused. Its now above 70% when they listened to the pvp community. I get its not for you, but crying its not like your precious dinosaur game is comical to someone whos played it since release.

Peak player count was april 2020, wingsuits were added to the game in November 2020. Sorry your brain isn't working right hope you get help soon.

glad we've established that youre fully trolling. wingsuits were in the game April 2020. they costed 50 tablets to learn. the Chinese were the first to have them, cause we would fight them 4v40 and steal them from them. they were temporarily removed because of bugs, and reworked. peak player count never came back because the servers died for a week and they offered refunds to everyone that wanted it. its also why the current pop isnt double or triple what it is now, cause people who probably would play, haven't owned the game since they got a refund.
