    Thank you for featuring my gameplay throughout the end :) really well put video, but I want to add a few things:
    - the latest update was last August, which brought the new map. Another patch was supposed to follow suit, but has been paused as;
    - the entirety of Reforged has been maintained mostly by 2 - yes, two - developers, occasionally with some help from the Paladins team. Both of the develpers have been sent to work on other Hi-Rez games which is slowing updates even further.
    - the game currently gets around 50k players a week, steamcharts numbers have been very inaccurate for a long time now
    Once again, great video! :)

    I played realm royale, from its launch to its downfall and then to its atempt of beggining again and then going cold, the game was everything the public wanted back in 2018, an original battle royale, then hi rez proceeded to fumble the biggest bag ever and step on it, if the game fell in the hands of a good company i bet it would be thriving to this day, i suggest looking into spellbreak, its another fantasy battle royale that was very cool but eventually failed, theres also an voxel mmorpg called Trove that i think would be interesting getting into.

    my first game was awful, game lagged so much due to my laptop specs, so i just stopped after first try.
    Next time, however, was better, even tho it was after all of these updates, in 2018. It was somewhat fun to play and have a chat with frends in game, but after some time game became boring, we learned all effective strats (which is just any weapon with fire element) and began to come up with unusual strats, for example - assasin's invis + minigun from drop. And even with that game was pretty boring, we used it just to talk and play something chill.
    Reforged update took from us every unique ideas we came up and give us same problems - legendary is imbalanced, warriors are the best, best-in-slot builds.
    Also we joked that anything named "reforged" is already doomed to fail because of controversial warcraft III reforged update

  • @stiw91
    @stiw91 19 днів тому

    It’s funny and sad how consistently hi-rez drives their games into the ground. With one of their most recent games Divine Knockout, they dissolved the development team in a company restructuring because all they care about is Paladins and Smite. They couldn’t ruin it with updates because they barely had the chance to. The only good thing is that they have no plans to turn off the servers despite it being unprofitable (which is their own fault since they barely marketed the game. They didn’t even announce when the game became free to play (it was $25 USD before)).

Sorry, but the supply at the time far outmatched the demand. And we're talking Live-Service model ffs, you need a steady and decently large playerbase that pays for MTX for that shit.
