Alright, I have decided after seeing this patch. As not a single discussed comment were heed or listened by en masses at all. What happened to their promises of Great Games, Great Service—Creating Long-Lasting Quality Relationships?
See you guys in Kurtzpel if ever.

Read. Also have fun in kurtzpel, most bland game ever.

Discuss the latest patch here!

• Tons of Tina events, like log in rewards, tokens, and leveling boxes!
• Brand new costumes, plus discounts on returning costumes!

Read the Patch Notes here!

Normal WG can drop 1 or 2 bugs. Even though the percent chance that you get 1 is kind of low ( it's like 80/20). Meanwhile WGOC is 100% drop 2 bugs. Accessories and wings also have chance to drop in WGOC.

I disagree that they should advertise the game in it's current state.
There was a thread on the forums that expressed how hard it was to get their friend to play this game.

Main issue is that the road to get to the content that matters and finally start playing with others takes far too long. For new players who start this game their first impressions will be:

• Solo play
• Rinse & Repeat Quests
• Re-run dungeons
• Lonely

My friends got me to play and I only committed because I played in KR long time ago and knew how fun Closers is. However, I was the only one out of 4 friends who made it to the end. Everyone else stopped at around Han High School.

It would be good to check retention rates and collect data to see where the most new player drop off is. I'm sure En Masse already does this and is sharing with the developers on ways to improve new player experience.

New player and returning player events are nice temporary solutions and definitely something En Masse can do. However, creating a marketing budget for Closers as it is right now may not be for the best until the game sees some core content progression overhaul.

@Hime What I said is not out of the topic.
explains one thing then, what would they gain by announcing the closers being that the community is toxic?

or did you not see the video commentary on the season 3 that the en masse put on youtube? good part of the comments are negative rises game.

What you said (and just did once more in the above post)was off-topic as again, it had nothing to do with the topic of simply advertising the game, which in your view was Server Merge, Bai, and as you dub them "Closet Fanboys". Why does the Serve Merge, Bai, and "Closet Fanboys" taking place equate to the community being toxic, and thus have no reason to advertise the game? People wanting EME to advertise Closers has been requested for a long time now, starting back to midway of OBT - which was long before any of the three factors you've pointed out even existed.

I believe when others agreed with OP that they need to advertise the game, it wasn't via their usual MMO packages giveaways such as MMORPG.com, posting (not advertising) on Facebook and Twitter regarding latest news, and a few Youtube videos, but rather actual advertisements that one would see on the left or right side of their screen. When a company advertises their game, it's because they want to attract players to the game, not because they shouldn't even bother because someone may view their community as "toxic".

As spoken earlier, there are already threads to discuss 2/3 things that you've spoken about. I'm not saying you can't talk about them on the forums, but rather this thread is not the place to discuss them. If you would like to continue your talks there, by all means, go ahead.

I'll say this once more, as I really don't want to close down this topic as I think there's very good points to advertising any game, but in this exact case Closers. However, should off-topic discussion continue then I would have no choice. I will not be asking again.

This is not the thread to discuss those topics. Please do it elsewhere.
