    I’m kicking myself for not hopping back into the game when 1.0 dropped after seeing the numbers it was pulling. Hopefully with more global support in season 4 the player count can grow again. I need more fellow iron players to queue with lol

    • @Adritoma

    @Liawdd Před 5 měsíci +32

    I stopped just a bit after they deleted solos and made trios the new main mode.. Solos is really what got me into the game a few yrs back.. for me it was what made erbs a lot more different. Queue solo, play, you die you get better next game and eventually get really good at the game if you get into it.
    Just my opinion though I know some people love squads, have fun yall

    • @Adritoma

    • @mazuurekii
      @mazuurekii Před 5 měsíci

      you've described exactly how the game feels for me. the loop of play - lose - quit - queue again, teaches you a lot about the game and is one of the reasons I loved the learning curve when playing solos.

  • @toxicdermyillunary4103
    @toxicdermyillunary4103 Před 5 měsíci +7

    For anyone scared to try squad, I swear to God you'll love it.
    I'm not a confident guy so I just play cobalt when solo is removed. Looting, crafting, pathing with a team is a pressure to me so I'm just too afraid if I suck balls. But I Really want my Haze swimsuit (fr) so since all the bp mission is achievable in normal I eventually try it. And NO, no one really expect all that much from you, just play normally, walk with them whenever you can. Especially since I'm casual, it's really great. I don't see toxicity all that much and you can just enjoy the game even if someone cheese you Day 1 or 2, you'll be back at it again.

      @Drosba Před 5 měsíci +1

      @@Adritoma I'm going to be honest, not a great experience coming back so far. The changes seem fun but I didn't even get to play the game. I play in EU and login in I wanted to play solo, only to find out that the solo mode had been deleted. From that point onwards I knew what awaited me, in EU even finding games as solo was hard. I hate with all my soul playing in squad, especially as a new or returning player, but I love the game, so I wanted to give it a try. After a few hours of queue, the player counter only moved to 2/24 once, for a few seconds, probably someone in the same situation as me loging in, seeing 2/24 and being like: nope, alt + F4. I know it's ranked, but I don't like to be dominated by some pro players playing normals, I want to play with people in a similar level, to the extent possible. I will sadly have to pass from now.
      After finding out about the solo mode removal I watched your videos about the topic, and I think the same as some comments, it's the worst decision they could have ever made, they could have removed squad mode since it needed more players and the game doesn't have a player base big enough for that.
      I'll continue to watch your videos, but I'll miss the solo play even in them.
      I hope a random meme pops up somewhere and the game picks enough players for it to resurrect, but for now it even suprises me that the game is still alive.
      Thank you for replying, btw.

    I hope they add new maps centered around a certain theme. Lumia can be the OG/normal map then maybe they can add a map a futuristic map in the style of cobalt's map, then m maybe a circus map etc. It just feels like something that'll really spice up the game for more casual players having different maps to play around which maybe can help bolster the game's playerbase.

    @LesageSinging Před 3 měsíci +2

    I'm a new player. I'm in love with this game in a way I haven't been since counter strike or even SC2/WC3. I was a top of ladder NA player in wc3 and masters league every season I played in SC2.
    There is so much potential here. My one gripe is that I'm struggling with the team modes. The engagements can feel hopeless/chaotic, but that's also just any team game when you start out/are bad.
    I really hope this game can live a healthy life. I personally don't need it to be a smash hit. I just don't want it to go away. It's a gem.
    Also, nothing outlines my lack of friends than a team game :(

    • @Adritoma
      @Adritoma  Před 3 měsíci

      Yeah you would have loved solos! But I will say it’s day and night between ranked and norms!

Season 4 should be big for it!

  • @hOFalt
    @hOFalt Před 5 měsíci +8

    How I see it is that solos is more fun for some people while trios means fun for more people. Can't play a support character in a solos focussed game and playing full tank just doesn't feel right if there's nothing to protect behind the wall that is you. That's a lot of players you're leaving behind if you don't make these play styles a core aspect of your game. So, as a company trying to rope in new players, it was the most logical move to pivot their focus. Also a complete no-brainer when you consider that other successful BRs do exactly that.

But man, season 3 is just gonna be a season 4 waiting room for me, the weather system looks like it'll be so much fun.
    I also hope that they will continue to experiment with moving objectives around for each season, it's a hopefully easy way to keep things feeling fresh without having to change much, and I'm already looking forward to the fights that will happen around the indoor spawns for alpha/omega.

    i think the biggest issue of the game is marketing.
    At 1.0 launch, they were supposed to show it off on the frontpage of steam, but then didnt (my speculation is that they didnt wanna compete with, for example, Baldurs Gate 3)
    But seeing how they keep saying that season 4 will be the season they start more marketing in the west, i am hopefull.

    Eternal Return has always been a soft spot in my heart, all the way back in Black Survival days (where I had zero clue what I was doing). I don't want this game to die, its very much a fun experience, but the game is losing playerbase. Season 4 seems to be what I hope puts that game back in the map, and I very much love spreading the talk about this game, their characters (and their designs) and how fun it is and could be.

    I´m a fan of battle royales, but never had any luck in those either. After some searching on Steam I stumbled upon Eternal Return and having a blast so far!
    Looking at this comment section, there are quite many new players beside me that share the same love for this game. The planned changes sound very nice, but I hope the devs also focus more on the marketing part. Too many great games died due to lackluster advertising so hopefully the game makes an "eternal return" indeed!

    I had a blast with season 1, but once Tsubame arrived it really dulled my want to continue. It seems like every new character release comes with -everything-. A shield, lifesteal, untargetables, huge aoe, cooldown refreshes. It felt quite literally impossible to escape with certain characters.
    Solos shouldn't come back because the game balance would tank. As someone who played in early access, supports were an instant loss (I play Priya, I should know). The game feels like it's having an identity crisis especially with crafting; it's the legacy of immortal soul yeah, but it's also the biggest hurdle for new players.

Due to the lack of advertising, there are no players in the game = disgusting matchmaking = inability to play on the European server in the ranked queue at any time except in the evening. I hope that the game dies as soon as possible because all that is happening at the moment is mockery of people. The developers should be ashamed.

Solo is just easier to jump into. I came back after a 2 year break and it seems like it has the same issues it used to have back then :/ imo they need to pull all ressources into a huge marketing push to bring new players in. people want to feel like their queues will pop at any time of the day and not just during ungodly hours.

    I agree with you, the game is fine. The best they can do to retain casuals is to make their casual games worth playing. I think the game is waaaaaaaay too stingy with things like skins and earning in game currency that actually matters. Literally just give people the ability to unlock at least 3 random skins a month without having to dedicate their lives to the game and the casuals will stay.
    The game is a lot of fun and they've already done enough to lower the skill ceiling so that it is enjoyable to everyone.

    Stopped playing the game early season 2 because squads is genuinely just so unfun for certain characters and character balancing was atrocious. But I think I the long run this game hopefully does well because it really is a fun good game. I’m planning on maybe coming back around when Katja comes out (she looks amazing design wise) ((bring back solos, it was so nice being able to improve without having to worry about fighting 1v3s or wondering if mistakes were because of teammates etc.)) good video! Looking forwards to the future!

I will back if Solos are back, but I ain't gonna play with random people that have no clue what are they doing... (Literally one Player going over to us, oneshoting two of my teammates because they are very slow with completing their build, then I win 1v1 and get my teammates back, but jeez it's annoying as hell. Solos are better.)

    I just started playing the game again. Last time I played was like Echion’s release and he is by far my favorite (I missed Echion’s Cadet skin and I’m hella salty). I was reading some of the changes and thought they would be underwhelming cause I’ve always had an issue picking this game back up cause I’d practice my routes for 10-20hrs have some fun. Then balance changes would hit and id have to do it all over again. But the new loadouts, starting items, the droning for items, and the kiosks have made picking up the game again a blast. If feels like you can play flex so much more, and there isnt only one right answer now. Cause before there was only one optimal game plan to secure all the valuable resources, 1 farm route, get wik, then snowball the final zone. But now the late-game items are being crafted so much more often it feels like there are just more good fights. Before it felt like when I got my route down I would just stat check every1 (they were all just +1) except the last like 2 teams because I was so far ahead cause I practiced my route so much. It was kinda boring. My reward for being optimal was having to wait 20min to get to the last zone to actually have a good fight. Now every team I run into at least gets to play the game. I’m having a blast. I think ur downplaying the crafting changes. They are some great quality of life, the game feels much more polished now to a returning player.

    • @Adritoma
      @Adritoma  Před 3 měsíci

      The crafting changes I mention in the video are pretty minor but adds to the whole picture you described. I agree crafting changes feel good and 90% of these happened at 1.0 release or before but there’s no way for you to know that if you haven’t played since echion release

    If an issue is the low player count (since other popular battle royale games don't struggle with this), WHAT IF we had a PvE gamemode for teams of 3? What if you could drop in with your squad and do a bunch of silly chaotic objectives while different modifiers switch out between plays/rounds? I have hope this game can cook, but I think enticing casual players with a non-compeditive gamemode sounds like practice for eventually taking on the chaos that is norms!

    As someone french (i play since early 2020), big french streamers from League of Legends (CEO of KC, Nisqy the pro player, and their friends) played the game and added a hype (maybe some hundred new players but you know, when others see a game growing they join). But in the end they left the game after 1 month which is pretty sad.

    I played during beta right around the time my friends stopped playing, somehow I'm able to hook them back to the game after 1.0, with me still being more confident with any ranged characters, ever since I found out I'm doing really well with melee characters, I've been enjoying ER even more, the only problem for me as of 2023-2024 was the release of Kenneth because he's literally destroying everyone that gets close to him and my main is Estelle, good thing he's a little less scary now
    For the future, I just hope they will have maybe Hong Kong or Singapore server, SEA players like me is in a hell called SEA Internet where you can even pay the more expensive internet and it's still won't give you 50-60ms ping to anything outside SEA

    @chuchubag Před 5 měsíci +2

    As it is, the game is already fun and has a good baseline. The problem is they have no advertising outside of KR. Even just the servers themselves, it's a pain playing on constant 100 ping if you're outside of KR but you can only play in Asia. That said, they're adding back Asia 2 but that will bring back the problem of splitting the playerbase. Back when we started in late 2021, Asia 2 was still a thing but was facing the same problems as you guys had: no queues. They need to either focus their resources on upgrading their servers or try to reach a more global audience. As far as I can tell, even their advertising in KR is spearheaded by content creators. It baffles me to have not seen a single ad for ER, not even an ad on the side of a website. Like, come on, they made all these good booba skins but can't even put them to good use. I remember that one video of the character screen glitch that showed Hyejin's heart prints (?) and it went viral. I also remember them promising EA S9 to be a season of stabilizing and marketing... and, well. Yeah, we see where it took us. I'm honestly not expecting much from NN's marketing team at this point.
    But, that's that. I'm hyped AF for the new support items and the new Mythic tier items as well as all the map changes for a more dynamic gameplay. I'm still hoping S3 and S4 will bring in more players to the game. Eternal Return to the moon.
