Toribash; What needs to be fixed.
I wanted to create this discussion thread, after a lot of reading about peoples opinions on how Toribash needs to be fixed. All of this is from what I have read and personal opinion, please do not attack me personally if you don't agree. I feel that making one thread for everyone to post their constructive criticism might catch better attention.
Advertisement. This game has very poor advertisement. As from what I have read, multiple readers believe that the revenue made from the game, from people buying items from the ToriShop with cash, is in no way whatsoever going towards advertisement. I believe this to be true, as I haven't seen a single advertisement for Toribash, literally anywhere. If at all possible, Hampa needs to pick up on advertisement, or whoever the Hell gets the revenue from this game.
More regular updates. No, I don't personally count adding more colorful shit to the game to be the best of updates. Some might agree, some might not. When the community asks for an update, they don't really mean "add a few colors and, like, a command".. We mean something actually knew. Something that would attract attention, possibly bring back older players at the word of "Toribash got this sick update and...". There have been a few game changing ideas I have seen in the Suggestion Thread, that seemed eligible for use.
Staff. In my personal opinion, this game needs more staff. The current staff do an excellent job, with what they have. The huddled up 5 of them in the corner, against all the scam reports, player reports, rigging reports, tournaments they get begged to host, etc. Very much respect to them, for we all know that it's time consuming. So I propose some more staff be added, taking the load off of all 7 or whatever ES we've got.
More new-user friendly. When a new player joins, they get this little tutorial on how to do a few moves in singleplayer. Fantastic, they can now extend their knee. Now what? They go into, for instance, a quick aikido server. Now Ezalor is literally buttfucking them with snap kicks and lifts, while they consistently extend and contract their knee, like the tutorial said. The beginning tutorial should, instead, thoroughly explain how all the joints work. Everything from ankles to neck. Throw scenarios at them after explaining a few joints that require them to save themselves using the joints they were just taught how work. Give them a stronger feel for the game. Then, give them a prompt or something asking "would you rather fight uke, or join fellow new comers in a public match?" And off that, throw them into SP or throw them into a random Beginner server. Just a random thought on the spot, but something like that would appeal to new players.
An engine overhall. Yes, the development team is small. Yes, it costs money, but YES, it can be done. From what I have read, again, the current engine is shit -snip-. Apparently, we can't have 2v2 matches because of the current engine. From what I know, Hampa is out partying with strippers with the money he's got off this game. If possible, reach out to him and say "the community you built is dying -snip-.. help?". With an engine overhall, from what I have read, would allow for a lot of possibilities. 4 players, more movement types, higher resolution textures, better optimized, etc.
The new ranking system. Now, this is controversial, as this entire thread is filled with controversial topics. I remember seeing moop mention how this ranking system was implemented way too soon, and then hampa relied on all the staff to fix it. I don't know if that was moop, but someone mentioned that. What I suggest is reverting to the old ranking system, finish developing this one, and switching it out again. I think this new one was a good idea but poorly implemented, as many agree. Now people like Ezalor can just farm Rank 1 from noobs and get the prize.
A less toxic community. I know those of you that know me from when I joined are saying "wow, what a hypocrite". Yes, I was the most toxic, cancerous piece of shit, but I've changed. Anyways, we need to work towards a less toxic community. Respond to those that are toxic with something positive, try and lighten things up. We don't need to respond with negativity. I do it sometimes, we are all guilty of it. It's just a goal we all need to accept and attempt to achieve. A lot of "i quit" posts are people complaining about the toxicity. As a group, a community, as friends, whatever it is to you, let's all just try and be a less toxic community.
Looking for more thoughts. Add a well structured comment to this, make this something that can be noticed. We're getting nowhere by making snide comments about the game in small "Suggestion Thread" posts. Sorry if this has already been made, but I wanted to make my points valid stated.
EDIT* I am aware the majority of this will most likely not happen. I just wanted to say what I thought was wrong, and wanted to see what others thought.
