I came back yesterday after two years of not playing. The community used to be so great. Whenever you defeated a player, they would clap or give a thumbs up. Now they just curse at you and throw their headsets off. The only reason I'm going to continue playing is because I just love the monk class. It's not super exploitable so it demonstrates actual skill, plus it looks awesome from an orbital replay perspective.

i also just came back after a few years and i had a few bad experiences with players but the worst part is that i can barely ever even find a player that's online or in my playlist so i usually end up playing against the AI.

[@TheSkullBoy]

dawg who are you getting because everyone i meet is nice and respects one another

[@ThirdUnknown]

Same here came here 2 years later then I just started using monk because it's fun to use and not super op

[@dillondavault3140]

i chose samurai because i just like samurai culture and didnt even know that it was meta at the time lmao other than that this is all true unfortunately

[@GokuMan3000]

i got 80 million power in rise of kingdoms, top 10 in the server.

It isn't just pros that are quitting- its regular players too 😔😔

My favorite class is dualist

[@Gryphon_2006]

Every single time, whenever there's a multiplayer video game or a video game that happens to have a multiplayer feature, there's always meta that's soon to be discovered, and then it just ruins the fun of any online video game. Any more, and this terrible concept might just outright ruin most video games forever. It's seriously tiring to try and find some way around meta that just requires an unnecessary amount of effort just so you can have fun.

I like the spoon

[@colleeniborbeeni2902]

me too man

[@thebomber11]

Personally I love the meta. I play duelist and my favorite matches are against champions. Refreshing your weapon fast is key yeah, but brute forcing won't get you any wins. Also if they feint and you keep falling for it you need to fix your defense, you're leading too much, your movements need to be more precise and ready to change direction at anytime

[@SearPlatypus851]

I just started playing again and people are so unsportsmanlike which is not what I remember. People complain about how it's the classes fault

[@JackBongos]

So THAT'S why.

[@Kprince713]

I still play

[@Inbetweener2]

IMO the duelist needs to be nerfed, because as a duelist main, he's way too fast. If they wanted to keep him fast I would nerf his damage a little so that the speed is actually called for

[@Snow_edits67]

When ever i was on there was 13 players 😭😭

[@DonZeneli]

when its day there is 13 players max, when its night there is 0, the game is dead 😭

[@Thegreatcrab]

I feel like the game is dead because the game has no updates

[@gamerx112]

looks boring like every VR game so far.
fuck I regret buying this piece of shit headset.

[@jaden_idk6401]

vr has some great titles, just not for a whole lot for standalone atm. but still, this game is very fun to me. the game has little content, but the idea of the game is unlike anything else

[@BlueScarFire]

Please get this game, it is one of my favorite games since 2021, I still play it after I broke my collarbone because I can't live without it, the community is growing toxic and it would be amazing to have a new member.🫡
