omega79 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 only those who downloaded the torrent on renegade-x.com Quote
Khawz Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 +1 from me today :^) gonna try it tonight, i only played the original renegade single player though Quote
iran Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Wow 125k downloads already? My Red Alert 1 patch has about 200,000 downloads and it has been out for 18 months already! You can really tell by the online player count just how popular the game is and how well the developers handled this first release and publicity campaign. Quote
cirex Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 It are only the official mirrors. These Chinese communities probably also have a lot of downloads. Quote
Prof.Koni Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Awesome! Great work gains great success Keep going Totem Arts! Greetings, Koni Quote
XD_ERROR_XD Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 It are only the official mirrors. These Chinese communities probably also have a lot of downloads. Lmao, why only mention the chinese community? Quote
SFJake Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 238 users online in the game. 132771 downloads. Thats 0.1% of the downloads in game right now. ...thats... incredibly low. Quote
Valor Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Even at launch there were never over 1000 concurrent players. I don't believe download numbers accurately portray interest in the game. Not saying they're flubbed, but anyone could download this game and not play it, or just play it for 10 minutes and decide they hate it. You have to look at things like Facebook likes and number of members who register on the forums. Those are better indicators of a game's actual fanbase. 200 players, I'll chock that up to this being a beta with some game-ruining bugs. Upon actual release and possibly Steam or Origin release there should be numbers similar to Renegade at its prime, and I'd be perfectly happy with that. Quote
omega79 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 it do show interest, not more ... it shows that this game did clearly got some attention ... it shows how many people at least tried it ... it sure does not show how many actual players there are ... it does not show how many people like the game and still think 125k (counted) downloads are still very good for just 10 days!

Christopher Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 i wonder how many people got the not having directx installed error and gave up lol. i stopped playing as well. uninstalled. i currently dont play any fps games but will probably jump on titanfall bandwagon. thatll no doubt last only a few days as well Quote
Dav3 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Pretty sure the amount of downloads vs average amount of people playing speaks leaps and bounds about it being released wayyyyy too early. Quote
omega79 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Beta ... they needed feedback ... I believe they could not have waited too much longer ... and the Birthday was a perfect day to release people will come and check it again Quote
Mrcod Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 If their intent is an eventual Steam release then I don't think this beta release will hurt the game in the long run, as long as they fix the bugs and add in some nice quality of life features before then. It will absolutely get attention again if it's released on Steam. I have an official thread on NeoGAF with thousands of views which I'll be updating with each patch and release. And if it's a polished game by then, more people will stay. Everyone I've talked to who quit spoke highly of the concept but that it was the bugs that turned them off. Quote

Upon actual release and possibly Steam or Origin release there should be numbers similar to Renegade at its prime, and I'd be perfectly happy with that. This. At any given time, it's safe to assume that there are ≥ 200 players dispersed in the list of servers, give or take. Of course, today would be the exception due to the fact that it has dropped to about 150... In any case, I see Ren-X developing similar to the DayZ ARMA modification that turned standalone. Renegade-X is too significant for companies like PC Gamer Magazine not to report on. DayZ has a six page interview in the April 2014 PCG, among many others in previous editions. The Totem Arts team has a functioning build and solid architecture to improve upon and correct, not to mention the solid publicity that has already been generated. As Valor noted in the post above, once the game hits Origin / Steam (down on may hands and knees praying for the fucking latter) it will be smooth sailing. Really looking forward to the patch, gentlemen! Quote

And if it's a polished game by then, more people will stay. Everyone I've talked to who quit spoke highly of the concept but that it was the bugs that turned them off. Exactly this. My friends, who didn't play C&C Renegade, actually loved playing Renegade X with me. But it was just small things, the lack of polish, that drove them to shrug and say, "oh it's fun, but not enough maps and too many small bugs." Fair enough - I'm a big C&C Renegade fan, so I'm still playing. I hope to get them to come back as the patches keep coming. Quote
omega79 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 and again, those numbers just show the interest and the PR success ... nothing more and nothing less i think after the next patch a lot will come back to try ... and a significant amount will leave again but keep an eye on the project ... i think renegade-x has a good future with a maybe small/medium, but decent, playerbase Quote
Xpert Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Currently as I'm posting, only 54 players playing and 2 servers with people out of 120+ lol. Quote
Valor Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I want to believe the only reason for the low player count is because of the bugs. Quote
iran Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 There's 88 players on right now, still a lot of players. Stop being so negative and stop blaming the developers for everything. Quote

Stop being so negative and stop blaming the developers for everything. http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php ... msg_486590 Yeah... I know it's renegadeforums you're posting on, but knowing you from C&C Renegade makes it hard for me to believe you. Quote
SFJake Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Unfortunately his number was correct. If it wasn't right, it was too high. All during friday night the population never seemed to hit anywhere near a 100 (total, not just NA). Had trouble finding a full NA server, actually. I mostly played yesterday with EU folks. Its quite sad. Basically if Jelly decides to go play old Renegade, Renegade X NA = dead. Quote
Valor Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I keep fearing that the longer it takes for the patch to be released, that fewer people will bother to come back. Quote
