    I think its cool. They either goad you into playing, or call you a loser. A win/win situation.

    Quite possibly one of the stupidest posters on these boards.

     

    On topic though: I liked that email. I think it's gutsy, they're not actually trying to be mean, it's more of a joke I think. They're assuming though that all the people who quit playing only quit because they kept losing, that might be the case for the majority, but not for me. I quit because the company started failing so I knew there wouldn't be cash prize tournaments like they promised, and there also wasn't enough of a playerbase to make PvP interesting, I didn't enjoy crushing the same people over and over again.

    lol!  I got this email also!  I thought it was kinda elementary school cheesy so flagged their email as spam. 

    It's sad that the game just isn't what it could be but damn this was a bit much.

  • VyethVyeth Member UncommonPosts: 1,461

    THATS IT! I'm going to sue them for slander and emotional distress and all that other stuff! I am going to sue them for 30 million dollars because I just about killed myself after I read that email!

    /sarcasm off

    lol... did that email really hurt that bad? Its like that guy who sued that cleaning company over those pants.. I mean.. come on.. I know society is built around roses and dandelions, but at least find the strength to just ignore and delete the friggin email.. sheesh... Let me guess? This is the same crowd thats been trying to get Family Guy cancelled for like 3 years?? lol.. (BTW, I am watching it on tv now.. Good job!)

    ridiculous. Its not the fact that theyre calling you loser that irritates me. Its the fact that anyone with at least 3 functioning brain cells could have come up with something better than that. Its not insulting in and of itself, its juvenile and tells me theyre really on the ropes at the point in time. Crimeny Im sure you could find a jr high kid to do a better job.

    Funnily enough, i don't want to play it now...   Can't understand why not...

    To me it is funny, but if they are trying to get people back into the game then the word "LOSSER" might be a tad bit too strong.   They got to make it more like they are challenging you, not like some lvl 67  ten year old in wow going LOSER!  The game is pretty sweet even though there is some  issues.

    You got offended because some writing on a screen called you a loser? well im calling you a gimp, does that make you want to cry? Thats the problem with people today.

    It's called unprofessionalism, which this games crew seems to have an abundance of. Do I feel offended being called "loser" by a company that has already filed bankruptcy shortly after launch? Nope. Do I feel perhaps they are showing their immaturity and lack of business sense? Absolutely.

    Exactly, well said.

    Anyone defending this as a viable marketing strategy needs to have there head checked, most of the people that posted defending that email could barely spell simple words, that speaks volumes about the demographic they are catering to, as well as the fact that they have become extremely desparate and must now pull stunts like this to try to bring in new players.

    I started as a hater of this game, bought it and gave it the benefit of the doubt, did very well for the time I did play, am a fan of twitch based pvp, and had all unlocks purchased - in the end why did I quit? because its just not a good game, period.

  • SidoxsSidoxs Member Posts: 103

    I think its a good idea, considering its a hardcore pvp game, and if you cant take the heat get out

    Rofl, have you ever actually played the game? its about as hardcore as an afternoon tea party with the ladies from The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, I'd rather piss out a kidney stone than attempt to portray this game as anything even resembeling "hardcore".

  • SidoxsSidoxs Member Posts: 103

    Yea, i have played it, and loved it.

    After reading this, I very nearly passed out from lack of oxygen. That much laughter can kill a guy!

    I got the email as well. It was the dummest email i have ever got the next email where going to get is '' sorry players but fury servers are getting shutted down because the PVP was to good for this world'' LOL

  • RimmonRimmon Member Posts: 82

    well i got the email, tried it again, still had the same boring expierce. continual deathmatch pvp just isn't for me, and obviously  not for the majority of folks either.  don't get me wrong I <3 my pvp but this game is... well everyone already knows what this game is.

    Go ahead and play into society and its "tiers".. Put us all into well laid out nicely planned groups.. Give us numbers and each a value.. Tell US how much we are worth to society and the economy,, But in doing so, notice, you are no better than the rest of us... Regaurdless of how many "typos" happen OR which game YOU decide to play....

  • MatriarcheXMatriarcheX Member Posts: 159

    Hmm sounds like some people here just don't know how to move on and find another game to play and would rather keep coming back here cause they are soo damn bored. Fine, you don't like the game? cool.

    Do you really think posting your negative comments here will shut the game down? Nah- ahh! I don't think so.

    Not whilst there are people like me and many other who really enjoy the game, have paid for it and will keep playing it because it worth playing. You can't tell us what to do, or change our minds. We're having alot of fun, unlike you, it seems.

    Well, perhaps the games' devs will come here and tell us all how we are taking it the wrong way.

     

    Oh, wait. That's right. The devs fired everyone, ran with the money and left volunteers in charge lol.

    Oh I'm sure you'd love that so you can somehow justify yourself. Oh my gawwd, that last sentence is sooo wrong and misleading! you really don't know whats going on do you? I'm not even going to try to correct you, I can't help you if you can't read news properly.

    If it were true, I'm sure the game would of shut down a month ago, but still going on strong. Its soo naive to think anyone truly 'volunteers' nowadays without getting paid one way or another for their time haha
