I’ve always felt the trophy and achievement list is a bit uninspired for Outlast Trials - trophies and achievements I feel are often a sign post as to how the developers want you to engage with the game. I’d personally come back to the game a lot more if the developers implemented some more inspired trophy design and added new ones every update. What do you think?
Hi folks, bit of an interesting discussion but over the last month or so, a thought has been lingering in the back of my mind and I can’t seem to shake it. Should I quit this game?
Don’t get me wrong - there are a lot of things I love about this game. In fact I love most things about this game. My main issue is my community and my local game store.
The community is great actually, however it’s really small and our efforts to grow the game have been pretty unsuccessful. I’ve put immeasurable thought and effort into growing our community, including money out of my own pocket. We’ve hosted learn to plays, I’ve taught all my friends how to play - and with all that effort we don’t get more than 6 people for an armory. In turn, we’ve only ever had one skirmish, and never anything bigger. It’s hard to get Armory decks due to attendance. It’s really hard to grow a community and it frustrates me to no end to watch other games come out and instantly have an audience.
My local game store is also pretty unsupportive of the game. Earlier this year, I spent a few hours coming up with various ideas on things we could do for Armories rather than just classic constructed, I urged them to do something for Silver Age because there was hype around it, they took too long to implement it so now no one is excited. I’ve suggest sealed every so often - did it once, we all had a blast and then never again. I’m feeling let down - these store owners were my friends and I don’t feel like they tried very hard to support this game. They got promotional materials - never hung any of it up. It’s embarrassing to play a game that the store doesn’t even want to support.
I’ve always been the community leader, and I’ve always been a champion for the game, but I’m tired and I feel like it might be better if I quit. It’s hard because I love the game, a lot.
