Alright, I hate having to post that question but here it is :

It's no secret that the player/viewer count is not meeting your expectations and I'm pretty sure having such a small playerbase is not sustainable for a game as a service in the long term.

What are your interpretations on why the playerbase is very low right now, and what is your strategy to bring in new players, and keep them from playing the game.

As a 15+ years player of FPS, this game is just amazing mechanically and gunplay wise, but I'm not sure newcomers have that much experience and are willing to learn this in a BR format, which is very punitive for them because of the high skill gap and quite long lobby wait times. Apex and Fortnite are not that punitive since half the game is spent looting and gearing up, which probably feels more like a survival and keeps beginners in the game, just because of that survival aspect.

PS: I dont feel safe asking questions to Bane himself (cf the mask) :D

It’s hard to ignore that Unreal Tournament and Quake 3: Arena influenced the game design a lot. High velocity and vertical dynamic make this game unique. In this regard, I have the question:

Don’t you guys think that we need a mode in which players will have more than one life? A player respawns and gets back to action multiple (limited or not) times just like in UT and Q3. This will enrich the early stages of each match and will make finales truly spectacular. While it's true that Arena Shooter genre is as extinct as dinosaurs, do you think it's possible to see the next step of evolution of these ideas in Hyper Scape. I mean, HS is not a common Battle Royale. How do you plan to skew this impression even more for us?

Can you share any plans on future content because in the games current state there's not much to do besides level up the battle pass. Keep up the great work!

Hello guys,

Love the game , surprisingly this new patch giving us APAC people good lobbies.

I wanted to ask few questions !
1. Can we have actual ping/loss information while playing ?

1. Is there any chance we get zone disappear mechanism based on player count instead of time in later stage , late night games become witch hunt where we have to hunt 1 guys/1 squad in almost 30% of whole map.

2. Is it possible to get rid of kill confirmed skull indicator after killing an enemy , it almost blocks off the center of the screen (crosshair area) , it was/is super annoying while playing faction war/squad games

Thanks in advance

I've noticed that the red things, those viruses are spreading throughout Neo Arcadia. Any information on what those may be? Are they an upcoming feature, or... An error within the Hyper Scape?!

Do you guys plan on doing any physical merch or collectible releases? I'm super into that stuff and this game seems ripe for that kind of stuff! Also, thank you guys for making an awesome game.

When is duos coming? And will you add some new game modes like tdm, capture the flag ecc.? Will there be permanent game modes (like solo and squads)?

Originally posted by CertifiedDxD

Are you guys planning to kbm access to console? And I would like yo see a ranked feature added where there are tiers on the ranks and there are seasonal awards such as skins and bitcrowns so people have a reason to play ranked... and it would help thr casual side of the game a lot because I know a lot of people who quit the game because it was too hard so adding a ranked feature will give those players a more enjoyable experience

Do you think the Protocol fall off damage starting at 150m is maybe too short?

Personally I think a fully leveled Protocol should be able to 1 shot headshot from at LEAST 200 meters (I would recommend ~225-250 meter). 150 meters doesn't feel like that far of a distance at all in Hyper Scape

Will you guys be adding a headshot indicator when people die from headshots? Also like how many bullets killed you from the person who eliminated you, would be nice analytics wise :)

Are any of you worried for the future of this game?

I'm loving it so far and would hate to see the developers lose heart in the game because it has a small community.

Keep up the awesome work!

Personal opinion as a console player the hexfire is still wayyy too strong I think a weapon of that scale should have weighed/ decreased movement speed and a 100 round starting mag also a mini map would be dope i get lost rotating from sector to sector leaving collapsed zones it's also a hassle having to stop playing to figure out where I need to go mid gun fight as the zone is collapsing.

Filling lobbies is a big problem right now, mainly because of the what I would say failed launch. You guys didn't advertise nearly enough IMO. The game is hard to pick up for casual players because of the TTK, which is also a big reason why the Hexfire and weapons with a high headshot multiplier have been very popular over others and the more popular a gun is the more broken it is to newer players because that's all they're dying to. I personally have no problem with it because I'm used to it but other people may not be willing to give it a second chance, or even try it in the first place because of what they may have heard about the game. What are your plans to 'revive' the game or to bring in new players in general?

Why is there no option to disable some voice lines while enabling others? I really do not like the normal character voice lines, but would very much like to hear the event announcements. It would be really nice to, for example, mute character voice lines and enabling announcement voice lines.

Why is the maxed fused heal so much more powerfull than the rest of the lower fusions? I personally think it is one of (if not the) most powerfull hack in the game even without the double amount of heal you get once fully fused. I know it is possible to destroy the heal, but most people are by now able to put the heal behind some kind of cover to make sure it is hard or near impossible to destroy it making it very hard to win a 1v1.

Thank you for making an amazing game!

It seems the pc player base isn't able to fill 100 players most of the time, is there any plans to make a lower player count game mode such as Team Deathmatch?

Originally posted by MegaVSPrimus

Hey! is there any plans to expand the Hyerscape Game into Mobile devices?

Originally posted by Cquilibrium

Do you guys have any plans for a ranked playlist? Also, can we see some additions to the training grounds? E.g. moving bots that can perform different actions, and maybe being able to 1v1 as a warm up with a friend. I think it would help encourage practice and would be beneficial to a lot of people! Myself included hahaha

Originally posted by Goldcoins95

You mentioned in the last AMA that you plan on revealing a new weapon and hack every season. After a handful of seasons will this over saturate the weapon spawns making it hard to find duplicates of weapons to level it up more. If so how would you handle this issue. Thank you!

Hey dev team! Loving the update so far, but I've got some questions for ya!

1. Are there any plans to customize HUD elements? I find that the skull that appears after each elimination obscures vision quite a bit when there are multiple enemies, also the distance indicator to safety when a sector is closing also makes it difficult to see enemies that are waiting up ahead (currently, it's only transparent if you ADS, but most of the time there's no reason to ADS, especially if you can't see that someone's there in the first place).
2. Are there any plans to add custom binds to controller? I'm a KBM player myself, but this is a common piece of feedback I get from viewers, and I agree that they're at quite a disadvantage as on KBM, I'm able to customize pretty much all of my binds. I know there are custom controller presets, but fully customizable binds would help them very much (also, apparently none of them have a bind for instant melee, which is CRUCIAL now that there's a Lethal Melee event).
3. Any plans to at least temporarily remove some servers in NA? As I'm sure you've heard many times over, the playerbase is quite small here and full lobbies are rare. I think it would be beneficial to maybe just have one big central NA server until crossplay is added.
4. Have you considered adding visual elements to the Lethal Melee event? I find that with everything going on, it's very easy to miss that Lethal Melee is active. It would be cool if melee weapons had a glowing effect that only appears during Lethal Melee, plus I think it would be a great selling point in the shop (imagine different melee weapon effects like a flaming/lightning sword, lightsaber, etc.).
5. Are there any plans to improve weapon skins sold in the shop? The character skins are nice, but I feel like the weapon skins always look brighter and more vibrant in the picture/thumbnail than the actual model itself. I'd LOVE to see weapon skins look brighter and more colorful in game.
6. Do you think we'll ever see a night version of Neo Arcadia, or maybe a new map altogether? I've always thought that the map would look AMAZING at night with colorful neon lights everywhere like in the cinematic trailer.

Why is there currently no way of watching death cams after the game is over? I can see how it might be a problem in squads, as you dont want the death cam to stop you from helping your teammates, but haveing a summary at the end with all death cams. In solos, you could just watch it when you are dead.
