The Real Reason Hi-Rez Abandoned Rogue Company

Ойындар

Rogue Company managed to get over 15 million players just 2 months after release and it was looking like Hi-Rez was coming out with another banger. Unfortunately, if you've never heard of the Hi-Rez curse, then you probably weren't expecting Rogue Company's decline and how Hi Rez ended up abandoning it

    the worst mistake that they made was the unlock weapons to other characters one of the heros had the passive of reloading any gun by rolling/dodging, and she had a shotgun, if you unlock the double barrel shotgun and use it whit her she would simply would 2 shots (3 if she had a perk that upgrade the mag capacity) and roll, 2/3 shots and roll... that shotgun could kill anything whit 2 shots that could be shot almost at the same time, insta kill whit no cooldown, they took almost 8 months to nerf that

    Easy as someone who stayed since day 1 I knew going into this game it was going to die,neaterless I have 8000 hours on this game I played it nonstop for so long. The reason this game dies is simple and it’s because who developed this game. Highrez don’t care about any of there ips other than smite,every game they have created they abandon it until it’s. Dwindling player base. Each update got worse and worse taking the identity away from the rogues by basically having everyone use the same guns,with the only difference being there ability but the rounds were so fast it didn’t matter. They cared more about cosmetics and seasonal items than what we wanted them to fix. If this game was in any other devs hand it would still be alive and talked about

For me, the weapon unlock and character stats with Speed and HP however destroyed what I Love, focusing on Casual players with the TDM Focus. Now OP Rogues could and would use OP weapons. Then the MnK Problem against Console Players. They killed their own Game idenity. It Makes me so sad What I would Wish for, but wont Happen: -remove ability to Switch guns on rogues -get rid of character stats -divide Demolition with TDM and Focus on fixes

    The coup the grace to RoCo was that they killed most of the servers.

Unless you are located near a remaining server you have any mean to play it. Even Dirty Bomb, another dead game by its devs very bad decisions, you still can play it once in a while for nostalgia sake once in a while but not RoCo.

    Played Rogue pretty hardcore for a solid 2-3 years. I had a lot of fun. But yeah it feels like the core design team just designs the game and bails. Then they put a "B Team" for lack of a better word onto the game to keep updating it, and the B team fucks it all up with their lack of consistent vision. IMO the best update in the game happened when they gave each rogue their own speed and health values. So for the first time, all the rogues felt distinct immediately. Anvil was slow as hell but tanky, as he should be. Lancer was super fast and squishy. Felt great. Then after some loud players bitched on reddit, they completely reverted the change to where everyone felt the same again. The devs were too afraid to put their flag in the ground and stand by it. Any little community outcry and they would backpedal their decisions. Pair this with loads of bugs, some of which I reported to the devs firsthand, never getting fixed for YEARS. And yeah, you end up with a whole lot of wasted potential and an absolute shitshow. The game did NOT feel like Valorant at all. It's way faster and arcadey and movement-centric. Valorant is more methodical. Anybody saying the two are alike has no clue what they are talking about. Rogue Company could have gotten absolutely huge and grown into something special just like R6 Siege did, IF managed properly, IF bugs were fixed, and if the team's design vision was consistent. Competitive focus was the right move. Abandoning it and prioritizing casual play was basically the death knell that signaled the team's intention to abandon the game entirely.

    bugs and patches are actually most of the reason these things don't come out on consoles, crossplay can be disabled that isn't nearly as much of a problem as the fact Sony and Microsoft make companies wait a crazy long time to approve patches and updates for quality control to make sure a patch doesn't brick your console, which is good in theory but absolute death for a multiplayer competitive game that desperately needs to be patched.

    This game had so much potential, but Hi-rez just had to be cursed with the sin of sloth and never update the game, if only the game was in good hands...

    There was a really competitive 2v2 mode that I would play for hours and they removed it for whatever reason, I believe that single handedly killed the game. That mode was insane quick queue times too so people must of liked it. Hi rez is cheeks

    The game died for me when they changed how spawning worked. Having enemies spawn behind you just pissed me and my crew off

    RC was my first Online MP Game and it was a great time. But forced crossplay is a no go, so i've never touched it since that.

    I got platinum on the game without even going for it. I love Rogue company but it definitely has its issues that made me stop playing since 2021.

    Just to give some additional details on the Hi-Rez restructure IIRC: Even though the studios were merged into just Evil Mojo, they ended up laying off most of the RoCo devs, including their (at the time) new Project Lead. It makes it even more sad that he was actually very active with the community and was somewhat reviving the game with balance updates relating to recent player feedback. So as a result, any droplet of hope for RoCo was thrown out the window when Hi-Rez "restructured". Even Paladins is bleeding out in its current state, Hi-Rez just sucks.

    it really makes me sad what happened to rc :(. this game had so much potential that just kinda got flushed down the toilet at every turn. for context, im a former rogue company board member and have played since the day it dropped for $15 or more in the beta. i put over 1k hours on the switch version before i got my ps5, and there i put in a few hundred more. i dont mean to flex but im just saying like ive seen what we've been through 😭😭 for a looong time, although the game was buggy, they tended to fix things rly quickly and listen to the community. their balance patches were always great, and ultimately they handled everything amazingly for the first few seasons. and then like u said, hi rez curse happened. with season 2, Mack was added as a rogue and on top of that they decreased every weapons TTK by one bullet. this added with the on-release conviction as one of the best guns theyve ever made (up there with the pre nerf MLX Maw and D40/LMP) led to the first 2 (?) weeks of that season being a shitshow. thankfully, they reverted it, but the trend never stopped. they were always trying to push new ideas that clearly were not very well thought out, like that one time they wanted to add a mythic RPG from their semi-battle royale mode to demolition (who greenlit that even for announcement ??). to me, the game started its descent into madness with weapon mastery, for the same reasons u stated. rogues were balanced bc they had less good guns, and there wasnt a stale meta of guns that everyone was using until then. everyone and their mother started using guns like the KA30, d40, SLC, and the arby shotgun and left all the other guns in their category in the dust. after buffs and nerfs that honestly werent terrible, its mostly up to personal preference now, but every gun feels like a shell of its past self. generally ur right, it didnt feel like the devs gave a fuck abt us at all 😭 but i didnt realize how wrong i was until i joined the board. it was relatively late in the games lifespan when they announced they were taking people in as board members, somewhere after Glimpse released. i was accepted in, and the devs actually really valued our input and support. they truly cared abt the playerbase, and although i cant confirm this, they probably just got told to do some wacky stuff by their higher ups. there was even a time they removed the intel role for a while and considered making changes nobody asked for, such as either making dallas a support rogue or making him a duelist, which in the latter only he would be able to see his reveal. rly weird choices all around. while we're on the topic of the devs, yk how many ppl worked on that game ? total ? pretty sure it was less than 10. its a damn miracle its still going if that number is still true. i was buddies with the director of the game, jared, before he was fired in that mass layoff u spoke abt. guy was worked to the bone and im happy hes off their leash, but i understand how he felt bittersweet abt it all. he was working his hardest to fix rogue company with amazing balance changes and trying to bring it back from the brink. his reward ? a slip of paper telling him to fuck off by next monday. fuckin disgusting. eventually, some leak happened and we caught the blame, and so we kept our titles as board members.. but we had no say. they stopped sharing, so we stopped reaching out. we were given special roles in the official discord server, but man it just felt like a turd with sprinkles on it. so i left it all behind. got to keep the title at least, something less than a dozen people have is pretty damn cool :3 TLDR: im so sad abt what happened to roco. amazing potential in gameplay and lore, squashed to near death by the corporate boot. pumped full of half assed ideas with no execution, by a team of devs working tirelessly to even keep it on life support. the only way to save rogue company now would be to give it so some other company and hope they breathe life into it. but that'll probably never happen, so just get cozy while we wait for the game to take its last breath. :(

    They had no sea servers or middle eastern servers so I had to play the game at 150+ latency so I decided to give up Hi Rez altogether
