Nock

The game has been already dead for months, you lose nothing by making it free to play. It would be the only way to get any active players again at all.

I’ve had Nock for around 2 years and I think the game is great. loads of content, smooth gameplay, etc. However a game with this much potential to strike it big should have much more players active. To fix this I suggest going free to play, market-wise it makes sense. An example of a VR game using this strategy is Hyper-dash, originally it started paid but once profits slowed down Triangle Factory made it free to play and the player base has skyrocketed ever since. Another example is rocket league, a very similar game to nock. The battle pass is already in place as a form of making money, so why not pull the trigger? Not sure of all the inside costs but I hate to see a good game fizzle out like this.

For streaming and IRL friend purposes, it would be nice to have Push to Mute available. It is hard to play and hold the talk button when playing. I would rather have the ability to quickly mute myself, than the other way around.

Hello, I am a dedicated player of NOCK. I think this game is incredibly well-made and very well-designed. However, there is one major drawback: the latency is quite severe when playing the game. Recently, it’s been manageable when playing with two players, but when playing with four, the game often becomes unplayable due to constant stuttering and lag. Recently, I had an interesting experience. I met up with some friends who live far away, and we decided to play VR together. We connected to the same router and played NOCK, and to my surprise, the gameplay was very smooth compared to usual. At that time, there were three of us playing in a 2v1 match, but when another friend who lives far away joined us, the game suddenly became unplayable for that friend due to severe lag. Eventually, that friend was disconnected, but the rest of us could continue playing smoothly. I live in South Korea, where the geographical area isn’t as vast as in other countries, so I don’t think the ping differences should be that extreme. I’m not sure where NOCK’s servers are located, but this was the experience I had. If the reason for this issue lies in NOCK supporting local connections, would using a VPN to let my friends connect to my router and then playing the game together reduce the latency? I’d like to know if NOCK officially supports local connections. Also, if I enable a VPN on my router and have everyone connect through it, would that allow us to play as if it were a P2P game? I’m very curious about this possibility. Could you possibly support P2P connections or local connections through a VPN? I believe that having a smoother gameplay experience, even if one side has a slight advantage, is far better than being unable to play at all due to lag. Since NOCK is a round-based game, I don’t think a ping difference of around 10ms would drastically affect the outcome of matches. Thank for reading

Put some Nock tips and tricks on there or something. I'd fr buy some ad space for my business. Even if it's just text. Better than whatever's on it now

Would motivate regular play.

To drive more traffic to the actual game rather than us signing in to discord and not getting on the game. We SHOULD post the top 101=200 to motivate the less skilled to make the top 100. While were at it why not make weekly wins a quarterly thing? This incentivizes more grind for longer period for MORE PEOPLE.

i wish we could down and upvote on arena preference like they do in Rocket League, for those that thinks the bright map hurts their eyes like it does with mine

Instead of goals. We have a scoring bullseye scoring system. where just hitting the back wall gets you points. Closer to the center the bigger points you get. The game doesn't stop with each score. Keeps action going and it prevents the demoralizing shutout scores. To promote precise shooting. You can have the bullseye rotate. You can make this system work even with parts of the side walls being a scoring opportunity. Perhaps the ceiling is negative points? this way you have an ever-evolving scoring frenzy.
