Is The Player Base Dropping?

Fri Dec 30, 2016 8:17 pm

There was a discussion in my guild about the event ladder and we deduced that there are now less players. We estimated by comparing with our tier and the corresponding percentage (e.a rank 175, tier 8, 0%-1%) and concluded that the current playerbase is around 18k-20k which is pretty shocking considering that the peak of the game was about 100k. So I argued that we should just wait until global launch but another guildie refuted that if this game couldn't sustain much in the SEA region what more if they push GLOBAL. What are your thoughts on how this game could be improved for player retention? Thought this could be an interesting topic to talk about.

I think the player base dropping is normal, this happens for almost every game. I am not sure how the global players will be integrated into the game though.

I'm thinking that they may have a new server since the disparity between us and global players is somewhat grandiose as of now. Although, perhaps they may have lots of bonuses and whatever I suppose (just like CBT and post-CBT players)

Wonders if this has something to do with it.

I think a huge ban wave recently happened. Good good!

Weird though, isn't the modded APK downloaded from a third party and not from the app store? I checked Google Play and there's an approximate 100k downloads. Nonetheless, for sure the playerbase dropped with the banwaves coming out.

I'm really committed to the game but i felt really compelled to play the events which is held daily. Kinda tiring and i know its just a mindset issue but heck we're asians we want a good deal out of everything. I really feel drained out with the events juggling with work & social life, perhaps devs could do a little pause in between events regardless if its a filler (the fillers are also frigging competitive because of the bazaar exchange, mindset problem again).

Well I would really want to take reference to Kantai Collection, a really simple RNG collectable game, two years later and i'm still playing it :)
Their events are held once every season with occasional fillers and boy it's damn fun even if the level of difficulty can be challenging. Gives the game some longevity.

Another thing i've noticed is the advertising of the game isn't that strong anymore. Pre-launch it was really exciting and i looked forward to playing it even though i failed to enter CBT.

100k - 500k is a large range though. And there are still players using iPhones not included.
