The minimum avg. player count PLANETSIDE 2 needs

[papa]

We all know that PlanetSide has reached a new critical stage right now. The avg. player count has decreased by over 50% to the last week prior and it gets even worse if we´re taking a look at the past 12 months.

This supports my theory that planetside 2 is dying slowly in the long term but thru the end it will die faster we could even imagine. There is a break-even point in this game, its the avg. player count. If planetside is failing to give us its killer feature, the big battles, it will die really fast.

If Planetside Arena is failing, i think this game will be dead in december and a sever shut down in 2020. The only way to make planetside popular again is by making PLANETSIDE 3.

The games been dying since it came out. Same as every other MP game out there, it's not a theory, it's just how attention spans work.
The difference is that most would be dead after seven years and not still going.

Areana doing badly is not a sign that PS2 is going to die. It's a sign that it was a cheap attempt to cash in on a craze and will do badly because it got in way too late to matter.
Which it was and we all knew it.

Everyone knew PSA was a ♥♥♥♥ idear besides DBG.
Planetside 3 is not going to be good if it comes out of DBG, was made by sony and sold off to DBG.
Your theory? you give yourself way to much credit, its commen knowledge that the game is slowly dying. As Amannoob105 pointed out thats just how games work, they slowly die, warcraft 3 was slowly dying for 11-12 years befor it started to get new updates and new life.

if you look at the avg player base, its not rly dropping that fast, its the peak players thats dropping fast per say.

I wish the devs would pin this post.

You flatter me, sir.

PS2 has received updates, so it's hard to think of what a PS3 would do that a PS2 doesn't or couldn't currently do other than the addition of new game types (which could just be added to PS2).

Instead of wasting resources making a new PS3 they might be better spent on a PS2 marketing campaign.

PS2 could use marketing, there is no markting to speak off or even at all.
