Game is dead

[Viruz]

It's so painful to see this game , has so much potential and yet it keeps getting worst after every update , DE has killed this game from 100 k + players online to 25k tops, rest well WF

[Rahlence]

The game has periods of stagnation and decline between content drops; this is normal. The current decline is no different from any of the previous ones. The sky isn't falling. It's not dead or dying.

21k players today lets hope DE will stop playing stupid fast because I do not think white knights can jump any faster.

"Today" meaning when you wrote the post instead of the daily average.

I would like to have QOL changes to the game, in the hopes of bringing people back in.
It has so much potential.

The daily average isn't much higher than this though. Even on weekends it isn't much higher.

Today it was twice as high than it was stated by mr conan. And it has always been like that.

But I do agree that the player numbers don't rise up very high during weekends and I suppose it's because of the nature of this game. You can't really play it only on weekends, you have to spend some time every day or every second day, but only playing on weekends won't get you that far in terms of progression.

Well, we are still waiting for DE to finish the "melee 2.0" update. It has been 3 years. We are still waiting for Raids, which was the only thing close to an "end game" people ever had. It took us 4 years to get univac just because Scott didn't want players to have it. DE prefers to just add more and more shallow content no one asked for that gets left to rot months after delivery and poorly made, uninspired warframes with no backstory because that's what brings in new players.

Its basically like this: Warframe is someone with a giant wound, bleeding out. Instead of DE sealing the wound shut, they prefer to just transfuse blood to the patient. Problem is that eventually the new blood bleeds out and there isn't infinite blood on the blood bank.

do endgame always have to be about a large group of ppl hitting a loot pinata? or what do you mean about "Raids"?.
and about back story? most of the game didnt have one until recently so i am not sure what your point is here.

also the difference for new and old players is quite different when it comes to how they see content if you were a new player and you would feel pressed to force yourself to reach "End Game Content" in something like warframe i think most would quit due to the overwhelming amount of things there is to take in for a beginner.
but yea sure warframe could use a higher tier of missions like turning Def mission to a larger scale then it is now, but then you will have ppl complaining that content x or y is to hard and they will leave or try to make ppl leave so they get ther will in eventually.

some ppl stop playing the game because they can play the game on ultra anymore.

so yea ofc it is as you say it is only because of no raids in the game is why ppl stops play warframe it is the great wound that keeps bleeding.

the game is far from dead.

That was a brief peak of players that didnt last long. Years ago peak time for a weekday would be 70, 80k players. The fact this game barely reaches this peak on WEEKENDS and during A GLOBAL PANDEMIC WHERE EVERYONE STAYS HOME speaks volumes. And no, its not because of the "nature" of this game. Much on the contrary.

not every country still have a stay at home order, only those that were late to the early lockdown party.

With the recent epic store exclusives I am sure people are playing from there as well.. steam numbers alone don't really mean anything anymore and they never did for this game in the first place.

Only DE knows how many people log in and play daily.

[Anirv[PL] 🚀]

Damn man I dunno who the heck asked about it.
Why people feel such a big urge to create a thread like that every 2 days. Dont want to play the game? Is it boring for you after playing it for 5 yeas? Then leave it and stop thinking that people should have know why are you leaving. It`s like telling that you are studying the law and doing crossfit. Noone asks yet you have to tell about it every person you meet.

Correction. For Warframe, Steam-numbers *always* have been a fraction of the total playerbase as it's always been possible to launch Warframe without Steam.

Then PS4/XB1 were added. Then Switch. Now Epic. All not within Steam-metrics.

Warframe (China) was also a thing.

and if you read the rest of the sentence you would have seen that I said pretty much that... as in ..."and they never did for this game"

The game isn't dead, you are if any of the players meet you IRL.

my current complaint right now is the servers feel unstable, long load times, long logging in, messages about the network not functioning right.
Did DE do something to cause stability problems? Are they being DDos'd?

I personally have not seen these issues where I live. Log in time seems normal and all.
