Still seeing a stable playerbase if you know how to look at the stats.

That said, we still need to wait another month or so to see how stable it stays.

Decreasing at this rate during such a short time isn't stable. It usually indicates negative changes for a larger group of people and we all know that last update have affected survivors. I don't think it will be decreasing at such a rapid speed anymore as it did since the update. However, as you have said, we need to wait more time to determine if there is a deeper problem. As for the OP topic, i just proved it wrong by sharing these stats.

The other issue is we just had the anniversary not long ago as well, plus people trying this overhaul. We've had a surplus of players since then, most likely using up flans still or actually enjoying the patch. That's why we need more time to gauge this, imo.

You didn't really disprove OP, but neither of you can claim much until time passes to see how it fluxuates.

Didn't I? Charts say completely different story.

it's fine all the players leaving are the bad players that got carried by dead hard let em leave

You can see how unfair the situation is right now.

Survivors are leaving the game because they arent treated well and all their good perks get nerfed.

While killers still have overpowered crutch perks to slow the gens down and pressure survivors all the time.

And like I said, neither of you can claim much until we see what happens later on.

We're still net gain from before the anniversary if you look at the stats. You're focusing on a quote that even I agree is too optimistic and should be looking at the long term effects from the chart.

It's almost like we see these numbers drop after every event ends...

Could it be because the game always loses players right after every event?

When did the last event end? Last week...

Dbd always has around 30k-40k (on steam) and it almost always stays that way. Big update spikes it up and it never stays. The point is that this game doesn't grow its playerbase at all. That's why people say its dead. It's plateaued

Survivors leaving the game because they arent treated well and all their good perks get nerfed.

You mean getting treated fairly and equally in a game that is already balanced 4v1 and losing a handful of broken perks that were almost immediately replaced by a various series of perks that are fantastic if you don't play like an idiot. One of which IW is still practically the same as through testing you can only hear a survivor that's basically up your ass with it.

Other than that I agree on some of the gen perks. Particularly Pain Resonance and Eruption need their gen damage tuned down a bit. Still see survivors that aren't braindead clearing gens in like 30 seconds though. Most people just clearly had no clue how to do anything without having a handful of perks carrying them entirely.

And on an outlier issue I'd say Legion needs some work as they benefited massively from any of the speed increases. Far more than any other killer due to the fact they were already oppressively quick. Short of it is there is far more viable variety with a few things being broken and the only people who actually quit are those who refuse to learn.

The new rift came and new update... The biggest update they ever had, an update that was going to change everything right? lol

This thread didn't age well.

I don't know if that website is set to look at the weekly stats by default but looking at it by month instead of week does seem to show less fluctuation.
There does seem to be a steady downward trend.
