Peak CCU Down By Half

[Kao the Space Cow]

So anyone who keeps up with the player numbers has probably noticed that when the game left CB we were close to around 10-15 players on average a day. Fast forward to today and it seems like it peaks to around 5.5k a day. Essentially down by half. (Althought today its however around 3k)

So, I was curious as to what our current corral of players thought of this. Not only that but I'm also curious to hear opinions or suggestions on what SLS can do to help with the player retention, if anything.

Suggestions can be anything to more characters, games modes, skins and so on. Try to get in depth with your suggestions though. Like what type of characters, what should their skillsets be. If it's game modes explain in detail what kind of mode, what will players be doing, whats the objective, etc.

Firstly I think the skins that barely qualify as color changes should cost a lot less. Unlocking skins is the main award in this game and for a lot of them it feels like you worked really hard for a barely-noticeable change.

I can certainly agree to that.

All of Bakko's skins are color swaps of his default skin. I think though if I buy a skin and it has several variants of color swaps, I should own all of those color swaps since they're certainly not unique enough to justify spending 2-6k tokens on them.

Or, if characters some day have their level caps increased then the color swaps be rewards for hitting X levels. I would prefer this actually.

I agree with this statement.

Check it once more. The day isn't over yet. The game is stabilized around 5-6k players at the peak time, which is quite decent. Every content patch will boost the amount back to 15-20k for a few days.

The problem comes down to a replayability of the game for an average Joe. Usually casual people either don't want to improve or don't see any way to improve themselves and at the moment it is the only reason to play the game for a long time. I hope, that there will be tournament system soon, so even amatures will have their carrot on a stick to play a bit more and to find a constant team, which will eventually open the new level of gameplay for them.

Skins, modes, etc won't solve the problem better than the tournaments with the unique rewards will do.

Also, there will be a bunch of legendary skins released soon. Probably even in the next patch.They have some old blc skins remastered for the battlerite.

I'm avarage? :'O

either way I actually agree with a mini tournament system, where you and your friend join a tournament and maybe pay a fee each one of gold (or tokens/real money etc) with the chance to climb together and gain stuff. you could see the card games do that like Hearthstone or even Elder Scrolls legends.

the thing that common about those 2 games and this game is that they are relativley short, making you want for more, and quickly. the tournament system not only helps you achive that but also makes you go after a smaller, more instantly rewarding goal!
