72% player count drop this month

[Ryan Gosling (literally me)]

Ive got nearly 100 hours on this game so dont bother calling me a "hater". This game simply will not survive if the devs keep nerfing everything and at the same time wont add new game modes, fun weps and fun strats to use. If its going to be the exact same thing over and over while all the fun stuff gets nerfed then the population will keep dropping and once it drops below a certain threshold then its gg.

i want the game to succeed but the devs need to set aside their egos and listen to their playerbase.

Edit : Whoa, thanks for all the points guys! We did it Reddit!!!

Look kid, I can see you've sunk a lot of hours into this game and its probably your whole life right now but you need to face reality some times and accept when things aren't going well. The devs need to listen to the player base. The game is dying because its not fun anymore. Even with new warbonds hardly anyone comes back.

Ignoring the counter-evidence doesn't make it go away, it just proves you have nothing to support what you're saying besides your ego.

game is down from 800k to 90k players (less than 90k on some days)....yikes bro....are you ok?

Lets see $39.99 x 800,000 (At one point) = $31,992,000

Yeah, the devs should listen to steam keyboard cowboys and how to run a business.

the devs made their money and now the game will be dead. its a win for the devs and a loss for the players. i guess youll be happy if you love deep throating the devs lol

It's normal for a player count to drop off. I don't think that's any cause for panic or even concern.

I don't think it's a good idea to nerf the fun out of your game though and I'm sure it doesn't increase player count.

the population will take a big hit because the warbonds are ass and no new content is added

So you have no examples, then? Didn't think so.

sorry but i appreciate what the numbers say. you're living in denial. this game is going in a downward spiral and you know it.

It is consistently in the top 10, usually top 5 of played and sold. How is that a spiral?

Guess we all have different definitions of what a 'dead' game looks like.

Most developers would kill to have 90K still playing there game months after launch and as long as I can play it its not dead to me.

By the OPs definition BattleBits is a dead game. Huge numbers sold, huge player count initially, but dropped quite bit in the months after it was released. Dead game? Seems lots of people still play it so probably not.

Palworld? Millions sold in EA, but look at the player count now compared to its first month?

Another dead game?

Naw.

But again, we all have our own definition of a dead game I suppose.

Not calling you a hater. But i think you're way too concerned with what people you don't even know are playing. It's completely expected that any and every game loses players. Especially the ones that get popular. Simple truth is they never expected this many players to begin with. It'll simply go down to their expected projections when the players go.

As long as there are a few other players in the game you got someone to play with.
As long as you poke your friends to play together there will also always be players to play with.

Your game will be here.

The game is fine, most of the world is going into the spring where normal people start touching more grass, plus its been out for a few months which means the early casuals have or are moving onto new titles.

Arrowhead supported HellDivers for ages, its a passion project of their CEO, doubt it will ever stop receiving support until HD3 launches. They may take it the direction of Fat Shark and cater only to the most autistic of the player base.

Butt hurt angry steam boys aside, I won't even be worried when the player count hits 60k, or 30k, or even 10k. It is still good fun.

Some stuff got buffed too. Plus the bug fixes.

Just vent here, but Quasar, Dominator and Sickle still good.

A lot of the "buffs" also came with nerfs on those very same weapons. Even accounting for those "buffs" they're still dog water. Either the damage is too low, or consumes FAR too much ammo paired with an already abysmally small extra mag count to be even remotely viable.

That's not even getting into the random and grossly unnecessary enemy buffs, and solo player penalty.

gonna run out of eligible hosts because the game keeps crashing before that happens

This game seems to not have a draw when you get to like level 30 and you've been smart with requisites and collecting samples to upgrade the ship, by then you're kinda done with everything. That's when the "this all gets repetitive a bit" stage kicks in.

im also not a big fan of having to get a bunch of worthless stuff with requisites ill never use just cause I have to spend the things to unlock the higher tiered stuff

my 2 cents

Every game is like that, once you hit a certain unlock level your either playing because you actually like the gameplay, or your moving onto other titles.

That is what happens when you nerf everything that is FUN in a PvE game cause some "l33t" players think it made the game "ToO eAz BrAh" , when EVERY...SINGLE...PATCH has nerfed what players used AND had fun with , expect more of a drop.

See how long those l33t players stick around , devs keep treating balance as if this is a competitive shooter or league of legends , they will keep losing players.

and the fun thing is ? you will not see too many posts about it , players that just like to have FUN , will not bother that much , they complained once ,twice , three times ? then they are simply walking away , and the devs will only ahve the toxic PrO L33t UbEr GaAAAmEErs that scream and moan about what else they want to see nerfed to the ground next as the game is just sooooo easy for them and they NEED to be able to brag how they play with a shovel on level 90000 difficulty and solo it

They nerfed most of my regular build this patch between the Quasar and Dom, I was miffed when I woke up and joined some friends on the other side of the world, but it wasn't so bad. They brought back the Railgun to usable levels.

Its more that people like to scream and moan on the internet with main character syndrome dripping out of there mouths instead of trying new things or testing old things.

I never considered a side arm and riot shield build, now I'm going to try one.

Only the whiners are talking about l33t players, I'm certainly not l33t and do just fine.
