Game dropped so hard

[_- EnvI -_]

It started with 264k Peak, now have 10k online, couldnt even retain 5% of the base

[ŁōãF]

As always, every game one this planet loses 90% of its playerbase after the first month.

Its completely normal, people will be back when the next season starts.

If you mean baldurs gate, it also lost 90% of its peak players and thats what we're talking about.

What I find amazing is that if you look at the site Steam Charts Most Played Games, Last Epoch comes in at #140 on the list of those games currently being played. It's lower than some of the biggies like Supermarket Simulator, Rusty's Retirement, Cookie Clicker - whatever that is - and Russian Fishing 4. I would not be slapping myself on the back if I was one of the LE developers. Especially if these rankings are any indication of how well things are going for the game they produced.

People will be back once new content drops.

BG3 took over 4-5 months to drop to roughly 10% of peak users on steam... 1 month losses are not normal, but I am judging from 2 decades of history, not 1 year of recent releases only in the arpg category.

According to steam stats, bg3 lost ~77% of its players after 3 months.

Last epoch lost 95% of its peak in the same time.

Considering how much bigger and more hyped bg3 was and considering that most people stop playing ARPGs between seasons, its still good enough, especially because its a small indie game.

Playerbase grows and shrinks between updates, this will be for every game and never change.

Many people will come back with S2.

Game has too many Issues and Patches/Updates are coming too slow so...

Sorry I see BG3 took over 4 months to drop from 800k~ to around 200k using steam charts. So that's roughly 75% in 4 months. Yes people will come back, but there are still issues that are not being resolved.. meaning anyone returning will find their same grievances. Not good.

What new content? The rest of the campaign? That won't last long in terms of "bringing people back." By the looks of it there won't be any endgame stuff unless all the info is in their echo chamber(s)...and not on the platform they sell the game on? Red flag IMO.

This doesn't include balance issues that really need to be addressed, MG 0 gold items, etc. etc. etc.

False.

Peak was august and 3 months later, november, it lost 77%.

Also you cant compare a big game like bg3 to a small game like last epoch + completely different genres, ARPGs just dont last long without new content, between seasons the player numbers always drop massively, be it diablo 4, last epoch or POE.

Now calm down and stop crying, please.

[Zorky]

no content updates - no online

[Riotpump]

This is the normal ebb and flow of ARPGs. People will be back after the next Cycle releases.

Ok.. you're only arguing yourself at this point.. steamcharts clearly shows the data, but good luck hah
