That site has wrong data. One example is Path of Exile, it says that it has 490+k active players. Even GGG devs admitted on interview that their highest peak of active players was 159k.
True. Basically now we play LA at 3x speed compared with how the other regions played, yet still people are not satisfied.
That is what annoys me: only 2% of population reached 1300 ilvl and the same 2% population is the most loud one. These are the elitist that wants everything now and can’t wait. I am 100% sure if LA west would have launched full updated to today KR version, there would be still reasons to cry.
98% of LA population is happy, but these 2% are the ones that are here crying daily.
As a side note, i am 1340 ilvl, happy with my ilevel. Not bothered by the honing rates because my mind is not only to gear score. I also explore, i collect, i play the game. That’s the difference. And one more thing: i achieved everything by not spending money at all. 100% free and i didn’t even focused on honing. I skipped guardians, played mostly my main and played my alts only in my off work days. Actually i spent money, but not for gold to buy honing mats, i spent on pets/mounts/skins, things that have 0 impact in chars ilvl progression.
The site itself just says it’s an estimate on social media/reddit/forum activity so yeah, not that accurate. But that number still seems pretty reasonable. We definitly know a few things that would indicate such high numbers: 1.5m founders packs sold, over 1m viewing on twitch at the start and now even a month later we still have 500k+ players at peak time AT THE SAME TIME. Considering this game is not even in the same timezone for everyone and a lot of players are now at the point of just doing dailies (so not playing long), you can definitly assume 5m+ daily players with weekly/monthly way higher.
Jawdropping good quality feedback. And fully on point.
Happy that Roxx also took note of this and hopefully they can learn from it and improve from here on out. I have not given up on AGS yet, its only the first month and its their first time experience publishing. Rome wasn’t build in a single day.
From a peak of 159k to 450k daily active don’t you think it’s a bit too much inaccuracy?
WoW sold 150= mill copies and now barely has 2 mill players on all regions. That’s less than 2% of the numbers of copies sold.
There is a difference between copies sold and daily active players.
It seems like they still have alot of work to be done on this game. As a f2p i got to T3 for my main and eventually i just gave up on grinding. Also didn’t feel like making any other alts as im interested in the new classes. Hopefully they can make some changes for this game and i might come back.
I’m one of those player interested in the CORE of the game. These past 2 weeks being in T3 made me feel sick. Like you need to invest tons of gold but you are getting shit from the content, so basically u get stucked and forced to wait ssssssssoooo much and waste many many many resources. My question here is: why they implemented content for 1370 if you can’t get 1370? You can’t even pay for it in case you want.
conclussion: I’m almost not playing, can’t find my hype, let me know if you see it up there somewhere.
I agree with everything OP has stated,
While also I usually prefer to err on the side of incompetence when these mistakes were made,
This time its a mix of both, THERE WERE malicious intent somewhere for sure, because if not for the leak patch-notes for KR way of pacing, I could possibly believed AGS, not anymore, if this weeks event and upcoming 1.5 months late road-map won’t be the most amazing compromise and solution we have seen from AGS to date, we will have big problems.
Very well articulated. SmileGate and Amazon missed with this release in the interest of a quick buck.
One month in T1, one month in T2, one month of T3 with moderately increased honing chances, and then Argos release at month 4 would have been great.
And I think all classes should have been available since launch, or at least be added in original release order so people know what to expect and can plan.
Well said.
I have finally hit 1370 this week and it did not feel good, it left me with hardly any gold or crystals. I hope they handle the next content drop better and give us more avenues to acquire resources.
“Fixing” RPG elements with events and gifts says everything needed really. That just shows how bad of a company Amazon really is. And Smile Gate is allowed to force their Korean P2W whaling into the Western Market. Something that every gamer has said no to many times before. Including in games like D3. Perfect time for my aura to run out today.
I feel like both AGS and SmileGate are doing everything on purpose. They knew of our expectations, decided to not meet them and get as much money as they could, then apologize to make reparations. It’s like they decided to be the bad guy then have a redemption Ark then maybe do something bad again, but not as bad, which we will be like “at least it’s not as bad as I.E.” etc. In the end I just hope the game gets New Worlded and they stop fucking around.
