You already have a loyal fanbase of ~5.000 people logging in regular, more or less.
Once again you approach one of the many issues the wrong way.

Are you really unable to improve and learn, months into the game?
I'm getting scared here. 1.4 is a huge bust it seems (again).

That Dev blog makes my eyes bleed >_>

Yet another person in desperate need of being hit repeatedly in face with a maths textbook...

An average of 3-4K concurrent users implies an actual active player base of anywhere from 60-100k, not a raging success, but not a total failure or 'dead' game either.

Also, that daily bonus probably will get people playing more often - even if it is just a couple of matches in a day they wouldn't have played.

You feel like waiting 10 years again before Dust turns into something playable, like EVE needed? Then yea, that daily login bonus SP will be huge down the road. Good that it is there, but it's wasted dev time in terms of fixing the core game that is so behind anything 2013.

Aiming overhauled the what, 5th time? Great.
Matchmaking yet again.
Balancing while not even all suits are in is hilarious within itself.

Uh but wait, I'm going to stop here.
The CPM kicking their ass a couple days back should keep them busy enough.

Your logic would be an argument for why PS2 isn't dead as well. Great, then I'll just use your logic to refute that point next I hear it. (I still hate PS2)

And the fact that they have to bribe people to come to wor--Er...Play their game is hilarious, especially a game they can't balance or fix all--Or any--Of the bugs for. Wow...I wonder what the Icelandic word for garbage is...Dust?

To be honest i had the same problem and skipped over that bit about bonus SP.

Are we still getting passive SP at the same rate without logging in?

If anyone could answer that question in plain English that does not make my eyes bleed that would be great.

I just want to point out, since you're one of these people who want to 'cross pollinate' our community with PS2 drivel... Planetside 2 has had this XP bonus style thing since launch for premium accounts. The longer you pay a subscription, the more bonuses you get.

At least here you're rewarded just for playing, instead of paying.

Edit: Quoted the wrong person but whatever, you're all smart people and can work it out. :)

*Looks at the part of my post, clarifying that I hate Planetside.*
*Looks at my earlier post claiming Planetside is dead.*
*Looks at my history of posts denouncing Planetside.*

Uh...Huh...

This is why we can't have nice things.

Also, that daily bonus probably will get people playing more often - even if it is just a couple of matches in a day they wouldn't have played.

Umm no? The daily bonus will get people to log in then log out like a job.

All that programming effort could have been used to develop some form of bonus that COMES FROM PLAYING THE GAME. Example: In game achievements: +100 SP for hacking 5 objectives in a match, +100 SP for each 3-killstreak, hell, anything but more passive stupidity.

Everything about this game is a bust, but at least their bribing them to clock in...I mean "Play" rather than punishing them for not doing it.

And I would say...About 4500 dedicated players, less if you don't count the AFKers.

This game is as dead as Planetside 2.

Yes some people will just log in and out, but others will play a few matches, sort of a 'well while I'm here...' thing.

And every time achievements and the like have been brought up they have been shot down with the exact same argument. FORCING PEOPLE TO PLAY THE GAME CERTAIN WAYS IS BAD M'KAY.

I dont think the active player base is even over 20k players, on another note im going to loging each of my alts each day for that sweet weekly bonus of 31,500 SP

F'ing seriously? As in forcing them to not AFK is a bad thing? That is just insane.

Achievements are a tried and true, tested psychological mechanism in like just about every modern game. Just because some EVEtard cries about it isn't a reason to not use them.

You're suggesting that these 20k players play for 4-5 hours a day, every day, in perfect shifts with no overlap.

No, I'm reasonably certain that isn't the case.
