4500, as i post this. That isn't any lower than we've ever seen. But it's the weekend and so people like me aren't at school. A lot of people also aren't at work.
Player counts are fine. It's just that not everybody can play all the time. Or even as much as we want to.
We don't need doom and gloom over player counts there fine. |

Before 1.4 playercount was 5k at peak weekdays, or maybe just below that. On weekends playercount was around 5.5k at peak.
After 1.4 those numbers have dropped to 4k and 4.5k weekdays and weekends respectively.
That sounds like a drop to me.
because before 1.4 people like me were still on summer break. There is a lot of people that were on summer break |

That sounds like a drop to me. Before 1.4, I was on holiday. After 1.4, I'm at work. I can't play Dust every day.
We don't have massive drops in player count like a lot of people think |

i'm glad there not. I want the game to be at least a 7 out of 10 before a lot of ads start popping up. |

The "summer" excuse was weak too, i only have 2 weeks summer break and kids don't go on holidays for a full 2 months. You always have more people playing in the weekend, simply because people have more time to play.
Hopefully now that the game mechanics are getting better, the aiming is getting more and more balanced, and the matchmaking is starting to work, we will start to see the player-base getting bigger and stronger.
I do play games after school but sometimes i'm just plain tired. Getting up early and then coming home to do another 2 hours of work takes it out of you. My holiday is from the about the 23th of june to september 5th. Basically 2 months.
I'm simply stating that because players can't play during the week as often, doesn't mean we're losing players. |
