If they all played dropships they'd quit in a day. |

Hopefully it's the start of a meaningful trend and not just a bubble caused by the official launch. |

I hate to even post this here, since some new players might read it and I want the game to do well.
But launch was premature.
From only one players perspective drop-ships are bugged right now to near uselessness, even if you ignore being recently nerfed (why?) into uselessness and having a useless role with no reward as of yet.
And that's just me. Good thing pilots only make up <0.1% of the playerbase because if issues like this existed for AR the forums would be screaming bloody murder.
But even from a ground perspective there are problems which I don't understand how they're still happening. AR=OP. most people think aiming is wonky. These trillion disconnects a day (while relating to PSN) never happened before the last update. Dust messed something up BAD. Yes, those disconnects cost me 1.5 million each game. From someone who has to earn that back on the ground in militia gear making <100k a match, it HURTS.
people can complain about gfx but really who cares. They'll improve over-time and if Dust was what it COULD BE nobody would give a crap how it looked.
players cant send players isk, corps cant send players (out of corp) isk. Noob players can't choose to que outside the Academy. Logi somehow is still a better assault suit than assault. They should have worked some of this out first.
even if ignoring the thousand issues around DS bugs and balance. |

I assume Battle Academy is helping.
Best addition to Uprising by far, I'm no longer being teamed up or thrown against newbs (Except the odd few that wont get out of MLT stuff  ) and battles seem to be more intense and fun now. |

It's probably the influx from all the articles that went up all over the place. Keep in mind though that even very accessable games loose most of the initial spike in a matter of days. Reliable numbers come from monthly or weekly trends at best. Let us hope it's not the end of it. |

After this weekend I have a feeling it'll go right back down to 3k lol. Once they see how much is broken! |

It's nice to see the player count grow, but the test is consistency. If it's 6k now, it should be 8k in a month, 10k in two months, etc. Hopefully we see CONTINUOUS growth. If seems to level off after two months... then we're in trouble. Because over time, the existing player base will dwindle (as with any game) If you don't CONTINUE to bring new faces into the mix, the game will slowly die off. |

In addition to bumping this thread, I will say that if there are any new players that have questions while in game, ASK THEM.
I helped (or at least attempted to help) a few new people last night and helped someone today asking about a fitting on the forums. I'm more than happy to lend a hand with fitting questions/skill questions.
Also, kudos to the guys that are also doing the good deeds and assisting others. Especially Bojo, Logi Bro, and the Dust Uni guys.

Indeed, the true test is consistency. However, I'm not particularly expecting any huge growth until at least the next content update. At the moment, I'd say there's a fairly steady, dedicated core playerbase of about 2500-3000 players, judging by current player count and how many accounts were created in the last few days. Some of those new players will stay, some will go, only time will tell, but I very much doubt that this build will keep most players interested.
However, come the next content update, hopefully players will come back and see a lot of improvement, and pass the word around to friends to start them playing. Word of mouth is the key idea here, and is the best way to get games to sell in the modern world, rather than by good reviews. |

I believe that when a new player runs Dust, the game needs to do a much better job of introducing the importance of socializing to the newbie. There should be messages screaming "JOIN A CORP", "EXPLORE THE FORUMS", "TALK ON THE CHAT CHANNELS", maybe even make it look like in game propoganda. This game is about the connections you make and too many people who start playing don't realize it. |

Not trying to ruin the optimism, but It's only been above 6000 about an hour, 6000-ish is the peak right now, I think if it were to hold 6000+ for at least a good portion of the day, every day, then it could be called a consistent.
Like look at Tranquility, the EVE server, it caps out at about the mid to high 40k and can push low and mid 50k range, however, it would be more accurate to say it consistently has players in the high 30k range.
Though, I too want to see what numbers Dust will be pushing on the weekend.
**EDIT**
I think the word you were going for there was concurrent. |

You know I noticed last night I was doing a lot better solo than I normally do (since uprising). And it kind of hit me... the newberries are no longer on my team being easy targets that cause my team to split up and get curb stomped. Instead in their place are players who actually have a somewhat firm grasp of the game.
One might think that I should have done better before since the newberries are so easy to kill, but I did a heck of a lot better last night without having to deal with players who are clueless. Made such a huge difference.
Could have been coincidence, but it was nice. |
