So where are gamemodes? People are crying for new content and to be honest there isn't a whole lot to do. Keep doing what you're doing CCP, I'm just theorycrafting. I may have stumble onto something while writing another thread.
Wht exactly is our player base at peek times? 4k? 5k? Let's say it is 5k, that seems fair. Right now we have 4 gamemodes. So evenly, that makea 1,250 in each mode. Oh wait, the 3 regions split the server, right? So evenly that could be 450 players. These are hypothetical figures based on a few facts we know.
Let's say they make FW viable what happens to the playerbase? Well that changes it to 5 gamemodes 5k/5. So 333players in a single gamemode at peek times.
What happens if they introduce PVE? Yeah we all want that right? I can't begin to speculate but if I were to guess how the shift would happen about half will try PVE regularly for atleast a week. So, what does that do to pubs?
At peek that would make the playerbase of any given pub mode 166 players. Probably, 4-5 games running at once.

Maybe they would have enough people to fill out the new game modes if there was some more damn content.

Anyway, my theory is that they are holding back content until the player base grows. |

The playerbase isn't likely to grow until several glaring issues are corrected. One of those is new player retention. Without PvE new players are subject to a rather grueling experience, one lacking any less harsh ways to play, at that. Which is a major reason why many new players pick the game up and put it back down soon after. |

Playerbase won't grow unless there's content. |

PVE content, more maps, new hit detection system are all crucial and in the works.
New player acquisition will require a much broader marketing program.
New player retention will require some kind of incentive and coddling, like 2x SP for 30 days and expanded Academy/Training modes or some ****.
Even then, it's an uphill battle with consoles where everybody jumps from FotM to FotM. |
