LOLā¦
I can tell your SO madā¦ Iām sorryā¦
Lookā¦ So you said I tried to pass my personal feelings as factsā¦ Wellā¦ If you knew they were my personal feelings, how does that workā¦ Youāre trying to say I tried to pass my opinion off as factā¦ However, The last line of my post that got you all rilled up wasā¦ āWe will seeā. How does one even MAKE a statement of fact about something in the futureā¦
Thereās so many plot holes in your narrative here the short bus you rode in on has a flatā¦ Now go home Mad Boy.
I dont know how much evaluation AGS does from people that have stopped playing. The ones still playing dont give feedback why the others have left or stopped.
So go and ask people that have stopped between 1-30
Go and ask people that have stopped between 30-60
Go and ask people that have stopped after 60
Go and ask why people are still playing
Each group will probably give different reasons why they did not play further or are still playing.
What we all know and see is that there is a lack of new players joining the game. It would significantly reduce the downwards spiral of player numbers if new players picked up the game, but they dont. So you need to get some data why they do not pick up the game.
And I assume most of them which were kind of interested but did not pick it up were relying on some feedback in anykind (Web news, Reddit, Forums, other Players, Reviews on Steam etc.). And if you look at the average tendency of this game Reputation it mostly has a Negative ādo not pickup this gameā.
So as long as there are no positive news about the game maybe also some streamers / influencers / journalists statingā¦ āget back into it, it has this and that new things bla blaā like it was the case in No mans sky.
As long as this game only fumbles around with only the existing players it will have an overall decreasing playership (it is natural that people just move on to other games and so on, but usually this is compensated with new players).
So as a developer I would focus on "how do we get new players or old players that stopped somewhere in the middle to return, while the ones having done everything still have something to grind on (like i.e. the town reputations, you could bind for example skins to certain town reputation ranks, that would be already enough for hardcore grindheads).
Anyone that has even a basic grasp of psychology can see the emotional borderline rage spilling through with that opening line . The capital āLOLā you had to willfully do, the excessive use of ellipses, the various coping mechanisms and intellectually dishonest debate tactics youāve tried to deploy . You can say what you want, butā¦ anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see how worked up you are right now lol.
Whoa, relax. You stated things as if they were facts, then when asked to back those facts, resorted to deflection and insults. You stated clearly
And all I did was ask you where you got that number of 1/4. If you had said it was just an opinion, cool. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But you didnāt say that. So all I did was ask.
And your response is
Awesome. Mature response. Especially considering all I did was ask you to support your claim. Not sure how that made me a troll.
I refuted this 2x nowā¦ SO hereās the 3rdā¦
I gave my opinion and you said I was wrong and you have sourcesā¦
You never answer about what part I was wrong aboutā¦
Then you claim I tried to pass my opinion off as fact, when I even saidā¦ We will seeā¦
You then tried to pass YOUR opinion off as factā¦
Youāre a messā¦ go homeā¦ (momās basement is a bit embarrassing at 42 yrs old.)
You tried to state that forums are always excessively negative.
Iām sorry, I thought you were intelligent enough to understand that when I said that was incorrect because these are the official forums and not a 3rd party forum. I then linked information that supported this.
I also thought by linking the Steam statistics and saying you had no basis for assuming people would come back just because of the update when the feedback was overwhelmingly negative you understood that this was directly addressing your opinion and refuting it. The data shows that not a single update has increased the number of players.
I meanā¦ which point were you looking for me to refute an additional time? How many times must I address it and refute it before you acknowledge its been addressed and refuted?
Nah man lol. Iām a pothead lol I rarely get angry. I also tend to disassociate a lot. My emoji choices are from decades of mutual misunderstandings communicating online. Words actually only make up a small percentage of communication. Tonality and body language are actually the biggest factors in successful communication. Iāve embraced this principal and encorporated it into my online communications long ago.
I am stupid for asking a question because you state that a game that has had no content added has more endgame content, a game where forums are being exploded by complaints about balance is more balanced than ever and is an overall better game than itself?
I actually have no idea what game you are playing but it is not New World thatās for sure. They are working to make things better but most of your statements are not true YET.
. The capital āLOLā you had to willfully do, the excessive use of ellipses, the various coping mechanisms and intellectually dishonest debate tactics youāve tried to deploy 
, so now he has to show his or he owes me a steakā¦ 
!
. If you simply like it, thereās not much I can say about that! Rock on Psymon!
