Losing tons of Players (30 years old+) Unhealthy game. Boost mode ON/OFF

I mean those are monthly summaries? That's not telling you anything current/live:

Peaks:

September 8th: 209,614
September 9th: 205,133
September 10th: 189,362
September 11th: 175,831

Approx 16%~ drop in peaks over 4 days.

Trophs:

September 8th: 98,289
September 9th: 91,525
September 10th: 84,167

Approx 15%~ drop in "late" baseline over 3~4 days.

Last 30 Days 82,124.6 +56,863.3 +225.10% 352,104

That 352,104 peak was on Sunday and dropped by 100k in less than 48 hours. Granted the free weekend contributes to that which is why I never included it to begin with. It's a massive outlier without being able to determine what % were playing that way vs those that were paid players.

if you play with controller and play warrior with multiple abilities, 2 warcries and auto attack there just isnt enough buttons even if you never had to press dodge roll much less had a dodge roll and a sprint. Unless you could bind joystick clicks and I dont know about it.

The pattern goes like this:

Start playing something that isn't Dead Eye > Get to the end game and realise it's cancerous and you should have rolled Dead Eye instead to just clear things off screen before they activate so that the game is playable at the ultra high-end > but the Campaign is a slog and tedious to repeat > the cost of getting a Dead Eye going is astronomical > result: play something else.

Even if that's true, and neither one of us has the data to know, that isn't a problem. It's exactly what GGG needs from EA participation.
SSF Rise of the Abyssal Ice Strike Invoker, high survivability and fast clear speed. Deprioritize armor and resistances; prioritize crafting a weapon and faster start of ES recharge. Build is shown at level 47, end of Act 3. It tore through Act 3 like butter.

Guys, every game in the universe that has a sprint function has it tied to a dodge function. It is nearly impossible to assign a sprint function to ANY button that doesn't also trigger dodge. Unfortunately, even GGG can't achieve this. So complex it has never been done before.

200k still going.

You've been touting this number repeatedly but we're closer to 175K now with the drop-off growing every day and the "late time" base dropping consistently too.

Based on POE ninja only about 15% of the base is hitting level 95 or higher and of those 71% are DE.
[...]


Steam numbers are worse than useless for this because they count player-hours, not individual players, and don't count non-Steam players.

PoE Ninja is worse than useless for this because it only counts the tiny minority (made of the most engaged players) that opted in in the website to make their accounts public.

Depends on the controller I guess ?

We've recently had this issue with Magicka 2 : the Xbox One gamepad straight didn't seem to have enough buttons for every action, while the Switch 1 Joy Cons (both), only had when separated (for those extra 2x2 buttons on the sides). The Steam Controller though had enough thanks to the 2 rear grip buttons.

Yes, of course. It's so F'ing ridiculous that we can't disable or assign sprint to it's own key that I can't even think of a serious response. I opened my "mouth" and something as stupid as the design of sprint in PoE2 came out.
Oh im sleeping on my space bar - also framerate so smoth when many apps on PC smth possible way. OH ABOUT PLAYERS IM TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLE players honestly. Also dat deep contrast Old Game exp possible to switch LIKE TO DIABLO 2 RESSURRECTED. (Rly want to disable enable function to play through Personally) Subhannallah.


P.S or disable sprint special Room (Possible Fun Small Games reminds of dota2 Custom Maps) like dat Japanese girl watching you ( Like old bosses kinda feeling xD ) - turns around you better never run, eats You xDDD just loving dat old style way to be in de History !!!
