The daily player numbers were never this low in the first month of CoO or Warmind. Both those expansions still saw players come back and then they eventually dropped off again, but this is different. Literally no one came back for SotD. The population actually dropped the first week it released. Even BA didn't drop to 600k until the final week or so. The games been averaging about 550k this season.

Feb 28th lowest PVP pop at 191k. March 6th lowest PVE pop at 457k (this was Season if the drifter launch week). Both of these are days during the Annual Pass.

Now 400k pvp 600k pve. I do believe that not much was going on at the beginning of launch until more content was released. Also I've haven't seen those number that low since difter wild. I call bs on this one. I mean even the current numbers isn't as great as when forsaken was released.

You’re taking the PVP number from Destiny Tracker, which is inflated by Gambit which they count twice once in PVE and once in PVP. Other trackers count just crucible so you don’t even have the correct numbers. 2) You believe wrong. Launch week was the first new content in over a month, the debut of Gambit Prime, a 50 light increase, and 2 tiers of Reckoning. 3) I said they were the lowest of the Annual Pass Era (but match up with the Curse of Osiris Era of D2Y1. Try keeping up with the conversation if you’re going to pipe in. The numbers haven’t been that low in Seaosn 6, but they haven’t been good, and they have never come close to the over a million in Forsaken or over 2 million in Age of Triumph and Rise of Iron in Destiny.

Agreed except for one thing. There was a brief spike right at the beginning of SotD....but it was extremely short-lived. Then people hung around to get the pinnacle weapons. But now I think we're seeing that most people have those....and engagment numbers are starting to tank. But you're right. The only time numbers got this low during Year 1 ws in the darkest days of Curse of Osiris, and right before Warmind dropped. So numbers wouldn't get this low for almost another month....and in an enviroment where no new content had been been added to the game. several months. But to see this just a few weeks after a new content drop is BAD. Scary bad. Which is why---once again---I'm just stunned that Bungie is letting this pissing contest over Enhancement Cores drag out like this. There is NO scenario here, where this ends well for Bungie, if they don't fix this....and I mean REALLY fix it.

Div2 has been excellent, with a few little bugs here and there. That's just from my experiences with PvE, I've yet to try DZ's or pvp. With borderlands 3 coming in the fall, I think D2 will see numbers drop to record lows. Say all the bad things about gearbox you want, they did a fantastic job with 2 and I know they'll do just as well with 3.

NIPPLE SALADS !!!!!!!!

Deciding your opinion on a game you haven't seen is the pinnacle of fanboy stupidity. Gearbox has been a shit factory for nearly a decade.

[quote][quote]Judging the success of Borderlands 2 and their lackluster pre-sequel, [/quote] Gearbox didn't do the Pre-Sequel. 2K Australia did.[/quote] Oh I know, but my point is is that those games are almost a decade old and still have a decently healthy player base for being almost a decade old.

Nothing is going to kill destiny. Been hearing this since 14. Not going to happen. Division 1 was supposed to kill destiny 1 how'd that work out?
-
Bungie already 'killed' Destiny.
-
Of course nothing is gonna kill Destiny. Bungie already killed it.
-
Well in some ppl opinion they think.
-
Not really. I have no problems matchmaking in d2 or d1.
-
DZ is fun, nicely balanced. PvP is a sh*t show of shield weilding, SMG rushers. Division 2 is a great game though, haven't been back to Destiny 2 since it was released.

[quote]I think 2019 year is gonna be make or break for Bungie[/quote] Benn hearing that since 2014 and the only thing Bungie achieved was make their game worst.

It went up for a bit but it’s been d2y1 low ever since. I would have to look it up but the record lowest days for both modes happened in the middle of BA.

Take Gambit's padding effect away from the PVP numbers....and we're looking at Curse of Osiris numbers again.

[quote]Take Gambit's padding effect away from the PVP numbers....and we're looking at Curse of Osiris numbers again.[/quote] There has been at least one day during Black Armory when they were almost the exact same.

I must have missed that one....

[quote]I must have missed that one....[/quote] I gotta look it up. I have almost every day in the Annual Pass’s population through arc week screen shoted on my phone it’s a pain to type out and organize and label so I haven’t done it for a post yet. I did however note there was a day where it was the lowest, and they were almost exactly the same as back in CoO.

Wow. You went all-in to fight Bungie's wish NOT to have any source where you can follow engagement trends over time. Strong work.

Their name is Wheelaa1. They are the real MVP. That’s how I found the daily stats from D2Y1 to compare the pass stats to.
