When are people finally going to understand that twitch views don’t matter?
Seriously, they don’t, they never have. Twitch viewers aren’t watching because of the game that’s being played. They’re watching because the person they follow is online or they’re watching for rewards.
People don’t watch Asmongold for example, because he’s playing Diablo 4 or Path of Exile or Last Epoch etc etc. They are watching Asmongold because it’s Asmongold.
The people they follow couldn’t bare to play it anymore and most of all their chats are complaining that they are playing it because its boring to watch.
The ladders’ integrity was compromised the second Duriel mats were duped… and they are still being duped en masse. You can buy 50 full sets (or 200 Duriel runs in a rotation group) for a measly 100 mil gold right now. That’s the equivalent of farming bounties for 2-3 hours.
id say the more impressive number is of the 30k steam copies sold there is a 24hr high of 21k on steam. so that retention rate of over 67%. how many copies sold total? over 12mil? 67% retention…hmm.
i mean it’s clear to everyone that D4 failed hard already, literally d3 level, wont be any difference at least before expansion.
The main question is how they will try to sell this expansion? Based on what? Even “success” of s4 is not near enough, most likely, we will again see attempts to play on nostalgia for D2 with maximum efforts to hide the fact that this is d3 ressurected.
But maybe we will finally see some new mechanics in expansion? Will it be a really new game? LMAO who knows
not like this is any of our concerns, but it seems like the season 3 success is already quite enough lol. (and im the one to say i didnt like s3 too much)
My bet in expansion we will see:
AH
Group finder
New class
SSF type and full open trading leagues
Probably nothing more. So basically we will pay for common QOL in any other game and some random new class. Paladin or whatever. O yeah probably armory too.
nah i saw it, but this does not mean anything, is 6.7 million players who died from guards a lot or a little? Idk 2.5 millions unique chars? Is this good or bad?
While there is no information about the average online, at least in the first 3-4 weeks, it does not matter imho.
And to be honest, we do not know what numbers of the average online are considered successful for them.
