What totally baffles me is that they try to invalidate any negative feedback regarding this dirtpile . By their logic even if we had 1000 players right now that would not mean the game is bad , most likely it would mean that the 200k players that left were idiots, or they conspired together to review bomb the game, or they were all blizzard spies ..stuff like that . Surely you cannot maintain peak count like you had at launch , but to say it is normal to drop down from 500 to 250k and then to 75k and decreasing further on , is totally out of this world .

What other scale you can measure a games success on ?
How big the players smile is or what ?

It's not unthinkable that the player count is decreasing, because the game lacks polish at the moment. I for one would even agree with that sentiment. But this then would also have been to be expected.

But what I can't agree with is this constant babbling about the 0.2 patch being the reason for it all. And that is a sentiment which I will fight and argue against, because it feels to me the main reason people are saying this is because they want to take over the direction game development takes by making it about politics and statements which are unscientific.

if it not 0.2.0

tell me why i stopped when i realized in 0.2.0 that there was nothing to chase, therefore no reason to map, therefore no reason to boss.

some people are ok with running maps forever to collect divine orbs just to say they have alot of divine orbs. thats fine.

people can just find the game fun and do it with nothing to chase. thats fine too.

but a majority of people speaking out are not having this experience.

the core gameplay is not fun enough to justify doing it just for the sake of doing it.

there is no dopamine in runnning a pinnacle and getting a chase item that has beome a 1ex trash unique just like all the rest. thats a problem.

all introduced with patch 0.2.0.

I don't know man. I can't tell you, except that I feel you're exaggerating and that your problems didn't just magically appear with 0.2, because the changes made there don't justify nearly everything you just told me.

But yes, when the game lacks polish, and that's the case at the moment, then all the systems aren't interacting with each other as they should and then the game just isn't fun. But polish takes time and it's not helpful when there's a bunch of people screaming "do this, do that" and then we go trial and error and see if that makes it better. No, a game as complex as this needs feedback, yes, but that feedback needs to be a lot of analytical data which is very time intense to review and analyse and it takes time to make the game better. Time which the devs don't get or might feel like they are not getting when there's constant pressure on them from the community like this.

Stay constructive please. That's my view.
