nellone Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 According to www.steamcharts.com warframe had 28k players on january and it growed very much, gaining almost 50k of players on july... but!Someting happening... quite fastly our game is loosing his playerbase and now we are turned back on january, we have again 28k of players, or only a bit more with the last new frame. What do you think about this trend? I know only that i switched many clans, they are all dead and the last is dying just now... almost all of my friends don't play anymore... i'm very sad about that! My thought is wf has a desperate need of "end game" content,... i'm mr 20, the game now is not enough rewarding.... no more challanges, no more fun...

AM-Bunny Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Fallout came out. That's pretty much it. They'll all come back. Warframe isn't dying, if that's what you're implying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surtur Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Well, couple of things I guess Update 17 and also the fact it was summer Edit: How could I forget? I have been playing it.

KiloFoxx Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 the veterans like myself will pop in for the major updates and burn out the content, going on hiatus again for a month or two. it's not really on decline, just not curning out enough content to keep the veterans like myself busy to keep logging in on the daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pridesfury Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 U18 will fix 90% of what failout4 took from us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seniledark Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Lots of new games came out including fallout 4. I too will quit warframe for some time to play this as well as dark souls 3(when that comes out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)MoRockaPDX Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I think if you could go back further and look at the trends you would find a similar pattern, only with fewer members. I don't know exact figures but I would venture to guess that the near 30k active members would be the old peak about a year ago, and around half that when a major title or titles gets relaesed, like Destiny for example.

bowiespoon Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 many players only pop after a big update, and leave again after the burnout overcomes the novelty the update brings. If we want to retain players, we will need to completely restructure warframe. The grind will need to be fun Missions be dynamic quests be replayable swordplay and gunplay 'feel' better mastery ranks need to die violently stealth, stealth, stealth weapon rebalance stealth a real endgame - and everyone knows that endgame tends to involve pvp, so conclave rework and lastly, pbr on everything, because you can't have enough shiny stuff.

Mods have been available for games for years. Mods being more available for console may help staying power, but I don't think it will change much over the existing paradigm.

(PSN)shadowraith_666 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 well personally i've sorta switched to ESO and FO4, still play WF at times, but other games have kinda taken over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowiespoon Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 God.... so you can read my mind! yes, and don't do that, it's stupid. Just trust me, what you're thinking right now, it won't work out. Fallout 4 and Battlefront just Fallout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praisethasun Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I Kinda agree with you OP....There is just nothing to do in warframe anymore(for me),...i enjoyed wukong,but then again same maps ,same missions. Any new updates are just more okayish weapons,Meh alerts and boosters. But in the recent devstream they game a glimpse into the new hight level daily missions,hopefully they are good enough.

Ziegrif Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Personally I've been out due to Fallout 4 (Which I found disappointing yet entertaining) and I'm just waiting for update 18 now as Wu Kong is going to take a damn long while to get. Reinstalled Morrowind so I guess I'll shift to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dioxety Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Yeah, As others said. Player Population will double for U18 Until around 18.5 and slowly start to decline again until U19. The game is still very healthy and actually still gaining players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)AllOrNothinDays Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 New games and Warframe content is about the new gear and nothing else. Once you get the new gear and maybe have enough resources to wait for new game, you just have no reason to come back unless you're totally in love with the game.

Mastikator2 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 U18 will fix 90% of what failout4 took from us U18 will mean a short break from Fallout 4 and then back to Fallout 4. Warframe is an online game so ultimately I'll probably come back to it as long as I have friends to play with here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinitySinX Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Your observation is good but there is a generic flaw in your analysis. Your basic question is whether warframe will die so the question really is: Do you want 5,000 daily paying customers or 50,000 non paying players. So when you see daily users drop, are they paying or non-paying. Now on to part 2 of this. I think that Warframe still offers a unique proposition to: a. people who have spent too much here to give it up b. people who just come back for a day or 2 every few months to maintain the account c. people who don't have money to buy new games every month and d. people who don't have the systems to play the latest games like Fo4 (like me but that will change in 2 weeks). I wont go into detail on the problems Wf has (there are 5,000 threads on that) but when they start losing their value proposition, gamers will just move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziegrif Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Do you want 5,000 daily paying customers or 50,000 non paying players. So when you see daily users drop, are they paying or non-paying. You want both as the paying customers need others to play with and will get bored if the population drops too much and change games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
