[MEGATHREAD] Road Ahead: June 2022 - Datacrons

Thankfully, no one in my ~400M guild has quit since DCs were released. However, there is a lot of negative sentiment, even among the more devout players among us in our first GAC stream since DCs were released.

But the spenders are still spending, so CG probably sees this as a colossal success.

Numbers aren't accurate since 322k players signed up for GAC (so there is no way only ~15k players have datacrons) but gives you a good estimate on the 15k sample size, how many are engaging in datacrons and to what level

Speaking of GAC signups:

one before - 324,708 hits
this one - 322,919 hits

So at most 1.8k players 'retired' but most likely a big chunk of the difference are casual players who missed sign-up and don't play the game daily or check regularly or actively

But going from the number differential and pure number data from before and after datacrons (GAC signups), the whole "people are quitting" is exaggerated in small circles

Get outta here with your data ;)

Does that 1.8k retired take into account new players joining?

It involves everyone, so at the very least gac attendance has shrunk a little. It's not logical to assume noone has retired, just that that number has also been mostly replenished.

I'm curious how many are new players vs retired long time/high GP players

"New" players is a little misleading here, since you have to be level 85 to signup for GAC, so can't be all that new.

But, interesting to see, since about a year ago that number was closer to 450k.

Where does this info exist on swgoh.gg? Can't find it.

The devs behind .gg themselves provided this information on discord

This is very intersting, thank you.

There is also one more point to consider: Last GAC was 3v3 so it begs the question if there were less sign ups than in the 5v5 round before. If yes then the difference would be even higher, meaning more people didn't sign up this time compared to the last 5v5.

Yeah to have any decrease is bad. I get the argument that 1800 accounts isn’t a big deal but we all assume 3v3 had less signups. I’d be interested in the comparison to last 5v5 to see if that’s just a myth or not.

I’m also surprised to see 320ish as the number. When gac changes went live I saw someone who tracks gac saying 400k players if this was released by the same people that is extremely bad. I doubt it is though.

So serious question.

You guys use datacron to make a lower tier character good during the "season".

I invest to get say ugnaught up to snuff to use the Dcron...

When do i get reward for my investment next?

Ugnaught goes back to lower tier when the season is over, so whats the real point to me investing in him?

For end tier users that have everyone into the relic levels, i see this as good thing... for those of us who dont have r0 or higher on everyone, not so much

If you don't want to R7 Ugnaught, reroll the last tier of the Datacron.

But if i do... when is it reusable again?
