player base is tanking so much lately. It doesnt bother me much. The entire reset content as of late can be done in less then 25mins, including battle grounds! Really love investment game, not addicting at all. Perfect for mobile users that need something to pass by time when bored.
2-3 people quit in my guild each week (Top 8 on the realm), in my opinion this game is really bad at F2P. Raid shadow legends for example has much better f2p mechanics. To many new heroes come out, only P2P players can play them. The problem on AFK Journeys is that you need a lot of copys and essence to even work with the most heroes, that makes the gameplay slow and boring.
sooner or late, they're introduce merging or servers. If it doesnt turn around, maybe mid-late september if player base continutes to tank after season release & honestly...if I were to pay for a game it would be something to brag about. Not saying gacha games arent cool or anything, but if I'm I were to spend $100/month, it would be on something more like an MMO that cross platforms onto mobile. I thank everybody who pays tho, so i can stay f2p ;)
Same, just joined a new guild because my last guild only had 3 active members left. Now we are down to 9 active members in the new one. Hoping for a proper merge like @dbzownz12345 said.
Hey Barry, love the content! Another thing to consider is that the spenders are probably s+ minimum on the majority of champs now. So theyre spending less on pulls that they did at first. But also if word got around more about pluto mall etc more players may have spent there than in-game which would skew the figures even more. Potentially there could even be an increase overall, while still showing a decrease in mobile spending.
Not gonna lie, imo the amount of money poured into advertisement just pulled a lot of people in who simply expected a different kind of game. Now the numbers are dropping but its because the people who arent ment to enjoy the aspects of idle gacha game are leaving.
I do buy the chain packs and the monthly gazzettes. I don't buy any of the amber diamonds packs and never will. I also don't buy any stargazer summons. So yeah...for me this is a fairly cheap game
think I spent about 60. 20 for 2 passes, 20 for season pass because wanted the xp boost as I started late on it. 20 for some celestial pulls. then 1 or 2 for the rowan. lol
Barry, you said HSR was inflated. In truth that was deflated because it froze before Firefly. So, we didn't get revenue for firefly in that number at all.
I use android so expect a couple million to be added when it updates for me please. Also i play on pc to record and what not when i play. But i make most of my purchases on pc.
what if i buy it on the pc installment? that shouldnt be going through google? my original mail is connected in the game but not my google account? how does this work? cuz this is the reason i couldnt link my dislyte and afk journey accounts, since my pc account for afk journey is linked to the plutomail and the farlight account management system

Sometimes I feel like the only person who thinks this game is amazing? 🤷♀ Im enjoying the hell out of it as a competitive FTP player. Really excited for the future of the game!
i can see why they are down they try to sell A rank units twice if they just stop doimg that they should not be on the red who would be in the right mind use premium tickets to pull for a ranks that are relatively weaker than s. rank ones a rank heroes need alot of investment
When it comes to gacha games you aren't just making purchases they are investments because if the game doesn't continue to do well and shuts down you lost your investment.
@@Ice-Cold-14 Even so, it's not like Lilith would offer refunds if they were to suddenly pull the plug on AFK Journey, because you paid to progress faster and have fun with all kinds of heroes.
@@remnants9974i think you misunderstand, he probably do cares about the misplaced over-emphasis that people place on the financial well-being of a company, companies that are well known themselves to not reciprocate that same level of concern for their players when they extract up to the last penny out of their players pockets. In other words, he is probably saying "companies dont care about you, so why should you?"
@@alledzebu1975 that's pretty funny then. personally I don't "care about the well-being" of a company out of the goodness of my heart or because I expect it to care about me. rather because I enjoy the game so I don't want it to die so that I can't play it anymore.
Long period of drought. Boring dailies such as chase a lizard or bring the terrabirds to their marked location. While other mobile games are having a big summer celebratiom with tons of free rewards. The only new announcement we got is a new hypo/cele character named Talene. While she herself looks great. The majority of the playerbase are still trying to get their Reinier to Mythic+ And if you really want to bring out their full potentional, You gotta bring them to Supreme+ which as a F2P player roughly takes 6-8 months depending on your luck. By the time you got Reinier to Mythic+ or Supreme+. He will be already powercrept by 5-8 New hypo/cele characters. The amount of stargazer orbs you get is flat out ridiculous. unrewarding and demotivating. This is such a huge issue that even Volkin, Wraec, Turtle and Zeaboo adressed this issue.
Having 2 "A" rate up heros back to back was the reason that no one is spending as much now.
First.
This decline in revenue is pretty common for new games , as the hype slowly fades along with the player base.

Purely a P.C. player here and a light/low mid-spender. I've never bought any Dragon Crystal packs; I buy the monthly Gazettes and some 1200% popups.

Np 😅

It went from 19 > 12 > 7 m
And back to 70
@@sanpeanut Nice!
5% is not a lot considering app store takes 30%
They are still using a 3rd party to process those transactions though, but yeah I bet it's still only like 5% to them too

That website that they recommend you use to get an extra 5% dragon crystals are making me think they dodge fees/hide revenue even more
I do buy the chain packs and the monthly gazzettes. I don't buy any of the amber diamonds packs and never will. I also don't buy any stargazer summons. So yeah...for me this is a fairly cheap game
I honestly never remember Plutomall exists. But mainly cuz I don’t buy the crystals in the shop either.

As an IH player i got used to the game being so poorly developed that i feel like AFKJ is the best game on 🌎
Haha not wrong most of the time on this one
Update in 2 days and no info ...
What do you mean no info literally release of talene
We should see patch notes tomorrow I believe
Barry, you said HSR was inflated. In truth that was deflated because it froze before Firefly. So, we didn't get revenue for firefly in that number at all.
The 5% is not the main draw to using Pluto Mall...but I suppose it depends on where you live.

Game blows ass, glad to see the consumers show their discontent
This game is dead before the end of the year

12 + 7 = a lot of green🤑

I'm not sure your experience here is quite accurate. XD
Copium
i wonder how idle heroes are doing.
About $2-3m a month
i can see why they are down they try to sell A rank units twice if they just stop doimg that they should not be on the red who would be in the right mind use premium tickets to pull for a ranks that are relatively weaker than s. rank ones a rank heroes need alot of investment
Umm, why should we care how much money AFK Journey is making? We're customers, not service providers. The only money we need to care about is our own.

It adds up so fast.....
