Celtic Heroes

We’ve worked with streamers/content creators before in niche areas (both had around 200k subs on YouTube) and found that the benefits were very very short lived, boost in new players for a couple of days which quickly dropped with little retention. Now that may be different for a super big name but I doubt it without sustained coverage.

boost in new players for a couple of days which quickly dropped with little retention.

Maybe this is where VR should be focusing. Obviously the game is good enough to get people in, so why is there so little retention. Lack of substantial early to mid game content once the tutorial is finished. Maybe adding alternative Armour quests so that not everyone is stuck at the bottleneck of Frozen and DL Armour. New mid game bosses that drop gear that players can actually use for more than 25 levels and that they can actually attain before they’re 30 levels over the equip level.

More actual in game content can solve so much

I'd actually say it's the other way around, lack of mid-endgame content. Early game actually has a pretty good selection of content, but once you get to 110+ in the otherworld, you start to run out of things to do, and the level grind starts. That's why there usually seems to be a pretty good selection of <100 players throughout the game, but not many getting past that to go on to endgame. It also has to do with this being a mobile game, that requires huge amounts of time dedicated to progressing past midgame. I don't really have a problem with it (in theory) but a lot of people just starting the game may want something more casual....once it starts getting more hardcore, they move on to something more interesting then hours of lixing.


I don't think more bosses is the answer though. It's usually pretty hard to assemble a good bossing group at midgame levels. IMO the game should focus more on horizontal content that can be done solo...more like cooking and fishing. More bosses don't really count as horizontal content...all it does is bring in more loot choices for the top players on the server.

It’s more to do with the fact that typically a streamers audience only remains interested in what that streamer is currently doing and tend to follow them to the next thing. As mentioned below Apex Legends is a great recent example of this.
