Player Number

[Kaasovic]

How exactly does not releasing stat updates affect player numbers?

Player boredom is why people don't come back or play less often yes? Its been shown in other games and Ni an update can boost numbers if the update is positive or even negative. In the end, it just shows the Ni devs are active and things may have changed that were not in the list of updates such as drop rate for "x".  

Look at a standard updated for Ni you have the bug fixes that most of the time don't really affect the end user but still show the devs are active and trying. Map updates can make or break an update to some people and last of all stats changes. 

Stats changes should be obvious with it being what the end user is like Eg... if all the "bugs" of the upgrades were fixed do you think people would come back just to do the 1 run to see how it's different (What can I 1 shot, What can i Tank etc...). 

Idk updates just bring back people to check to see what has changed and some % of that group does 1 run then 2 then...

Stat alteration have such little impact that I would highly doubt that if not fixed, it will make players leave. As for updates, there is a large one in the make, but complications is holding the release back. There are however other ways that the NordInvasion development team is showing hints they are still active, i.e. awakened legendary rotations, solving player problems etc.
