Fenris armour is pretty awesome though. +9 movement speed? Yes please.

some food tweaks and some things to use your woodhammer on and a cave in a already existing mountainbiome is not real content FOR ME and ALL THE PLAYERS that play NOW

you can argue how much you want, we have different definitions of it.

For at least some people H&H and Frost Caves wouldn't be enough content to revisit, especially if it meant new world or unsupported mods to update world.

im aware that smaller update may not bring alot of players back to the game. players coming back was not my point

doesnt change the fact that any update that brings content big or small is still a real content update.

mistlands is the first major content update its not how ever the first real content update.

I just don't expect people to use language correctly, "real" is one of those terms with very flexible meanings colloquially.

content is content no matter how much is added. H&H update as well as mountian caves are all still real content updates.

Mistlands is the biggest update for sure sence the games launch.

however Mistlands being bigger with content does NOT make it any more or less as a real content update as the others have been.

an update that only brings bug fixes/preformence fixes and no content. is what really is not a real content update.

Big new update mainly, but the game has sold millions of copies by now as well.

Early access game that is not made to have FOMO or player retention. The game will eventually have a definitive end and most likely won't have any reason to continue playing after completing the story, at least outside of "because you wanted to."

No fear of missing out or forced player retention with things only obtainable for limited windows that you'll miss out on forever if you don't play is why the game will dip in numbers when there has not been a major update and inverse; it will spike when new content has been added. Games as a service are the only ones that really matter with player count, MMO's or PVP games. Battle passes and season exclusives are the most common forced player retention models, which pray on the users fear of missing out to get them to feel obligated to play or else miss out on the "thing."

Besides, player count means nothing for private peer to peer multiplayer games. It matters not how many random people around the world are playing, only the ones you're in contact with to play together with.

Because its literally that good.

Possibly because it's a good game?

who said it's bad?

The release of Mistlands. Now get lost (in the mist)!
