In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their new streaming schedule and observations about the game’s activity levels on Western servers. They mention that previously they streamed late at night but have shifted to streaming in the afternoons on weekdays. During these new times, they noticed a significant decline in available parties and overall server activity. The speaker questions whether this decline is due to a reduction in the player base or just the time of day. They examine Steam charts, confirming a drop in daily active players, attributing this partly to a recent bot banwave. Additionally, they speculate that the upcoming tier 4 announcement may have led many players to take a break from the game until the new content is released.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the decline in the player base for a game and its impact. While acknowledging that reduced player numbers can be healthy for final player engagement, it negatively affects those still actively playing by making it harder to form parties, especially during non-peak times. Although upcoming solo raids might slightly improve the situation, the speaker remains skeptical about their overall benefit to end-game players. They speculate that the announcement of Tier 4 content has contributed to this drop, as many players question the value of their current efforts knowing new advancements are on the horizon. The staggered content release between Korea and other regions also contributes to this dynamic, leaving non-Korean players feeling behind. The speaker notes that while simultaneous releases are unlikely, the impending update in Korea might still rekindle interest despite the wait for its global release.
