Feedback from longtime 36/40 and 40/40 player about challenge design

Easier and quicker challenges will make me wanna come back every patch even more. So on the contrary, it does indeed boost player retention.


Doesn't matter for how long I play, if I keep returning to the game every league then the challenge system is working perfectly as intended.

Whether the changes I want happen or not doesn't really matter, farming a few quick divines and throwing them at carry services is ez

I don't think.....you understand what the metric "player retention" is.

YOU coming back for something has absolutely no correlational or causational relationship to "player retention".

That requires far more proof than a singular anecdotal piece of evidence from a player as unique as yourself.



That's like a person saying "well...I personally believe that the earth is flat, therefore its logical that the flat earth theory has credibility."

player retention is about the bigger picture, and not just the habit of a single individual.

Ex: "retention" from personal experience.....may be a part of a greater LACK of retention across the whole system. But I bet you didn't consider that, ever.

Or even just the possibility that.....if the challenges as-is have a positive effect on retention, then a CHANGE in that system may result in a BETTER positive effect.

Considering that, even someone such as yourself who is ALL ABOUT the easy challenges (probably the single most vocal player arguing for these), the current system only gets you to come back for a week.....then there CERTAINLY are better systems out there for greater retention, with longer effects.
