Destiny 2 Stadia Population Numbers (Updated)
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
You guys are nuts. At least Gambit there is some semblance of fun. Crucible is just to complete challenges.
Gambit hate even here?
Why you hurt me so?
These numbers are terrible no matter how you shake it.
Currently Stadia plays only with Stadia. No cross-play at the moment
Not sure about the cross-play functionality but Stadia is its own platform, not a PC.
welp, I fundamentally misunderstood it then lol
Because Gambit is a terrible game mode. Burn it down and rebuild.
But those are bad numbers. I wonder how many are cross-save players.
damn 13? what's the source of these numbers?
Numbers are based off of anyone who created a character and loaded in
it's pc but isnt stadia based on Linux? so essentially another ecosystem/console for the moment. Cross play is something bungie is looking into in the future, only cross save right now.

Its from a bot that tracks unique logins for that day and what activity people played. Its pretty accurate and tracks all platforms.
Prime specifically, the Invader role is simply too powerful, Collector summons a giant block that can be killed quickly, Reaper...kills stuff?, and the Sentry is actually ok.
A good invader can disable the enemy team in the first couple minutes or less.
Reaper? Sentry? I've played quite a bit of Crucible and those aren't familiar to me.
But yes Invaders are strong but you can also kill them fairly easy. You can predict where they will spawn 95% of the time and react accordingly.
Does warmind.io count loading into the tower as initiating a pve activity?
Because those stadia numbers really look like a bunch of people logging into the tower just to move around see how it feels, maybe booting up the EDZ for a few min and then logging off.
I'd love to know the numbers for people who played 2hrs or more.
Because 44 people in the crucible and 13 people playing gambit makes me think the number of people who logged into d2 on stadia and actually attempted to have a normal play session on stadia is significantly lower than 10k.

lol ngl the only reason i've played much crucible over the past year is to get weapons like recluse and mountaintop...well worth it
Considering literally everybody who has access to Stadia also has access to Destiny 2, those are dreadful figures, even given how poorly Google handled this launch.
In Prime, the Invader with a full set of Invader armor, locks the enemy bank. Throw a bunch of Taken Captains in, get to 25 and invade. Enemy is stuck with motes they can't deposit trying to fight blockers and whatever other enemies, meanwhile the Invader with full set of Invader armor, can wall hack their way to victory. Meanwhile the other team is depositing motes over and over. The invader can come back again three more times, locking the bank each time.
I guess it's technically more than a single dozen. So yes, it does deserve it.Does this deserve a
So Stadia separates the online players from other PC versions? or do these games play with the STEAM and Epic versions of the games? Are the MK11 players playing only with other Stadia players?
Have avoided stating this in the main thread as not to upset some of the fans:
I highly doubt they actually "sold out" of Founder's editions. They immediately had the non-Founder's package available for sale and there are people with ship dates before some Founder's.
I think that was a marketing move.
However I also think they could have shipped all packages day one too; they are staggering shipment on purpose to avoid overloading servers. These numbers might seem low, but they aren't low considering the TF's dedicated to each player.
Although now based on D2 being 1080p@medium, I'm also doubting they are dedicating 10.7 TF to each player, at least for Destiny.

Stadia is it's own platform; up to the game devs how / if crossplay is done.
Destiny 2 doesn't support crossplay but it's in their plans.
I think that's pretty obvious. They just limited the number of Founder's edition there were going to be. It's a pretty common thing to imply rarity.
I don't know why my mind jumped to Stadia = PC for some reason that makes more sense and more cautious for anyone wanting to play MP games on it.
Given D2 is included at no additional cost with the currently mandatory subscription, it makes you wonder what the sales must be like of the paid games on the service. Likely a fraction of D2's player count.
I'm suggesting they didn't even hit that planned limit; just decided to announce it sold out so they didn't... not "sell out."
Ow, like that. It's certainly possible. They likely would've wanted to 'sell out' before launch day comes else it would look like there wasn't much interest.
