FAF stats

[sierra109]

I am trying to collect some data on the FAF fan base and would appreciate it if you took this very short survey about FAF https://goo.gl/forms/b4S6CzDzGEyxFVlg2

Following on from my last graph, I decided to investigate how many "active" players we have in each rating group.

I decided that "active" for globally rated games was 50 games or more:

From this we can see that the growth in active players is mainly driven from people with global MEANS in the 1000 - 1500 range (aka, ~800 to 1300 rating)


The larger numbers of these players masked trends for higher rated groups in this graph, so I decided to plot them separately:


While there were never very many players in the 2000+ mean bracket (1800+ rating) there has been a clear downward trend, with there only being half the number active in that group as this time two years ago.

I also did the same for ladder, with "active" meaning 10 games or more in a month (since fewer ladder games are played:

Here its quite clearly the low rating groups which are the odd ones out, with the number of active people with 1000 mean or less (~800 rating or less) on ladder increasing drastically in recent months.

All other rating groups for ladder seem to be falling significantly though.

Topic for posting stats on FAF.

Any posts without a (proper*) graph I'll ask to be deleted.

Spoiler: show

I'd like to point out that the spike in low-rated players coincides with a dip in the two tiers immediately above them (In rating). Is that explained by, for whatever reason, players rated ~1400 dropping rating and becoming lower rated, or is that not how this works, suggesting an influx of new players?

Now plot releases on the same graph and map pool changes etc.

Main date to put on there is removal of map pool selection.

and ladder map pool changes but i think that they dont seem to change much

Not a new chart, but here to advertise my new stats website: http://softled.northeurope.cloudapp.azu ... ps?map=560

Just some maps stuff right now, we'll see if I upgrade it any further.

As you can see in the second graph, some shit is about the go down with ladder.

Hey softly,

if you are still interested, I wrote a server script, that could run any SQL query and upload it to the content server. If run by a cron job it could be even done automatically on a regular schedule.

If you need any SQL queries I could help you as well*

soflty is it possible to know what's the % games played on water map with water mexx vs the one played on water map without water mexx nowadays (2-3 last months would be enough i guess) ?

[Softly]

Would need 1) a dump of the maps DB and 2) Someone to label up all the water maps.

Happy to draw a graph if someone gives me the data for it.
