I’ve loved the dev stats since they came out, I even have a pinned tab with the dev stats for my game permanently open, they’re really useful. These are few things which I think would make them even better.
-
Max Concurrent Players
Each hour has a tag for max concurrent players when you mouse over the different points of the Visits Chart. This would be very nice to see how the game was running while I was away/asleep, or if the visits are bunched into a short spike, or spread out over the hour/day/month. -
Average Play Time Until Item Purchase in the CSV Monthly Download
I’ve recently started using the CSV download quite a lot; looking at how my different products are performing. It would be super if the ‘average time a player spends in-game until they purchase something’ is included for each product. -
A List of Errors
I’ve used a few different analytics websites to record errors (gameanalytics.com, Google Analytics, Mixpanel), but they all have limitations and don’t always display errors effectively. A simple output-style list would be really nice, and possibly even a button which will put you in the server the error came from if it’s still running. -
Average “Up-Time” of Servers
I can never be sure if I should shutdown all the servers for an update, or leave them to die out on their own if only a few ‘old’ servers are remaining. This could be suplmented with this: Allow us to phase out old servers by preventing new players from joining -
Time Played Until Liked/Favourite/Dislike
This would be really useful to see the average play time before a player is likely to favourite or like the game. It would also be useful for dislikes. For instance, if 80% of dislikes come after the first minute, then the introduction of the game needs to be improved. -
Number of Active VIP Servers
It would also be very nice to see how many VIP Servers are active, and how many subscriptions are running. Currently we can only see this if we go to Game > Configure > Access, which feels quite hidden. (Suggestion by @pauljkl)
These are a few things which I feel would improve and already great feature. Please feel free to comment and discuss!
