EdJames Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've never thrown a show under 80, my popularity has risen from 78 to 82 across the whole of America then suddenly in Week 4 of Feb *BANG* I've been dropped to cult and lost 20 points of popularity and importance across every region. What the hell?! I'd won every single national battle too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdJames Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 And now I have to play SIX MONTHS before I can rise again. Seriously, what the hell guys, how can that possibly happen?! Also noticed my last show randomly dropped to a 2.13 viewership when it was 7.12 the week before!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdJames Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 No, this happened before the patch was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomosensual Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 USPW dropped to cult in mine and by June I was beating SWF in national battles. It is very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Could be due to a change in regional importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 That looks like a National Battle defeat, which is really painful in older patches. The Tech Support forum has a latest patch where this has been changed, so this kind of thing won't happen as quickly any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdJames Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 I won the National Battle by more than 200 points, so definitely not that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdJames Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Is one of the moderators able to help me to move it to the tech section if that seems more appropriate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSelfDestruct Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 <p>Why is this in tech support? I've been playing for 4 months as tcw and have won the national battle every month. Uspw fell.</p><p> </p><p> Are you sill on pop network? Cuz you'll grow really slow on there. Are you getting just 80s or what? 82 is my lowest I've gotten and I don't think you grow in us without like 84+. I literally have grown to 80 pop in us in 4 months. Tcw I believe grows more based on ppvs what have those been rated?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Have you checked the News filter for stories involving you? A 20 point loss across an entire area that didn't affect anyone else sounds like a textbook case of the company being embroiled in a scandal of some sort. I don't think there are any other ways to drop that many points in a single day, especially not a uniform drop that just happens to be a nice round number like 20. The TV ratings drop doesn't sound like an issue - if you've suddenly dropped 20 points of overness then your ratings would plummet as you've suddenly lost a huge portion of your audience.
