Player feedback of POE2 suggests GGG isn't the master of liveservice that Jonathan thinks
|
Just reflecting on a funny comment Jonathan made during the early access announcement stream that even made their kiwi mascot ZiggyD chuckle out loud.
Jonathan said: "We like to think we do liveservice better than any company out there." Newsflash: You don't. And in order to achieve that, you'll certainly need to put out more than 1 micro patch per month (with almost no community interaction otherwise). Even big projects fail, and with how you guys have treated PoE1 in the last year or so, I sure hope you treat PoE2 better in the year to come. Last bumped on Jan 9, 2025, 3:43:20 PM

Yep +1000
Releasing this game just before holidays then going silent for 2 full weeks and now doing a week of only bugfixes is simply bad planning. This EA should have been delayed to january. But hey it sold over 1 million copies. That's about the only good thing that came out of this whole release. |

" They actually do. Tbh, POE isn't even hard, and for me, it's the only ARPG that is complex enough to have a good time. Just because some people are having a hard time and being vocal about it does not mean "in general". I'll just take your post as an implication that "player feedback" you mentioned means "majority". Where is your data? |

" In the meantime, I'm happily playing Nikke, from the same developer that developed Stellar Blade. A gacha where we have updates EVERY, ABSOLUTELY EVERY WEEK. We have new content every week, and lots of new content every month. Now that's a "live service game", not this crap that GGG is making. |

Does not have constant updates? From the time POE 2 launch to the time they went on vacation, how many patched did they deploy? If your opinion is "they are worse than Blizzard" and if you really meant that, then our standards on what makes a company good is so far apart.

" "New character" is not new content or "new costume" is not new content. I think I can see now why you are complaining about POE. If POE 2 has auto grind currency and auto battle pinnacle bosses, I think you'd enjoy POE 2 so much more but it isn't sadly =(. Last edited by iMirageX#4580 on Jan 8, 2025, 8:00:47 PM

" Events with new story, and new chapters of the main story. (Including voice acting of all lines, and even animated cutscenes). New characters. Solo Raid, Coop Raid, Union Raid. Other mini events. This is considered new content and a legitimate update. But you can stay as long as you want in copium, saying that it is not. Your standard is extremely low. |

" This is all trolling right? It has to be. This can't be serious. |

" well ggg wants us to go from a update every 3-4 months aka a league to a 6 month x2 times a year and be happy. less is more nowadays |

Early Access to me, is an indicator that the game isn't yet in the cycle of pumping out "live service" content.
They are busy building the game right now and that's fine. It's precisely what we all signed up for, you not understanding that is a you problem. |
