if brand new mmo-lite couldnt even hold its playerbase attention for mere 2 months, how do you expect to have healthy player return with small content updates afterwards

its not a brand new released game, its an alpha test consisting of half the campaign and then mostly placeholder content from there until lvl100 thats probably a year away from being a finished game that is a brand new release. a game whos proven model for success is holding its player base for about a month every league.


they never promised poe2 development wouldnt effect poe1.

wrong on BOTH accounts

the EA would imply rapid changes and content additions while the players/testers are given leeway in changing theyr builds frequently to TEST THINGS ... instead we have no content added since the launch, all changes done being nerfs to only few select builds that mostly werent even the most broken ones and focus on "preserving the economy" and limiting access of players to any resources ... thats NOT how EA is supposed to be

when GGG treats the game as a release so will we ...


secondly they stated verbatum MULTIPLE TIMES that PoE1 and PoE2 will have separate dev teams and word for word : "the development of PoE2 will have no effect on PoE1" ... een in the latest "we sowy" video it was literally sayd that they PULLED the PoE1 team off of theyr work to make them work on PoE2 ... hellooo that means there WAS actual separate poE1 dev team ...

that was then hijacked by incompetent leadership of this awful lying garbage company to have them lose BOTH projects because few devs they scavenged from FUNCTIONAL one to try and FAIL to save the dumpsterfire of a failure that is PoE2 will bite them in the ass HARD later down the line ...

by the way current trend for 3 weeks in a row is 19-21% peak sunday concurrents lost each week

if this trend continues the peaks will drop below 100k at 23rd ...

they have +- a MONTH to release a major content patch before its too late AND i believe the population bleed is going to accelerate the longer it takes


THEN we will see how many people actually come BACK for 0.2 league - my guestimate is around 300k peak day one with drop to 150k within a week

Umm yeah, I'm playing less and less every day because there's literally NOTHING exciting to do whatsoever.

It feels as bad as D4 at this point.

If you look at Steam reviews they keep getting worse.

Now it's at Mostly Positive and the most recent reviews are mostly negative. So it might be in red within a month, we will see.

Personally I stopped playing POE2 due to myself and all my friends constantly crashing or freezing and to go play D4's new season we have every intention of returning to POE2 and to be quite honest we like POE2 more than POE1.
POE2 is actively working on the crashes and that speaks volumes to me and my friends as where other games devs are normally radio silence on such matters.
I love POE2 and I have confidence they will get everything sorted and make it even better. Anyway just wanted to let you know that your reasons are probably not the only ones.

"If you don't play a game 100% of the time, it is bad and le DOOMED!!"

Path of exile 1 players right now: 5,955

Wow I can sense the phrecia hype. Those ascendancies look spicy I can't wait to do all the same **** I've already done over and over but with a different color on my screen-explosion skill.

Everyone will be back at next patch release..relax.

Everyone I know including myself is taking a break until
Next patch

i'll be back when the devs rebalance the game more.

currently i m on a certain level of FOMO.

as a trumelee mace user, i find myself wondering why i need gimp myself choosing this skill/weapon when i could just use something else and blast everything.

I'm one of them. As a pure melee player, I can't even buy a decent endgame gear to be able to do t6 maps. Guess what, I can only 1 to 2 hours a day which gives me 5 to 15 ex only per day.

Should I then play a zoomer build first? Campaign is too tiring.
