i think your numbers are in NZD whereas info i found was in "converted" to USD

both mean basically the same thing



Ah apologies, that would make sense.
PoE2 is a great tutorial for PoE1.
It is in the top 10 on steam charts, if you're not having fun go outside instead of bitching and not offering a single solution or idea
Considering the game is less than 50% complete I wouldn't start swinging the 8=======D aka D4 is betterer because me mum said so arguments just yet.

Personally I am not that bothered as the current state attracted half a million players. The reason POE 2 dropped many players isn't because it sucks, it doesn't. POE 2 is better than D4 NOW imagine what it is going to look like after 1.0?

IN DEVELOPMENT!!!!
You need to understand the "vision". They gave POE1 a quick boost, and keep trying to improve POE2.

There will be two games, and players will decide which they will play.

I don't think either will be abandoned...they both make Tencent tons of $$$ and is top shelf to anything Blizz "trys" to put out.
-Time to be funny. The world needs funny right now! Warning: "Might" get you muted.

25 Exalts...oh God my stupidity stuck! Now onto 25 Divines...

except one thing, it doesnt need to "beat" the D4 as that is nonexistant challenge ... it needs to do better than PoE1 ... which it doesnt

and theyr solution to that "problem" was to KILL THE POE1 ...

doesnt work that way ... they ALREADY killed off the PoE1 by breaking the leagues cycle ...

yes it was making them a BANK every quarter year ... and they just threw it into a garbage to push out an ALPHA for a game that will have only fraction of the originals STABLE playerbase ... the PoE1 was GROWING before they killed it while PoE2 "teaser" they released attracted a lot of "one and done" tourists its still yet to be seen how many players will it be able to bring back for seasonal content

meanwhile the year long break in the poE1 league cycle means even after they release the next one a large part of its previous playerbase wont come back - some will, some wont

nothing lasts forever.

everything finds its balance.

anything can be replaced.
Nulled.

They didn't kill of anything. The moment a new league comes out every one will be back playing it. Let's be honest here.


This ^^^. POE 1 hasn't changed it is still a great game however going on the forums with the average argument of "Whaaah" isn't going to make GGG produce more leagues in POE, in fact in will have the opposite effect.

POE is getting left in preparation of a game which will be clearly better in so many ways. Not enough content in POE 2 right? Because it is still in development, how is this so hard to understand? All moaning about POE 1 with "I will never play this game again" will make GGG say "oh well we will put all resources into POE 2".

Two lessons in life, everything ends and change is inevitable.

some might come back ... but how many WONT ...

the success of PoE1 was based on regularity and predictability of its leagues ...

forget about the next PoE1 league hitting above 300k as it would have if it came on time before holidays ... forget about 200k ... the best i can see the 3.26 bringing back after all the delays and outright lies is maybe 130k-ish ... meaning HALF or less revenue and return of playerbase to numbers 3+ years back ...

and that is if they are LUCKY i still think thats way too optimistic of a prediction on my part
