Early Access Discussion - GGG loss 49% of player based - Forum

I like XP on death. It makes leveling mean something higher on.	Posted by RandomPerson#6572 on Mar 2, 2025, 2:53:30 PM Quote this Post
How on earth can the seasonal aspect of a game be considered a downgrade? Most games these days use this model, and it works perfectly fine. Other games, like PoE1, lose half of their players after a week, whereas PoE2 has very, very good player retention, especially considering the small amount of content currently available in early access.

I am not sure you can consider from 578,000 players at release or peak, down to 69,000 very very good player retention within the first 2 months. They are bleeding players fairly fast. Granted, newly released games do lose around 50 percent after a month, but thats a fairly large loss that they had.r The thing is, they made tons of money for tencent within that time frame. Are they ok loosing that number of players? Not sure, only time will tell.	Posted by Bobothewizard#8756 on Mar 2, 2025, 4:21:21 PM Quote this Post

Invest in trading and maybe get better gear, sockets and jewels...? Pinnacle bosses doesn't care about your gear, you still get one shot if you failed to avoid their attacks.

You are completely wrong for expecting the game to be the way you want it to bo. The point is in overcoming the challenges that are put in fromt of you. Not for developers to remove all of them so you can feel like you won. Your don't have a gamer mindset go do something else. Wstch tikotok there are mo challenges there.

Don't implement POE 1 mechanics to POE 2, and majority of POE 2 players are newcomers. If they don't like your game it will spread out to the entire community like a wildfire that your game is bad. 1. remove xp penalty at end game and trials, that makes you go rage and quit. 2. NO respect for player time 3. Loot debuff on death 4. Remove Honour, at Trials will fail if honour went down to zero, and xp penalty imposed. 5. Boss can one shot you 6. Armor, and resistances are broken in this game 7. Can't pickup drop items, unless you kill all mobs in the area. and a bunch more you need to fix, I hope you got the messages. Don't make excuses that this is just an early access game, we need the fix now. 49 ? more like 85-90% 59,380 players right now 69,400 24-hour peak 578,569 all-time peak	Posted by stormyknight#7628 on Mar 3, 2025, 1:00:13 AM Quote this Post
For the players like me who did not purchase the EA on Steam, we don't show up in those Steam numbers. I am whiling to bet there are far more people who purchased EA from GGG's site than you think.	Posted by Konflict#2601 on Mar 3, 2025, 3:55:19 AM Quote this Post

I've just found out that all the grinding I've been doing for my character is for nothing. when the league starts you lose everything and have to start over that's like a major FU from the devs. And It's incrediblely difficult to upgrade your character's gear when rng is so piss poor. I thought this was a game not a trading sim.	Posted by TarTearer#7535 on Mar 3, 2025, 11:41:18 AM Quote this Post
