Rofl.

This is the most copium take of takes I have ever seen.

Nobody plays standard, and nobody who does play standard repetitively spends money on MTX.

Wow, this post has a lot going on!

1) Do you know what your buzzword even means? What am I even coping about??? That doesn't make any sense.

2) And now you're shaming me for supporting the company, just because I'm a Standard player???

This is so telling. This is why nobody likes PoE or its players. You all see yourselves as the good guys, playing the world's best game ever made, but if you ever dared to leave your precious little echo chamber you've built here, you would be absolutely blinded by the sunlight.

no one is shaming you about being standard player you just for some reason think GGG should focus around standard the mode that less than 1000 people play at any given time games like this are built around league systems where they release content every 3-4 months and people come back to play it for a month or 2 then go play something else PoE isnt dying it had the highest concurent players in settlers league but you for some reason dont understand this and just are being clueless about the topic

Just imagine if PoE2 were a big graphical update for PoE1 adding another campaign in parallel to the original, keeping all the legacy skills/items and adding stuff on top of it. One can imagine ;)

And what i see - Poe1 is dead, Poe2 is dead too.
What happened to GGG, all people left?

Latest statement from Jonathan iirc indicated they are missing lead devs that have experience making PoE 1 good. Also one league per year since most ressources on Poe 2 now for at least one more year.

Go figure if that's dead or alive. Guess if new players it does not matter but if returning you better served playing other games till new updates come.

The fact that standard is popular or even relevant compared to leagues. The fact that leagues are for "casual" players :D :D

Im not shaming you for buying stuff, I'm saying that people who play standard are typically people who are NOT buying stuff, because they don't have the 3 month reinvigoration that league players do.

You mean YOU don't. God forbid, us PoE players are so worried about your opinion.

Tomorrow we find out if PoE 2 is alive or dead. If they add FOMO MTX rewards via challenges to bring people back and the game is still bad I might have to give up on PoE 2 for good. Hope we see some great changes.

Less than 150k players will be playing poe2 when they reset it. they will lose 80% of the new players who tried the game.

Why does POE1 need a "big graphical update"? The game already has horrible performance and zero visual clarity. What is all the poor performance for? A monster can be right beside you about to give you a dirt nap and it won't be obvious.

The current state of POE1 has absurd hardware requirements for no reason, even in an idle no-combat situation.

Did they reset it?

To be fair they did the right thing and DIDN'T add FOMO MTX challenge rewards and they DID explicitly state that they expected low numbers for this "league", with higher numbers expected in each incremental league from this point on.

250k Steam max was about what I expected but with doom and gloom the numbers will fall fast. If I'm GGG I use this league to make constant sweeping changes across the board until the game improves. No need to worry about offending people by killing builds. Just make the game fun, even if you accidentally make it less fun for a while.
