POE2 is dying

I am very happy that Last Epoch is doing well. There was a big gap between POE and LE and LE has closed a huge chunk of that gap with this season. I am happy coz i hope it prompt GGG to make improvements as well.

The quality of life and innovation LE is showing is unmatched. GGG sadly isn't doing anything new and they will have to at some point part with their philosophy that every single thing in the game should be a grind. Most of their systems ancillary to core game are archaic almost like it belongs in a government department somewhere.

Don't get me wrong I love POE and I respect GGG a lot. Their philosophy has always been joy through pain and sacrifice which is fine as far as game-play is concerned. But if every mechanic in the game is like that then its boring and chore some. I am one of those player who wants a very hard game, despite that i am loving LE ( it is as easy as it gets) coz of the everything in that game feels fresh and the QoL feels amazing.

So I hope competition pushes them to be more innovative and be better at least in areas like QoL, visual clarity and being lag free. A POE 2 where difficulty is organic, visuals are not so taxing and there is amazing QoL will be a dream come true.

Glad some of you found your niche elsewhere. Games doesn't have to please everyone.

See ya'll in a week (probably less tbh) when the forced hype dies.

I'm playing nothing right now, and haven't been since 4/11 when I decided I couldn't keep dealing with the unrewarding slog that is poe2 0.2.0

So, see you next patch... or maybe not

PoE 1 died for the VISION so we can all play Last Epoch now...

With Last Epoch out, many players have switched. We are losing like 10k players a day.

Last Epoch also losing 10k per day. Since day 1.

Let alone that in POE 2 it has like 70k more players lol

the game is not going to die my god...

They will release a new patch with new content and if they learn something about this... will be tested first and people will be happy playing

3 new acts and endgame must be tested well before 1.0 release, that will be a REAL inflexion point for the future of the game.

Untill then, we trust on GGG
