Thank You All for This Discussion—Now, What’s Next?
I really appreciate everyone coming together for this conversation. It's great to see how many of us genuinely want to improve the game, though it's also clear that some are just defending their stance without much logic.
When we talked about the player drop, some of us analyzed the charts correctly—considering the patch release date and comparing it to other games. Meanwhile, others dismissed it without looking at the full picture.
From this discussion, it’s clear that if GGG actually reads our comments and takes action, they could turn things around.
Some mentioned that fixing the game takes time—which I agree with. However, the biggest mistake in this patch was that they made too many drastic changes at once, creating issues they can't fix quickly. That’s why the player count dropped so sharply.
At this point, they have two options:
✅ Act fast and minimize their losses by addressing the major problems immediately.
✅ Accept the loss for now and focus on fixing things one by one instead of nerfing everything at once.
Going forward, they need to avoid this mistake—instead of making massive changes all at once, they should tweak one or two things, get feedback, fix issues properly, and then move on to the next adjustments.
💬 Despite the current frustration, I still believe in PoE2's potential. The developers have created something special, and with the right decisions, they can bring the game back to its former glory. We, as a community, are here because we care—our feedback is meant to help, not harm. If GGG listens and takes meaningful action, PoE2 can still become an incredible experience for all of us.
Let’s hope they take the steps needed to make this game what it was meant to be.

They can begin by listening to me.

1) Abandon this foolish vision at once.
2) 60% effort to endgame, 35% effort to performance, 5% effort to campaign. Stop making changes to act1-3. Leave it alone, it gets cleared one way or another, sooner or later. Tweak it later.
3) more emphasis on economy

just hire me to lead, you can be sure things will be better. i put my life and honor on the line.

Like I said, what you do with the data and/or how the "climate" looks like, is up to you.

Yeah, but people like you claim it's because of the 0.2.0 patch. Don't you?

Could be. The available information implies heavily that the decline seen in 0.2.0 happens because ppl don't like it for whatever reason, but making a truthful argument about it, when it's falsifiable, is nothing I can provide.

If it's about my opinion, yes, I think it's highly likely that the patch itself is the cause.
