No player retention

Hi I have played the game when released until now and I must say yes it's lots of problems with the game.for one balance is crazy trash mobs do more damage then the boss. Second they nerf everything in the game that makes it fun crazy. Third there is 0 player retention and nothing to help new player and all they care about us the endgame whales and to me they can do much more they need to stop trying to be poe1 and be something different.Like open world zones battle pass for the zone and kings March with the ships and farms it will open new doors.But don't think the game will survive 2026 with bo7 gta6 and more they must realize they up against big games and it's time to change.

poe2 is the only good game in the genre atm

they're not competing with anyone lol

I think it's the first time I see someone unironically asking for a battle pass

lol

I dont think they'll have any "player retention" problem.
Come back in 0.4 start and it'll be massive again.
Season is just already over and only no lifer like me and others stay.
It's normal.

Not sure why you compare this game to gta6 or bo7 lol
Doubt we share the same playerbase.

Players fizzle out at the tail end of the league, this is nothing new. Also if you want battle passes, I hear Diablo 4 has plenty.

as an endgame whale, I agree with most of what you said.

Issue however is not their focus. Issue is their capacity. They need more devs and dedicated teams for both games.

They were holding 40k steam almost 2 months in, it's not bad.
It's still early access with an end game patch next league, and still have yet to sort out how to make people create alts since 70% of the player base don't want to run campaign over again.

If I'm not mistaken, POE2 is in EA mode, so I don't understand why it keeps saying that the season(league) is over.
GGG should be more interested in POE 2 right now (he should listen to the gaming community what needs to be fixed, changed, etc.).
Update 0.3.1 is very bad, technically the condition is catastrophic on all platforms, if they want to release POE 2 in the final version, they still have a lot to fix.
When the final version 1.0 is released, then I can write that the season(league) is over.
With this style of how the GGG team is leading, POE2 is unfortunately a big flop.

Because that's how arpg player play. The end game isnt very long to beat, they beated it and moved on to something else. It will always be like that even after full release i think.

I believe PoE2 is a massive success seing the numbers of players on 0.3 release. I do not understand what make you think it's a big flop.

Last patch is surely controversial. I know there are a lot of bug to be fixed.
They will fix them.

Coming from that to the conclusion that the game is dying and will never make it is a huge step that i think isnt reflecting reality.
