Was this league a success?

Mixed for me. I am enjoying my werewolf druid more than any other character I have played so that is a win.

The Temple was a complete bust for me. Poorly implemented, unexplained and unfixable if you made a mistake. I found it completely unrewarding and don't engage with it at all now. I never got it built and I'm not sure if I even got an exalted orb from all my runs. And the economy was blown up.

Apart from that, all problems still exist, clarity, map layout, movement etc.
Performance is reliably bad with no indication that it has even been acknowledged so I don't think they have made much progress at all.

I'm enjoying it I guess but only because of the werewolf.

you dont seem to get it. people only came back because they cant play in regular league. economy is so badly ruined. this is the worst league to date as far as balancing goes. they cant balance the game at all. the multiple patches they did just made things worse. you are just rewarding their incompetence by calling it successful but whatever

50k people coming back to restart the same over the top mechanic with a worse off overall economy.

Any league that can bring back 50k people to a private league to restart in poe2 is just


Objectively successful.

It IS a success for me as SSF. Most fun I've had in the game even though I still think a lot needs fixing.

47k on steam after 1month, I think that's a record low for retention for any poe league. Let's be honest it peaked low, retained low, I dint see this as a 4 month possible league, I think time just told.

When it comes to loot drops from maps and no more stupid fog from delirium mechanics, so I can say there is an improvement.

The temple is buggy and not ready for the league drop so basically they drop it and make us test it since this is an early access . Im fair with that. This is not a finished game.


When it come to character and build balance the game still fails.
When it come to party gameplay the game is worse than any other online game.

So I think the league was fun to some point.


Does 4 months time period will work? I don't see it working last league and not even this league. They need to rethink their strategy here.

Druid was almost a win. They did not test it at all. Getting stuck non stop after leaping. The class is super busted. Temple is hot garbage. Dev's take way to long to respond and or fix anything.

Poe2 was a massive hype game. It crashed so hard I honestly thought the dev team would take a step back and look at what went wrong. Instead they just keep pushing on. Numbers don't lie we are a month out and they had a free weekend and the holidays. The numbers are horrible. For the game of 2025 and onward those numbers are really really bad. We have no endgame. The acts are 10x to long the maps are 10x to big. Are we playing a game or slow walking and exploring the massive boring maps?

druid is very good.
temple is trash.

47k on steam after 1month

73k minimum so far. Actually it does better than 0.3.0 as that one started with higher number but had number after a month + couple of days.

It's EA so there's no success or failure imo. There's just testing. Lots of it. People still act like this is full release.

1 div in poe 1 in 3 hours, 50 divs in one hour in poe 2. They are trying to silently kill poe 1 (the better game).

It's not just early access, it's PAYED early access. I wonder what will be the next excuse once the game is released... Because it's free to play?

This league was major failure starting on deployment. Having to sponsor a private league for player retention says it all.
