PoE 2 has lost over 80% of its players in 3 months.

How is it possible this thread is still front paging? lol
You can’t blame a studio ‘juggling’ the happiness of 2 games players for being slow, it’s plain naive.
And it’s a beta (like it or not EA and beta are synonyms, and if you have to Google any of my reply you shouldn’t quote me at all ;) ), it takes time even when it’s a public beta to make changes in a (compiled 48GB, which is before compiling is at a minimum triple that) ‘book’ of ‘text’ that the devs work with to make us happier.
Complaining will 100% not make it happen faster, why not play another game or watch tv until you get what you want whatever it is, I know I am (catching up on missed tv and playing the PoE1 Phrecia event which will run till April btw).

How are people taking this bait from an account that looks like it has never even logged into POE? LOL

This is the EA FEEDBACK Forum. Users are providing their feedback. You both are bumping the thread.

You are correct I did in effect bump the thread, but it didn’t need me to do that if you read it it’s had 26 pages in 2 weeks and would have been bumped without me.
In fact it was the fact that it was still front page that made me see it and make the post you only partially quoted after seeing that days additions to it ;)

While people debate on lost numbers, Grinding Gear literally gave the player a finger by doubling x 100 times down on map. And a "smarter than you" decision with the design concepts behind the latest two uniques.

Kept quiet for so long but did no change to the defense system.

Cutting your nose to spite the face. Truly. This game is lost until some drastic change internally within Grinding Gear.

Hope you and your buddies have enough lunch money to foot GGG bills then:) Studying boss pattern in elden ring is not the same as suddenly ripping to completely random poorly telegraphed hazards and same looking mobs changing their damage by a margin every map. Gameplay remains dead straightforward, hold your 1 button (2 with new dodge roll), and hope your RNG defense holds. Not everyone considers this "difficulty".

What’s your point? They should not play it and should play another game because this isn’t for them.
I tried Avowed, because it’s free to me on Xbox, because the internet told me it was good and I loved the Pillars of Eternity games. I hated it but didn’t jump on the forums for Avowed to say why and how they should fix it for me, didn’t even make a forum account.
There is an infamous historical saying (It’s so old that USA President Lincoln is claimed to have (he didn’t) paraphrased it replacing please with fool, but it’s origin is about 100-150 years earlier and was said in French by Jacques Abbadie) that says…
You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.
Change the word people to players and you get the point ;)

I am not President Lincoln, but daresay you can definitely please more people with the single videogame by adding customizable difficulty levels, and not enforcing harsh death penalties because player loses a coin flip, or because game is still in rough shape with bugs.

If GGG did that from the start, there wouldn't have been such drastic CCU drops, which is this thread title. Building a game with ultra-heavy RNG influence is fine by itself, but then it will never be a "soulslike" game, and won't support soulslike penalties. People will vote with their legs (and wallets) away from it.
