if you think that he is a tool or a douchbag or that he has a bad attitude then he is doing a good job, because the point of the "athene" character is to troll.

aside from that. even if it was some other streamer that was realy bad ppl seeing a desync like that. PoE may have lost alot of players with that.


Lol how old are you? You watch people play video games?


22 atm, ive been watching him sense WoW tbc. and even then i had no idea how ppl get mad at him. i just laugh at the trolling he does in games and ppl get offended for some reason.

It was a jab at your implication that the previous posters were "immature" because of their "hateful" responses to the streamer's situation.

While you may have interpreted (or decided to believe) that most people are "offended"/"jealous" whatever, honestly I find most people to be apathetic, and rightly so since you know, my gaming experience has nothing to do with his.

Regardless, again to reiterate, I don't mind streamers, they take money from gullible people, who should always lose money. What I do mind is trying to suggest that GGG should do something about this guy because he is "special". He is a player like the rest of us.

Popular streamers can be special. Source: special thanks to Kripparrian from GGG in PoE's ending credits.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
Donate for the kids.
You would be blind to consider this to be a "good thing"
I don't like Kripparian, and I don't like Athene, or most streamers really... however I respect what they do for these types of games. Bad publicity is bad publicity, and this was -really- bad.
A scion may be born of the rich, and as such hold more opportunity...
but a scion will never be able to appreciate the finer beauty of those less fortunate.

I actually didn't make it that far in the credits if it really does give a shout out to him.

However, a shout out is one thing, chasing around a streamer is another. Suggesting GGG needs this streamer in order to thrive is along the lines of "the game needs this fix or it will die ultimatum".

I am pretty sure word of mouth will eventually do wonders for this game. Combine that with the steam release and I am fairly sure GGG will have a healthy enough population for profits.

While I cannot speak for GGG and I do not pretend to, if GGG simply want to expand it's customers it would change the dynamics in the game. GGG has said previously it is targeting a specific audience (my god I say this phrase a lot).

So again, I doubt GGG needs to go spamming emails and running to (X) streamer to make sure he advertises for them.

This was an interesting bug, he seemed to be stucked. Thx athene, always providing entertainment.
Why you should try Harcore http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/209310/page/1
What a great way to advertise the game.

Athene is a dick, people hate him, none of that matters.
What matters is that he is popular, and he accidentally came across the biggest desync hardcore death ever while many people, who probably don't know about this game, were watching. Now they probably have the worst impression of this game ever.

You haven't done a single thing for this game or community. I haven't either. However that 1 video did a lot of damage.

You can play it up like an internet tough guy "so what - who cares - if he quits just over 1 death he wasn't worth it..." - ETC - yeah, you bad ass you... but the fact remains: a LOT of people just watched that and will now never play this game ever.


+1

we all know desync (ven these that claim that it doesnt exist and we should play on toasters) and we are used to it because poe has (had?..) a draw stronger than desync

but new players or players on the fence just saw something WORST poe has to offer.

if someone had shown me GTA V desyncing like that - yep.. it DOES matter and while Athene this Athene that he IS popular and that stream surely did a lot of damage

Anyone saying Athene is a douche-bag or dick or whatever... that's neat! You obviously can't distinguish from "real life" vs "acting" and you certainly shouldn't visit boogie's channel then.

"The best X in the world" is an act. It's for jokes. It's funny as hell. However that's not really Athene. He's acting as a jester for laughs. He doesn't actually think he's that good. He does/says things to draw attention to himself just like the funny kid in the class.

When all is said and done though... watching that desync death and now seeing that he's not going to livestream POE = REALLY BAD for POE.

Your implication that poe needs this streamers makes me sad
What can never be lent or earned?
Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything:
A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones.
Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings.
