Our Reasoning Behind the 3.13 Launch Delay

All kinds of positives to take away. Now I can play Cyberpunk and not miss league launch, and you get extra time to develop without having to deal as much with burnout or Christmas leave loss.

And possibly another event? I'm okay with this. Thanks for being blunt about your decision. I think it's wise

Endless Delve is awesome idea! cross my fingers

Damn, you do really care only about streamers that are probably like 5% or less of the playerbase. Make me wonder if you give streamers some advantage in the drop rate of good items to them too.

If it wasn't for those steamers a good percentage of the other 95% of the playerbase wouldn't even be playing Path of Exile.

Please, stop licking streamer's butts.

No, it's not thanks to streamers that 95% of the playerbase actually plays the game, in fact, most of the players that comes thanks to streamers are probably the ones that will quit in the very first few weeks, when they realise that PoE isn't as easy as they thought.

Also, there are quite a few streamers that actually mostly plays PoE, and those streamers are not responsible for bringing NEW player base, they mostly just draw attention to the players that are already into the game, seeking builds/advice/wasting time.

For one, I don't even watch any steamers for PoE as watching streams for Path of Exile to me is boring, I rather just play it.
For two, a lot of people never heard of PoE until coming across the streams as the marketing is not very good (at least not anymore or for a long while) so when it comes to PoE finding the streams is the easiest way to find the game and you can deny that if you'd like but it's the truth.

When it comes to new expansions everyone watches streams to see what the new upcoming expansions are all about. Despite me not watching PoE streams for anything other then that I cant deny that streamers/content creators play a big part in PoE's playerbase. Reviews from content creators can be found all over youtube among other sources of social media, they play a big part in advertising for Path of Exile and not everyone that watches those reviews are from Twitch but simply searching for top games, top aRPG's etc etc and coming across those content creators. Again deny that if you like but it's the truth.

I also never said that 95% of the player base is thanks to streamers, I said a good percentage of that 95%. Please learn to read before commenting.

However from all your recent forum posts you're like King of negativity so I guess I don't expect much from you, nor your responses so will likely just ignore you from now on.

PoE has really been on a downward spiral the last few years.


Edit:

Action RPGs are all about finding items, levelling up characters and accomplishing difficult challenges, all while comparing your progress to your friends and feeling that you found better stuff earlier than they did.

I just wanted to say that reading this disgusted me.

Gaming isnt about flexing on your friends its about enjoying your time with them. What the $%@# is wrong with you? This game has one of the most deplorably toxic community states in online gaming especially considering ARPG games were never meant to be competitions. There's a reason I quit DotA after 10 years of playing competitively and its embarrassing that this mentality has crept into RPG fans who, by their very nature, never wanted to compete with anyone in the first place before their value became based on likes and views and external validation rather than their own personal success and achievements in game.

This made me regret every badge or whatever you call them that I have under my icon.

Just going to say this, since we have a delay we better not get 3.13 Beta on release.

There is only one thing that makes me stop playing PoE and that's GGG's inability to release finished content instead of a beta every 3 months.

Do it correct for once, please.

I think every sane person understands what is at stake :)

I'm not going to play cyberpunk but I really don't care that much, polish the next league guys, and bless you !

Hey salty players that need to get a clue because they are only thinking short term and have zero data to back up their salty whining.

Why don't you show numbers and provide data on why you are so salty?

What's that? You cant? you don't have the metric software or the business sense to even put such data together you say? Thought so.

Get a clue. GGG (Just like the majority of larger popular companies) is a company that more than likely has a full suite of software dedicated to analytics and metric gathering to back up their thoughts on how they should operate.

Damn sweaty whiners.

ggg take more time to prepare new league and hire more ppl to ban bots pls

Im sure you are right with this decision, its gonna be all over the place because people like hype. And Cyberpunk is just hype at this point, we dont know nothing about this game just bla bla bla, 2-3 video and words. But the November 23 Shadowlands the real deal here, its 3 million+ copy on the first week does not matter its good or bad that's fact.

was the f-bomb profanity necessary in an offical post, though?

all in all this whole fiasco stinks of chris not having trust or confidence in this game... you just keep advertising cyberfunk as if you want poe players to go play that game instead

You clearly didnt read his Chris's post.
You should be ashamed.
