To the guy 'sounding the alarm' that only 400k people are playing poe2 on steam on a friday afternoon work/school day. POE 1 only has 10k people playing on steam.

Let's not make the game like poe1. We might only have 10k people playing.

Yes because using the numbers of a nearly six month old league is totally accurate thing to compare to a one week only game in which most player's haven't made it out of the campaign.

QUICK SOUND TEH ALARM. ONLY 10K PEOPLE PLAYING ON POE1

We need to completely change the game so people stay on longer. poe1 is going to be a failure unless they change the core concept of the game to be like poe2

Aahahahaha…..funny but also true.

Not fighting anyone.

I'm asking for arguments.

You have none, other than "I'd like to know private information on players engaging on the forums, with no reason other than to satiate your curiosity".
Fine. Good for you.

I can't see how that's relevant to my post at all.

I don't need to argue, you asked why, I told you "for context". Your inability to understand is not my problem :D

It's not for curiosity, but for understanding where ppl are coming from. You should try it. You know, reflecting... Their profile could show me something that I didn't experience myself, that I could have overlooked, making their point even more valid when I would have dismissed it in the first place.

Also, it doesn't have to be relevant to "YOU" specifically. I didn't want YOUR profile, or I would just have asked.

Edit : btw, "private information" dude, we're talking about character list on a game forum. I'm not asking for your bank details, keep it real :)

In a way you, are.
Are you even aware that you can hide how many supporter packs and contributions you've made? That specifically says something about a person economy.

....and to be blunt, any information you have an option checking a box as "private" is by definition -private, isn't it.
If you think privacy stops at your bank account, you are quite naive. Online footprint is a real thing. I get you do not take that very seriously, but some people do. Respect that.

If someone tells you that they got food poisoning from the local restaurant, do you believe that, or do you demand to go home to their place to check their medicine cabinet and fridge?
Maybe you just had pizza there too and didn't get sick -what normal people do then is ASK. "Hey, maybe it wasn't the pizza, did you check other foods you ate that day".

Everyone that has a private setting or privacy filter doesn't necessarily have something to hide. They usually just enjoy their privacy.

It's four days until Christmas, and this is the last weekend before the holiday. That would probably account for 100k players shy on Steam right now, just saying. Even GGG 'left the game' to take a break, it's just what people do.

100k left after 2weeks ?

Usually 80% of people already left after a league start, having more currently is insane, someone doesn't know how games population works ^^"

I agree with everything that is said here.


GGG ... come on.. get your S*** together man

Such a cool story but has nothing to do with what you asked me and the answer I gave you. I take seriously what has to be taken as such. Your character list is not :)
Your packs don't tell shit about your economy. As far as I'm concerned, you could buy a 500$ pack from being billionnaire or 550$ net worth, it would look the same. Irrelevant, I have no way to know, nor am I interested about your life.

Anyway, as you talk about online footprint, let me show you a little trick, which will at the same time explain why context matters to me :

You put your profile as private, but I can still check your trade offers on the trade site. Your last listings have been up for 1-2 days. Highest item level is 55.

That's not 100% certain, but it appears so :
- You haven't played again since 1 or 2 days (matching original post date)
- You didn't play past campaign, probably didn't even finish it (last campaign zones are 60)

It brings me a lot more context to your original post, beacause it appears that you didn't try to keep going without the ascendency. So it means that the ascendency thing is such, that it actually pushes ppl out of the game. Which is bad.
Your post doesn't appear to be a venting thing before going back to the game, or a kid complaining every time something goes wrong. It adds weight to it, at least in my view.

Hope it makes more sense to you now :)

What should be more alarming is Diablo 4 gained 195k avg live player count in the last 30 days.

If you can't steal Diablo 4 players you've got problems.

If that can save them 10% of the players that quits, it's actually huge numbers, for an easy fix.

Baseless assumption. Maybe it would lose them 10% more players because the PoE 2 audience would hate casualizing the game. I'm not talking about the vocal group here trying to change the game to something it's not, but the people actually playing and enjoying the game. I have over 100 hours in so far and I like the Sekhema and Ultimatum trials. Sure they are not perfect, but a good foundation nonetheless.

Over 130k at this point

23% of the playerbase
