The last POE league was released five months ago (Settlers started on July 26th), with a possible new league maybe up to two months from now if POE 2 development doesn't take priority and delays it even more.

A good portion of POE players don't go back to a league once they're done with it, nor do they play standard. They do however, play a lot when a new league with new content comes out.

We didn't get a new POE league because of POE 2, yet players who might prefer POE over POE 2 constantly get told to go back to POE 1. Sure, had there been a recent league release, that might be a reasonable suggestion, but as things stand at the moment, it's almost like adding insult to injury.

Some players who prefer POE 1 over POE 2 are only playing the latter because there hasn't been any new POE 1 content for five months now. Some of these players are obviously going to complain about what they don't enjoy in POE 2.

Having had a new POE league ready for release for late November or early December would have gone a long way in ensuring that a larger percentage of the overall POE player-base would be having fun right now, while also maintaining continued goodwill.

I understand there are logistical difficulties in developing two games simultaneously and unexpected problems and issues will arise, but from a purely financial perspective, wouldn't more happy players possibly mean more supporter pack sales? I'm guessing it was a calculated risk they were willing to take, but risking possibly alienating a portion of the player-base (that made the second game possible) seems a bit baffling to me.

same. level 91 and bored AF. Thinking about quitting game until they stop nerfing all my fun builds that took me a month to complete.

D3 campaign blows away poe2.

D3 story was ....not for me. But the gameplay was fun for a run-through. It just lacked replayability.

Agreed on your assertion though. In POE2 I just kept pushing because of the brand with the thought that it would eventually become fun only to realize the game's highpoint was in Act 1. It was all downhill from there.

I remember POE1 when I first joined over a decade ago and it had something special through the first three acts. I didn't even mind the Normal/Cruel/Merciless cycling. Even the early version of mapping was fun for me.

I could get past campaign sucking. But what POE2 did to end game is not great. If this thing kills POE1 so it can live, well that will be an absolute tragedy.

its the opposite, campaign is great - end game is bland and boring for the time being.

Games incredibly fun, maybe it's time to quit and dust off some books or something.

Yep soon as they drop 3.26 even if it is complete turd of a league a good share of what is left of PoE2 EA clingers is going to empty out like someone pulled a giant plug.

Same, unless im doing crazy OP broken build game is very bad and boring to me, im just not a fan of these dark souls 1 shot bosses, one shot boss stuff was very rare in poe1, not to mention travel time in maps is crazy slow, just give us back our movement abilities

Heres a concept - integrate self imposed difficulty levels - so you - the player - have the option to set the difficulty higher - the reward being better drops - better rewards for higher difficulties - Now introduce a pvp area - where you can use this higher gear to best others for notoriety, etc. Plus introduce the in game auction house which will create another element of fun with bidding wars for good stuff.......
