Numbers are absolutely plummeting

We are waiting for the next update brother.
We are doing stuff outside. |

" yes and that is EXACTLY the problem here if brand new mmo-lite couldnt even hold its playerbase attention for mere 2 months, how do you expect to have healthy player return with small content updates afterwards ... what they presented took SEVEN YEARS TO MAKE and you people are talking as if the next patch would bring just as much content for you to dive in ... when in reality it will be near miraculous if they manage to just bugfix the mess of a state the game is in and maybe implement one extra act of the campaign ... if you are lucky... One thing you dont understand is that a large portion of the players that "moved on" will NOT be coming back any time soon... the next "big patch" will bring concurrents back up to 250k-300k for about a week then drop down to current levels in week 2-3 then continue the bleed ... which is around the numbers a PoE1 league would bring ... and then it will be getting worse and worse |

Levelling another toon in this game is a fucking nightmare. Soooo boring and not fun. scale it down after the first full ascendancy imo

It's not bad really. I have 7 characters 85+ now with several 94+
Leveling items, ideal skills, tons of gold to shop npc etc. Still takes me 2 play sessions but I suppose I could get good and do it in one. |

Let me know when it reaches the disastrous numbers of poe1, then I'll start to say the game is dead.

well yeah. they didnt drop any juice. just fixes and then talks about a poe1 league.
ofc numbers plummet. thats what happens every league after less time than that, we dont even have a league, or a complete game. if they wanted the numbers to stay up, they needed to drop content on a steady cycle and talk about it. a good roadmap with specifics could help ppl retain some hype during lulls too. *then again it worked for bg3. a bad EA with only 1 act and no real juice dropped until release... they still exploded. i guess we'll see what happens.

" It did not took 7 years for GGG to develop PoE 2 ( the leak confirmed how low effort it was ) but at this slow rate they are working it will certainly take them 7 years to fix PoE 2 and fill it with enough content lmao ICE BELL RINGER ~ Endgame Farming ~ Pinnacle Eraser ~ Gamepad Gameplay ~ Low Budget ~ 0.1.1 Version

You PoE 1 only players need to make your mind up, talking about the numbers here yet banging on in other threads of how Pohx's private league got 20k players as its some example of PoE 1's Superiority.
I love PoE 1 and 2, PoE 1 is the better game right now, but after thousands of hours of PoE 1 Im looking forward to what PoE 2 will bring in the future, hopefully they go full vision and make two completely different games and we can enjoy both for different reasons in the future. Is the situation ideal right now?? Absolutely not, I would like better communication, more patching etc etc but treating each other and GGG the way this community is right now here, on reddit etc isnt going to achieve anything. So much Tribalism going on in all facets of life right now, its wild that a video game forum show cases that so blatantly. |

" thats purely GGGs fault ... there would be ZERO tribalism if they followed on theyr promise that PoE2 wont affect PoE1 ... but when they literally hard stopped any work on PoE1 what choice do we have but to start being tribalistic when not doing so means poE1 gets left to rot ... the backlash is the only reason we are getting at least the barebones minimum effort here ... |

" It’s not though. Because you’re not getting the minimum effort. Right now, today, 0.2.0 is not out yet and as such PoE 1 is receiving zero active development. Because they aren’t going to work on PoE 1 while PoE 2 is on fire (their words). So the more people bang the drums that PoE 2 is terrible, a disaster, on fire, the more likely it is they’ll not see it as being in a state where they can shift back to focusing on PoE 1. Logically the kind of constant unhinged “analysis” done by PoE 1 lifers acts against their own self interest because it increases the likelihood PoE 1 *doesn’t* get worked on. Since we know where their development efforts will go right now if they can’t focus on both, they’re showing us that clearly. But then again, that sort of analysis is likely entirely outside the capabilities of the people who say “this game with over 100k players is a total failure, GGG should put all their efforts into this game with less than 10k players instead” XD |
