I just wanted to say that I am having zero fun playing this game.

You really expected the number to be close to the original release? Seems you never checked how paid games player cycles work (remember this is a paid game as of now). 34% retention in 4 months is something not so many games manage to get.
Yet my point is.. clearly POE2 is MORE popular than POE 1. SO people LIKE this direction more than POE 1 direction

maybe because people that liked are busy in the 230K bunch that are playing. That said... I never saw any league that was not a pure buff to everythign be well received by this community.. for me that is a problem in the community

Release day in december.

Yeah, I can't understand how they are ended like this. Very good start, some nice ideas. And now, zero fun.

+1 literally dogsh1t patch...Just quit and going to play something else...Feels bad that I paid nvidia gfn for 6 month's to play poe2 in this conditions.

I agree its just not fun. I would have been ok with more challenge, lots of nerfs on OP builds, removing grim feast, starting over, etc, etc. But this? It is like dark souls but instead of 1v1 its 1v5. I understand its EA but I am already burned out on day 2. I don't feel like I am getting stronger, quite the opposite, the fights are taking much longer as I level.

I am trying to say this as respectfully as I can because I have enjoyed my time in POE 1 and POE 2 up until this point but this patch feels unprofessional. I will just say this: Step out of your box, read the room, and make changes so we can enjoy your game without making it a full-time job.

The number of players laying and having fun NOW... is 200K.. so almost PEAK all time (steam) record for POE1. So It seems most of the people that disagree and thing the game is fun are busy playing

Couple of billions of people are currently at work... so PEAK all time record for Earth, especialy on Saturday. So most of people who disagree (with work not being fun) are busy working and thus by your "logic" having fun.

people are PAID to work.. so your statement makes absolutely ZERO sense.

And you pay to have fun so a game should not feel like work but here we are.

And since it flew over your head: Just because people are doing something it does not mean they are having fun. So no, my response makes perfect sense.

no your argument makes no sense. Anyone that does not liekPOE2 can stop playing with no side effect. People cannot simply stop working. Your statement makes as much sense as 2+2=3.

Back onto the topic... if it feels like work go do soemthing else. I felt POE1 to be like lobotomy.. so I stopped playing long ago. I LOVE that this game demands me to use my brain a tiny bit at least.. so I will continue to play it.
