Its amazing that so many players switched to last Epoch

Last epoch worst end game - POE2 end game way way better. Last epoch end game plain boring

I really don’t get you naysayers. First league comes out and you’re praising the difficulty saying don’t change a thing, and then when you get one shotted the games too hard and its time for a boycott. Can someone explain? I’m having a hell of a time in DOTH. Yea I’ve died a million times but you gotta just come back better.

Last Epoch is a game for 1-2 days, same as d4. Sure you can fuck around with a few builds that are piss easy to put together, but once the novelty wears off you begin to realize that you're farming to the smallest of gains in the history of arpgs.

Character power cannot be THAT frontloaded, this is basic game development. And they wonder why their numbers tank to non-existence after one week.

Tank to non-existence after 1 week? Funny because until now LE has way more players than PoE2 on steam.

Are you sure it's not PoE2 numbers instead?

True but each day since LE started the numbers are getting less and less - POE2 numbers are nearly level at LE numbers

Many PoE Deuce players may also be fans of Oblivion, which just released its remaster. =^[.]^=

I really try not to describe things as such because I feel like the term is overused and often petty, but I can't think of a better word than cringe to describe watching you guys celebrate and preen and gloat over facts you're literally just making up. You see -1 DAU for PoE2 and +1 for LE and tell yourself a story about a hypothetical individual who has completely quit playing PoE2 and switched to LE and will never return and that's all just fantasy. You can't reach those conclusions from that data.

Just as a very simple example of how completely you are misunderstanding and misinterpreting these numbers, you can think about the (probably not insignificant) portion of the daily active user counts for both of these titles are the same people. So much of your little storytime revolves around the notion that everyone is choosing one or the other of these titles and that's just flatly absurd.

I am one of the players who quit D4. After the expansion and the bugged Spirit Born class, I never played again. Update 0.1 made me happy by allowing me to create builds and see them working, but 0.2 only capped all builds, nerfed mechanics like Resonating Shield—which now stuns the player—and made all current builds rely on bugs or unbalanced classes like Deadeye and Amazon. Some weapons, like spears and bows with Frenzy + Barrel, are also bugged. Amazon can generate infinite poison, while Pathfinder feels useless.
Why can one class use thorns, bleed, poison, elemental damage, while others seem completely neglected? If I don't want to play with this overpowered class, I feel like I have no chance to have fun. After realizing this, I started researching whether I could still refund the game, just like I did with D4, because the developers don’t know how to balance the game or make all classes enjoyable.

I started playing with Tactician and using crossbows, but I don't see any build really working with this combination. Crossbows are extremely weak, and although Tactician has a great concept, its execution in terms of game design is poor. It seems like GGG didn't put enough effort into creating this Ascendancy.

After switching to Thorns Titan and respeccing into Warbringer Thorns, I realized these builds simply don’t work because Resonating Shield has been crippled by the new self-stun mechanic.

I’ve posted some solutions for these classes in the feedback forum—not crazy ideas, but real game design solutions.

Why not make Ballistae function like a warrior totem, allowing them to equip skills? This would create new combos and improve crossbows. If Ballistae became a tool for multiple builds, players wouldn’t lose anything by not equipping an off-hand weapon like Last Flame, since the class itself would have tools to enhance damage.

Additionally, why is the Barbs skill used in nearly all Amazon mechanics, yet for Warriors, it’s only applied to Break armour? That’s a ridiculous design choice. Think about Spike is literally a Thorns , GGG how do you not see the obvious?

Conclusion: an unbalanced class leads to unfair comparisons and frustrates many players

Darth stopped playing after 3 days and went back to POE2. Definitely a strong sign for LE.

darth is also running a one button crossbow build. its amazing to watch true skill.....

not....

who cares what darth is playing. all that matters is what the individual person wants to play, and for alot of people its not this in its current state.

pohx is playing too. like the guy don't care what he is playing.

both of these streamers have play what you want attitudes i dont get why people think that what they are playing is the end all #1 way to spend your own time.

Now ggg will actually have to listen to players feedback and make the game much much better or it will simply die. My prediction about fastest plummet of numbers has become correct. We are down to 100k peak players on steam in just 2 weeks.

Well, this aged like milk didn't it?
