People who say this game is good.

All my friends with whom I played PoE1 for the last 10 leagues have all quit PoE2...Simply put they said they don't like it or the vision. They are all expecting LE more than updates to PoE2, or just linger in PoE1 to craft mirror tier gear.

I really don't care about your numbers, your opinions, or the shilling and kissing of GGG, hard core players with whom I enjoyed the leagues, left PoE2 after a weak of a new update, the game is turbo garbage in this state, and yet Jonathan doesn't see any problems, they will continue to improve the game for enjoyment but right now it has no problems :/.

Savior of The World with a highest poe 1 char level 94 TRADE SOFTCORE (LMAO) League.

Game's fine.

Thank you GGG for the amazing experience in PoE 2. Much love !

The game is far from being fine.

Yesterday I have completely reached apathy towards this game. It just demands mindless grind and rewards you with making you grind more for a chance to get nothing again. I disagree with the fundamental philosophy on which this game is built - low % gamba.

Are probably not even through campaign yet, or are just making new toons and replaying campaign over and over.

Yes because campaign is the ONLY thing that mattters for me in an ERPG. I give zero vale for the so called endgame. THere is no purpose on a recursive grind where the only purpose is to grind to get more gear to grind more and get more gear. It becoems a JOB.


Only Campaign matters for me. I play a handful of maps after campaign just to have afinal conclusion on my character... but I NEVER liked endgame on ANY ARPG.

I don't know I've been having fun and I've been getting currency too.. However first thing I did was getting IIR on every single piece of gear (Imo it sucks that you need a crap ton for the game to be playable, but hey just gotta do what you gotta do)

Here's my char this season.

Everyone making a lot of assumptions about other players motives for commenting on the forums.

The server numbers (on steam) are dropping by about 40k a week so about +-20%. This is the metric we know. You cannot really make any conclusion over such a small timeline. If 20% is a trend then by Friday this week we would be looking at 170k, Friday after 145k ish. Friday after, which is 28 days would be around 120k. This is 50% player falloff in one month.

If of course this is a trend, it may not be and we don't have the real numbers to confirm. Just look at the numbers this Friday, Peak today is already 170K so looking at 80k drop off in 10 days. Tell me how this looks? The numbers say the people leaving is accelerating not slowing down. Still too soon to say if this will continue. I always wait a month.

I don't know if this is good or bad but GGG seem pleased as to double down which says to me they know something we don't, don't care or expected this.

Don't forget a huge number of new players are from Asia and don't/not allowed to use steam afaik because of the government firewall. Too many unknowns for me personally to make any conclusions.

I don't like the "vision", I think it's myopic and assumes too much. But I also understand that you can't have power creep if you start off Conon the Barbarian from the get go. Instead you start off Conan the Librarian which is the other extreme. The game is all over the place.

The proof is in the player number falloff not the "total".

Endgame is definetly GARBO.

Boring, and this Xp loss, man. LOL

I'm here to painstakingly get through the shit campaign to get to end game. THE REAL part of the game. What actually keeps people coming back. Starting from 0 and ending at hero. Feeling invincible and slaying screens of monsters at the stroke of a key. Because thats what a REAL arpg is, 0 to hero.

Im supposed to be the savior of this world and yet I get constantly one shot, and im 68 and cant even find an upgrade(because nothing ever drops). What is this "vision"? If you wanted to make a dark souls mmorpg why didnt you just do that?

Some will disagree, but I think most would agree and the numbers show that. 500k+ peak in december and 250k peak now weeks after 0.2.0 deployed, and massively negtaive reviews. Hmmmm.... I wonder why?

This shits crazy, and boring. Speaking from 30+ years of gaming experience.

Why is it that everyone who's not finding the game fun becomes so emotional and then thinks somehow it's a conspiracy that anyone who likes the game is lying or somehow playing wrong or a GGG plant or whatever else? We get it, you don't enjoy the game, go play one you do. Or go outside or any other option for better use of your free time.

I've played ARPGs since Diablo 1 was new. I'm having fun in PoE2, just like I had fun in the first one, or I wouldn't be playing. I have 1 character, as I did in 0.1.0, I'm in maps, I'm not playing a meta build, and I'm in SSF league.

Oh, I also don't use the Steam client. So obviously the Steam numbers aren't the full story. I can't leave a positive Steam review either, because I don't use the client. But I would leave a positive review, not because it's a perfect game, it needs a tonne of work. Obviously, it's in early access. But I'm enjoying it, which is what a game is for.

yea...

all you said there... besides a SSf player in poe 2, you must hate your self alot...

Building a new character through the campaign is one of the highlights of the game that I most enjoy.
End game becomes a casino until bossing, which depending on your build can juts also be smashing one button.

Only thing is that loot is rough this league. I just hit maps and all the time leading up to it and now it takes approx several rares and two uniques for me to drop couple-three rares and exalts drop like 5 times less than in late 0.1. This is with 75 rarity which I didn't have in 0.1 until I hit like 89 lvl.

But someone said loot is bugged right now so I hope it will get a lot closer to how it was in 0.1. I think at some point loot was also rough in 0.1 and they fixed it then too.
