You've had more than 2 hours of playtime. Refunding is not GGG job, but Steams. Complain to Steam if you want your refund. You could also have just waited for poe2 to be released and f2p, before investing money.



So now it is my fault GGG completely ruined the game on 0.2? you can tell that to the other 540k players also btw

Completely ruined for you. More than enough people still playing this game. Initial burst of player and dropoff afterwards is completely normal and no indication of success. It's EA. It will be f2p.

You're preaching to the choir here my brother.



LMAO bloomhead#3858 takes literally every good criticizing comment that is founded on good basic logic, even some comments that just want GGG to improve their developer count or provide more feedback, and just completely gives the opposite fangirl/whiteknight most AI comments possible.
"preaching to the choir"? lmao this isn't at all your choir, your choir is more like a botfarm with basic AI


I never heard that guy give one good argument other than antagonizing people and spamming the forum with OPINIONS ON OTHER PEOPLE'S COMMENTS. Never any comment about the actual post.

his account is 12 YO and he hasn't gotten any characters in PoE1. this is probably a dead/leftover account with some AI bot

You're not even playing poe2, since it's not shown on your profile.
For your information, that happens in all ARPGS. People come in and finish the game they set out to play in 2 or 3 weeks, if we're being generous. LE came out two or three weeks after Poe 2, and everyone was raving about the game. Its player retention was cataclysmic, and today, almost no one plays it. It's simple: you play, complete the content for that season, and move on to another game that provides fun. That's always happened and always will. Also, remember that this is an EA game and is paid. When the game is ready to be released, the real numbers will be seen. This is all just a process in which the game will continue to change until it's fully complete.

I invite you to follow the Poe numbers when they release 3.26, and you'll see the same thing: in 3 weeks, the vast majority of people will have left because they've already done and completed everything they had to do. It's always been that way.

This has nothing to do with LE or whiners or whatever. It has to do with what they (GGG) are doing and how it is not working.

If you like the game, great play it, over 80% of the player base did not or does not like the direction GGG is going with it and it shows by the retention of players.

If thats what GGG wants, then fine, continue on the direction they are going. I dont think Tencent will let them continue bleeding players and will eventually step in.



Yea that's not how logic, reason, or critical thinking works. You think everyone is playing every single game they enjoy at the same time? Because by your logic if you aren't playing a game right now that means you never enjoyed it, right? Yep, every time I load up Steam I launch 300 different games all at once.


hah never did i say you need to play the game every time you log in. Reading comprehension boss.

It's literally what you've said.

If people hate the game why do they come here and post? Is moving on to something else really that hard? ...


I stopped playing after about 3 weeks.

I went played LE for a while, D4 for a while TFD for a while...

So why am I here posting?

There is/was no POWER FANTASY in POE 2. The DEATH penalty made end game unplayable (depending on your class/build/skill/RNG).

NO loot drops, I'm looking for a journey. Both a story/game journey but also a LOOT UPGRADE journey.

I start with white items, move on to blue, move on to yellow, upgrade to better yellows and keep upgrading as I work up the map tiers.

Instead, it's all random crap that I can never use and there is NEVER enough both LOOT quantity and CURRENCY quantity to make me feel like I will RNG/CRAFT a good item any time now. It never happens; (for me) the game is pointless.

Then you add the fact that you can never craft better items to the death penalty, and it feels like the game is deliberately telling you to quit because there is no point in continuing, there is no upgrade path for you.

So the answer to your question of why people come here and post is that we come here to see if the issues that caused us to quit the game have improved.

To me... They HAVEN'T. There still isn't anywhere near enough loot and crafting currency to make me feel I will be able to craft anything useful.

So I still won't return but I will keep checking back with the forums and waiting for the day GGG wake up and remember what a POWER FANTASY game is.

Strange, more than enough people playing SSF and are far in the endgame.

Death penalty and crafting are completely seperate things and have nothing to do with each other. And since there are many people in the endgame, there obviously is an upgrade path.
The problem is that people are dissaponted of nerfing broken builds.

For example the combination of Herald skills was significaly important for fast clearing and also survibility.

Even though after nerfs the game is still unbalanced due to the 2,3 remaining broken builds that ruining partying game.

Lags, disconnect,server issues, new content and gambling wasn't a big deal for people.


Right now one thing can save the game. Either increasing defenses and make the count real or abolish xp loss for ever. I don't see any other serious reason for returns. And don't tell me new content becouse new content is actually a joke every time announcing.
