Everything.

And in PoE you need 90% of your passive points spent in health nodes to stay alive, well I suppose people dont mind that because its free.

I guess, I prefer to look at my HP as a boolean, alive or dead. I don't have hp nodes and i'm at 54 merciless act1.

90%. Really you need a whole 90% of all of your nodes into life to be viable? Are you sure about this or just trying to appear dramatic....

He's mentioning it in 90% (lel) of his posts, whether it fits the topic or not...

Am I the only one noticing that PoE lost a lot of its playerbase already? I hope I'm wrong, but the forums seem dead, the party numbers ingame aren't as many as it used to be a few days/weeks ago.

Some known streamers quit, some well known players quit. Even Kripp's latest videos didnt have as many viewers as the previous ones. A lot of my ingame friends didn't show up for at least a week.

Is my impression wrong?

This isn't a subscription game. People have other things to do too.

Now that, kids, is what we call off-topic with no merit.

Don't.

WE GET IT!

Stop bringing it up in every thread.

It's dying because most people are leaving because it is LAGGY.

Australian's only have singaporean servers.

Which mean we have high latency and can only play 2 builds: freezing pulse or summoner.

I tried every other build / melee / bow and it does NOT work.

Crap servers = ppl leave.

Torchlight 2 is way up on its original playerbase and is totally thriving.

Torchlight 2 sold over a million copies.
It has a daily peak of 4-5k concurrent players.

Wouldn't really describe that as thriving.

I'm in Aus, lvl70 2H marauder playing on america's and it works well enough for me. Not saying it works so well that I can play HC, but u know, w/e. When I get the spikes (press F1 to see) I just tp to base, play kenken on my phone, check how steady the link is, go back to playing.

Also, and I can't point this out enough, who exactly says the game is dying? The OP who can't figure out ppl rather play the game than troll the forums, then claims the game is dead b/c no ones on the forums? The ppl who cry about their builds not working, or that they can't insta-faceroll the game?

Beta testing isn't only for testing content for GGG, they also use it for # of servers+synch testing and shit, don't fall in line with the pandering idiots mate, plz. You can give up, but I can safely say you won't see another game this well made for years
