PoE players number dropping like a brick on Steam
" Go look at the steam chart again...the one with the graph showing you the player counts, you'll see this thing called a pattern and you can match it to stuff that happens in the game. Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi

" I'm really surprised by that player retention, considering how shitty i think Harbinger league is. Seems like the majority is enjoying it a good deal. |

well harbinger league mechanics isn't everything it's also a mix of the "starting a league" thrill + the new meta.
Was it a good league? Imho no. IS PoE meta good? Imho it has been better. Will still come back for next one. Last edited by galuf on Sep 17, 2017, 12:35:52 PM

Game is toast. After 5 years of near constant play I have quit after blowing through 3.0 core just once. New league? Make me laugh. Once through was MORE than enough. TYVM. GGG has decided to keep their best gear and interesting content for their endgame. HUGE mistake. Make the best stuff in the core game not only available but NECCESARY. Too late now. Fanboys are the only hope for this game to continue. Don't see that as a possibility for long. Xbox certainly isn't going to do it.

" In an interview, Chris Wilson explained that a lot of new players quit the game after beating the normal difficulty. Considering GGG gets the most money from players AFTER they reach the endgame, making the journey there more interesting for new players = more money for GGG.

" I absolutely agree but going from kitava to T1-4 maps with zero difficulty and mob density is a joke. They also seem to not realize once you got people to end game maps, you need them to stay. What is the point of getting new players to end game if they get bored out of their mind grinding through t1-4 maps?

Wow, I don't know what GGG would do without all you keyboard analysts being here to help point out the folly of their ways! There is just no way possible with their access to complete and detailed statistical information that they would have been able to work out how the game was performing for players and where best to apply their efforts.
It's obviously been 4 years of half-arsed stumbling into success for which they really deserve no credit. I mean, it's so easy to create an ARPG from the ground up that all the cool kids are doing it today aren't they? Oh, you mean you haven't done that, run it as a successful business, continually expanded the organisation, hired additional staff, rolled it out globally and engaged with one of the larger technology companies in the world? Never mind, I'm sure you'll have that covered by the end of the week! Generally speaking, customer feedback is very important to assist in running your business. Don't ever take business advice from them though because they have insufficient information to make informed decisions and are often just downright ignorant. |

Well, my takeaway from this thread is that 鬼殺し now has 14 challenges complete and that he has enough support banners to make color coded selections and add to the attractiveness of his posts. Such things only enhance his deft word play.
