General Discussion - Could POE have already peaked? - Forum

We've had: aoe nerf, density nerf, xp nerf, nerf to map rolls (nerf to packsize, nerf to quant), map drop nerf = zero fun. Mapping is dogshit right now. And when the game is not fun, people don't play.

The only game I've ever played where this actually worked well was LOTRO, and that's because you could earn points for micro-transactions to buy content by just playing. Granted, paying for it in LOTRO was faster. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▒▒▒▒░░░░░ cipher_nemo ░░░░░▒▒▒▒ │ Waggro Level: ♠○○○○ │ 1244 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀	Posted by cipher_nemo on Apr 23, 2018, 4:05:05 PM Quote this Post

Kinda strange all those players stuck around for standard when they usually just leave but I guess it's possible (it's not) http://steamcharts.com/app/238960 (and I in no way mean bestiary was actually good)	Posted by Imaginaerum on Apr 23, 2018, 4:17:03 PM Quote this Post

Its nowhere near dead and will probably keep eeking along for decades. I do feel theres many lost opportunity's at the moment, xbox poe is only 70% there and no sings of much improvement. Also the changes to map and item drops will affect a large portion of the player base who arent doing elder shenanigans.	Posted by Fhark on Apr 23, 2018, 4:26:34 PM Quote this Post
These kinds of opinion posts are just that, entirely subjective. I'm still very much in love with poe as are many others. Some aren't, and that's fine too.	Posted by devilmz on Apr 23, 2018, 4:43:53 PM Quote this Post

" IMSilver wrote: I'm getting an ominous feeling about the game... like last year was awesome for POE... this year it seems to be on a downward trend. I'm just worried that 2017 was GGG's golden year and the best times are behind us. Like a whale that's aged goodly but inevitably it grows large and old and dies and rots on the ocean floor into make nutrients for bottom feeders. I just have a strange feeling that POE might be a similar whale about to wash up onto shore before its time was up... what about you guys? This game only had a short life-span to begin with. I really really hope GGG unloads it to an American-based publisher/dev team that can devote the resources this game needs. No sliders on a graphically intensive game in 2018, like for reals? This should be priority number one, but isn't even on the to-do list. Honestly. This game was super fun, but now it's an MTX showcase paired with some dude who codes in a menagerie.
