^In contrast to Lost Ark's 69% positive rating on Steam, PoE is at 90%. Just fyi

Its like that because the EU Region is Fckd atm. EU is their majority player base and due to poor planning etc it has been a shit show, not just with early access but continuously after when the flood gates were opened to F2P. Yeh some people are realising a Korean F2P P2W MMO just isn't for them and others who can handle it etc but there is a legit cluster fck going on atm over there.

The Director said he wanted to hit 200k, with early access seeing 500k. Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt being blindsided by early access, this was not enough for them to realise the situation before F2P came along.

EU Central server starts to have a queue at around 7-8am. This queue will last for the whole day on most servers there up till around 10pm ish when dying down. During this time match making in game for EU is broken as its all tied to overpopulation and is luck of the draw if you can use it to complete dungeons, raids etc.

People are queuing up before and during work just to be able to maybe get in on return. This adds to the queue and locks out people whom are actually able to play at that time. So you have a mix of afk players auto running in place, bots and people at work etc making a bad situation worse.

A new EU WEST region has been added but it is badly incentivised atm. People loose not only their current progress but also things they paid for. They are basically being told you can move but if you do you take the hit for our mistakes. I expect them to up the incentives but who knows.

So yes, those LA steam reviews are from majority legit players/consumers who have/are being burned atm. I hope it gets better for them.

Have fun having your Wallet molested and raped just to progress your builds and characters in the endgame... Ill stick to no P2W bullshit.

To be 100% fair and honest I was super hyped and really looking forward to Lost Ark for many years now but, to see it come loaded with P2W shit and the ability to just buy your way into power I have to take a hard pass on that one. Pity because the game does look incredibly good and fun too.. But, games like that were you can just throw your wallet at the game and progress ALWAYS turn around make it almost forced to do so outside of no lifeing the game and even then you still can never compete with wales who have the ability to toss thousands of dollars at the game regardless of how much time you invest.

Eventually just like in all games of that caliber you wont even be able to group with people unless you toss a certain amount of money at the game to progress your characters to a certain threshold just to be able to pull your weight.

I don't mind games where you can pay for power... no skin off my back. It's games that force you to pay to progress that don't even get my attention.

It's not P2W though because you can just log in and do tedious dailies every day for a couple of years to get to the same place.

1% game balance is make this game dying so fast now, Path of streamers.

It's not even the same genre, plus end game is P2W. It's derivative Korean crap.

Same here but some of those games you actually have to play to know the true experience and see where your tolerance lvls stand. P2W has a negative connotation here so people blur the lines of P2W definition which has evolved with consumers individual tolerance lvls. Its coping, instead of simply accepting what it is or is not.

Its funny to see LA hype generated through various avenues. Twich in particular added considerable hype to the launch, streamers praised for their contributions there but criticised here when similar approaches taken.

I watched a very popular MMORPG streamer play LA (unpaid/non-sponsored) who seemed to be having a great time but when a few people in his chat criticised his play he got angered and admitted he only plays for content and does not enjoy a lot of features typical to Korean P2W MMOs and LA. His words not mine. He also done a reaction stream to someone complaining about WOW and agreed, all the while LA has the same problems or worse.

Interesting. Pls elaborate. There are many bosses in POE, to which are you referring? Are you mistaking what the gameplay as a whole has become as the game catered more towards zoom zoom for bad boss mechanics or talking about a few in particular?
