Game updates are too slow compared than in past. In past we had new skills and uniques every week/2 weeks.

that they cant keep up with that pace should be very obvious. Adding more and more gems (with less and less significant differences as logical reason) would/will even more cause troubles with finding and keeping the balance.

Game will be dead when GGG want it to be dead.

Indeed. Or when they decide that it doesnt longer payoff for the server costs etc. I hope we have a very very long time until it may happen - but I also know that those 'rumours' of the unsatisfied will never stop all the way long.

If we look at the steam statistics, this game is trending downwards hard.

POE isn't dead in Garena, but it sure is dead across all other gateways.


I keep hearing about this "Garena" thing. What is it?

Its not just a client garnea is a completely separate realm. Items that exists there don't exists outside of that server and vise versa, it is its own economy, ect.

They have different things then the rest of us, bonus xp or mf weekends, pay to respec, lower amount of points needed for race rewards, ect.

Steam stats are actually stagnating, not trending downwards. Numbers are comparable to February 2014. So if PoE is dead now, it was dead in February 2014 too. But if it was dead back then, how are we having this conversation?



Yes but that's wrong. Right now we're seeing about a 6K peak with ~3.8k minimum per 24h cycle, feb 2014 had 9.8k peak. 1/3rd less players is not "stagnating"
This game is not dead, is hibernating for upcoming content.

It is an ex-hardcore-ARPG.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

No cut-throat league after YEARS of advertising it. (even so, last I read they were saying it would not even be HC)

No loot tension, just PERM LOOT everywhere because its so much easier. (no incentive to play anything else - EXACTLY LIKE WE said would happen if you force 'options' on us)

No incentive to even play in a party (unless you need help) except for special end-game map situations that hardly even exist for most HC players.

PVP is structured in a way that gives massive advantages to those with built up wealth in old leagues. (even the new league will be affected by cross-league trading, so its the same)

Challenges - that 'challenge' us to play softcore!

On us, by you, using a tool GGG gave you. Classic tyranny of the majority. Or democracy as usual. Whichever.

If it was sold that way, it would be one thing. But it was sold as an optional option you could optionally opt out of. Which is and always has been bullshit.

It seems far more than just loot tension had been decided by popularity contest, and not always for the better.
