I LOL at people who say POE is dead
" DONT DO IT!!!!!!! You'll get cancer faster than sticking your balls in a microwave for 30 minutes... There is a fine line between Consideration and Hesitation.
The former is Wisdom, the latter is Fear. |

" Be careful, I used steamcharts to say exactly what your saying on reddit and got shit on. Not even a little bit, more like shit flinging monkey-ed. Anyway, the absolute number of players starting could be due to various reasons like time of year, its exam period and summer vacation. So there may just be less people available who have the time/will to play. What is more telling than the absolute numbers though, is the shape of the graph. For perandus the graph was pretty much convex, slowly curving downwards, whereas the prophecy graph is concave, indicating players are leaving faster than during perandus. I'm still playing because I've had a couple of unlucky rips, have low currency so still need to think about my build, so I'm not bored yet, but I'm not playing any of the prophecies. Friend list is pretty bleak too. Although I seem to have 1 friend who loves it (he's a wierdo though xD) |

Aren't you the D3 fanboy? You should stick to that persona, it was more entertaining

" Actually, Havoc and Etup quitting the league should be enough of a red flag by itself. Nevertheless, I don't think PoE is dying. It's simply a failed league - perhaps the most failed temp league ever. If GGG gets their shit together and fixes some of the fundamental problems with the next temp league, the game will be in a much better spot. They ignored player feedback and had the audacity to tell us we're a 'vocal minority', they didn't betatest anything and they rebalanced the xp penalty around just a few top players. Of course it backfired. Now that even most of those top few players have quit, let's hope GGG will pull their heads out of their asses and have a reality check. Speaking of which, it's quite ironic how Chris says shit about vocal minorities and then balances the XP penalty around 0,000001% of the player base because he doesn't like these 0,000001% hitting lvl 100 in one-two weeks. It's obvious GGG's decisions about game balance are inconsistent and they're just looking for justifications. You have to be realistic about these things.

" Me? I only ever played the D3 beta, so hardly fan boy. I didn't like it and I discovered PoE around the same time and have played PoE off and on since open beta. Last edited by thevdende#0414 on Jun 29, 2016, 5:30:53 AM

" Did you check WHAT she is doing at Blizzard? It stands right there, on her twitter account! Service technologies. That is not the main game development department, right? And what kind of lousy story is this? What does that have to prove? This was a bonus level. A funny gimmick, unlocked by following a certain pattern. Not original game content, totally optional and so on. Man, biased is defined by people like you, sorry. She does not love D3. She loves the part with the ponies. And that's cool. I am so fucking glad that you are (obviously) not connected with the game-developing world. To summarize that: Your critizism is based on an 8-year old loving ponies. A woman posting personal oppinions on twitter. Or am i wrong? The Sirus fight is a disgrace. Last edited by ghamadvar#7236 on Jun 29, 2016, 5:45:58 AM

" Hmm they didn't say "lol but thats only steam, not the stand alone players"? Like we're talking about absolute numbers... -.- The curve doesn't only give you info on steam players but info on overall retention of the playerbase. I am bored, most leagues I only make 1 char cba leveling another. I played a couple D3 seasons and created 3 chars there per season, gear them up, get to average level of grifting and quit within 1-2 weeks. POE with shit league mods lasts about 3-4 weeks for me per league. Didn't play last D3 season because they added nothing interesting to the game. Looks like this is going to be a bad POE league for me too, I feel like I'm already done with prophecy. |

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but activity on the forums has slowed to a trickle. For what it's worth, at least during Perandus there were a ton of people posting. The sheer lack of discussion happening around here speaks volumes.
And yeah, we know the Steam charts do not account for everyone. But first off, I'm willing to bet that it makes up the majority due to Steam being so ubiquitous. And secondly, it still represents a trend that can be easily extrapolated. In other words, if we did have data representing the entire population of PoE the curve would be pretty much the same. This is a buff™
