The game is so dead that even General Chat is dead

I'm pretty sure it's not dead yet

it's more like you about to die bleeding really badly and then the doctor said i have no time for this I'm very busy to prepare the new body for you but in this meantime please enjoy your suffering because i don't give a shit

and the doctor is the one who stabs you and makes you bleeding in the first place.

but yeah it's not dead yet that why you feel pain.

In 2 months they'll release multiplayer which I'll probably play as well.

Pretty sure no one gave a 2 month time line.

Might be wrong then. I've just seen that being stated multiple times in global chat.

"Dead game" is quite a broad term when it comes to that topic but for me it seems underpopulated enough in the areas which I care about to label it so.

There is nothing here worth reading and making a thread here results in some ass trying to make it about whatever their current whine crusade is. More fun to just play the game.

I don't know, I stopped posting because:

1. Started playing Last Epoch, which is a good game!
2. Nothing changes anyways
3. The white knights responses are too predictable already
4. Nothing interesting happens, nobody does anything interesting

uh-huh... my ears are still ringing from how they shouted that poe on xbox won't impact the pc version negatively. at least now we know from chris himself that the console versions, among other things, stretched their resources thin (and they are an even more buggy and unstable mess).

only like 10 days for the new league announcement. they better fix lots of instance crashes and remove some spaghetti from their code until 3.7. and i heard brazil and singapore servers need new hamsters.

I've not even logged for the flashback, which to me at least speaks volumes. Also looking at the steam charts for PoE, I'm not alone in this.

Wouldn't call the game dead but its definitely not growing.

Personally I thought to skip the flashback in order to be motivated enough for the next league, but by the looks of it I'll be mostly skipping that one as well. I was on board while the league cycle was good league - bad league - good league - bad league. But bad - good - bad - bad - bad somehow killed the magic for me.

If you looked at steams numbers you would know this is false. December/January had the biggest PoE numbers yet. The game is far from dead.

Basing the life of a game, on the activity of general chat, OMEGALUL. Who the hell even talks in general? I have every chat disabled but whispers, like 99.9% of the time.

That's nice my dear.

I am curious tho, no offense intended - how or why do you sell maps for 1C in the forum? Why don't you buy a stash tab? Or don't you see that the time which you spend on listing the item, you could be earning 3x that while actively playing?

Short lived spikes on overhyped / hamsterwheel content release are not impressive to me; the core players are still at 10k. If the game gets to core 15k, 20k and so on, I would agree on this. Before that, no.

No. If you compare the average number of players on a year-to-year basis, you will find that the league March-April-May 2018 had an average number of players 73578, while the league March-April-May 2019 currently has 71013 players, but this number will drop significantly, because the current numbers are saved by the weekend spike associated with the start of the flashback event.

At the same time, it should be noted that several extensions have been released in the meantime, as well as the massive departure of players from Diablo 3, as a result of a nightmare message from ActiBlizz about a game for mobile phones.

I do not know how it looks financially, but if the profits from the console market do not offset investments dedicated to this platform, GGCent may lose money in the near future instead of earning it. What threatens the inevitable audit of a Chinese parent company.

I wonder what "manifesto" will be issued then :P
