A 10 year old game that barely beats a week old game's player record is not reassuring at all.

are you trolling right?

a 10 years old game that can beat a new release game is a huge deal, you do know that, right?

I only play Wolcen offline and it works relatively ok-ish. Why would I play one-and-done type of ARPG online is beyond me.

It is very clear Wolcen was pushed out early. Just by looking at 3 acts, you can clearly see how the game gradually descends into mediocrity--Act 1 is great and the boss was amazing, you slowly start to realize Act 2 is pretty much Act 1 just with different skins and its boss was fine but nothing amazing or new compared to previous act, Act 3 is where it absolutely hits you that the game is now just set of corridors, looking all the same just in different colours, monsters are just repeat of what we saw earlier and last boss is a total joke.

The engame is also just more corridors running and kill a boss or few elite monsters around a map. I like the concept of building town but it is very simplistic and it is one-and-done.

I still like Wolcen for what it is, a cheap distraction until new PoE challenge league. There are some interesting ideas built into it but as a whole it has no chance to challenge PoE position or even stir GGG into some more creativity.

His statement is bullshit, because it implies that Wolcen will raise its record for sure. I highly doubt that the playerbase of Wolcen will receive such numbers ever again.

Also I love how wolcen just copy paste all kinds of shyt....

Act 2 end boss....is piety of poe basicly, even do that beam circling....

Then become malachai going into a ground thing....and then evolves into belial from act 3.....:D

This is funny because literally the opposite is actually true.

127k entities connected with the steam engine when starting the game client.

It does not actually tell if they are stuck in the main menu or play the still unstable/volatile online or the slightly less broken offline mode.

Steam numbers now slightly back to 100k.

I really hope they can release the first bigger hotfix later this week (WolcenStudio: we can only release one patch per week), so people can start doing full reviews instead of "i no connect, refund".

This will truly showcase all current (ver 1.0) flaws and that connection issues alone are not the real problem here.

But that the game is simply one year away from being released and you are basically purchasing 40$ to play an alpha version.

Having played to mid act 2 this is the feeling i'm getting, tbh I don't know when I purchased grim dawn in context to its release cycle but it was leaps and bounds better in quality terms.

I'm playing co-op with a friend and our damage values are so far apart i wouldn't even qualify as a minion lmao I just walk around rounding mobs up. Kinda depressing tbh

Poe became a shittfest long time ago, years ago.
All they have been puting out is controlled garbage in order to sell mtx, its been kept in that state for the same reason. to sell garbage mtx.
And the so called poe 2.0 is a mobile garbage wich will be put on console and pc aswel, nothing more.
Poe has been strugling to keep its player base for years now, despite the lies "this league we did gr8" .....etc.
Poe started becoming shit a couple of years after release and now after they sold it its only shitting out unfinished untested garbage in order to sell mtx to the whales

dude? seriously?

1.yes they release a lot of MTX but to call them garbage is far from the truth.
2.POE2 is not a mobile game.
3."Poe has been strugling to keep its player base for years now" LOL. NO. link.
4.untested league has nothing to do with MTX.

I'm not a white knight but if you gonna talk shit like this at least have some logic.
