General Discussion - Wolcen overtook POE as the new number 1 arpg game on Steam (127k concurrent players at the moment) - Forum

They deserve the success. https://twitter.com/SteamDB/status/1229133844101652481 POE's all time best was 123K sometime back in 2018 but never managed those player numbers again. Do u guys think this will trigger GGG into fixing POE for a change and releasing a good quality league with finished development of it for a change, or are they going to continue ignoring how half complete the game is to just double down on POE2 development? I dont use STEAM (for poe), did you count me in also? Only time i use steam is when i play Destiny 2 or ESO How many players like me out there, playing POE without steam integration?

i swear to god I'm not a white knight, but if you gonna say something like this game lose that game win you better learn ARPG is a marathon, not a sprint.	Posted by Ozxell#4971 on Feb 16, 2020, 9:09:33 PM Quote this Post
Wolcen hasn't got me. It's playable, but I don't really see the point of it yet. Maybe later. Playing up one of each class and they don't really play all that differently.	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Feb 16, 2020, 9:12:15 PM Quote this Post

I mean, we have the numbers. Back when PoE set its record high on Steam, it had 188,970 players, and 123,565 were on Steam. This means only 35% of the players used the non-Steam client. PoE's highest concurrency ever was 225,000 btw, but this included consoles. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

We should revisit this in the middle of March for a real comparison. Thanks for all the fish!	Posted by Nubatron#4333 on Feb 16, 2020, 10:27:42 PM Quote this Post

about time.. grats on wolcen team. maybe TGGG dev's will start thinking twice on several things.. "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure." Poe 0.2/10 Returning to poe in 3.27: ATROCIOUS game performance, 5/10 league and I apprently missed the loot back in the last league. The more things change the more they stay the same..
