Harvest has the highest 1 week player dropout rate in poe history

" One: This is a false narrative saying "well could you do better?" is a terrible argument, I'm not trying, you don't need to do better to criticize bad products. I could do better in general by recognizing that the three month cycle doesn't work. Two: They were doing better on a four month cycle. In fact they're still on a four month cycle because every league comes with major patches after inevitably everything they envisioned doesn't work without an extra month of testing. |

Just face it defensors of ol' mighty tggg.
Quality dropped it's not fresh news.. they are adding bots to the online peak numbers every single league launch to inflate numbers? but why? "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words. poe0.2/10. Nuff said. |

" man how do you guys come up with this stuff lol |

" "do you guys"? Huh? who's this "you guys"? bex legit counted bots as players in the past, please.. don't make yourself a fool the data is there. "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."

I dropped out as well.
Still follow social media on Harvest. When you look at all those Additional Curse + Flat Crit + Explosion chests, your heart bleeds. This once again will change the powercreep. Metamorph brought the new Chest Metas, Delirium brought Cluster Jewels. When every build now relies on Cluster Jewels and insane Chests the will probably have to keep pushing the conquerors route, just making content harder, boosting bosses hp etc. I was actually tempted last night because I read this post by MbXtreme "Aaand the next 6x T1 with 100% perfect Rolls Item is done. This Leauge... idk... What am I going to do once everything is perfect O_o working on RL?" I mean when you look at the market, you just need 30-40 ex for a dream chest and insane weapons. So I logged in, found I was still lacking damage and missing the currency for immediate improvements. If there were any way to swap the craft options for reasonable currency. In Delirium you could just sell Simulacrums and were good. But it doesn't seem worth it and so crafting might have gotten easyer but it still feels like this league leaves out so many players. Wouldn't even matter all that much, if it was just a good opportunitiy to skip a league and enjoy the summer. But I just don't see how the game can come back from where that -15 Mana Cost + Flat Crit Chest that cost me 10-15 Ex last league now looks like a major piece of garbage.

" the only way for me to enjoy the summer or other season is to sit in my house with all windows closed with no sunlight and to play Path of Exile. unfortunently, 3xG wasnt able to provide any meaningful arpg expirience for me in this garbage harvest league, and that definitely will have an impact on my support. i dont want to craft, to build, to gather and to plant seeds, i want to do mapping with tons of league-related mobs. im ok with additional crafting options, but t3xg should provide additional options for players that like more "active" playstyle. but for those players the legue doesnt any differ from standard. i would even say more: if tencent ggg will decide to keep the GARDEN in the game, i will be hugely dissappointed and their incompetence will be evident. keep the crafting options, but not that shit. dead game bring back 3.13 Last edited by Tainted_Fate#2799 on Jul 14, 2020, 3:36:47 AM

" I know this is really late but I just found this thread and I felt the need to reply to these kinds of comments. I don't need to be a five star chef to know if I've been served raw chicken or rancid eggs. That's a pretty extreme example but the point is, when people are saying that there is a problem with a game, they don't need to be a program dev or in the game industry to have a valid opinion. They don't need to apply to work and fix in the game if they just want to voice their criticisms. That's why these forum threads exist, so that they can be heard. People can love this game and still see flaws in it that they would personally want to see changed. Doesn't mean that it ever will change, but maybe if enough people echo it, then who knows maybe it can. Just like how some people can be too critical or this game, some people are just so blindly in love with this game that they will never see anything worth talking about unless it's more praise. I remember the guy originally posting a statistic about player drop off earlier in the thread and some guy just exploded on him when all he did was post a fact with no underlying agression. I love this game and hated this league. If I wanted to say why I hated this league then he forum should be a good place to say it without getting those silly "well if you hate it don't play it" or "send your resume and fix it yourself" or "make your own game then" replies which just serve to antagonize as opposed to having a debate and discussion with other players. |

to be fair i think some of this has to do with the fact that everyone was quarantined, so we were all able to play PoE ALOT more. And burn out on delerium.
So when a new league comes and the new mechanic is very meh, i can see the drop off. Name Combiner Create unique names with https://www.mygirlynames.com/combine-names]Name Combiner tool.

If you look at the big picture and history of every league:
https://steamcharts.com/app/238960#All There is always nearly a 50% drop off in players by the first month in. GGG is great at hype and trying new things that get people to come back each time and say "hrmm let's see what this mechanic does"... Retention is not their strong point though, the carrot/stick of Challenges is too RNG and geared towards only 1% of the population. The power creep, as mentioned previously, is getting more and more out of hand each league. Obviously by all the little icons under my name that I've supported the game since launch - but even have had little to no desire to play for the past few leagues. I'm sure PoE2 will revitalize the game a bit with a breath of fresh air. However, ignoring fundamental flaws within the design system, messed up challenge/reward systems and not paying attention to the community.. is what killed other very popular ARPGs who thought that everything was just fine.
