It really is only a matter of time for everyone to figure out there arn't alot of builds to do in poe.
So all you really end up having is playing the economy, and plowing maps. And if you want to get anywhere on your character, you are better off mowing monsters down like weeds and just collecting pennies of the ground as fast as possible than any meaningful item hunting.

Poe is better than its ever been and poe2 is going to blow up the up more than anything thats happen with poe before.
Realistically the revenue stream is important and while there is a correlation with steam numbers, there are other factors involved. GGG is not stupid, theyve had years to learn from games like d2,d3 and the likes.

There actually is a ton but the game play "styles" is only a few. For the most part you just pick colors of sprites your char will use.

The game itself has kind or ran its course... more so, every league brings its own cumbersome stacks of ever new skills, useless uniques and adding to an already pretty complex game (working tooltips anyone?).
But this game came from a very good place... and quickly loses its way. The Harvest league, meant to be an experiment on crafting could not have been a worse choice from GGG. Keep in mind most are quarantining with lots of time... and people left the game in a hasty way... myself included.
But forging ahead with POE 2... which every flop leagues incoming dwindles the hype I have for it... and the fact that Diablo 2 resurrected might actually pop up at about the exact same time... and you have lost your base altogether...
Some will remain, the sponsored streamers... but the exodus will be huge. Most older players will go back to simplicity and nostalgia. (frankly that's what brought us to this game in the beginning... and eerie familiar feel with a twist). And the hype will move on...
What appears right is that Chris Wilson thought he had found the never ending manufactured recipe for an ever playabe game... And doing so, every iteration seems more like a repackaging of the previous with more useless skills that end up revamped and highlighted in a future repetitive iteration.
Too much of a good thing does become a bad thing. for casual players (i.e. not 24/7) the amount of time and needed outsider resources required to learn the game is way too time consuming vs. the actual fun factor.
As well, the SSF choice revealed an unwillingness to make this game coop. If the lag and screen overwhelming graphics are not enough of a deterrent.
Basically, I do not see this going uphill from here. And POE 2 may well falter due to a D2 remaster... Talk about your inspiration coming back to bite you.
I really enjoyed this game, it was pretty well thought and amazing until they started litterally dumping more and more purposeless stuff that needed fixing a month through a 3 months league.
Too bad.
I too like making up nonsense and pretending I'm profound.

I mean only a dozen different builds are meta, but if you can't think for yourself then that does get limiting quickly.

New league, new posts about the downfall of POE. Not a big fan of Harvest, but these posts have been the same pretty much ever league since the beginning. One day it will be true and it may well trend down before POE 2 comes out, but that is pretty much with any game. Been playing this game for 8 years. If it dies tomorrow, it has already had a good run.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. Last edited by DS_Deadman#3546 on Jul 18, 2020, 7:05:31 PM

When your inspiration is farmville. Yeah, thats downward indeed. Game is bloated shite.
Nothing new. Run the acts run the maps. No drops for your kills try to craft something OMG111111 bring the garbage to the dump and hope some cool craft spawns from the refuse pile omg yes this is sooofunzorrrss.....

When delirium went core they raised the bar to complete all content to an unprecedented level. But in order to successfully complete that level of content you essentially have to be able to trivialize everything else. Balancing for one discounts the other.
Yep, totally over league play.

Have to disagree the golden age of poe was there between 3.4 and 3.9 (not you synthesis)

Man, I want to believe, but I'm hoping for some serious competition in the genre also.
