So, now that Lost Ark is being perceived as the long-awaited "PoE killer," will those who have been heralding it as such finally be decamping to that game's forum? =9[.]9=

Forum cryharding is for life, not just for Christmas.

Aside from limited time, what stops anyone from playing all 3?

Never understood this fixture on one game only. Playing multiple games and alternating them keeps you from getting burned out and also keeps things interesting.

I usually play the first 2 weeks of the POE leagues almost exclusively, and then I alternate with other games.

Modern gaming requires "dedication". You can technically play as many games as you wish. But you won't get to the "top level" or "1%". And there are always people who want to be at the top of their game.

If you play only 2 weeks of PoE casually, I suppose at best you can kill all bosses and 24 challenges etc. You can't get those mirror tier items or 38 challenges that the sweaty tryhards have.

I play games as a hobby, with only one goal in mind: to have fun.

I guess my fun differs from others'.

The biggest takeaway here for me is how many streamers, that usually play poe, are now playing lost ark. Many of those who watch these streamers will (even if they dont recognize it) feel a pressure to actually play it too.

The current poe expansion is fantastic, but it appears that social pressure is stronger than any quality. I am curious to see how it will even out in the long run. I think poe leagues will become more and more shortlived.

Lost Ark is a joke. It looks flashy and enemies do nothing.

Elden Ring does not have enough content and its "hard" combat is nothing compared to Soul Calibur games for example.

If modern game looks too good and it is going to be boring waste of time at the end.

My support is with PoE2, more 6 linked items and more than 1 button gameplay, when its finished.

World has almost 8 billion people. PoE will be fine. And its getting better every 3 months since its release.
