HALF of playerbase has quit in 1 WEEK

ARPG games are ment to be grindy games, if you don't like, don't play. Poe is more grindy than other ARPG games. Also getting best gear in no time is not fun since you have nothing to play for. If you want casual game go play diablo

Oh yay, this discussion again!

I always look forward to the inevitable "One Week Into the League and the Number of Players Has Dropped ##%, Here's Why the Sky is Falling" thread.

It wouldn't be a real league without it.

It's got it all, idiotic interpretation of steam chart figures, zero challenge guy complaining about league mechanics, game XXX will kill POE.

A mention of "close your eyes and slam" or "feeling the weight" and it would be a full house in a game of forum cryhard bingo.

Change it to Lost Ark.

It is casual friendly too.

so, first of all, your post is being reported for personal attacks and negativity and your path of exile account is at risk at this point

second, i could took online players _at this time_ (50k) and the picture would look much, much worse. daily online peak is very fair metric. if the game is fun, why wouldn't you play it, and, it seems like it is so fun that you are here reading the forums instead of playing

For better or worse this is what POE is. A pure race to do everything faster than anyone else.

well, with this attitude you have already lost
because there are guys who farmed headhunter day 2
so your point is..?

i got enough of this competitive bullshit IRL

I myself might quit. Not because I don't enjoy the game but because I don't see the point in farming. I guess I can test the 4 conquerors.

Burner forum account makes the whole thing look scuffed to begin with, I personally think there are still substantial problems everywhere and this particular league isn't addressing anything but the base atlas issues.

That aside I can't see why prognostications of doom help, the game has a certain audience and a good number of people who play each league aren't that audience - that isn't a PoE problem either its most games.

In your case OP the burner private account makes your experience suspicious, the first thing I want to see when i'm reading a critique of HC is that a player has played HC, not that they look from outside in then make judgements without experience.

You just read like a jaded old player that comes back every league to shout about the same things but have to hide that you've not actually played since Harbinger trying to use the pop numbers as a fulcrum to leverage your personal issues.

That being said I agree with points 3 and 4, their trade mantra is at odds with their intentions for gameplay and the game has felt significantly worse for me 3.15 onwards, That isn't to say that things haven't improved since then but its a long way from ritual for my personal enjoyment.

i've been creeping around these forum's for years, i would be much more concerned that the game is dying if i didn't see these posts every 3 months.

thank you for your valuable addition the discussion

Thanks for the laugh...

I would agree with OP reasons i left and now playing Lost Ark having actually fun.

So lets begin.After completing the 4 new bosses and got my atlas to 100/117 completition this is my review for the League.

1.Idiotic yet again after death effects.
2.Game feels more unbalanced than ever from leveling to bossing the whole progress is disqusting.
3.Idiotic boss mechanics with no actual counter play for most builds unless you got mirror gear.
4. 28 maps to revising the boss? No thanks see ya
5.No actually buffs to gems we are not even 3.15 dps wise you just jebaited.
6. Already uninstalled and probably wont even return for PoE2 after playing Lost Ark path of of exile feels like a 50 years old game.

Actually it feels so empty with no ways to introduce you to the lore.
It does not feel like a game for me anymore Lost Ark blew my mind what an amazing game realy.

Already the League is dead with 50k Average playing on Steam.

See ya PoE you will be remembered
