HALF of playerbase has quit in 1 WEEK

I took a break to play lost ark with friends. My friends can't handle poe. However I'm soon back as my friends are close to the "end game cruise" and I really hate it.

Peak today was 86k. It's a new epic drop.

I can't wait to see the number of PoE players on coming Saturday and the weekend after that. To see if people will actually bother to play this league any more.

But of course, player number is just a vanity metric. And there is a huge number of players who didn't play through Steam. So the number on Steam means nothing.

developers need to reconsider their phylosophies because this game will be so dead when diablo 4 comes out

That was a good one

I like doing story. It's fun to test things out and re roll if you don't like it. So "nobody cares about story" is false.

If everything is so garbage and has been for years, why oh why, pray tell, are you still here? smh

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.

It's because after a week of playing it's that clear league mechanic is low effort to say the least.

On the topic, op ain't much wrong about his points. Also there is Lost Arc launch. Personally wouldn't LA even if they gave it to me for free with all mtx included. Don't know what is the appeal for it.

That's the double-edged sword of league model. You get a big influx of players, and you can build hype and get more revenue, but the end results are also heavily dependent on whether the league is good or not. I liked expedition so I played it more, didn't like scourge so I barely touched it.

And, dunno if this practice of tacking on a weak league to atlas rework is really working out. I mean, if I don't like the league I can just try out the atlas when there's a good league on the table, it won't go anywhere.

I quit in like 12 hrs because of insane micromanagement of Acrh thingies...not stackable...no individual slots...alt tab and search because they all look the same. Don't need that in my life.

No supporter packs, privated profile. Yep this is just some dude from reddit who got bored.

Keep in mind, lost ark just got released? And you are also comparing weekend numbers with weekday numbers.

You clearly aren't extrapolating this data properly. Why do you come here? Do you play? or do you come to the forums to hope people will hate this game the way you do?

Extrapolating works this way:

If trend stays, the league from its start will hit zero online in 11 days.

Enjoy!
The show!

xD

Are those numbers from the steam poe client? If so ... you don't need steam to run poe ... just saying.
