General Discussion - why PoE is dying - Forum

It's an interesting model, fully acknowledging that you have real problems appealing to new players, and scaling their experience. Eventually you can see the problem in this calculation if players leaving eclipse new player retention overall. Since Expedition, with some outliers, PoE had been attracting more and more players through aggressive marketing, but their retention numbers have suffered equally percentage wise. I never thought it was a compliment to say "wow look at all the players trying our game!", to then see "wow I guess most people don't like it." Either way we will find out in around 4 weeks how many of those casual players want to continue their PoE PhD studies, or just move the fuck on with a game that respects their time more. this game sure as shit dont hold your hand its frustrating as fuck sometimes but its like anything else in life the struggle often makes the payoff feel that much better i currently am kinda on a break from poe burnt out and tired of the current trends and design choices but its still a great game and the best of the genre right now (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س	Posted by RitualMurder on Apr 28, 2023, 5:40:27 PM Quote this Post

No. the games doing really well considering it's a skeleton crew working on POE1 10+ years after launch. Don't forget the vast majority of players "quitting" and complaining play every single league.	Posted by AmpegV4 on Apr 28, 2023, 10:28:14 PM Quote this Post

It never ceases to amaze me the number of complaints that happen about the difficulty of the game. And then the number of "solutions" to the problems that are thin arguments to make the game "better." No one wants to actually learn to play a game anymore, they just want everything from gear to maps handed to them the second they make their first character.

And POE will be dying in d4 that's a fact...maybe not for you, but for me and a lot of other players that will be true. Never invite Vorana, Last To Fall at a beer party.
