not fun for YOU. it's fun for us

well it might be fun for YOU but not for US.

I do respect a game company willing to dump a lot of money into building a game and running a live service that many people are not going to enjoy.

Lighting a match to that much money is definitely something that takes some balls.

I really hope all of the people who like this kind of game really really patronize it and spend their money. I wont be, and I am thinking many others are in the same boat.

who are you though? you are the vocal minority, the game has more players than poe 1 and it has 81% positive reviews on steam

the fact that poe 1 subreddit is malding about the game's state proves that it's a good game

The vocal minority are probably those glazing the game and saying "don't nerf difficulty" when it's not even difficult to begin with, but merely feels like a chore. Most people don't bother checking/writing on forums or reddit. Player retention, spending, and which way ggg decides to go balance wise will tell us what the truth on the matter is.

Positive reviews on steam right now, and player numbers are irrelevant as the game is less than 48h old and ofc people are still trying it no matter what. I'm towards the end of act 2 and think the game is a piece of shit cause the bosses are needlessly spongy and tedious (again, not difficult) and i won't be here in a week, probably. Ask yourself, if i have no problems progressing and still think the game is shit and will stop playing, what do you think all the people who can't even kill the crypt bosses or geonor will do? And again, remember, like 90% of them don't even bother with forums/reddit.

This !

weak players will be filtered out and the game will lose about 80% of its players, this is completely normal for a game like this

Thanks for reminding me, I have changed my review to negative with the comment that "combat feels good, the gear drops don't feel rewarding and needs balancing".

This is my sentiment exactly.

Good to see you are behind a business model which thrives on losing 80% of it's potential player base.

Oh wait, you aren't! and GGG is a for-profit company (so is Tencent). But if it makes you somehow special thinking those who dislike the gameplay are "weak" and need to be "filtered out", sure mate. Take the win!

just got home and logged in, it's so funny how the poe 2 ingame chat is the exact opposite of this forum and everyone's making fun of the poe 1 forum/subreddit

people here think they're the majority but it's nothing more than an echo chamber. the majority is having a blast and they're spending their time enjoying the game instead of yapping

if you don't like the game, it's not made for you and you should stop playing, simple as that

GGG shouldn't listen to the nonsense feedback and ruin the game like they did with poe 1

Actually I don't care that much

Not all games are for everybody. They don't need to be.
The game has been out for less than 48 hours. It is 4th in steam with current player count. It has more current players than PoE1 at it's peak. Saying it is not a good game is objectively false. Does it need work? yes... that is why it's called early access.

PoE1 peaked at 228,398 players
PoE2 peaked at 539,149 players and currently has 380,288 people playing.

Seeing people argue about the state of a game that just launched into beta is extremely entertaining. It's in EARLY ACCESS!!!
People who think it's too hard - Changes will be made
People who love how it is - Changes will be made.
There will be tons of patch runs before this game launches fully. Ya'll gotta chill out. Just saying "it's not fun" with no critical feedback is a waste of time btw. So is "game is good, you suck for not liking it". There are a lot of issues with the game currently. Some that will cause the game to not succeed if not altered, even if a small subset of players like said things.
