GGG think carefully about your audience.

The last major POE 1 league had record number of players.

Because of PoE2 probably.

I'll be amazed if the next poe1 league does well. Who the hell is going back to it? To do the atlas again, all the unveils again, get all the heisters again, kill the same pinnacles again, leave another pair of dawnstriders on the ground, grind boss splinters again, chaos spam t17 maps again looking for any decent mods. It's tiring to even think about.

I will definitely go back to Poe 1.
Poe 2 has nothing, it's incredibly depleted of anything fun and whatever is left to do is ultra slow and the punishment is insane. Only a masochist would enjoy playing PoE 2. Unless of course, you are playing 1 of the 3 builds that haven't gotten deleted yet.

I'm a big Elden Ring fan which is why I'll be playing Nightrein and not bothering with this POS unless they change course.

yes "dwindling PoE1 audience"

Seems you dont even play POE1

Last League had T17 maps without the broken Necropolis gear. The endgame was harder than ever. Its pretty obvious you have never played PoE 1 without religiously following a build guide and paying for your gear with real money.

LOL You didnt even click on my profile

Id bet that the next POE1 league is going to be bigger because of the hype of POE2 new players are going to try out POE1 to see why REAL POE players are so disappointed with POE2

Just make TWO DIFFICULTY LEVES AND LET EVERYONE ENJOY THE GAME!!!


Seriously... why is this even a discussion??? WHY???

Somehow for most of the "git gud" army that enjoys this sadistic punishing gameplay, having more people play the game is a bad thing for them... they care more about flexing that they play "the hardest game" than actually having the game succeed...

So if you had a normal mode that is easier and 2 million people playing it and funding your game for you to play Ruthless would be a "bad thing" for you???

Or are you scared that actually 95% of people would go to the standard normal easier mode and you'd be proven wrong and THAT is what is your problem?

NOBODY is telling you to stop enjoying the sadistic Ruthless mode... just let us HAVE FUN and play cool builds for chill good fun in our mode... WHY IS THAT BAD FOR YOU???

Again I'm reminded of a quote from George Lucas about the Star Wars prequals. He was asked why he thought the prequals failed and he admitted that he made them for him self, the way he wanted to tell Anakin's story, and the story was personal to himself. He said he ignored his audience and he failed because he should have given his fanbase a movie that they expected a star wars movie to be.

Or something like that.

CORRECT. CLASSIC. CONFIRMED. FACTUAL. WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

I am 100% more excited for the next D4 xpac than POE2 launch.

Its okay, u can stay in poe 1, ggg owns both of them...
