Standard dad gamer feedback after 100 hours.

75% of the people will quit after the campaign he says

we are over a week into EA and still at 500k steam players.




Sorry but no



Yeah the numbers don't lie and thats just steam. A fuck ton more people have the stand alone client (I do) and we play.

I think fundamentally it boils down to this.

Those who listened to GGG being very clear this is not going to be anything like POE 1

and those who didn't and expected POE 1

POE 2 is capturing a very different audience and im here for it. This game is superior in every aspect in my opinion than POE 1 and for people like me. This game is stellar.

Eventually those who prefer poe 1 will go back to poe 1 and those who like poe 2 will stay and what GGG wanted will be achieved. Two games that are capturing two different audience running together on such a beautiful landscape :)


Its exactly like PoE1 ! All the stupid ways to die are still in the game xD
The difference is that now its x20 times harder to react to it and avoid it.

I hope you realize most of the 500k are still in the campaign after a week?


Doesnt matter when other games like for example New World lose 60% after first week. It seems like people actually like the gameplay to stick around for so long dont you think?

it does matter because the statement by the OP is "once reached endgame/campaign ends" and thats what the discussion is about.

So just like poe1 :).
It'll absolutely happen that a lot of players will quit. Alone the anti-multiplay policy that made it into the game, aka 1 portal only, no resurrect, no rejoining in maps. OP is absolutely right and it'll be noticeable once some time passed and people finished their campaign only to realize that the endgame in it's current iteration sucks.

How the F can you call yourself a "dad gamer" when you played 12 hours per day?

Did you even saw the face of your kids?

well the endgame is much more like PoE1 after all and the campaign of PoE2 feels very different from the story playthrough

IDK I dont even have that amount of time since EA launched outside of work/sleep.

Had 2 days to really play and an hour maybe 30 minutes or NONE if I wasnt zzzz'd out on my other days to play. Still reached maps.
Naaah a billion % that most people are in campaign. Like I've seen people trying to buy stuff from trade and literally most players don't have a hideout yet because they're like in act 2 normal. So the buyer has to tp into town and wait for the long loading screen, this is so cringe when just trying to buy items.

People are taking ages to finish the campaign either because they're trying to play co-op so they can only login when their friend is online or simply because the campaign is taking too long. So I'd say like at least 60-70% of the players are still in campaign/rerolling cus their build was bad or nerfed into the ground. It takes so many hours to level a new char if you wanna copy an actual strong and fun build.
Lifelong NEET, loud and proud about it.
I like how the argument changed from 75% of the player base will be gone to now


"well those people dont matter since they still in the campaign"

Even though they have 0 evidence for it.


Its just cope upon cope upon cope.
