And you're helping here how? Does GGG pay you to defend the game? Do you get gratification or ego boost attacking other posters who you disagree with?

Fanboism is one of the most laughable things one can witness on the Internet. Other people criticizing a half baked and very flawed commercial product seems to personally offend you. You probably think anyone who dares to voice negative opinion about an entertainment product on the Internet is a nobody loser who doesn't know what he's talking about, you do you, nobody is forcing you to change your opinion. Whether it's musicians, filmmakers, athletes, or even game developers, some pretend they're pefect flawless beings incapable of mistakes and immune to criticism. IRL far more successful people than Jonathan or Chris laugh at posts like yours, nobody at that level think like the fanboys, some of them have in fact been laughing with me but now want me to stop wasting my time. They also want me to stop playing a niche video game that few people outside the English speaking world have even heard of, and I also might, not that anybody cares. I'm sure the game will flourish just like WoW and d3 and d4 did, when top streamers, top ladder players, tons of people deep in endgame and tons of poe1 veterans are all pointing out flaws, whilst people like you are here being its staunchest defenders.


You are clueless, I have made more feedback posts relating to the game than you ever will, again you aren't providing any feedback, but regurgitating well known issues, with a comically aggressive tone. GGG is in a vacation and won't provide update within this period, it's been always like that in this time of the year.
Also, learn to type better.
And I am a PoE1 veteran.


Nice vet but ain't seing no mageblood headhunter nimis or progenesis in any of your build. You somehow all have the same profile when defending the current state of POE2, either 1 character lvl 60 unable to finish POE1 campaign or ppl unable to interact with POE 1 economy and endgame crafting.
I think that the haters are now resorting to cheap lies is proof of how good POE2 is.
So many things that took years to get fixed in poe 1 are back in full effect. I thought the lessons learned from early poe 1 would carry over a bit but I guess not. Minions pathing is horrific. How did it take forever to fix in poe 1 and not work in poe 2? No convocation? I have to use a cheesy weapon swap?

Personal opinion?
The game lost over 60% of its players, and the game had fewer players at launch than Diablo 4 at launch.


Not 60.

578.000 steam peak, 8 dec.
Right now 24h peak is 335.000.
And this is steam only, which can be just ~50% of people, so x2 to all those numbers for full picture.

And again, success is measured by how other games started and lasted for quite a while. For example Last Epoch started with 265k and after three weeks landed on 100k. That means its result is worse than PoE2.

If we take POE1, the results are the same. It started with 34k and after three weeks it landed on 20k, which is similar to POE2 results (% same, just numbers are bigger).

So, POE2 is doing alright. Not an "unpredictable success", but not a fiasco either. Especially for EarlyAccess (aka Big Beta) version.

Let's take hugely popular EA - Baldurs Gate 3. It started with 74.000 on peak and after three weeks it landed on 15.000 which is super bad in comparison with POE2 EA results. And yet, later, after full release, this game turned out to be a HUGE success.

Agreed.
The unfortunate part is that the mods are siding with them, and the same mods who put people in probation for saying "charming" to namecallers are refusing to moderate doomposters / hateposters / other trolling.
HCSSF is the only way.
honestly, just look at friends playing &/or groups you know. There's several people on my friends list not logging in for days. I have a group that are big Poe players and all but two have stopped a week ago.

Poe 2 is awful.

Maps layouts are almost all absolutely terrible, with an even worse game design around completing maps. And that's not the worse aspect of endgame mapping; traversing the atlas to find towers that you can juice is so damn bad. It's a huge time sink and so frustratingly boring.

You have no crafting at all in this game, outside of Rog I guess. Ultimately it's all wishful thinking and fingers crossed.

Campaign is absolutely ridiculous and totally pointless too. Such a waste of time, so much so I suspect a lot of people will never make a new character. And ascendency is the biggest fail too, making people wanting to make a new character even less likely.
if you think its dropping players now wait until they release the next poe league and all the people who only play now because they dont want to play settlers for 6 months leave and go back to poe...

Ah, now I see where the problem is now, you guys are completely clueless and insane, do one thing, keep seething and whinning, eventually you will run out of battery in real life too.
Also, please finish your high school and focus on reading comprehension first.

Lets be real here, blizz makes more money on MTX from d4 than poe2 has made from EA preorders. Magnitudes more. Immortal is bringing tens to hundreds of millions a month.


Oh please, even with infinite resource you and your masters will be unable to create any decent ARPG, or any good game to be accurate in future. Forget competing with PoE2.

Also, learn how to view someone's profile, read cost of a character, value of items, you are going to fall hard in PoE2, and it's not even complete.
