After 30 days, the game has almost 3x more players than any PoE 1 league had during that "league" time.

If PoE 1 maintains 70k players per month and is considered a success for an ARPG, PoE 2 maintaining 100k is even more successful.

I'm not seeing a flop in terms of numbers so far, I'm seeing people wanting to compare other games with ARPGs.

And let's face it, 30 days is more than enough for those who really thought the game was bad to have already dropped out. And don't come here saying "but look at the drop in players" NO game maintains the same player base as when it was launched, including many famous games considered a "success", which had a huge drop in the first few days.


i think youre overestimating these numbers a bit. a huge chunk of these players are actual casuals, people still in acts or starting with endgame. most of them wont start over ever again. yes, it was a huge boom because of marketing and hype, but the actual numbers atm tell us nothing but 62% left in 1 Month.

100% this the people complaining are the people GGG no longer cares for. It's these # that have made them keep pushing towards their vision because that player count is not counting people using their personal launcher either but I can bet you a dozen mirrors on PoE1 that their player base is probably almost triple concurrent players versus PoE1.
The hate for this game is beyond insane. It feels manufactured to be honest.

I can see it now. 1.0 releases to 3 million concurrent players...

"JUST WAIT ANY DAY NOW IT'S GONNA PLUMMET TO 5K, PEOPLE SERIOUSLY HATE THE GAME YOU CAN FEEL IT"

Some of these posts have to be trolls. Or some sort of outrageous push to tarnish the game for some disingenuous reason.

I haven't played in weeks, but I can't wait for future patches, i'll be back.
People still in the acts lmfso no just no it’s now over a month into ea that’s not the case

Still in the acts …. Lmfao
You may dislike the game in very many ways and prefer POE1. That is fair enough. And we can all make predictions about the future. But one thing that appears unlikely given experience to date is that the game will "flop" in terms of general interest or numbers of players. In terms of both overall media interest and number of players, the game can only be considered a major success at this point.

"muh retention"

lost ark also had amazing retention for a few months

look where it is now

this game is popular because it's new and it's almost the best arpg despite its countless flaws

haha posting the half part of steamcharts curves, let's post the other part please, so we can see the -16% players on one month and the selling drops from top selling stats please?

And get the state of the curve also, and compare it to some title that flop hard this year, just to have fun

The fact that it was at the top of top selling at all is an incredible feat. I don't think it's all that important if it trickles downwards after that. Going from near #1 to #6 most top selling still means it's #6 most top selling, after all, which is an impressive feat in and of itself.
It's doing fine.

Cope.
lmao is this a real thread?

The game has already sold over a million copies, my dude. We know for a fact that it did not flop, it already made a shitload of money. You might not like the game... okay, whatever? But saying it isn't already a huge success is an absolute meme.
