228k on steam ATM. 6 portal blackmailers FELTED.

The Steam Store reviews are "tanking" a bit for the most recent ones...last I checked it says "mixed" for the "overview".

I do feel this 0.2 Release hurt GGG a bit, but I also feel it was needed...I'm still mixed on this lol..anyway

and all the xp on loss blackmailers failed as well.


Keep it up GGG, dont cave to them


We are so blessed by the team we have


Absolutely. I'm so sick of these people making posts demanding to completely change the game to the way THEY want it when they are the minority. They were saying the game is dead and will never recover unless they make these changes.

Nice work GGG glad they do not read this forum


The game isn't even released and it's already down 60%. That 60% of players isn't coming back anytime soon. I get that they don't need all 500K for the game to succeed, but you are two days into the first major update. The major update failed to retain 60% of the interested players who purchased the game, and it's only day two. The "weekend push to 500K" people were coping about isn't happening either lol

Stop with your blackmail posts. The people saying there would only be 25-50k playing on new league are delusional.

Keep up the good work GGG. Do not cave to these scrubs and there blackmail posts.


LOOOL, you say that as if GGG is winning, i played PoE for over 12 years, the game was always growing and hitting record numbers, i've skipped some leagues because of burnout, but came back in the nex one revitalized and played the game a a lot, PoE 2 got nearly 600k peak when it released, it's just the first content patch so noone is burned out of the game yet, and yet it's friday night and the best it can do is 225k players, worse than last PoE leagues, i literally updated, played 1 hour and quit the game, it never happened before, never in 12 years i went to play a league and quit without playing hundreds of hours.

Youre in complete denial if you think PoE 2 is doing good, imagine having a game peaking at 300k and growing every league, to shit on it to work on the number 2 and the number 2 does worse than hte one you had, and in the process you lose all the reputation you had with your loyal fanbase, imagine thinking that's a win.

First time EVER iam not going to maps,i just finish normal and was so bored .... .
That patch dosnt make sense for me, when this is the way GGG want to go with poe2 ... . They had so much stuff to change to get a good game. Its like they try to make a game for all arpg player,that wont wok.POE1 was a blast(even in apha) and had the chance bec of the ruin of diablo brand with the release of D3.Why to hell they try to make a game for everyone and dont keep content,mechanics that works.We are not at the beginning of the development of the POE brand, it allready exist.I give my bet, alot ppl will leave 0.2 rly fast,but maybe iam wrong.

They managed to reach a smaller launch playerbase for 0.2 than they did for Settlers, and all they had to do was neglect their money maker for a year.

I expected them to reach 250-300k this time around, but they couldn't even get there and they didn't achieve the weekend bump they did last time (the peak was established on a Sunday).

From a anecdotal pov, of the 29 people on my Steam friends that bought the game, there were 3 playing yesterday and 0 today, something absolutely unheard of for a PoE release.
PoE2 is a great tutorial for PoE1.

Yet again, as I said in the other toxic positivity thread, I don't understand why GGG tolerates these posts. It just leads to . . . this.
...0.2.0c update....SteamChart numbers lookin' OK...

228k poeple online to me is just a Q for L.A to me.
We have nothing to do waiting for L.E release.

on the 17, you'll see below 50k online and for a good amount of time xd
If i was running a company that lost 50% of its customers i wouldnt see that as a success
they need to add 6 portal.

- make it so dying does not reset the area and respawn all the monsters
- bring back normal 6 portal same as POE1
- also if you die you should respawn at the nearest check point OR portal that you have opened
- i would much rather see a easy difficulty curve during the campaign then a HARD STEAP curve when reaching maps. i want the campaign to be easy and fun and feel like you have power. at least for first time completion on that character.
Cool, still less than half of what was around during the game's launch.
