Steam is going balistic

" Glad you understood the comment about "idle shop browsing". Since PoE 1, I was a SSF enthusiast because the crafting was pretty good and build enabling. We can go from Act 1 to Uber Boss just by crafting our own gear while putting the time and effort to learn. PoE 2, especially, in 0.2 update the game is frustrating and no-rewarding. Floor loot is bad, crafting is inexistent and the time x effort isn't proportional. The only viable way to upgrade gear is throu trading. There is so much PoE 2 could accomplish in this EA, but this maniacal D2 Vision from a 20 years ago fantasy is sinking it. |

"Talking about logic and making basic logic flaws. The topic is "Is patch 0.2 responsible for the decline?", thus you need to gather evidence about "patch 0.2". Taking Steam reviews is valid, and there it says "64% of recent reviews are negative". Then fabricating the counter-argument, "but 72% of the overall reviews are positive", is meaningless because it's not about 0.1 + 0.2, it's about 0.2. Furthermore, that the reviews from 0.1 were so positive compared to 0.2 is actually another evidential point. [Removed by Support]

When you don't understand polling, data, or how to interpret data. You say stuff like this.
So let's break it down since you clearly have a confirmation bias and don't really understand how data works. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2694490/Path_of_Exile_2/ So far, 17,601 people have left a negative review of POE 2. In comparison 123,720 people have left a positive review. In the last 30 days, yes roughly 75% of them have been negative. A whopping 3,000 reviews have been posted as negative since Dawn of the hunt. 3,000 people out of approx 80-100k players DAILY. Even on the high end...thats less than 7% of the playerbase having a negative experience. That means over 90% of the player base are enjoying themself or at the very minimum not hating enough to tarnish the review data. The problem, is you went on steam, saw that review section and didn't care to even dig into the data. You just confirmed your own bias and moved on. I bet you didn't even click the review section and see that not even 3,000 reviews have been left since the latest launch and I will put top dollar you didn't even read any of the reviews. 95% of nonsense. What you did do, is come on this forum and/or reddit and confirm your bias ever more without ever realizing that both of these channels together don't even account for 5% of the player base. All these data is openly available and easily understood if you took more than 5 minutes to parse through it. Last edited by Hyperspacing#5593 on Apr 27, 2025, 4:03:53 PM

" A bunch of people came together or did so out of their own will and downvoted the game, claiming it was, because of changes made in 0.2. And while this might seem really bad at first glance, because 60% of people recently downvoted the game, it made a total difference of 5%: from 80% total positive reviews to 75% total positive reviews. So, what's your point exactly? To me it seems like you're building up a difference of 5% to be representative of the whole playerbase. Last edited by Naharez#3496 on Apr 27, 2025, 4:10:40 PM

" You are also a troll but you put in a bit of effort in your trolling. I will entertain you for just a bit. Go to the filters section of the reviews. Click on the playtime one and check the place that says played 10h+. It will show you that 0.2 was SO BAD that it even brought down OVERALL reviews from overwhelmingly positive to MIXED.

" Look bro, I don't know if you are trolling or not with these references but, no disrespect, when it comes to poe 2 0.2 and it's reception you are clearly in denial. It's perfectly fine if you are loving everything about it but it's no use pretending there isn't significant negative feedback about it. Now sure, angry people are louder and you'll hear them more that people who are perfectly fine enjoying the game and minding their own business. But in this case it's very clear that a large portion of the player base is not happy about the state of the game and that player retention is just not very good. I can't see into the future but it's not crazy to think that if ggg completely turns a blind eye to it eventually people are going to leave in droves and completely lose interest in poe. To be honest in some cases the game feels like it's actively trying to block you out of having fun, removing the things that people are enjoying and adding restrictions where it really doesn't serve that much purpose aside from vexxing the player. Surely they're not doing it out of pure sadism, there's probably an aim to achieve a certain balance, but if it comes at the cost of making the game unfun for most people I'm not sure this is a good path to take. As a matter of fact it is a Path... of exile (see what I did there ?) Last edited by LFA01#0120 on Apr 27, 2025, 4:14:01 PM

" Honestly not even worth engaging with the troll, just report him for trolling and move on. Save the facts, evidence, logic, reason, for those with intellectual integrity. |

It seems I'm able to debate a dozen people or so by myself and win. Guess that makes me a troll.

jesus christ, i just have to tune in to say how god damn annoying [Removed by Support] and [Removed by Support] are
so incredibly biased towards their own perception and just. won't. stop. typing. it's funny how these guys are actually the very vocal minority and have in fact been posting on this forum like there's no tomorrow, while really many people have fair criticisms about the game state right now. just accept it and get over it.
