After just one week poe2 has more players on steam then LE does

"
Just as easy, are you kidding? You can effortlessly walk through the entire campaign in 3 hours without dying a single time. End game isnt hard until you decide its going to be.

They literally had to nerf the entire campaign because of the amount of casuals that couldnt handle it. Even post nerfs to the campaign it is much more difficult than LE is.


All you've said is that the starting difficulty of PoE higher. This is nowhere near enough to say "PoE is harder".

And the fact you even mention campaign to talk about difficulty already shows that you're not even talking on the same level I am. PoE's campaign is still ridiculously easy and can be finished severely undergeared. Just because GGG force-feeds you several hours of braindead boring gameplay doesn't make the game inherently more difficulty than others.

Lastly: there's not even really a comparison to be made in terms of difficulty for both games. They're fundamentally different.
PoE's hard cap to difficulty is 6 player party pinnacle bosses and endgame. Last Epoch's hard cap are computer variables' storage limits

With POE2 people dont make it to end game cause its too hard

with LE people dont make it to end game cause its too easy (boring)

in both situations, endgame isn't a relevant topic. Only talking about the quality of the endgame is really missing an important aspect and I don't understand why its so common to do that

lol there are literally hundreds of thousands of people who make it to end game.

Speak for yourself. Also content should be challenging and make you earn your rewards. I don't want everything handed to me

theres a bunch of people who dont make it too. no sense ignoring that demographic or getting overly defensive just because i had something negative to say about poe2. the point is that people need to start enjoying the GAME and stop obsessing over the end game
I think the game is as hard as it should and the campaign has good difficulty, it is challenging enough to filter bad players. The endgame IMO is the opposite, it is not hard enough, after you get there in a day or two you are doing T15 and fighting every pinnacle bosses. After that it is mindless repetition, as nothing challenges your build anymore and you only improve to see bigger DPS numbers on the screen. The game and retention would improve hard if they include more challenging endgame soon.
If the game was doing better, it wouldn't need people writing goofy posts like this. POE 2 is in a bad state right now and has a lot of folks unhappy with the current direction.
Just shows how the endgame in LE is - not good at all
It's Hilarious you say LE end game not hard it shows 90% of you never made to 3000+ corruption maps cause also there Pinnacle boss uber one harder any POE2 boss. In poe2 i can kill every boss at highest lvl in 5 secs. clear every map T16+ maps never die at all. But it still boring.

PoE2 end game sucks has since 0.1. only reason it did well in 0.1 was the loot was better and was more classes and builds to play. in 0.2 end game blows it not fun most players agree it sucks ATM needs a lot of work. loot is just not there. it has other issues. reason for LE dips in player base is cause many player getting ready for d4 and No Rest For The Wicked which both come out this week with new content updates. Also a lot players left both games to also play Oblivion 4 remaster.


As for Monster Hunter wilds it has update coming on April 29 that I'm sure will bring back some players with Arch-Tempered Rey Dau coming since it first Arch-Tempered boss in the game.

That's not even mentioning all other games most have no clue exist that have big updates coming in next week to few weeks.

90 percent of people never made it that far because the game is boring. Why do you think the numbers are dropping that fast. The game fails to keep you engaged until you reach that point.

Goes to show if GGG actually listened to the braindead 'feedback' posts trying to turn the game into an LE clone the game would actually fail. In fact if the game is so good why are you in the poe forums and not the LE forums?

I just like how ggg sold out from being a company that wanted to make the best arpg in the world to a company that just wants the most players they can get.
