Maps are brutal

I'm sorry. I have no idea who let the way waypoints are thru but fire them. No one wants to spend 15 mins in a map. No one. They are to big OR we move to slow (take your pick). They aren't fun. I can't get thru tier 2 without the ing the game off after 1. The drops suck which makes the maps feel like a waste of time. I guess we could juice maps but currency doesn't drop. Items still are not good as rares don't drop. Crafting isn't crafting. So. What do we do? End game has turned every single supporter off. They couldn't move to epoch fast enough. Heck I went back to a game I have 3000 hours in to get away from maps.

If you continue with this, poe2 will be short lived. No one will care. People are already turning away (watch the youth e videos.. these are your biggest supporters. And they won't any more). The lack of communication is brutal. We have no idea what's being worked on. And you want us back?

Communication isn't hard. There has to be at least one person who has 20 mins to let the community know every few days..

"Hey guys. We are trying something with maps . Let you know". A few days later . "Hey. The thing we did we don't like. So yeah. Things are going...". No game company has ever done this. But no game company has had more to lose. 2 games sitting on the brink. And silence..

Whats up with people saying "no one wants to do this" when theres like 80,000 people out there doing the thing they say no one wants to do? Maps don't take 15 minutes for a half decent character. You're struggling on T2 so obviously your character needs to be fixed. Respec or something ?

LE playercount is at half of its release numbers and will continue to plummet back towards the ~3000-4000 it was used to. Can we stop talking about that game as if its a threat at all to poe 2? It's silly.

8 dec almost 600k players 20 dec 392k (as you like to round things up) 8 Feb 150k players

4 April 240k players today 26-4 at my current time 70k players (all figures rounded up.

If you do not see a problem here, then the problem is not with everyone else, but it is with you.

150k people that liked the game after 2 months clearly did not play at launch at 0.2.

210-220k people that played 0.1 after 2 months stopped played after 2 weeks of 0.2

yea it's clear that everyone who don't like 0.2 is in the wrong, guess what bozo, they are triple the amount of the people like you. Not even to mention the amount of tradebots/farmers included in the current numbers.

if you wanna ADHD zooming go play POE1 BRO

Obviously the game they hyped up for years is gonna be way more popular on its initial release than any other time, particularly a week after a shitty patch that broke the game.. Like, thanks for the graph bro

if you want slow gameplay go play candy crush or something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46s5MuQn2iA

I ain't even playing POE2 until the next update. All i said is that there are people enjoying the game just fine so saying "no one wants to do this" is just a dumb thing to say. Especially when your struggles are due to you sucking at the game and getting stuck on a tier 2 map

I'm not everyone, but I agree that the maps, with the current drop, are terribly boring.

I do them because I'm still giving the game a chance. I have a glimmer of hope for some improvement.

Can you explain PoE2 having more people than LE currently then?

See, you doomers have no clues and are just being drama queens, numbers are expected to drop with these kind of games, the 600k at the beginning were at the very least 75% of tourists that never played PoE and a bunch of them who thought this was a dark soul game, those got filtered out, now all that remain is people that actually enjoy the game and doesn't rants all day on the forums. and those numbers are better than all others ARPGs including the game you should play instead: PoE1.

As a person currently playing through maps on a rather weird (this means shit) character, I do agree that they're terribly boring. Until you get some towers up and throw some mechanics in there. Going just from rare to rare isn't all that engaging though I find expeditions and rituals to be rather fun.
Also omens and artifacts drop like candy there and they're actually worth something.

There definitely needs to be more entertaining stuff in maps that aren't big mechanics as a baseline, but you can kind of make your own fun if you have some tablets ready to go, and you do get free tablets for completing mechanics the first time.
