Nothing can save 0.2 update anymore

Only POE 1 players like to say that this league is doomed etc etc. Here is a fact for you guys since everyone likes comparing poe1 and 2. This league has had better numbers than any poe1 league ever. Jonathan said so himself in the last interview. Now i don't know if it is actually better than all poe1 leagues but I am sure it has better numbers than majority of them.
Having said that I completely empathize with poe1 players as I am one myself. I understand there is frustration as we are not getting our poe1 fix. Which is why we are not ready to entertain the thought that poe2 is just made for a different audience. There is no need for doom and gloom and there is no need for poe2 to be any different that it is now. As time goes on when both games will be firing on all cylinders we would appreciate the choice we have of playing two different games. All we gotta do is wait a bit longer. POE1 is not about to die. the fact that they are making clearly different choices in poe2 is proof of that. Ironically all the feedback that comes from poe1 players is directed towards making peo1 redundant and it is more likely to kill poe1 than GGGs natural design choices of making poe2 different. Thus retaining value of both the games. In short I urge the community to be patient as I believe this is just a short term disruption (3-6 months) and it would be better in the future. |

" there is nothing at all that they can patch in the next days that would make someone who isnt already enjoying the game to start enjoy it. because all they can do in such a short time is small bandages where it hurts most... or give you a painkiller pill.. so they add 1 more exalt to drop in a boss .. . will that change the reality of overall loot being so bad and unfun? you can kill 1 milion white mobs you are more likely than likely to not find anything. .. you still need rarity you still need 3 towers.. you still need to throw away 99.999% of your maps becuse you only run maps with high % item rarity and quant or you have no loot.. and that is just 0.1% of the problems |

" first ill say that my money as PoE 1 player paid for PoE 2 development. . entirely.. so guys coming here telling me poe 2 isnt for me i have poe 1 and i should go there.. that total... ****** ... maybe poe 2 shouldnt be for you and you have elder ring .. or whatever.. . but its my money that paid for poe 2 development under constant promises and reassurances that we got from GGG which now they broke all of them.. also is it just poe 1 players not liking poe 2 ? because there are more players playing poe 1 than poe 2 . . and poe 2 started with a peak of 600k and lost most of them.. |

"The PoE1 and PoE2 league comparison makes it look worse for PoE2, not the other way around. PoE2 0.2 had a peak of 245k, and that's higher than any PoE1 league, BUT PoE1 leagues don't include Chinese player because they have their own Chinese Client, that's not the case for PoE2, they use mostly Steam atm. So, the numbers are inflated in comparison. Furthermore, nobody cares how high the peak was; that's secondary. What actually matters is the retention. PoE2 0.2 lost in its first month, 75% of the player base... WITH Chinese players. The only comparable leagues in PoE1, that had similar numbers are: - Lake of Kalandra - Archnemesis - Necropolis and if you have played these leagues, you know why. PoE2 0.2 lost in 4 weeks as many players (percentage-wise) as PoE2 0.1 in 3 months... [Removed by Support]

" Im a semi casual with 5 young children, my oldest turned 5 in January and im about to hit lvl 90 in hardcore with a stormweaver playing lightning spear with with 9.6k energy shield and 20k dps. Trust me it's a completely different experience to how your playing softcore. Try it. Its like a completely different game. |

" PoE1 started on low player numbers and was steadily growing until plug was pulled. PoE2 started high and dropped like a stone. |
|
" if poe 1 players stop trusting GGG and stop donations im wondering if GGG will even have the funds to develop poe 2 at all.. because even now with all the mess their income is still from the loyal players i hope GGG dont forget that new players comes and go and its the ones that for 11 years buying their support who stay and support them |
