Then why is godlike "EA", if the players cannot express their opinion? When the 1.0 come, it would be good, if nobody play with this ?
You just wanna save the game, and come to every post to prove yourself. Player numbers don't show you're right.

You do know that not every game is for everyone? Lots of people love fortnite, should would i go on their forum and tell them how bad the game is and how horrible their idea are because I personally dont like it?

They said from the start, they want to make a game they enjoy playing themselves. So if you dont like that, just go play something else.

If only you could give more feedback than "it's not poe1" and "i dont like that".

Keep crying.


The problem is even they are not playing it... That speaks in volume
Just saying ^^

Its just sad that the game has lost over 90% of its players and yet it keeps tripling down


a)
What do you mean "keeps tripling down?" We have had literally one content patch since EA released. One. How have they tripled down when they haven't even had an opportunity to double down?

b)
No players have been "lost." A bunch of people checked out the first EA build and a lot of them decided to wait for the full release before playing. There's nothing sad or even surprising about this. It's how most EA releases go -- a lot of people bought into the Baldur's Gate 3 EA in 2020 and then never played it again until 2023 when it released.

Most people don't want to play unfinished games. That's really genuinely fine and nothing for anyone to worry about. When PoE2 1.0 is approaching GGG will start spending the massive reserve of cash they banked with the EA release on a marketing push that will undoubtedly bring a huge portion of these "lost" players back.

You have two reasonable options at this point: be patient with the current state of the game (messy, unpolished, incomplete) and provide feedback that will help shape the eventual release, or don't -- join the majority of players and wait for 1.0 to release and see if you like the game then.

That's it -- this scenario many of you seem to be concocting in your head where the current player numbers somehow lead to a major reorganization at GGG and a massive shift in the design direction for the game is just a dead end. It's just not going to happen.



how can you possibly make a claim "no players have been lost" when just on this page alone there are like 5 players who are gone .. . my self included. . you tell your self and to others that they are waiting for 1.0 let me tell you im not waiting for 1.0 im waiting for when they announce that they cancel poe 2 entirely and make visual update to poe 1 . . this game sucks and majority who have tried it .. . simply say it that it sucks and let me tell you. . 1.0 will probably have less players than 0.2 becuase every patch like this less and less players are going to be willing to put up with this crap

and you gonna play alone hand in hand with the jonathan in his 15-30 mins a week that he play and you give them all the money for future development? :D do you think the players in poe 2 are actually enough to pay the game development? i will not give GGG anymore money going forward untill i get visual upgrade for poe 1 . what happens when alot act that way? i dont see why we poe 1 players who mostly hate poe 2 should pay for poe 2. more than we already paid
every friend i have that was playing the game has quit and they arent even interested in coming back.

the delusional state of some of the people on this forum is shocking.

same here.. no one i know wants to come back to the game and none of them is having any hope of GGG making poe 2 actually good ...

we see the patches and the "fixes" which are basically telling us they are not willing to fix what is bad but they are willing to make it just a tiny bit less shit ..

maps too large? dont worry we got checkpoints for you and more and more checkpoints as many as you want ... well guess what i dont want to need checkpoints !!!!

loot system is bad? dont worry we will keep the loot system but just give you an illusion that more stuff drops but they are all useless and come with more issues like rarity

you guys dont like to prepare towers? dont worry we will make like it looks better but in reality you still need to be slave for towers and stack 3 over lapping towers with 9 specific mods over lapping tablets.. all for you.

ehh everything about this game.. is so bad

The mentality of "Don't like it ? Don't buy it" is extremely dangerous and already proven to be financially dangerous. Concord, AC Shadow, Dustborn, the DEI woke slop games have that sentiment.

If GGG trying to capture new audience with PoE 2 that is completely different than PoE 1 audience, then for sure they can do it. Whether it will be a financial success when the game releases and years after that with league releases cycle, that is remain to be seen.

But shielding GGG behind "Early Access" , "Don't like it ? Don't play it" its not the way. Especially when GGG is no longer a small company and should be held in high standard. They have a decade of experience when developing PoE 1, and to completely botch every lessons from that, EVEN THOUGH PoE 2 took PoE 1 core design foundation, is really mind boggling.

Its fine if PoE 2 is actually completely different than PoE 1, but its not.

its just a 9999999999 times worse version of the same game with better visual.. then it makes me wonder why not go back to original plan.. graphic / visual update to poe 1 with new campain that you can chose which one of them you want to play.. . and the new system that you can have more than 1 6 links. .
I just don't really see an alternative. PoE 1 feels abandoned by devs, I also think PoE 2 brought many improvements, even though so much stuff is still worse, I kind of still have hope in the future, I just think it might take another 2 years to fix.

Maybe they share the same destiny as Blizzard - they make the new game bad, a new studio arise and take their players. I just don't see the new studio yet. I didn't like Last Epoch that much, I loved Grim Dawn, but I played it too much already. D4 no comment, it was fun for a while, not anymore. What else there is. After 0.1 I even came back to an old Might and Magic series :-D.

In my oppinion, PoE 2 has a huge potential to be the greatest ARPG game ever, and I still want to believe in GGG making it, I'll just keep posting my suggestions on forums and reddits hoping it changes something :). I refuse to give up just yet.

But seeing people with 40 supporter badges giving up on them, that is definitely worrying.

This is what I wish more people saw.
I'm a brand new player to ARPGs. I brought 15 players with me to PoE2 in 0.1. Of the 16 people only one still plays. I may not have 40 supporter badges. However, people are quitting the game. And of the 16 players I think maybe 3 will actually try full release, the rest were so disgusted with the .2.0 patch and the fact it's failures that took away the fun they were having weren't addressed or reassured quickly.... that they won't be coming back.

I'm one of the three and I'd say me coming back for 1.0 is a 50/50 depedning on future patch notes. Cuz I'll be real. If the patch notes don't include solving the gatcha problem and the game being boring as hell now I really am not interested in trying it.


I also think it's crazy how toxic the people who support recent changes are to people that disagree. Even in this thread there's the "this game isn't for you, leave" crowd. That will never make a successful game. True elitism and pushing away a new player base will doom your game. The community elitism alone has me closer to not trying patch 1.0 than anything else.
