Theres less people playing POE than Diablo TWO now on Xfire

people still use xfire?

what is xfire?

Is someone jelly that a FTP game is beating out some "top tier" arpg's? why else post this?

Xfire is like Friendster only dinosaurs use it

so poe is dead now?

Oh well then. Since Xfire said so....

Xfire came out around not long after Steam and people don't shit on Steam. I like Xfire as it it easily tracks my games and I'm used to it, I don't rely on it for other stats though. So fuck all the haters, it's still a useful tool.

And why would PoE have more players than d2?
D2 will keep reigning supreme as the undethronable ARPG king
D3 made D2 immortal and unsurpass-able forever
PoE is very neat, but it suffers from lack of means
Blizzard North had like unlimited funds and dev time
I'd wager D2 is still a better game than PoE, we're here because PoE is new.

Maybe if you haven't tried an alternative or know about the whole community issue back in 2011...

Xfire has one of the worst possible methods of hooking into games that I've seen. I was on the XFGM team in the past, and ran into "plenty" of overlay issues with games (I remember when input would be broken in all Source Engine games like CS:S and TF2 if Raw Input was enabled with Xfire In-Game enabled). How about all those crashing issues with Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3 because of Xfire In-game also because they pushed the rules without testing it with their sketchy overlay? Good times...

Not to mention that getting "less than known" games supported was also a pretty decent chore (took a bit of pressure for the Path of Exile rule I wrote to go through; heck, I wrote a perfectly working Diablo: Hellfire rule back in 2011 also and it still isn't accepted).

The concept of it is nice, but alternatives like Evolve and Raptr have done it better for a good while now, in my opinion anyway.

First of all, no. There are thousands more players of PoE than there are of Diablo 2. That's a fact.

Second of all, you're here because PoE is new? Ahahahahahahah.

I guess you missed the memo about the hundreds of thousands of players that have been playing for almost a year right?

PoE kicks the hell out of Diablo 2. It's also a better game. You claim D2 was better because it had a better dev team and more funds?

Ya, ok pal. That's why Battle.net was one long series of patches where the devs tried to play catch-up with the dupers and botters and hackers. There aren't any dupers on PoE.

Boom. Just rocked your WORLD son!
