Ouch.

But really this league couldn't sustain my interest, nor were the challenge rewards very well conceived.

However I'm willing to concede that I might be near the end of my PoE lifespan. It's been a good run, but after all these years, I just cant anymore really.

Path of exile is a great game and this incursion league is great. There is however one major thing which is screwing up the game, and even has me worried: The requirement and focus towards having a meta build for the strictly timed incursions. This excludes many many fun builds from competing in the league's mechanics. Though I'm not a casual, I too felt the pain as I felt forced into the meta build gameplay.

As a casual, which are most steam players, I can understand not even wanting to play this league. Hell, I even stopped playing this league because I did not like playing the meta game and I'm nowhere near a casual.

As someone who loves PoE, this meta focus has me worried.

As far as the challenge stats, in general, they make me sad. Most players want to have fun and feel like they're progressing. When your challenges are so unbelievably skewed towards the top % of players that most players just give up it doesn't bode well for the game's long term health. Just looking at steam's daily numbers there's a 80-90% dropoff since the league started. That's even a bigger dropoff than bestiary. At the beginning of the league I tried to bring this up and was laughed at because I didn't want to play a FOTM speed clear build. My 6k hp, 90% phys red jugg was instantly dying in T6 incursions but I could face tank all of the guardians. This just made it so that I stopped wasting my time on them. I've been playing since 2013 and finally getting a mirror and a headhunters are the only reasons I even play any more. I would think that a company getting bought by a larger investor would have an eye towards making profits rather than catering to streamers and players that can dump 16 hours a day into the game.

GGG please,Make the prizes more enjoyable...

Better make them slightly easier to reach I think. Am I the only one that think it is discouraging for semi casual players (less than 10 hours a day lol) that you can't even get 12 challenges without reaching end game? Even some of the more random challenges generaly require the map device.

DOPE!!! in the top 5% of players in challenges completed this league. Just cool to know where exactly you can stand in the league. Granted some of it was some RNG but there are ways around manipulating the game to better your odds. Just gotta keep at it. Love the feel of the leagues on here. Just got into POE a few months ago and really clicked with the game. I would like to receive more microtransactions like even just incorporating a once a week thing where you give us a free pick-a-bag box for having certain tasks for the week completed. Just throwing that idea out there.

I also do not play through steam. I play through my computer software directly, I don't like having a third party handle my games information. Was really big into Diablo back in the day. but it got super dry for me. This game was such a refreshing change of pace including all of the Lovecraftian-esque details that are added to the story. (the elder is an elder one...)

Just some fruit for thought GGG. :)

Can we exclude some Chamber farmer and then see?

What about them? A snapshot of Steam players at some unknown time. I use a standalone client but I went to the Steam page just now:



16k Steam users are online in a league that's mostly dead. And an unknown number of non-Steam users. Is that supposed to mean something good or bad?

IMHO every statistic posted by GGG since is a vague diversion...

Thank you. Interesting statistics!

P.S.
Quantity% on gear is real cancer.

Just look at all this MF gear.
