From 148k to 66k in two weeks

its dropping exile!

I can't play this game because of the unending performance issues. If there is a league I like, I get 12 achievements and quit. Not to mention leagues are make up on a pig at this point. The worst thing is PoE2 won't be much different than this. Just more acts and some QoL updates. The rest is PR and marketing.

unnerf support gems

It's just going downhill

Offtopic but you can try this fix.

It will probably not work but in my case (Ryzen 5 1600, 32GB ram,GTX 1050TI 4GB Vram, Vulcan renderer) it reduced the stutters when assets ,like league mechanics, are loaded on average.

I am pretty sure this league is doing better than the last one numbers wise (although the real metric, revenue from MTX, is something we cannot check), so they clearly moved in the right direction in the eyes of their playerbasae. You should also consider the, how I would call it, "afteshock" of the last league that has clearly affected this one playercount wise.

People were hyped for the new atlas and armor changes, and quit after realizing how ridiculously lame the league mechanic is. 99.9% chance the corruption you get will come with a drawback so bad it's not worth it.

There is no way they play their own game. No way.

Yes as mentioned in OP. The league weekend numbers are pretty solid but the downward swing is bigger than usual.

Makes sense when you think about it.


Majority of people, that actually play the game, is by now in yellow/red maps and have formed an opinion in regards of base game changes and league mechanics.

Idk if its the changes to base game, league mechanic or both.
But me personally thinks the main motivation in a league are its rewards and these seem not that good in relation to time investement (baking the krangler and league drops) and results.

Why not just scrap the SSF option because it's a self constricting trap?

No one forces you to play SSF. IF you dont like it, then dont play it. It was added for people who like extra challenge.

Extra challenge as in no parties and trade? Public games are either beggars or not going the same tempo. That's not a challenge. I'm a arpg fan at heart, but ever since D3 introduced inferno MMMXXXX difficultie or whatever just to blink around so fast the sound starts to cut off or else you just die in the spot. Who are these people forcing obscene game mechanics and keep calling it not challenging enough because that gets them secretly hard.
