Diablo Immortal is POE killer

I would guess my server only has around 2k people 60+ because I see the same names all the time, dungeons are mostly empty, world events are mostly empty, and the clan battles were mostly empty last week. The only thing that's crowded is the shadow assembly because you stand there for 5 minutes and get half a level of exp for free. Maybe 200k people made it to 60+ if my server is average?

The level gating is only going to make things worse over time. Most people are in Hell 1 and Hell 2 right now and it's near impossible to get a full group for a dungeon. In a month people will be split between Hell 1, Hell 2, and Hell 3 and it will be even worse.

The paragon catch-up mechanic doesn't really help that much. All that matters is the meaningless stat known as Combat Rating which you have to buy with real money, roll 3-stat legendaries as uncommon drops (soft limit of ~6 legendaries per day that are mostly 2-stat), kill a biweekly boss, or get carried once you hit the next paragon tier so you can actually play on the difficulty you're supposed to be at. Until you hit paragon 30 you're stuck in eternal mediocrity and more and more people will quit because there's no real reason to stick around.

False. Most players are in Ashwold Cemetery.

Most players you know are in Hell.

You missed the point entirely...

The simple fact is that 10 million+ people actually wanted to try it.
PoE gets MAX 200k, if that, also including bots, for a week every 3/4 months...

GGG has never gave us data about "downloads" of PoE.
Once again. Go learn the diffrence between dwonloads and CONCURRENT PLAYERS, then we can talk.

Cute...
Not sure what you're even arguing at this point. Or are you just trying to convince yourself?

We have a pretty good idea of how many people play PoE... along with 10 years of data, evidently showing minimal growth since 2018.

Currently *19, right behind wallpaper engine.

Weird that mathil managed to kill wave 30 sim with less than 5k life and a abyssus with a melee build and cheap gear.

Link to the data paper please. I tried multible times in the past to get the data out of interest but their isnt any. Steam only doesnt count because it only represents a small part of the picture.

Steam is 60% of the picture.
