why PoE is dying

Maybe it will suck, maybe it not be as good as advertised, but it will live longer and have more players than POE ever had in any league launch...

I give D4 a year at best before it gets the "D3 RoS simplyfy and water down"treatment so it will hardly last as long as Poe lol.
If it doesn't die out due to some pay features before that time. ( Bliz got ya all covered!)

But not like the game can get any more simplified as it already is anyways heh

Quite a shame that even the watered down version of lost ark has more to offer than D4

They said the same about d3 and people still played it....

Sure, even now people still play it.
But it's hardly close to the same amount of players as it was during the release and before RoS changes hit in. D4 is very likely going to experience the same thing. High player count during the first weeks, months, seasons and less and less after some time.

Bliz remaining passion for games goes into WoW, but even that game runs on the bare minimum maintain mode since the last few expansions.

Thanks for the link, bro! =^[.]^=

an overcomplicated game like poe does not make it any superior to other games of the same genre because others have simplified stuff like talent tree etc

i gave a good try to poe in the last weeks, i played a ton, found a build i liked but then realised how bad it is

got my first eater of world invitation, on the flow phase i think, i had no idea where to go and killed the invitation because i kept dying

its not fun, its just frustrating, so i guess ill take a break and find another game to play

Perhaps ggg should.... put the information necessary to play the game....

In the game.

Dems fighting words! Youse are supposed to have three websites open so you can figure out what to do!

I've said the same for years, and there's always a freaking whiteknight who defends GGG and says "Well, there's a tutorial" (it's terrible) or "If you can't figure out how to play and it's too frustrating then the game isn't for you."

Thing is, the game *could* be for a lot more players, if they just had more information and maybe the first few Acts weren't Tier 16 map difficulty with respect to relative player power.

FFS. you can't even regen flasks anymore on Brutus. Why??? AFAIK, (and someone can correct me if I'm wrong), that's the only boss fight in the game where you can't, at least in all the campaign and maps.

Death Recap

POE has been dying for well over 10 years now according to these forums.

Yet the players numbers, GGG's offices, Staff, MTX Sales, and revenue grow each and every quarter year after year. Not to mention their Gearing up for it's massive sequel/expansion to the main game.

Yeap I can totally see the servers being shut down any day now that you mention it...
