How fast do you think the steamcharts number will drop?

The point of leagues was to fight this and they settled on 3months. So I would say 3month

5k under 2 months wasn't quite right isn't? This thread is nothing but a doom post made a week after release. It ok if you don't like the game, at least most of the tourists got it and moved on. This game is not for everyone and that's totally fine.

When the game first launch is usually when it has the biggest concurrent player, as well as the longest retention rate (because game is new).

Last Epoch, The first decendants all have very good launch Number & retention rate. The issue is, & this is the case with most live service & wannbe *sucide squad, is that in subsequent seasons, they are not able to retent the numbers or the retention rate.

In a few days, we will know the first post launch player return rate for a better perspective (not complete) of game health.

If it can retain 1/3 of launch number, I say the game is on a healthy track.

Right now, the general vibe of state of the game (of forum) is not overall positive, but the forum generally represent about 10% of active player base. The general gamers may like (or dislike) the game more compare to here, & it will ultimately determined the return rate.

We will have to see.

My prediction is that it will comfortably retain 1/3 of the launch numbers, but will not exceed 1/2. But its only a guess.

From the patch notes the game seems to aim to be even slower, so my guess is that the player count will drop real fast. in the end, majority of people dont want this in an arpg - i dont care about the 10 people that will say. "uh but i love it man, hurr durr".

I give patch 0.2 max 1 week . Game already on half playerbase from the release and with the recent fiasko on perfomance once again its gonna drop realy realy fast

they made the game too hard for the average person now. most of us poe vets will be ok but this feels terrible trying to get through acts

It'll rise for a week or two, then crash like a plane with no wings when people realize just how profoundly UNPLEASANT they have made a game that already sucked.

Fast. Real fast. That's my suspicion.

Watching my 401k crash and burn into the ground this week may actually have been more enjoyable than this update has been.

I'm ok with the nerf, but they went too far with this patch lol
