Boring af?
" The last POE league was released five months ago (Settlers started on July 26th), with a possible new league maybe up to two months from now if POE 2 development doesn't take priority and delays it even more. A good portion of POE players don't go back to a league once they're done with it, nor do they play standard. They do however, play a lot when a new league with new content comes out. We didn't get a new POE league because of POE 2, yet players who might prefer POE over POE 2 constantly get told to go back to POE 1. Sure, had there been a recent league release, that might be a reasonable suggestion, but as things stand at the moment, it's almost like adding insult to injury. Some players who prefer POE 1 over POE 2 are only playing the latter because there hasn't been any new POE 1 content for five months now. Some of these players are obviously going to complain about what they don't enjoy in POE 2. Having had a new POE league ready for release for late November or early December would have gone a long way in ensuring that a larger percentage of the overall POE player-base would be having fun right now, while also maintaining continued goodwill. I understand there are logistical difficulties in developing two games simultaneously and unexpected problems and issues will arise, but from a purely financial perspective, wouldn't more happy players possibly mean more supporter pack sales? I'm guessing it was a calculated risk they were willing to take, but risking possibly alienating a portion of the player-base (that made the second game possible) seems a bit baffling to me. |
