They're on holiday and the playerbase needs time to catch up to the rest of us who've been saying Endgame has some serious problems so they can give feedback too. Too soon to say the game is doomed.


Who said the game is doomed?

I'm saying people are leaving an masse, and there are several huge, glaring issues that needs attention.
Sadly GGG cached in their presale cash and went on holiday with a deeply flawed game driving people away in droves.

They should have given this another 6 months in development, or at the very least waited till after new years with the release so they could actual follow up the player base.
A closed beta for another 6 months while developing would have been a much smarter decision, but I fear money was more important than quality for GGG after the sale.

Maybe you didn't realize but my metrics was for the first two weeks, didn't include Christmas AT ALL.


I checked :



Your case is dismissed .


Dismissed?

Are you blind? 150k left first two weeks.
Another 50+ this week even though it is holidays where playing time generally goes up by a lot?

How on earth is the case "dismissed"? Are you not aware of how graphs and numbers work?
Back to school here, Ashyev.

Oh I can't wait for a big chunk of the playerbase to get to maps and see the endgame. It's gonna be more entertaining to watch than new years fireworks.

You should be deeply ashamed of such statements, and think about what they can do to a lonely person. There are many of them, and they do not deserve this.

Also, you clearly are clueless about metrics, stats and trajectories.
Times matter. The drop off coming after 2 weeks is a world of difference from the drop after 2 months.
That means one of the games has players completing the content, the other one people are leaving because it is not enjoyable.
Guess which category POE2 falls into?

How about YOU go play POE1 ruthless mode? You have no more right to dictate what I find fun and engaging than I do you.

You should contemplate how you engage with others, and how you behave. Shameful, disgusting stuff.



Than go out and meet some people instead of calling the devs "disrespectful" because they spend 1-2 weeks with family and friends during christmas time.

You're the only one here who should be ashamed to not give the devs 1-2 weeks of rest. [Removed by Support]

And why should I play ruthles in POE1 if YOU don't like the approach that POE2 went?

Me and many others love the game and that the playerbase drops is completely normal, esp during holidays.

Did you also count the playerbase on consoles & the standalone client?

And did u ask every single one who left why they don't play atm?

Play the game or leave it [Removed by Support]

A lot of palyers don't even want to play endgame. Imagine that. They play a 35ish hours campaign and then they consider the game finished. That is totally normal consumer behavior. Grinding the endgame is not everybodys intentention in the first place, although some players, that want the campaign removed for the second char and so on, act liek it...

Check other games, most of them have the same graph. Is Dota 2 dying because they dropped 100k players on Christmas Eve? The numbers are going up again.

And show me 1 game pls that didn't drop in playerbase....You cry here for nothing.

Game is amazing and the difficulty perfect, you're simply to weak and want to "finisih" all content within 1 week with crappy gear.

Go play Diablo 4 if you want a game with 0 challange and appalud yourself while 1 hitting all content without taking any damage. ;)

Maybe it’s time to turn the page on a new year with this revelation and take MJ’s man in the mirror to heart, as you and several other +1ers been up since ,and … over 12 hours since, Santa delivered presents whining about a video game.


No one is this invested into this game, not even people who are paid to make it, streamers who play this for a living, no one really except you few forum warriors.

So the suggestion is to breathe and maybe take a break.

It’s Christmas Day after all 🎄🎄🎄

If you are already crying foul when you gets some reality check by others while being quite antagonizing yourself , i am going to strongly suggest you pipe it down with me because i will bring a level of heat on your ass you will not able to handle .

It was dumb of them to release this holiday season when it needs so much work. Don't give me " its christmas they are with their families" crap. They decided to release a busted game and then were prepared to go radio silent for upwards of a month +. Its not a good look. They had plenty of time before christmas to reassure people; but they chose to say nothing.

For some reason the felt obligated to release with well before it was even ready for early access.
