There are hundreds of thousands of people who are playing this game right now, and I highly doubt they would be doing it if it wasn't fun.

What about the other hundres of thousands of people ?

At release almost 600k players played this game on Steam. But with 0.2 patch, almost 200-220k players are playing right now. Also today is Sunday. Probably numbers will go down in 2-3 weeks.

Don't you think it means %60-70 of players already left the game because it's not fun ?

Just in one day PoE 2 got 1600+ reviews. 1250+ negatives, 400 positives.

Numbers never lie. I am also playing right now. But I am not enjoying. Just trying to find a way that I can "maybe" have some fun and find an okayish build. And lots of people there like me... We are being counted in those thousands of people.

And I don't have any words or complains about people who enjoy... I just say, most of the players left the game because it's not fun for them. That's it.

I love PoE. So I want PoE 2 to be a successful, fun game. Not a Souls cosplaying game.

that it... everything can be fix ...it just a matter of number

Seems like all the crybaby casuals are going wild for this one,

-increasing the game difficulty is a very nice change, and going slowly at it, is better
-good thing to filter out player base, these braindead kids who cant play games can fulfil their weakly souls with trash like diablo

-then, if you can successfully discourage most of the players, trade is going to be a huge problem, and market will suffer drastically. The most rare items will get rarer, non existing even, so there will be need for complete change of loot system.

-making the game more souls-like is the best possible future for poe2, but lot of other things will need changes

-but how come when most people dont want to play this anymore, servers cant hold up ? is it because china is still driving boats over all sea cables ??? ok I cant blame you for a world full of terrorists

But I will not say this wasn't the worst launch yet, because it is.
Game is really trash right now and its not because of the difficulty, and the new content is at the end one big meh of a miss.
And honesty, who the fuk thinks spears are interesting or cool??? Who raised you... what a shame.
If you refuse to have swords in your game, might as well add guns or cars, because you cant have RPG without swords. FFS cyberpunk had swords. Devs, please. Get a priest, and repent for your shortcomings.

I'm having a lot of fun with the huntress, thank you GGG, keep up the good work.

I just casual player but i dont know exactly what to think about this game right now.
To me its looks like no early access more like mid development access.

Hp of monsters are no a problem problem is they speed,atack speed and tankynest. When monster with mana drain aura lock you and you can only autoatack when every his shot give you insta kill is no fun.
fighting 5 minuts with white tanky mobs its no fun.
meat group of white monster who can insta kill you its no fun,
yea you can dogde but when they overrun you its done.
Fighting 15 and more minuts with boss when only reward will be move foward with act its no fun,/and here point about get better item no working bicous your drops are lock be zones and this trade system no thank you better will be grinding level one hour then trade here./
I buy this even for cuple off my friend but they dont wana play in this stage so i will struggle alone :D

I like challenge thats why i still playing i think its going good directions i dont want insta killing everything right away i must work to get on that point but idk its feel wierd.I no following build more explore myself.right naw just on ACt 2 .
I really feel like to be Hunted so they put name of this right.

No matter what you do, there's always gonna be ppl who love you, and ppl who hate you. It's a paradox in the freewill world, not everyone wants the same thing.

Appreciate the effort of balancing. I do notice that right before this league, lots of ppl left their high end gear in the stash untouched for 2 months, and that's also when the youtube was flooded with all the popular builds. I assume that was when the game experienced massive player loss due to reaching the ceiling. And clearly it's not what the developer wants. So you can tell why they tried so hard to slow down everything in this league.

Then you'd have another problem: instead of quickly getting high and quit, ppl quit now because of struggling. The human brain rewarding system is tricky, where is the sweet spot for the longest sustainability?

I think it's too soon to know the answer yet. And maybe there never will be one.

But that's the whole point, right?

GGG, have you really played this game? Is there anyone with any brains who could design it like this?

Every time same story...
I couldnt belive how good this game was when started, man, it was best thing i ever played as HUGE Rpg fan for more then 20 years...we had perfect game...
And then, Blizz effect took place, let take amazing game end destroy it so much that its unplayable...
So thx for amazing 4 months but this is disaster.
Is it money or what makes people to do this to players, i never understood...
From where comes need to simply destroy everything...
And cant do this to players, Rpg games you play for years, building your char to the best of your ability, alot of grinding, and then you come one day and destroy everything i worked for hundreds of hours, cmon....
If you lose alot players that is only normal for something like this....

Hard agree. Best ARPG ever made right up to 0.2. Gonna quit now and preserve the memory I have of the amazing gameplay prior to them torpedoing it with this update.
