Jonathan and Mark, don't fool yourself.

0.2 may have better CCU that holds for now, but it remains highly unhealthy. According to ninja, whooping 47.6% of most tenacious players are sitting on 1 class and probably 1 build of that class too.
If GGG executes their Vision once again and nerfs LS, this half will leave after a while. If not, and build parity remains as busted as usual, the other half will leave after a while. |

The biggest issue with this data is that poe1 has not had a new league.
The numbers don't mean a whole lot overall until there is some real competition in the arpg genre. I don't even know if last epoch has what it takes to really compete. A good poe1 league will be more telling. |

Could it really be that the most prolific White Knight of these forums during 0.10 has turned on GGG? If one were to go back to one of those threads where someone is complaining about exp-loss or lack of loot and crafting and showing Steam chart numbers of a falling player count, wouldn't one also find this very same OP arguing that player drop-offs are completely normal and not something to be concerned with?

" And ppl here like to forget that even the "look, the PoE2 steam numbers are better than PoE1 Steam numbers" is not telling much until 1.0.0 releases and has to compete with a PoE1 league because ppl who normally use the Chinese PoE Client have to use Steam for PoE2 atm, thus inflated numbers.

" It's different, literally. If you say "95% of the player base left because of EXP loss on death", I call you out for that because there is literally no proof to it, period. If you have data, stick to the data. That simple. But while I "white knighted" from your perspective, I already told you back then that you only see my "defending posts", I always criticized GGG where they should be. [Removed by Support]

" Ill be honest here. Elden ring is my favourite game of all time and im not excited for the new eldend ring at all. Very unlikely I will even play it to be honest. |

0.1 to 0.2 is going to be an obvious drop no matter how good or bad the game is.
You need to wait for 0.3 and further in order to be able to even start comparing retention and even then one could argue not until the game is actually 'finished', or at least has all the basic content added (classes/ascendancies/gems/weapon types/acts). As far as LE goes - personally I can't play that game past 1 week - it is too simplistic and repetitive. It is going to spike for sure once the patch drops and then nosedive as usual. |

" For sure, looking at the retention over a longer period of time, especially when the game is fully released, is way more telling. But we only have the numbers we have. Hell, you can't imagine how much I would like to get the full numbers from GGG. Hm, personally, I only stopped playing LE after a month because I cleared everything and only had stuff to min/max that would be comparable to "mirror tier" stuff and because I could go back to PoE1. I am not so sure about the same happening again this time. We will see. [Removed by Support]
