The reason this game may die

Nice logout macro, lmao

PoE is growing and growing. It broke records in people playing. So yeah clearly dying.

Being the only choice for an online ARPG clearly has a lot to do with it.

They could forget that they're trying to be "old school".

I've never died so much in one league, I just died again 10min ago. But it's also the best league to date in terms of end game content.

I'm a relatively inexperienced player so I can't say I fully understood what happened in that video exactly, but the truth is I don't need to in order to see the hyperbole in the OP.

The issue will have accurred because of one or more (or a combination) of the following possibilities:

a) The streamer forgot/overlooked something, didn't understand something as well as he thought he did, or simply made a mistake somewhere along the way.

b) The streamer encountered a bug/glitch which did infact render every possible defense null and void on that occasion.

c) There are balance issues regarding specific content.

Like I said, I'm practically a beginner, yet I understand one thing perfectly clear: Grinding Gear Games make frequent updates to the game, regularly fix glitches and iron-out balance issues. That pretty much renders (b) and (c) mostly null and void: sure, as a game that's "forever in progress" those things will happen and keep on happening as a result of changes made and features that are introduced (it's practically impossible to avoid that), but particularly bad problems don't tend to stick around.

Issue (a) isn't even a problem per-se: no matter who you are, how much confidence and knowledge you have, we're all human and capable of making mistakes.

None of this in any way shape or form points to the death of the game, either now or in the future. If there ever happens to be a sharp decline in players, you can guarantee GGG will investigate why that is, and take steps to solve the problem before it becomes impossible to fix.

No matter what build you make all defences are useless, proof:

I keep telling that since one year at least

The only defence in this game is being able to instant kill monsters.

Then some noobs from SC who buy achievements hijacked the threads and tried arguing that the game is fine.

Every one duck new league mechanic, nice job ggg?

Failing to dodge a clearly telegraphed charge attack from Elreon is stupidity. it has nothing to do with defences. defences are not supposed to make you survive it. IT IS SUPPOSED TO KILL YOU.

The only things dieing here are your neuron's OP.

The only way to save poe:
Finally bring good Endless Endgame content.
Balance Hardcore.
And bring never ever a PoE Handy Game.

Ahh yes, the old "I died here therefore defense doesn't matter"

My only issues with syndacit is intervention because I cannot fight them on my terms and when I am doing a rippy t15 corrupted Zana map where I cannot die, getting ganked before I can finish the map is kinda bullshit, past that it's fine.

I guess people got coddled by D3 where once you get a regular set of tier armor you can stomp 99.9% of season content with little effort.

GGG's roadmap = 5 to 10years from 3.5 on

I'm pretty sure 5y will be completed, maybe even 10 but at a niche playerbase.

Game is nowhere near dead.
I think closest to shutdown would have been if there came no desync fix back then.
Worst aspect EVER that poe had to endure
