PoE 2 has lost over 80% of its players in 3 months.
The ratio of active players to seasonal peak players is officially worse for POE 2 compared to POE 1, based on publicly available data.
As of today, POE 1 currently has about 14% of their peak players still playing on steam.(32,720 out of 228,398). POE 2 has only 8% of their peak steam players remaining (47,413 out of 578,562). I fear that their egos clinging to their friction-heavy endgame philosophy (& the sycophants who condescend to the wider player base to defend it) are going to squander a great opportunity. We'll see what the next season looks like with returning players and the following dropoff rate. Последняя редакция: SpankyKong#9805. Время: 8 мар. 2025 г., 21:01:34

I kept checking in, wether they got rid of the death penalty. Today I wanted to uninstall, so one last check. So long, the campaign was fun though but your layers of punishment for dying to bugs, are a waste of my time.

" poe2 will always be more popular than poe1. Always. In the future there will only be one game and it is not poe1. Is that so hard to accept? |

" Those are not bugs. They are design decisions. Looks like GGG just found out that 75% of their game sucks. But thanks to poe1 not forcing you to play any of it. You could stay in your 25% bubble and be happy with it. Now you are being forced to play it. and yup 75% of the game sucks. Now add to that that before you had 6 attempts you could see it as giving the player 6 tries to complete the task. but it is really. 6 tries for GGG to not resort to cheap one shot unbalanced crap. now they only have one. When you could just mumble "fix your $%$@$^% game" and go again. Now you are just stuck knowing... game is broken.. and logout Последняя редакция: Jitter912#4278. Время: 9 мар. 2025 г., 05:22:13

" I stopped playing when I found out there was an XP penalty. I regret buying it. POE2 is just a prettier reboot of POE1 made for its own little bubble. It will never have as many players as its competitor. Stuck in the past with outdated ideas. There are few who like to waste time for nothing. |

It was as low as 26k players this morning. Almost 10k less than last week. The biggest problem is that they don't seem to read this forum, because poeple does not care about the next patch. If the core of some mechanics does not change, players won't come back or they play 1 week and leave again.
They act like a company being bankrupt that don't know why no one does business with them while they have 1 star reviews because they botch everything. Yes, the reviews are mostly positive on steam, but keep in mind that most of these reviews have less than 10 hours of play time. |

The POE2 TRADE Site is empty too...
The same 999 Divines trash selling over weeks now... People left,the market is now ruined with overpriced shit... For simple stupid Items, these greeds charge min 1 Div up to 666 Div.. i dont think POE2 will come back... Best time were 2-3 weeks after release then it got worse and worse. |
