Just to counter the shills - PoE 2 has already lost half of its population in an year - 570k at launch, 290k on Friday. Mind you, this was a FREE weekend, so in reality this number is even less. Despite the huge "hype" surrounding the Druid the league had a worse start than the previous one, which was in the summer. Finally, the issues are not only with gameplay but also with performance, pretty horrible when you are trying to make free players pay.

I said it before, so many of the biggest POE2 defenders will gaslight people into saying the game is great, then they stop playing just as fast as POE1 players stop playing new leagues, despite poe1 being 13 years old.


They can't be enjoying the clunky combat and slow movement speed as much as they claim when POE2 has legit 15k daily peaks last week, the game isn't even a year old and its sub 20k daily peaks before league launch.

You can literally say the same thing about POE 1. They had a peak of 2k players lol wtf

Think the ops problem is really just this

As it is now, 12h into the new league, I am bored already. And I haven't even gotten a char out of Act 1.

They have trouble really understanding things at a fundamental level.

12 hours and not getting out of act 1 is not the games fault at this magnitude

13 years old.

No console push, no real controller support, no huge marketing campaign, no real new content in 15 months because POE2 leeched off most of the dev team.


The list goes on.



No one is saying don't make POE2, they are saying make Path of exile 2.



Right now they are trying some dark souls/diablo 4 hybrid and it's clear it isn't working, even people like yourself are starting to turn on the campaign as you begin to realise doing it every 3 months with no movement skills, no decent access to cooldown reduction, everything being gated behind cooldowns gets boring very fast.





If POE1 is so bad, why are the most popular builds every poe2 league the ones that play most like poe1 lol.

Not all. LA Deadeye is the most popular build by a long shot and why ? Because it blasts. People like smashing through monsters, it's quite simple really. Even the Elden ring is much more fast passed than the original Dark souls. People like efficiency and not to slog. Soulsborne games are hard but they are not a slog everything you do is rewarding in someway, bosses are mechanically difficult but not bullet sponges and that's what makes them special.

PoE2 is hardish (can be for a lot of builds esp melee) and a slog so where is the fun ? This game is a chore simulator.

How is that an odd comparison?


Because it's a point you have no decent reply to, so you want to dismiss it as "odd".



Objectively speaking, the most popular play style in POE2 are builds that play more like POE1 builds, and less like the vision of how Jonathan and co want us to play POE2.

He just dismissed it as odd because he realised the truth when he read it. It's objective fact that people will still funnel towards POE1 type builds because its natural for players to want to get stronger, faster and accumulate more wealth, and you don't do that playing dark souls lite.

+1 this league sucks

DS has a pattern, base is usually easy and acessible for all, DlCs arent, a lot of 'bullet sponges' on DLCs.

This league mechanic is not to my liking and I just bricked my character, shortest league ever, #### bloodmage...


At least performance improved, and crashes spiked into a new high since release. It shouldve been delayed or 3eleased on a tuesday so they had hands on office for hotfixes.

Very odd counter-argument.
