I’m not being dishonest, If you look at the posts… Outside PorkchopMcgee being annoying AF, A huge portion of the posters stopped posting issues. I was just simply pointing out a possible solution. With the analytics showing the amount of people playing (maybe not without issue, including myself) and the people having issue (which refuse to try the workarounds, not including myself). I was hoping that maybe a suggestion might help someone. Which you are clearly not open to, Discolnferno.
Besides, IMO the reviews are mostly people trolling because they hate life and can never be happy so they try to make it that way for everyone else. My in game experience says otherwise. Good luck with your endeavors.
Well to me it is very normal.
There were so many great games which had major server issues with the high quantity of players. And that’s not always something they can stresstest that well beforehand…
I mean that’s what I’m doing… I just bought Helldivers 2, not because it’s a great game but at least it’s something playable. If I enjoy it enough to get me to the next POE drop, I’ll be done with LE until cycle 2… and if cycle 2 drops around POE 2 beta… I’ll likely have no intentions on playing it for the rest of the year…
And this is my entire point… if enough people lose interest right now, with the projected state of the 2024 ARPG market, Cycle 1 will be dead, and cycle 2 will likely not garner any “mainstream” interest… and with no mainstream interest, content creators will leave, their audiences will leave, and the player numbers will just dwindle more and more… Nobody wants to play an online multi-player game that nobody else cares about… no matter how good the base game is… that’s simply fact.
Brother in christ, this is 200k players, not 2M This isnt a new wow expansion… And they had 1M sales in advance. So its like 20-25% of that number CCU.
Ihr werbt mit einer Millionen verkaufter Kopien und seit Release können nicht mal 250k Leute gleichzeitig spielen. Der Release ist 5 Tage her. Das ist ein absolutes Armutszeugnis. Ja, das Game ist super, vielleicht das beste H&S welches es jemals gab. Aber alles drum herum, wirkt unprofessionell, als wärt ihr eine Truppe voller Stümper. Das ist massiv schade!
Wenn ihr nicht klar kommt, holt euch bitte Hilfe. Ihr habe mehr als eine Million Kopien verkauft und eine der reichsten und menschenfeindlichsten Firmen der Welt im Nacken.
ARPGs are in an entirely different boat than other games… If PoE has bad servers for 2 days at league start, the player counts drop by an astronomical number for the entire league… They’re able to recover by the next league due to a lack of competition… with POE 2 coming mid year and GGG planning to alternate POE 1 leagues with POE 2 leagues going forward… this was legitimately LE’s only chance to solidify their spot in the market… If the issues continue through the upcoming week, the game may very realistically never recover.
At least the communication is good guys, what a nice company…
