you have done what European and American game companies have never been able to do - single player online gaming.
The warmest customer service I’ve ever seen.
You are actually only one step away from success. At the same time, you are very close to being a flash in the pan.
Your problems.
at the moment, there is almost no substantial online game interaction other than the ability to see other players’ chat messages, such as trading, such as multiplayer in the same scene, like Warcraft where everyone piles into Storm City together to enjoy each other.
A lot of high quality and useless equipment appears in the newbie period, the game should be made more hierarchical progression. A lot of low quality equipment appears in the newbie period, allowing players to pursue low quality and high value. As players level up and gradually acquire high quality, the
The reason why poe is so popular is because its high quality does not appear easily, once it does it is bound to be very high quality and has a very high trade value, making the player’s heart beat faster. And this game generates a lot of useless high quality equipment in the newbie stage.
Diablo 4 is just around the corner and you must have a sense of crisis, because your weakness is Diablo 4’s strength.
This is really, really, really not why POE is popular. If anything, POE’s absolutely awful gear curve from drops is one of the top things that people complain about in the game.
Every game with Diablo-style loot generates a lot of useless equipment, at every stage. If this is a problem in LE, it is a problem with every game that has Diablo-style loot.
I’m not sure where the idea that anybody making an ARPG needs to scramble and start crapping themselves because D4 is coming out keeps coming from, but it’s tremendously unsound. D4 is not going to be the unending dominator you think it will. POE has been on top for more than a decade, and even it can’t even say it crushes its competition.
I am a LE vet as ive played a long time over periods. I have a ‘leveling’ loot filter, its really simple it highlights every item with any resist/life/movement speed, then I have a second section for that characters secondary gear ie ‘physical/cast speed/minion’ then I hide everything else
This means only worthy items show at all, then once I get to maybe 65-70 I load my end game filter where lots of items are filtered out, when my gear gets better again I tighted it up even more so less shit drops. I am at the point now even from the new MP from the weekend at level 94 I can go a whole monolith and no gear shows for me and thats fine
I think the biggest issue LE will face is the bland combat system and feel. I played every class there is now and even toyed arround with pet classes I realy hate generaly. There is nothing new and everything feels old, dated and not fluid… even the rogue that was a fresh of breath air in the clunky LE world got stale fast. LE for me is a side game project when I’m bored at best of right now.
This is not ment offensive but I simply miss the fludity other arpgs offer.
