if you haven’t, you should really see how much coping is going on over there. “Oh, LE has lost thousands of players since the patch!” “It’s a boring vanilla ARPG!” “It’s too easy!”
They are the living embodiment of the meme with the dog sitting at the bar of a burning building saying “I’m fine with this.”
I wish players would stop with all the tribal behaviour on games. It’s not healthy to wish a game to fail or to rejoice if it’s not on top.
Players should just be glad they have options. Competition leads to better quality overall. And if they don’t like a game, just ignore it. There’s really no need for all this toxic behaviour (from all sides, tbh).
They never look how Steam community humiliated them. Tagging as Souls-like game while Steam identify PoE2 as adult games with 18+ content (lol)
I don’t think it’s tagged as 18+. It just has a mature content warning (like LE also does). But I don’t get an age verification when I try to see their store page, like I do when I check BG3, Batman: Arkham Knight, etc.
I did get the Steam message that it contains sexual and nudity to confirm viewing community page, which is kinda lol how it get in such identification
That’s strange, because I just checked and I don’t get that message for PoE2, even though I still get it for the other 2 I mentioned (and probably others, those were just near the top of the list).
As a sidenote, it’s annoying that steam keeps asking that. I’m already logged on, just memorize the friggin date already 
So, creating this topic and kinda doing the same thing but in reverse is better?
It’s ok… We all need some attention some times.
Would be nice if it was some cuddling, but, oh well… it’s just nerdy forums.
POE bad
poe2 forums are hard to read
Except for one difference. I’m not trashing on their game or experience. Pointing out that they’re doing specifically that is not the same. Pointing out that they’re coping hard by lashing out at LE is simply stating the obvious. Some people just don’t know how to coexist with friendly competition.
Having both games is great. It’s nice to have different games for different audiences.
Probably because of the trading — terrifying system which can cause nightmares (you can see in your dreams how transaction fails again and again) and, eventually, long-term damage to your psychics.
I think the point is that there’s a lot of unhappy people over in the PoE space vs a lot of happy people here with LE.
Makes sense, PoE2 is in a heavy state of flux at the moment and LE is maturing as a more finished product.
I think the cope is that PoE2 is not really meeting expectations so far and that was generally thought to be an easy win beforehand.
No, but you are having a go at them.
Why is pointing & laughing at them a cool thing to do?
Because they can’t just simply let other people move to games they enjoy. If anyone even hints that they don’t like the way POE 2 is going, they lay into them. They call the whiners and clueless as they go full Baghdad Bob acting like the game is perfect and everyone who doesn’t see that just doesn’t know what an ARPG is.
You’d have to buzz through the forums there to see it. I’m not pointing them out for nothing. Some of them are downright hostile.
To be fair, that happens in pretty much any game forum. Even LE had its fair share of posts and users like that.
Yeah…just don’t see EHG doing a game destroying patch, making thousands walk away, while the diehards called those who left names. Just doesn’t seem to be likely here. I know LE isn’t perfect, but the season 2 reviews are really good, and EHG gets a lot of praise for how they’re doing things.
In POE 2, I lost a lot of characters to 0.2. I wouldn’t even log them in, the nerfs were so bad. All that time wasted. I’m not afraid of that with LE.
To be fair again, that is how I felt about Blizzard for years, and yet here we are now.
LE is a young game, it’s still establishing itself, so what it’s doing is growing, rather than changing.
It’s when a game starts changing that this happens.
You actually can already see these signs with the mastery respec change and the heated response that generated between both sides.
