The new season sucks

I had a lot of fun. Started EQ Bear. Killed Abberoth over the weekend at 95 first try. Fun theme. Lots of cool new items. Not sure what you all are going on about.

These numbers are bad for LE. The level of Season 1 bad.

In perspective, the top games you’re talking about have a base playerbase that puts them up top. LE will not reach that. Live service ARPGs like LE, PoE and D4 peak at a new season and gradually loose players over the next month until they reach a base player number and then a new season drops again and the cycle starts again.
The problem is that LE - compared to the other big ARPGs - doesn’t loose players gradually but in a short period over a few days / weeks and settles at roughly 1000-3000. It’s lower than Grim Dawn even which has not seen an update for a long time.
Chris Wilson talked about it a few years back when the GGG studio and PoE1 was much smaller (20-30 people) that a healthy sustainable player foundation is 10’000.

They have already moved on for the most part. 4 days after patch release…

If 4 month seasons turn out to be this lackluster, full of design-flaws, boring, rushed, and buggy I’d be in favor of ditching the season-model altogether and move to yearly payed expansion / DLCs. That’s probably going to happen anyway now that Krafton is in the lead. Also I’d not get your hopes up for skill-sigils coming anytime soon. The focus will be on bringing LE to console.

Also Zizaran summarises it well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSEX0Uu7oNs

They are yes.

No they are not. Last season PoE players have been fed up and played something gifferent out of spite. We have arround the same player numbers in the summer, still in the window of vacation times (depending where you life) and the game pulls the same numbers as season 1 . Evryone who thought they pull of half the playercount from S2 is just delusional.

sad cuz bad ^___^
(…they are…)

I played falconer, prob the most cracked class ever conceived for minion enjoyers, the first two season starts and thought they were good. Falconer has nothing on EQ bear, lol. This was the best season starter I think I’ve ever played.

It has nothing to do with the amount of content. Its that it is borrrrrrrrrrrring.

Very clear why you could never make a good game.

It’s indeed very boring.

I’m over the game, there’s nothing really new in endgame. It’s just same stuff with some Dino’s now. Boring. Monolith is beyond getting old. The fact that there such a small incentive to hit higher corruption is really just stupid and annoying. It’s just a wasted mechanic.
