From 500k to 100k. In two months.

That's a 80% decrease in population. Devastating.

GGG has been casualizing the game the entire time and the population STILL dropped to this record low. What in the world is going on? Casuals should be loving this game.

[RonaldWreckDonald]

ppl here saying the game is bad are delusional. I myself stopped playing for now after binging almost 300 hours. Everyone is tired at some point but it was way worth it for 30 bucks. You cant just expect that the launch numbers stay the same. It will have peaks and lower numbers lmao..

0 new content for an early access game, 0 balance patches, 0 nothing. What do you expect, there is no reason to play.

True ++++

[DeathRow]

Why would you keep playing an unfinished game? Im coming back when the game is actually released

[AFC_HIGHBURY]

Oh no, an unfinished EA ARPG has lost players, it's as if people stop playing untill more content/league is added, how could this happen.

Pretty much normal for any game that just released into early access.. usually happens a lot faster tho.. people burn through what content there is pretty fast when games first come into EA but I guess with this one there was a decent amount of content and a lot of fun so people have stuck around..

There is nothing devastating about this it is totally normal..

But yeah the fact its still bumping into the Steam top 10 most nights goes to show how good the game actually is.

There has been balance patches though. Also zero nothing is actually some thing.

Content will come slowly during the year or so of early access they are not going to release it all right away.. if you are after a finished game wait for it to come out of early access.

There has been balance patches as well as other general bug fixes and improvements..

But yeah no idea what 0 nothing is..

[KILLERMAN69]

it's a half-baked game, needs a lot of time, people will return with major patches. There is literally nothing to do in game, builds are boring, classes and weapons are limited, uniques are dogwater, there is literally no reason to play any other build than broken OP builds. All in all it's just boring right now. I stopped playing 2 weeks ago, I'll return with the major patch, most people feel the same probably.

1. this game is still under heavy development
   
   
2. this game is yet a shell so far, especially endgame content, a "TECH DEMO" if you like
   
   
3. this game is yet in version 0.1x with LIMITED CONTENT, it is an "OPEN ALPHA"
   
   
4. PoE2 is yet an "ALPHA TESTING CLIENT" and has not even reached BETA state
   
   
5. version 0.2.x (major update) will arrive soon as they just announced it here:

6. this game will NEITHER be finished soon, NOR will it hit version 1.0 (full release) soon
   
   
7. many people do a break until new content and/or balance changes arrive, then to continue to TEST, give feedback, suggestions and to report bugs, issues and crashes
   
   
8. while this PoE2 TESTING CLIENT is still pretty much limited so far, there are still other games around to playtest .. or even to play .. until more content hits for PoE2
   
   
9. PoE2 and its current EARLY ACCESS "PLAYTEST" LEAGUE is senseless to continue to play on (to whatever max level) as this league will be vanished, locked or more likely to be FULLY ISOLATED upon full release v1.0 or even earlier anyways ...
   
   everyone needs to begin from fresh sooner or later .. and even for multiple times whenever "SEASONS" and special events are added into this game !!
   
   
10. do you really think current PoE2 version 0.1x client is a finished game and you wonder why people do a break ?!
    
    
11. Steam Charts shows only numbers of PoE2 on Steam, the real party goes on their official website and forums and on their own PoE2 (GGG) Launcher
    
    
12. YOU help on their development and development path by contributing constructive feedback .. at their own PoE2 Early Access Forums

[GirthQQuakes]

Seems pretty normal to me.

Are you new to gaming or something?

[Succulent Green]

its boring as hell, lots of better things to do than grind this rubbish.

once the hype wears off fully will probably fall back to its 45K user base that been playing since poe1 beta and jump to 250k every new season.

doubt they pulled in to many new long-term users.

[Javaris]

I wanted to play warrior, i played warrior 200h one character. Warrior bad
All my friends have multiple characters ( non warrior ) and level up much faster,ease and higher survival. Me and Jolly ( warriors ) stopped playing game until its fixed. To many issues with warrior (Mace)

[khaall]

bien fait pour leur gueule, leur endgame est imbuvable. lost Xp, drop keystone au ras des pâquerettes, je regarde les patchs qui sortent pour voir si des corrections a ce sujet mais non ca corrige des bugs mineurs.... je boycott ce jeu j'ai perdu 30 balles dans votre purge....

When you compare poe2 numbers with its "competitors" Diablo iV poe1 Last Epoch it is still blowing there numbers out of the water.
