More people playing LE than Starfield...

[Trouser_Dune_Worm]

12k to 7k

A worthy competitor to LE eh, probably the only game they would beat in player count along with D4 or other generic/lazy titles.
Starfield is just Bethesda being lazy for what... more than a decade? It sounds like an insult for any decent game to be compared with that garbage, even in player count.
Probably some random game developed by a single dev is played more often than midfield.

i return that question to you,
everybody knows it is, but loud minority is simply oblivious to it, on lowest peak day it has more player than the record of poe

I would bet a lot of money that there is a huge number of people that are waiting for 1.0 to either start again or for the first time. You will see D4's number plummet and only see small bumps when new seasons start or when the over priced expansions release. D4 is in a bad place with LE releasing this month and POE2 on the horizon.

Blizzard has had 8 months to work on fixing all of the short comings and instead have focused on nerfing builds and making worse and worse seasonal mechanics. I honestly dont see D4 recovering unless the expansion really overhauls the game in a direction that respects players and not shareholders.

I'm still finding the lack of interest in this game on Youtube shocking. A handfull of videos are doing very well. But most of them are below the 10K viewer mark on the first page of search results. Why is that?
With 1 million copies sold and the hype being off the charts why is that?
The class picking guide and "you should play LE" are doing well but the rest.... Why?
And sorry, videos that use Diablo IV to bait views on LE content I do not count. Those are D4 views and we all know it. Or else putting D4 in the Thumbnail or title wouldn't be nescessary. But why?

Contrary, I am being bombarded with LE videos on YT page, because every single ARPG content creator is making videos about this game.
The issue is around %80 of them are talking about the game's potential, not its current state, and don't even mention its leaving early access in a faulty state. They literally can't because most haven't played this game before, so they have no idea about the missing story chapters, models and skills per class etc. The endgame is literally the same with what we had when this game first launched on Early Access, minus the boring dungeons, that was 5 years ago.

At this point, I hope the release just happens, so some of the people can actually realize they were overhyping a mediocre product. It has become mundane to see fans' usual defense of "early access" and "D4 is worse" arguments, most of them haven't even seen the endgame and have no idea what the game suffers from internally.

If I recall accurately, I completed Starfield in less than 70 hours, then played many hours for random stuff, explore and Steam achievements, honestly after some 100+ hours it was really hard to get myself to play, and has a surprisingly low replay value. I'd be more likely to replay thru Skyrim than playing Starfield again, unless the DLC later on will get insane good reviews/hype.

Picking up LE anytime seems a lot easier in comparison.

lol wth am i reading, d4 is currently king..... LE is rigged with bugs they had 4 years to fix and most bugs were added a year ago which still aint fixed, d4 numbers wont even looked affected at all, just look at the massive playerbase d4 has, while it didnt even change poe playerbase and d4 has 10-50x times more player than poe

What D4 player numbers are you actually talking about?
Because the only official numbers that exist are:
Diablo 4 Steam = 9500 players
And Twitch = 2700 viewers

Diablo 4 is as dead as it gets.

Smart move ignoring the Twitch viewer count there.

https://activeplayer.io/diablo-4/ has some numbers.

Estimates, but across all platforms everybody knows d4 has way more players... Denying that just makes you look clueless.

LE isnt even trying to compete with them, only PoE2 wants to try that - carefully.

Its not about winning the numbers, its about providing the best gaming experience.
And so far LE is not what you would call the best arpg experience.

Yes. But for now it's hyped up to be the third coming of Christ. The Second Coming of Christ was D4 but some people just got bored of it after 300 hours. What a waste of money.

Well, unless I want to do yet another run of my old standbys Grim Dawn or Diablo 3, it's either Diablo 4 or Last Epoch, and I know which one I prefer. I've made multiple attempts to get into Path of Exile, but the game is just too complex for casual play and its not nearly generous enough with respecs.
