Even if PoE fully supported players up to Kitava, one thing wouldn't change: PoE is a Grindy (Gear) Game. If you play casually, not knowing much about the game, you won't ever have enough resources to beat maps, even less so pinnacle bosses. I'm not saying they shouldn't, i'm saying that unless they gave more resources so new players could experiment to get more experience with the game, it wouldn't realistically change anything. And i'm sure this by design. Even if we took Steam numbers and even double it to account for non-Steam numbers, if 8-10% of people killed a Pinnacle boss, there's a very high chance they bought packs. A 10% buy rate for a free game with millions of players? That's not exactly bad numbers. And i'm not even accounting for people that buy it anyway. As for the 6th slot, that is very welcome. That's an extra Delirium free slot, adding an influence scarab, or more juice for strategies that have the ability to use the 6th sloth efficiently, Rogue Exiles, Strongboxes, Legion, etc, while also opening up for more strategies to be used since we can afford another slot. Now if they actually do adjust the scarabs to even out the juice... Let's just say i'm getting tired of underhanded buffs. Ruthless should be [Removed by Support].

If I had to guess maybe 1% of all players that try poe actually fight maven without a carry since selling the invite is worth more. I think they should have put the map device behind atziri/uber atziri. But who cares right. Most players don't get that far in the game. If I had to hazard another guess maybe 20% of a league players put in 200 maps and maybe 5% of a league fights all bosses farming their own invitation. Poe bosses are designed in a way where players are extremely punished for actually engaging with their mechanics. Attempts are expensive and rewards for killing a boss are statistically nonexistent. Most players would rather do like 3maps in the time it takes to kill a boss. |

" Concerned? Sure. That said, I think the core game is in a OK state - if we exclude T17 maps, at least from a gameplay perspective. Performance wise? Clearly not GGG's strong suit, and seeing as they haven't been able to really improve performance the last... 5 years, I'm starting to think it's impossible with the current infrastructure, at least for them. Leagues come and leagues go, so an underwhelming league here and there has always been the case. Being so progressive, that is bound to be the case going forward too. And what makes a league perform good; making sure that the core player base is happy and plays for longer than a week, or pulling in lots of "new players" that plays 2-3 hours a week? From a community that talks so much about player retention and not league launch numbers, I think we have the answer. Anyhow, there are changes that affects the early game too. Changes to item quality does. The bandit quest change also does, encouraging you to actually take one of the buffs instead of passive points, affecting your early game more. And the pick up range? Sure, it affects the endgame more, but is still nice - and should've been done a LONG time ago. And that is just the changes we know about. We'll see what the future brings. But to answer your question: Sure, they should focus on both the end game and the early game - and it seems like they are. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you. Last edited by Phrazz on Jul 14, 2024, 7:20:38 PM |

10 way is super easy. One extra slot will be interesting. Opens up for some way more broken strats though so I expect some scarab nerfs ruh roh. |

" Yeah, probably - but I'll view it as a much needed balance, as some scarabs are so much better than others. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you. |

I get the change, there are scarab sets with 5 scarabs so you need the extra slot to run a map with one of each so this makes sense. No other reason. just so you can use all scarabs of one type on a single map. |

" Is it possible that steam counts the map you open during the campaign as "opening a map?" That seems like the obvious answer to me. A 1.2% drop off from that point to beating A10 doesn't seem that hard to believe. |

" Eternal Eclipse - Kill both Lunaris and Solaris in the same encounter. -16,3% This is why data is inaccurate, it counts people who played/downloaded poe many years ago before 3.0, finished the game and were done. This is why comparing amount of people who ever touched the game in past 10 years, to newest bosses is pointless and illogical. This doesn’t show how how many people do it now. Ofc someone who finished game 7 years ago didin’t kill Maven - boss didin’t exist yet. Biggest compliments for my crafted items - "bs, they must have been RMT'ed" I'm disabled, I have rare case of semperduravera, so I can write things that may look rude, but it is because of disability - I'm forced to tell truth using words you may not like.

" I probably shouldn't respond to this, but in case there are people that dont actually know, you can actually just click on the Steam achievements in the game page menu and see the player wide statistics. It's takes 20 seconds to verify for yourself. Don't trust me, it's not necessary, the data is provided and accessibile. Now you can say you don't believe, or disagree with the numbers, which is a whole other conversation, but I didn't make anything up.
