After just one week poe2 has more players on steam then LE does

The truth is LE is not all that either.
Endless waves of trash and zero challenge in maps is not nice either.

The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle.

One big difference on concurrent player base is that Path of Exile does not have an auto kick for being afk. Wonder how many of the "active" players are just afk in their hideout.

I did try LE for 88 minutes and sent for a refund from valve(steam). It just was not challenging at all and I didn't get the appeal.

All I know is that both games are apparently inferior to Bongo Cat

Still haven't got there myself, but AFAIK LE can be harder than PoE since you can keep stacking Corruption indefinitely up to a point where you reach a practical limit and you become unable to progress further.

Also, in the arena you test out how strong your build is in killing stuff and surviving until you die.

Game is very easy until it isn't...

If you keep pushing, Last Epoch easily surpasses Path of Exile in difficulty.

Its a difficulty slider that you give the player control over. Might as well be d4's pit. [Removed by Support]

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Your argument is that it's a bad thing the player can decide how far they want to push the difficulty?

In all honesty, Path of Exile is just as easy as LE.

PoE only starts to get remotely difficult in T15+ and T16+ juiced maps.

LE starts to get hard when you start to stack corruption.

In the end: tomayto tomatho...

People are rightfully mad at GGG for some dumb decisions and design philosophy, nerfing things that didn't need to be nerfed, basically breaking their own game that they worked so hard on. Its frustrating that they don't listen to so much of the feedback and "shoot from the hip" so often, and people thought they would stick it to them with this massive bluff of switching to Last Epoch. Too bad the game sucks. When POE2 is hashed out and balanced it will be a powerhouse. who knows when that will be though.

Just as easy, are you kidding? You can effortlessly walk through the entire campaign in 3 hours without dying a single time. End game isnt hard until you decide its going to be.

They literally had to nerf the entire campaign because of the amount of casuals that couldnt handle it. Even post nerfs to the campaign it is much more difficult than LE is.

Once again poe2 is beating LE.

No. All content should not be able to be cleared by all players.

The game is not going to die because you cannot figure out how to get a div to drop.

The game is not going to die because you cannot get your 4th ascendancy

Those numbers mean nothing. Absolutely nothing. If that is all you have to keep telling yourself whatever you keep telling yourself: Go ahead.

Just stop spamming the *feedback* forum with meaningless thread after meaningless thread. You are just a child throwing a tantrum because you are afraid someone might take your toy away, while other people actually try to make better toys.

If the game is ever going to die, it's because of people like you, advocating for stagnation.
