This is objectively a false statement, the all time peak was 578k, the current players right now is 424k at 5:45 est. I’m a bit disappointed in the clickbait here, the game has had daily peaks above 400k everyday since release, even with marvel rivals also releasing the same day and seeing massive numbers.
@ it’s over 100k higher than the highest poe 1 league start ever. This is also only steam, it’s like 60/40 steam vs standalone client. + console players. I agree it might should be higher, but you lied when you said 50% and “everyone.”
Towelliee made good and useful comments over years... now it is basically clickbait without any data to back it up. Sunday he was talking about it was their all time high with 578k player. Even today there are 440k people online.
@@jfelton3583 OH ok i get it now. when you say "its not fun" meaning its too hard for you. The game is not hard at all, it just takes little thinking but that might be a bit much for you. Perhaps, Astroboy might be the game for you.
Absolute false information. The game peaked above 500K the second weekend and is consistently above 450K so far, not counting consoles where the game is on top 10 sellers.
Lamo, it just mean that at least 50% of the players are getting ready for their week of work. I barely play on week nights, but binge it friday night to sunday around 6-7pm
I almost stopped playing because of the respec cost. I messed up my monk and got him to lvl 74 as a complete glass cannon with like 30k dps on one skill, but he dies in 1 hit to so much stuff in tier 4+ maps and the respec cost is like a million gold. I started another character until they fix this because it just let's you ruin a character with almost no way to recover.
This is plain simply wrong. It peaked at 578,569 and have been steadily hitting 500k every day. That's of course for Steam only, not counting consoles or those who may be using the standalone client. Peak today, a Monday, was 514,588 on Steam. For a paid Early Access I wouldn't say this is bad. I would expect a full release when it's free and even more polished to hit far higher numbers.
Most games lose most of their players after day1 release. POE2 has actually been an outlier in how well its retained its playerbase. Especially for an early access game.
The steam charts which are public contradict everything Toweliee is saying, he's just lying for clickbait. I used to respect this guy when I was a kid.
Yeah I every game since you’ve been gaming I’m assuming the launch day for a big title is generally its biggest day by a lot, that’s been my experience since I was like 4 years old don’t know how people just aren’t aware of this by now lmfao
this game is great , and number of players is way more important than initially projected. What are you talking about … People are becoming too spoiled
Im a dad, i played hard on the weekend it was released but i cant wait to finish my responsibilities of the day to play more. 22 witch hardcore 18 mercenary hardcore 15 warrior hardcore 15 sorcerer hardcore. 3 deaths so far on my 7 toons treating this game like a slow burn. Hardcore doesnt let you blast without leaving yourself open to death. I anticipate at least 1000+ hours before I run out of stuff to do.
I'm in another country. There are legit people who have lives bro. Game ain't the MOST important thing in life. My lord. Goofy ass take. They made changes already lol
Boomer POE1 vet with no hands who can't progress tries to cope by lying about player pop. This may no longer be a game for you... but steamcharts is STILL showing population growth, reviews are mostly positive, third most played game on steam. This is a healthy launch by any metric. If you want POE1 go play POE1, it's still there. This game is already more popular than POE1 has EVER been. OFC they won't change it they have a winning formula.
There are a ton of people who have quit or are close to quitting but it doesnt matter to GGG because the game is already WAY more successful than anticipated so pretty much no matter how badly they F it up, there will be people who play it or even defend poor decisions
@Towelliee why did you post this? There are 300k players right now (more than half of all time at 730 EDT). Yesterday it had ~500k players on steam alone. Stop getting your news from reddit and twitter; the source is open to the public and takes only a few seconds. If you don't like it, go play something else or make videos about why you don't like it, but don't drum up a false narrative to create bullshit drama when there is none. Cmon man, you're old like me. We're supposed to be better
Game is way too much bugged tf out, ps5 version literally consumes all my ressources cause of the kicks and disconnects out of atlas maps and trials, errors and so on. They have a shitload to do atleast for consoles.
In all the years I've been a fan of you I genuinely think this may be the most out of left field take I've heard you had hahahah The people that are bitching on twitter are just late-D3 and early D4 babies who "don't want to take time to play the game" and just want to spam to max level with zero effort. It's a great game, balanced really well, and isn't just a faceroll. kinda like how early d3 was
There are lots of jobs which don't give you the weekend off and insted you get your day off any other day of the week... stop thinking the US is the whole world... it gets old and boring...
Suprisingly people have lives 😂 relax dude. Its great 👍. Only streamers etc have 24 hours a day to play it. I have time maybe for 3hrs a day... at a push 😅
Ah yes, glad to finally meet the basement dwellers who shout from the rooftops dead game day 2 😂 it sucks having to come to this part of the internet and share a passion together. Now I actually have to see the bs you spew
@Towelliee according to steamdb on the 7th the game peaked at 450k users. Yesterday (the 12th) the game peaked at 447k users. I mean, it isnt launch day anymore. But 3k people out of 450k wouldnt even be enough to be considered a standard deviation in a stats class. It isnt even 1%.
@@Towelliee say that to diablo devs XD 1st patch is out and already less than week .. the answer from diablo team is always ( we will keep eye and see what happens ) then one year later the issue fix come as new season feature .
Ain't no way. SLOG like slow? Man yes I am a streamer but in 20 Hours time I was done with Uber bosses. Pit 100+ 20 Hours in POE2 my ass was slogging to ACT II. And I am on higher end of players considering the whining POE players gave GGG
From what I currently see on Reddit, there isn’t much hate. However, there are quite extensive discussions pointing out the current issues players are experiencing. Judging by the number of comments and likes, it’s clear this isn’t just random complaining but something that genuinely discourages people. Feedback like this is necessary for the game to improve, especially during early access.
@Towelliee Of course i have i just dont do it in front of a bunch of people lmaoo. For example, at work ill go to the bathroom or somewhere alone because youll have people like me saying shit to you 😅
same people who say Game is ok and everything is Fine did the same with Last epoch when people complained about certain thing and instead oF Fixing the problems Game is simply dead now amazing how Slaves are these days lol poe2 is a Fail project give it a 1 month at max and it will not have any players iF they keep making the game misrebale at it is and btw this comming From person who played poe1 For so long time
Game is still half baked and yet it blows the competition out of the water low dif. I agree it still needs a lot of work put into it but calling it a failed project is insanity. Ppl seriously lack drama in their lifes smh.
It is is early access, only half the campaign is available along with half the classes. People played more to see how it’s going and will come back when they add new classes
steamdb doesn't even back this up, the numbers are steady and it's been at 450-500k since release.
Yeah he just wants views for this click bait on this
Yup.
Was coming to the comments to post this exact same thing lmao
200k rn lol
@@youngcracker9517 Okay and it's clear you're not looking at the right thing. 200K is the lowest, peak daily is still 400-500k.

@@TheLegitMillsit shouldn't be higher, this is PAID early access. If it was free i bet youd see it go 5-10x higher
@ yeah for sure, I retract that it should be higher. Rest of my point stands tho
@@TheLegitMills Words are words TH-cam thangs
This is such a terrible take 😂
I dont think he checked the steam chart at least. The game is so popular

Well this video didn't age well at all.
They did immediately fix stuff and the numbers went right back up lol.
Too many idiots are being given a platform lol
Dude I literally was out today with friends and haven't gotten the chance to play for two days. But I am more than pumped to come back at it.
It's sad I'm 31 and fiending to hop back on. Haven't felt this for a game in awhile.
It’s early access. I’m waiting for full release and probably around a million others are. Game is fine
Yes don't waste your money. It's not fun after a certain point
@@jfelton3583 Strongly disagree. Definitely worth the money! Already on my 2nd playthrough and can't put it down!

When you talk out of your ass and hope the sheep followers don't do any research:
Is this dishonesty or trying to be intentionally oblivious? Isn’t PoE2 having almost record breaking retention?
Record breaking within POE for sure. As it should be
This is plain simply wrong. It peaked at 578,569 and have been steadily hitting 500k every day. That's of course for Steam only, not counting consoles or those who may be using the standalone client. Peak today, a Monday, was 514,588 on Steam. For a paid Early Access I wouldn't say this is bad. I would expect a full release when it's free and even more polished to hit far higher numbers.
non sense, there's 517k players online now on a sunday and peak was 578k
Personally I wouldn’t want to play an early access version when it comes out I want it all in its former glory.
Most games lose most of their players after day1 release.
POE2 has actually been an outlier in how well its retained its playerbase. Especially for an early access game.
True
Why are they leaving though?
Yeah not true they’re massively changing and balancing regularly
People aren't leaving and they're making changes left and right. Nerf coming to trial of sekamahs
Nice the easier for the newer players the better
ALL games player base drop after day 1. Is this a joke?
The steam charts which are public contradict everything Toweliee is saying, he's just lying for clickbait. I used to respect this guy when I was a kid.
I would be playing it if it didn’t crash my pc every load screen 😵
again with farting numbers without checking , even by logic weekend is peak and midweek gonna be the no lifers
About to put out a second patch in a week GGG isn't Blizzard
TBF Blizzard hotfixes every other day
Nah im playing now for a week and cant stop playing it seriously good game
