Numbers





Diablo 3 had 2,1mil daily players on average in 2013, that’s not even the peak. (Source: https://www.pcgamesn.com/diablo/145-million-people-have-played-diablo-3-average-193-hours)

Let’s just assume that average is also the peak. How much % is 16k of 2,1mil? Go figure.

D3 died quick and hard, so will D4 most likely. Poe holding 5-10% of it‘s peak players after 10 years is not a weakness, it‘s strong. But I don‘t except you to understand it at this point.

Im not sure you understand. I have absolutely no problem with poe im simply demonstrating to you that poe is not competition to diablo and cannot 'kill diablo' as some of you think and you would have to be seriously deluded to think so.

Diablo is killing itself it doesn't need Poe for that.

What is your ideal end game?

Your not into pvp right?

I'm in to pvp if it works. I've always said I don't really care too much about some super creative end game..... What keeps people interested in these games is interesting items and interesting skill interactions. Unique items should actually be unique. They should do something on your character that no other item does kind of like how exotic guns work in destiny. Each one is completely different. The fact that once you reach 100 you can't do anything at all is garbage. You can't even look for items for an alt character which is pretty much a staple in pretty much every single arpg and is vital for replayability. It's like finding a griffon eye as a Necro in d2..... Suddenly you're more inclined to make a light character.... There is zero of that in d4

Agree to disagree on this. My reasoning is that nowadays most casual players pick their game by either someone they know play or watch content creators then get convinced to play. As Diablo 4 die, content creators will be moving on to something else. When PoE will gain traction as the content creators move to a new D4 alternative, the casual players will follow their favorite youtubers or twitch streamers. In the long run, I see PoE being a strong competitor to Diablo 4 as they will take a major chunk of player base over time. It might not happen on the new PoE season but most likely PoE 2 will have more traction.

I'm super interested into how to big drama show will turn out.
For my part, D4 is uninstalled as I am getting excited for the new game release in the upcoming months.
