你说的还是比较委婉的。。。看看 PC gaming本月7号的报道就知道。我感觉GGG的重心已经不在现在的赛季上了。
In June 2021, Path of Exile lost nearly 70% of its concurrent players in a month, the largest month-on-month drop in the game's history. Daily peak players have also fallen below 10k for the first time in 22 months.
Before I talk about the drop in playercount for PoE, its important to note that there is always a drop in players after a major expansion. However, the drop has never been quite this steep and it could be argued that this expansion has seen one of the worst player retention rates, ever.
In my opinion, there a several reasons for the particularly bad retention this season:
Streamer priority queue, this really pissed off a lot of long-term fans of the game. While ordinary players had to wait hours in the queue before being able to play on launch day, the GGG approved streamers were able to instantly skip the queue. While this did artificially improve view count, it definitely did not help GGG's PR with its long-term fans.
This season's league mechanic involved running around in a circle, randomly killing mob packs to receive escalating rewards. If you die, all rewards are reset. On any evasion based character with good aoe, it literally is that braindead. To make things worse, the rewards did not scale particularly well as you go into higher tier maps. For the first few weeks the most efficient farming start with this mechanic was to go into low-level zones, speed kill all the mobs while running in a circle and then reset the zone. Now repeat that as fast as you possibly can.
GGG always has a nerf first approach to balancing. Rather than adding more content to the end game (Post-T16 maps, for example), their approach seems to be nerfing all the top builds every league (with little to not buffs for weaker builds), so that an average player needs more time to reach the end game. GG also likes to nerf currency methods mid-league. I find it particularly disheartening when I grind 14 hours worth of currency to buy some watch stones for another farming method, only for that to be nerfed in a few days.
感觉GGG走远了,最早的GGG每个赛季都能出新的东西去吸引你,最近几个赛季了,一来就平衡,我不知道他在平衡什么。。。需要平衡什么的。 本帖最后于 2021-7-21 15:49 编辑
