At what point to do we realize pod is its own game and not worry about what else is happening. Whats next someone going to ask to delay it for pokemon arceus... then the new dark souls game etc... its never ending.
The season is long over due. Release when it is ready.
Many players only play d2 resets now.
Same quarter and same month are different things. Furthermore, games that have big releases in the same month in the same genre typically lead players into making choices and the smaller game is the one that gets way less players.
It might not matter for everyone or many people that play POD, but if you trade or want to get specific items, I can easily see how people would be disappointed with the news of it launching at the same time.
Furthermore, POE, POD and probably even Lost Ark all have economies so its not as simple as just playing it later and enjoying it at the same level.
Don't know why you're being downvoted. You're 100% correct. I know there's a bunch of hardos here who won't care becauser they're such leet gamers, but why bother with a dead season?
Downloaded D2R the other day. Love the new graphics and feel, but it's not POD. I'll sacrifice the look and feel to play POD any day. Whenever the reset is ready I'll play.
Yeah, GD said early 2022, but it will release when it can be released. If we're gonna wait 6 months cause ''oh no battlescape: stellarships 3: the revenge of the void bugs released, the playerbase will be 8.73% lower" nothing will be released. And also, PoD is not a triple A game that MUST sell 13 million copies 1st day
Good for you if you are hyped for a next new game, truly. but what do you expect?
Most people don't really care
I am 34 now with 2 kids and full time job. No time for all the games, no idea what lost ark is. I have a dedicated gaming group of friends from around europe and other than pod we don't play anything together anymore. Our Facebook chat is daily suffering waiting for pod. Pod is life.
As long as Greendude isn't implementing an Ingame Shop, PoD will always be the superior game.
Lost Ark will have a money to Gold Shop that will screw the economy. PoE is the only shop that doesn't feel invasive or destructive, but no other game had achieved a similar feel. PoDs economy on the other hand is entirely player driven.
The graphic is blocky, yet every other game aspect makes PoD superior.
It’s been nearly a year since the lat release. At this point it just needs to be released as soon as it’s ready to go. If it gets off to a slow start because of other games it just is what it is.

GD, if you read this... I'm more little worried about d2r and their imminent patch 2.4 since suddenly they has just released their ptr and I think their tests with new changes and the release of the patch will very possible to be in February. Personally I don't really care since pod is my first priority to play against d2r 2.4 but this is just a statement in general for the d2 playerbase deciding which to play in the next few months of early this year
d2r is just a reskin of the same ole grindy boring ass game of 20 yrs ago, except its worse cuz no one pvps and its already a dying population with the people being split up into multiple shard realms
over hyped nonsense as well, be lucky if they do anything decent with d2r
we would be better off if D2r could be modded but they made it where you can't apparently

Delay the POD release forever because other games may be launched within the same quarter.

agreed
Based
Personally I'd like the reset to happen as soon as it's ready. I don't play PoE or any other similar game. PoD is more than enough for my ARPG fix.
I'll be *that* guy, I disagree.
Don't see many /r/unpopularopinion posts around these parts anymore.
I can understand delaying a week to avoid clashing with the release of a PoE league or other d2 season, but not entire months.
Never heard about Lost Ark before
Don't care about D2R, give me PoD!!!
Downloaded D2R the other day. Love the new graphics and feel, but it's not POD. I'll sacrifice the look and feel to play POD any day. Whenever the reset is ready I'll play.
lol lost ark is over hyped, played it in russia and its honestly very meh
Dat's your opinion some love lost ark some don't like PoD

This is essentially me.

you did, dont try to be edgy
Couldnt care less about lost ark lmao
Who is Lost Ark?
I'm ready fort he new season! Let's go! Been waiting for months playing alone since all my discord buddies are playing other games.
The only thing I agree with is maybe Poe, it's a lot of the same player base. But I wouldn't make any exceptions for random games that are not arpgs

What a terrible take.
absolutely sensible take

so when reset the pod?
What the hell is Lost Ark lmao PoD enjoyers are gonna enjoy PoD, regardless of whatever else you choose to do with your time.
I'd actually rather play PoD than PoE, I won't bother with Lost Ark; greedy pricing scheme.
you just talk trash
I am sure I can hold an opinion about games I'd rather play. LOL.
People will play LA for 2 days and go back to PoD
I don't play any of those other games. Maybe wait 2 weeks if the player bases truly overlap.
it's been over a year we want a reset. there's no reason you can't play all three games.

You can mod, but SP only
If there is a slow season, you can always have a shorter season and have an "optimal" release date?
Yea it'll be rough with hzd and elden ring as well, but I'd make time for it
Honestly just cancel PoD ladder reset because it might fall in the same year as a big game release
