Bale: Path of Exile on Twitch and Steam is booming-what makes the new league so good?

Action role-playing game Path of Exile's new Metamorphosis Alliance has been well received. Let's see why.

What is the deterioration? In the new alliance, you start hunting monsters. It sounds relatively small. However, you can collect the essence from every losing opponent. Finally, you combine these essences to create a unique leader opponent that must eventually be defeated. Related updates have also improved the balance of long-range weapons and added new equipment that affects almost all classes.

Judging in the current situation, the newest league may be handed a lot of praise. According to Steamcharts data, the typical number of active players in November was 12,077. With the start of the revolutionary expansion Metamorph, this number has risen to 17,792. The maximum quantity of simultaneous participants was 117,757, which's almost as high since the record of last December. At the same time, data demonstrate that the amount of players buying POE Currency on IGGM is gradually increasing, which indicates that the modern league has attracted many players.

It can also be seen on Twitch that with the advent of the new league, interest in Path of Exile has risen sharply. On December 14th and 15th, PoE had nearly 139,000 viewers, and it has become the most viewed game on the streaming platform.

What makes the new league particularly popular? Players are passionate about new game mechanics and can be used to create superior monsters. The possible combinations are very large, which makes each battle special. Also, balance adjustments are popular. Especially long-range fighters. Not only are remote games more fun, but loot or POE Chaos Orb are also better. Of course, this time also played a very stable role in the operation of the new league.

"I love this league more than ever," Rove Hamel said on the official forum. Although it hasn't appeared in the game yet, it's particularly attractive to most people: Grinding Gear Games announced the automatic Extraction function. This will automatically remove the essence of the monster. Metamorph did it right and made sure the Path of Exile is back on the path to success after a disappointing final league.
