Can we please have Like/Dislike (+/-) buttons under every comment in comment section and a sorting based on it?
The constructive critics are lost in the forrest of disappointment.

This would be nice on official forum posts too, like this "What we're working on". Put a Like/Dislike icon at the end of every planned changes, and see if its wanted. Not worth developing something thats opposed by the majority of the current players, unless you wanna make a new playerbase, that has Mr. Wilson preferences.

POE was doing fine 2-3 leages ago, before the hardmode changes the game currently headed to.

Some suggestions for changes:

Spoiler

Archnemesis:
- When mixing multiple mods pick the highest value from each mod type (dmg, hp, etc.), don't stack them, plus a small multiplyer based on map tier.

Harvest:
- Give each monster a fix amount of life essence based on its type/tier (essenceBaseAmount x Tier) plus a fix multiplier (1.1-2.6x or something) based on map tier.

Loot:
- Make items drop on maps based on relevance more.
Act 1 items and currency on T16 monsters are not really needed.
Increase drop of relevant craft materials with map tier by a bit, and decrease the chance of getting not-relevant ones (transmute, armor scrap, scrolls) nobody wants to pick up.
Same for items, make specific basetypes and uniqes drop on specific map tiers.

(You could check relevance based on what people get from expedition NPC-s, rituals)

Reddit shows that a rating based system is extremly toxic. It just leads to a circle jerk. Every opinion that is outside the norm of the people who arrive first (the outrage mob for example) gets downvoted immediately and probably lost for most people who come after because most of them will only read the top comments.

Also, it's an absolute minority posting on these forums, not a majority...

Most people who are interested in the changes probably interacts with this site, at least by reading the change notes.
Its fine if the majority doesn't want to comment here, but its nice if players can log in and press a +/- next to the upcomming changes to tell GGG how popular it is. That can help the development.
There will always be negativity and toxicity, but GGG can tell how many people read the post and how many of them thought it was a bad idea. (viewed by logged in users count / dislikes). They can also compare it with the overall playercount, to see if its relevant to make changes.
After this they only need to promote this option somehow - on leage launch for example - to get people to use it.
Poeple who care can log in at least once every 3 month (or GGG could make this an in-game changelog too, so they don't have to log in here) to help improving the game.

Dislike on every comment is indeed not neccessary, Like is enough there to find the positive ones.

SO BORING AND SMALL !!!s

Hi everyone!
It seems that since patch 3.14, a terrorist has infiltrated GGG and is terrorizing players with his innovations. I advise you to drive this "specialist" from the office in the neck ...
I have been playing since 2013 only on the MF (it keeps me in the game and gives me emotions). The nerf of ghosts was enough for me... old players will understand how they drove around the map and collected packs of mobs... that's what got me hooked and I've been playing since 2013...

I advise you to drive this "specialist" with pissed rags from the office.

P.S. And so many friends left the game! Enough! I beg! Guys!

In the same post that you pretty much justifying the games death, you also advertise MTX?

Whoever buys that has to be either extremaly addicted or with severely crippled intelligence.

I remember when PoE was actually fun.

If you don't like the game, leave and stop complaining like a kid. It's GGG's game not yours, they have a vision and if you are not OK with it, again, leave.

I myself find it less enjoyable nowadays, but I'm not gonna harass the devs to change the things I don't like.

If Chris Wilson wants the game the way it is right know, it's respectable, there's a ton of games out there for you to play instead of camping the forums or reddit crying about how they 'destroyed' your favourite game.

Move on, videogames are not that important in life.

Rarely read something so stupid, I'm sorry. Without the community, GGG would not be where it is today. And if the majority is dissatisfied, sooner or later PoE will perish. If nothing happens in the next 2-3 weeks, the league is simply dead and dissatisfaction would only increase, resulting in the loss of loyal players.

You will be here next league, and the next one, and the next one, all the people that cries either stopped playing a long time ago or they will be back anyways.

I’m level 89.

I have no Vaal orbs dropping so I can’t progress red maps on atlas.

For a good part of yellow maps I had no alchemy orbs.

I only have about 40 chaos orbs.

I can’t do harvest, mobs take too long to kill.

You have reduced the amount of mobs, some maps feel empty.

You have made rare mobs more rewarding but impossible to kill. Which means the rewards are zero.

I played all weekend but if the only changes being made are the few mentioned here, then the league is already dead.

On the other hand, if GGG had been listening to the community every time, we would have some shit game like D3. Is that really what you want ?

Basically we would have pets and auto clickers, auto flasks, macros for everything, automatic market, and all that stuff like we are turbo bots, I'm glad GGG don't listen to complainers that much, just the essential.

I just don't understand the philosophy of all this. Is not the main point of a game to have fun? Why are they against this so much lately? So strange.
