I'm still wandering around the forums every now and then to check out what you guys are doing with the game but still haven't found anything about Map-pool sustainability (I guess patience is a virtue).
Hoping to see some future positive changes; games are supposed to be fun and rewarding!

Cheers.

+1 to this.

maps are already vastly more sustainable than they were prior to the maze removal.

Are you talking about the mod that disappeared from the maps? Because if that's the case it is still not good enough (i.e too much based on RNG). Crafting sucks enough as a downside... why the hell can't X Boss from X map drops at least one map from the same lvl or superior?
Seriously how hard is it to &#@*%*¤ do this GGG?


I mean ultimately I really don't give a fuck, I can be banned or whatever, there are other games to be played but since I personally believed in you guys I'm just gonna say it like I would talk to a close friend (no bullshit/sugar-coating)):

- crafting sucks, period. People have lives and don't have time to grind like retards (even that doesn't make it). You said before you were absolutely sure about your "RNG algorithm" tell you what, in reality that is not true! Not saying we should get very rare gear every day but just the fact that you get 10s of low lvl shit that you already have 10 times in your stash proves it.

- Maps or End Game is not sustainable. By that I mean I stopped lvling at 86 because I could not sustained a decent map-pool according to my lvl (for xp). You cannot force someone to play in a 6 men group with a high MF culler in order to have decent drop rates... What if I want to grind solo because I prefer burning flesh at my own pace? Sure I'm talking about me right now but I don't think it would be unfair to say that lots of players can relate.

- Trading... Even worse than the Asian-Auction-House we got from D3, the suggestion section has enough ideas to make you occupied for months. It took Bli² more than a year to react maybe it will be 2 this time?


Yet we won't miss the brand new micro-transaction next week!!! Be assured that it won't be delayed because there is nothing more important in the world than having a pet at your side while you desync!
Enough with the irony, you guys could have been THE new example for the video-game industry (what made me support you, not too much about the game, more about your philosophy during open Beta) but you decided to screw it up.



In one image:



Next league should be interestingly short :p



Peace out.

you cant satifsy eveyone but trust me you do satisfy A LOT of people including me xD i think your game and the direction its taking will last at least for a decade in the video game industry. You truely are what many many many gamers were waiting for since year 2000. You are the first best video game for the 21s century!!! keep going

Have they said when they are going to announce what the new "four-month leagues" are going to be? I hope it is they are changing it to 3 month. four-month leagues are to long it is so dead now.

While I completely agree 3 months would be way better, the post clearly says 4 month leagues.

I am new to the game but already in love! I have started a character with a friend and we're both really enjoying it! I did a race last night and found it to be really exciting. I only have one point for this season, and I know it ends soon, but I am pretty sure I can at least snag that sweet belt before the event ends.

Really looking forward to how far you guys can go with this game. It is hard to believe that such a high quality title is free to play.

One question, ¿This mini expansion will be free of charge?

Yes because...

"Path of Exile is completely free to download and play. We never intend to charge for content or access to the released game. In order to fund the development and continued expansion of Path of Exile, we offer a range of ethical microtransactions... "

Quote taken from introduction to the basic point packs in the shop.

The company's name is Grinding Gear Games. They made this game for hardcore players, not filthy casuals who think top-tier gear should be rewarded to them in a couple days of play time. It sounds mostly like you're having bad luck with the RNG. All people do. It's part of the grind. Also, why are you saving so much low level gear?

No one is forcing you to play in groups. I've played solo with every character and it's been easy getting into the mid 80's. I feel like they significantly increased the chance to get a map of the same/higher level compared to what is was in closed beta. Maybe raise your Item Rarity/Quantity? I find at least 2-3 maps per map run, that's with 200+ IR and 100+ IQ. Also, the idea of having guaranteed map drops is stupid.

I know a lot of people complain that the trade system is archaic, and while I agree, I've never had an issue trying to buy/sell and item in chat. Sure, it may take some spamming of trade channels 1-10, but I almost always get replies. When you couple that with the forums shop threads, people will come to you. GGG has already mentioned the possibility of having public stash tabs where people could see what you have up for sale. Something like that is going to be a BIG addition to the game and is going to take some time to implement. Be patient.

TL;DR:

Step your game up
Be patient
The game has been outstanding so far

Maybe a place like Diablow 3 would be better for you =]

Peace out.

I was being a wise ass.
