This announcement already had more than double the number of pages compared to sacrifice of the vaal announcement (105 vs. 48). I hope that means more players are around or coming back or there isa lot more excitement with this one!

I don't think I'm alone in that I have two primary concerns:
First, no mention whatever on how development will work with and around desync to minimise it's inarguable affect on the game or if there is anything concrete going on at all in respect to it. It's not good PR to talk about this openly but it's PoE's Achilles Heel, only that Heel takes up nearly the entire body. I would love to come and play PoE again but not having any meaningful control of my character, all things considered, is something that I learned to be the case here and not fun...but this sort of thing has been said to death. Second, power creep looks like a reality at this point that seems to indicate one of two things. One is that the dev team will go back to bring older content in line with current content in order to not make it a speedbump or grossly unbalanced, something that we have no good reason to believe will do anything but take the focus off the very real issue of desync's ongoing affect on gameplay. The other is that the dev team will not, in any real way, bring older content in line with newer content and leave sections of the game (entire difficulties?) grossly unbalanced. No, teasing improved boss fights does not count: going back to the 1908s and Wendy's 'where's the beef?' There is some good to be had in this coming update, of course, but it's much akin to continuing to cook a gourmet meal after discovering that something foul got mixed inside by accident or design. GGG is doing good stuff here but that should not excuse the absolute lack of real communication about desync or how to fix it. That horse isn't dead, it's ravenous and undead and is destroying both the integrity of the game and the integrity of the developers. It's a damn shame too because so much was heading in the right direction...and for my part I think I'm well and truly done. After sitting so long on the outside and looking in there's just no indication that anything at all is going to change; there's no point in continuing to wait anymore. GGG clearly doesn't have enough fucks to give about the most meaningful criticism levelled at their game, criticism from people that have paid hundreds of dollars (some thousands and some just tens) and really want this game and the studio to succeed. But, hey, there's just not talking at GGG and certainly no talking with GGG: they know what they want to do and I doubt they're losing sleep over it. And you know what? Fuck them, because they should. Last edited by TheBitterness#5292 on Jul 31, 2014, 9:28:42 PM

" Well, people love MMOs which this game is turning into when the expansion comes. |

" Don't be Butthurt Dirk. It's all additional content. If you don't like it, don't play it. You still have a great ARPG as is. “Demons run when a good man goes to war"

Dude... desync isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Learn about it. Adjust. Adapt. Quit fighting it.

"Not only that but the Negative Nancys are being less vocal or even adding to the positive hype. |
|
" But it isn't lol, nothing is changing to allow more people to play together at the same time. If anything this update will make the game feel even less like an mmo since you will be at your hide out not the main city anymore. |

Yep. The only people who will be in town are those that are completing quest line. All us solo players will be gone. Whew. Best idea yet.
