Current Development Priorities

Well, for me, no problem so far. Only had some lag spikes Friday night but heck, with that amount of players, that's pretty normal. Oh, the portal bug really sucked btw. But didn't experiment one anymore.
Otherwise, I feel like this expansion is great ! The labyrinth is awesome (and srsly, the "I don't wanna be stuck in it, and it's mandatory", well, just do it when you're 25 level above and it'll take 5 minutes of faceroll, period.), a great add to an already amazing game.

Oh, by the way, thanks for allowing the temporary leagues to have the legacy items. As someone that never play Standard, it's kinda the only real way to put my hands on some items that we cannot have anymore.

Rock on!

Just hitting Labyrinth on live now. Definitely harder than in testing due to these instabilities (basic lag spikes, possibly on my end but speedtest.net does not lie...does she?), but still much, MUCH love for the whole thing. I'm going to have to review my support policies I think.

Ascendancy: Your Ruler approves. Stay awesome, stay cool, stay hydrated.

Not just you. I feel like performance has taken a massive shit since 2.0 and is just as bad if not worse with 2.2. Playing on lockstep is often required for some skills but its unbearable with the ridiculous fps and latency spikes. Dozens of times my client would go from 120fps down to 20 because of something on the screen (everything was dead). I would leave the immediate area and immediately it would bounce back to 120, going back again resulted in fps cratering back to 20.

I don't know what is going on but I am seriously starting to think GGG should have just bought an engine. They probably need to spend an expansion on optimizing the engine because it honestly feels like a piece of shit and the more content they push out the worse it gets.

Performance
We are currently working hard on improving the performance of the Perandus encounters. There are some significant improvements coming, some of which may be deployed tonight or in the morning.

We also need to work on the preloading/RAM usage situation. We are both using too much RAM (approaching the 4gb virtual memory limit on 64 bit windows) while simultaneously not preloading enough to prevent asset loading during combat occasionally. This is very high priority for us and we will make sure it is improved as soon as possible.

Too late, just lost my highest coin character thanks to a giant box defender packwith 3 frames iin 10 seconds and no chance to do anything (it felt like it was constantly reloading assets, like with lockboxes with exiles, but multiple times (at least 3)).

Btw, there is a bug where the hp doesn't fill up completely, at first i thought it was a bug with zealots oath, but it seems even without it happens constantly. I thought that it isn't that bad (because who cares about 1-10 hp right?), but than i realised that a lot of items and support gems are linked to having 100% of your hp!
Someone else that got this bug?

Ascendancy is fantastic, the Labyrinth is fantastic, Perandus league is fantastic. You've all hit it out of the park with this one.

THIS ^, minus Perandus... I'm not crazy about uniques being so accessible. BUT OTHERWISE THIS ^

Ok, I have one slight complaint. I'd love to see more mini-bosses like Argus in the Labyrinth, something to keep things exciting!

THIS ^, BUT OTHERWISE THIS ^

after stability fixes plz for the love of all things give use a trading system that is not 3rd party... I should not be forced to use a 3rd party system to trade with others.

I would rather see a trading system than balancing.
now that you have a story in the game that based around trade, you could lead it into a banking clan or something... at least give me a buy out only trade house!

IF you have any suggestion oh how to fix this issue plz reply and If you agree that trading need to be from GGG not a 3rd party program, plz reply, and IF you feel that a trading system needs to added next plz reply!

Until the asset loading issue during Perandus encounters is fixed, hardcore chars in that league are way too risky for me. I just lost a char to a 2-3s screen freeze up, nothing I could do.

Granted, I have no SSD which makes the matter worse, but it still is heartbreaking to lose so much work to something like that.

The "extra perk" to hardcore players not having to run the labyrinth on multiple characters is bullshit. They chose hardcore to have a harder path and now you are going to forgive them for picking it by NOT PLACING EACH OF THEIR CHARACTERS IN PERIL? SOUNDS MORE LIKE CATERING TO FARMERS THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

SHAME.

SHAME.

SHAME.

My opinion of this game just changed and not for the better.

Omg impossible to go on imperial gardens...
Before i had lag but was playable, now just after i enter the area i got disconnect, can't take even one step inside that area anymore!!

Hmm, This game does seem to cater to the players by expanding on things experienced players can gain more from than new players, any thoughts on leveling out the playing field? Not that I am too inexperienced to play but I noticed a post about this and it really is true, then again, PoE always has catered to hardcore players (Not the league) so maybe it is pretty good in a sense. It does kind of suck to have to play 100 hours or so before you realize, these builds aren't viable but this one should be. By then your stash should be full of stuff to help you with the journey of this next try. Kind of rambled at the end lmao but anyhow thanks GGG for an awesome experience I will continue to support the game!!! Glad I found pre made cheap builds lol case and point I suppose.

Wish I read this before I posted what I did. That's pretty messed up and unfair.
