Hi GGG,
I was with you since open beta and played a game that I actually quite enjoyed, years ago. This game had so many possibilities to actually succeed on many levels and failed hard.
Disclaimer: Your game is very successful, I know that... I can read, 100MTencentmoneyzzzz. But I care for the soul, not for the looks.
I ignored the balancing issues, I ignored the technical issues, I ignored the shady stuff going on in the background and so on.
But the thing is, I don't care for this anymore, five years is enough, I'm not gonna put up with your decisions again, I will maybe come back from time to time, to check on you, but the love is gone.
Then you sold out to Tencent, great stuff, can I now get my money back for all the freakishly overpriced cosmetics? Nah? Thought so. I was supporting YOU not Tencent. If I want to support Tencent, I buy stock options from Tencent, not MTX from you/Tencent. Btw. I kinda have the urge to address my suspicion, that your whole business operation has shifted from making a game to making MTX.
The thing is, the development is obvious, you are going for the Chinese market, that's why your game has become a boring, mind-numbing, clickfest, with absurd layers of RNG to even touch the endgame content. We once called these games asia-grinders. You remmmembaar? I doooo!
In my five years, I have never actually played the true endgame content, man ... I get it, it has to be hard, but this? Perhaps I'm just a bad player, yeah.
I mean, every league I played, I really tried hard to motivate myself to at least kill the Shaper (hardest boss at that time, stuff), but I couldn't deal with the grind, man, this fucking grind is the most depressing, time-wasting and mindless bullshit, I have ever encountered in any game. I am 34 years old and got some experience in that stuff.
Through all the leagues I always hoped, that this game will turn out to be good in the end, but it's only gotten worse.
I played Garbinger - the trash currency league, I played Abyss - the backtracking league, I played Bestiary/Beastiary/Beastyarry... nothing to say about that, I played Incursion league - bonus level league, I played Delve league - the ... nothing to say about that.
The game gets more chaotic and annoying every damn league, so much freaking micromanagement.
Whatever, except for DAVE (Hi Dave, you can now edit my post, I know it's your job. No hard feelings!) no one from your staff will actually read this, because you're way to busy crafting silly MTX for the kids.
All in all, it was nice from time to time, but man, I can't fucking play this anymore. I wanna play something fun, not something that frustrates me and makes me angry.
Have a nice ... *sigh*
You need to change game genre my dude. The HnS was always a one big RNG fest and micromanagement. This game was never made for the people who can't dedicate themselves into it. You say, that you never achived end game (and what is it, killing uber elder ? Or doing whole Atlas ? Or all of it together ? Or achieving lvl 100 ? Explain) and that is just too hard for you to do. Lemme tell you kid, you need to be completely unaware, how freaking EASY is this game compared to the old good PoE where you had 4 acts that you had to do 3x TIMES !
And your ignorance about the Tencent company is something I will just ignore becuase I don't want to insult you. I will just give you an example of the game that Tencet OWNS in 100%, on both markets, not only Chinese (and that is the case of PoE) and that one game, that is till the same good game, is League of Legends. LoL is free to play, that is full of shitty things in cash shop on Asia market, but not in our market, because Tencent understand markets and peoople there. We don't like P2W, and they know it, so only stupid fuk like Activision will implement P2W that will kill the game in the long run. Tencent is the GIANT, biggest company in game industry, and they achived this with clever strategy, and this strategy is not forcing devs to implement P2W elements that ALWAYS leads to death of the game in western markets.
HnS IS GRIND, without GRIND there is no HnS. Without micro management and hard mechanics, game became boring and dull. If you want to play mock up of the HnS, have end game fast and reach high power, go play Diablo 3. And stop rising your personal issues to the table because there are other things that should be fixed than your dull desire of easy acomplishment.
If you will take grind away, your Shaper kll become as worthy and amazing, as Wisdom Scrolls.
Consider that
i as a so called "veteran" agree with KDBW_ger but NOT in case that this game is to hard. I don't play to much and doing breaks - so its no burnout thing, but it just get worse and worse - builds in the old days were so much versatile and achieveable - noone cares about content (only casuals do) and the endgame itself never changed really for being a motivative "endgame" you know?
The challenges also are so minimal different, brutal grindy or based on RNG - there is no real "fun" goal to play anymore imo.
The game isn't balanced for SSF and i don't want to play alone and the trade is so freaky tedious... i wish they remove that shit trade and balance the RNG drops and doing a better craft system instead of a RNG craft system (like old masters)... the grind part wouldn't be a problem, if the grind is fun and a bit challenging. i also wish that they mix hc and sc community - making the game harder in sc and easier for hc. With some checkpoints or that you can loot the items like in Diablo2 - just an example...
An advanced penalty system with increased game mechanics like the resis-exp lost which changes from act to act. Also the Exp grind to lvl100 is so awful - would be better if the lvls before take longer instead of a senseless lvl97,5 to 100 grind which takes the same time as to play from lvl1 to lvl97,5 for minimal bonus.
Ladder is just a meme for a few players. Races were really good btw...!
Also support and curse bots are to OP and a bad concept for PoE. Partying is normally always better (synergy and teamplay wise) than Solo but this is so out of balance... plus the synergy with party quant bonus + mf.
But the game for 5 years in general is very good. so minigratz to the core GGG members and very well written Bex! To be a bit positive :>
PS: The game is pay2win. Maybe there was a time were you can handle 4 regular tabs... but this time is over for a long time ago. And if you watch Tencent's PoE - it's much more pay2win in china and Tencent is just more than a company - it's ok if you like sellouts (ko-ops are cool btw), totalitarianism, embargos and monopols but not me

I love this game. It is a hard game for me. I do not have any 6L items. I do not have enough currency to purchase end-game items. Heck, sometimes I do not even understand how my skills are behaving with their support gems. But, being a long time RNG player (from Diablo 1 and even earlier), and playing since POE launched, I love this game. If I were to make a game, it would be very similar to this one. RNG with crafting, skill based where pretty much any character can use any skill and a skill tree that allows you to play several of the same class without them being the same. Congrats on your anniversary, GGG. Many more.
One day, my ship will come. And with my luck, I'll be waiting at the airport! Last edited by Myrmidon3006 on Oct 25, 2018, 12:08:33 PM

Consider that
Dude, if you don't understand what I wrote, why even reply? And did you even read what I wrote?
The game is not HARD, the game is dumb. I play since open beta. I am not a kid, as I stated. I played hundreds of hours. I know how to make a decent build. The thing is, the game is not about challenging mechanics, it's about the mindless grind. Whatever you may say about Tencent, I don't care, I know my stuff, you obviously don't. I played D3, the release version, as well as the new dumbed down casual D3, it sucks. If I invest hundreds of hours into a game, I expect some accomplishment and I actually like it the hard way, but not the STUPID way.
A decent game should make you want to play it for hours and hours because it's engaging and fun. If you have to watch TV while playing to tolerate the boring game mechanics that game is terrible and boring. REMEMBER? CHRIS SAID THAT. TV, WATCH TV WHILE PLAYING, TV. Yeah, disgusting.

*boring game complains*
Byyyyye KIDDO
What kind of accomplishment do you want to feel in the game that every 3 months reset the whole progress and you need to start over again?
As I told you if you want to feel accomplishment than you need to change the genre to MMORPG games, but that will be hard to do, because most of them turned into slot machines. So good luck, and next time, if you bring up the complains, at least show that you understand what you even need from the game. Because word accomplishment means nothing, as all of us see this differently. For one it will be creating a new successful build, for someone else it will be being the most wealthy person in the game, and others will feel accomplishment from doing a 14'th character in the league.
Define your needs, then speak again.
