honestly all I want is some endless dungeon type content that I can have access to and actually play the game.

This all seems kind of cool, but it also seems really bloated, needlessly complex, yet more limited access content that involves a bunch of nonsense you have to go through basically because u guys are bored. You are devs, u feel u have to do something, u want to do something, your game doesnt really need it, in fact even more complex limited access ultra rewarding content is everything your game doesnt need, but youre gonna crowbar it in anyway because hey, its the next league, u got to do something. its got to be big and u have to feel like ur flexing ur dev muscle to get your job satisfaction fix.


The rewards are meaningless, so much power creep in this game I can blow through all the content that your game will allow me to reasonably access with self found simple rares. Yet here we are, even more bloated layers of power creep introduced via more bloated limit access convoluted content. Youve saturated rewards to the point where nothing is rewarding, I just look at all this new stuff and think who gives a fuck? I stopped giving a fuck about anything reward wise in perandus which is where the entire game because a bloated joke of loot raining from the sky and everyone being able to destroy everything on the screen in a second even if they remove 3 of their main link support gems.



I just want content like delve, except I want to be able to access it. This whole thing uve done is just whatever, thats my reaction, "meh, who cares?". Some of it looks cool, delve looked cool too, Ive never got to the bits in delve that looked cool in the trailer because u fucking gated it to the point where I never managed to get that far and just gave up playing your game.

Does this make me want to come back? No. Simply saying hey, were letting you actually play delve content now without all the fucking around would have been 100000000x more appealing to me than all this whatever this is that uve conjured up. Another dream within a dream with a thing and a menu that leads to an interface where you click the thing and then join it to the other thing and then play the zone and find the whatever that you grab and that lets you go back to the menu where you access the map that lets you select the node that links to the whatsit....

fuck sake man. Endless dungeon, log in, zone into dungeon, play for 7 hours without having to trade or roll something or whatever, just play, just heres a dungeon that has monsters in it that are strong enough to feel like ur fighting something worth while. How hard is it to just do that?

whatever.

This is actually great comment.
Why so much gating? Why maps? Why sulphite? Why spawn raters? Why you just can't access something you want? Why grind or jump through hoops just to access the content you want to play?

Because f2p. Because they need to sell stash.
So stockpile your maps, your scarabs, you frags, you breach stone frags, your everything.
In paid-upfront Diablo clones there are no such gating, because those games are not f2p, but all f2p games have mandatory gating just to squeeze cash out of players.
Some games are more aggressive than others.
POE is relatively moderate with it, but still you can feel it and taste it, when you just don't have sulphite. Go farm niko instead.
Go farm frags instead.
Go play content you don't want to play in order to access content you want to play, all the while collecting bloated assortment of drops that would be a waste to not pick up.
Or trade for it, if you're not SSF, but you just can't spend entire day delving or doing temple or hunting beasts, there will always be gates.


Fully agreed. POE proves more and more with every expansion that their business modell hurts the game design, both for supporters and non-supporters alike.
Enjoy the damned labyrinth? Go play Tomb Raider...

Wraeclast is not Las Vegas! Stop the fucking RNG lottery!
I hope the Synthesis league will be bether. The stupid onehits in this season by the guardians nervs. Pls dont make this game dead like Diablo: Stun, stun, freeeze, curse, onehit dead. Nobody like this in the hole world. This is not funny, not exciting und also not a challenge.
It seems interesting to look for forgotten memories. I will give it a try. Last few leagues I wasn't motivate, but here is something else.. I am curios and that is what I look into a game/league. Good idea! Hope it is really interesting thing.
Remember, my friend, that the expectation leads to disappointment. So don't expect anything from anyone, even from yourself.
Unless i imagined it,my fave part of announcement i think was about atlas getting rearranged again. If they release a new map series my head will explode
Shitysushi - Arrow shooting build.
Sendeliriante - hollow palmer
Same crap over and over again under different name . Game is not fun. Everything one shots you, there is no dungeon crawling anymore, no more monster slaying , it's only calculators, currency abuse, calculators again, more calculators and that's it. Wonder how many more updates like this will POE be able to get and still remain playable.
There are shitloads of features and content in the game right now, yet so hard to enjoy them since everything is locked behind some kind of barrier. You farm so much for sulphite only to run a few delves , and die at the city boss. Then farm few weeks again for the same thing. You kill the boss somehow and you get the finger and maybe some yellows.
I DON'T WANT TRADE SITES, I WANT TO FARM MY OWN GEAR AND NOT HAVE TO DIE OF OLD AGE AND NOT SEE A FUKING EXALT OR AT LEAST A T1 UNIQUE.
Maps are unsustainable unless you loose your mind with the shitload of currency items you can apply to the atlas , MF is useless, and basically all the fun content is so rare that 80% of players are stuck with good old yellow maps and some t11 t12.

No thank you. I miss the POE of old. Feels almost like GGG is also behind RMT items and currency.

Wondering when they make you grind for something so you be able to make a forum post. Always gating league content behind some idiotic grind is just such an uninspired poor design decision. Glad to see people are getting fed up with it finally. I am for sure.

so real
LUCK is not a factor !
And again, more content that you can't / don't want to leave, with no announced trading changes as of yet?

That's disappointing

Favor farming rework please and thanks.


THIS. The old system may have made people irritable with needing to take 10 minutes to actually run dailies (seriously, how hard was this?), but this new system is just garbage. Over the course of a season, I came back to the game, and got my masters to max level, just by doing the dailies. I hadn't played since Ambush. Got all my masters to level 7, and was building the hideout that I wanted.

Then you decided to change things, and make this new, super awesome system, where you gated favour decorations behind new masters, and the new masters have ridiculous methods that aren't easily discerned on how to unlock their levels, and the favour decorations that we had unlocked are now relocked and gated behind these new grinds. What made this worse, was that you claimed that you were apply new costs to favour decos, but not telling people that you were going to re-gate everything, so some of us sat on our millions of favour, instead of buying the decos that we were working with.

Had you been honest, we would have blown through all that favour so that we had what we wanted.

You Should have made all of the old decos baseline, or something, and just put the new decos behind the new favour grind.
WHAT exactly is a Archetype, Sry never heared this phrase here and i play poe since beta,,,,,,,.............
