What We're Working On

A simpler league for 3.7 that is at this point already playtested further than synthesis was on launch? That sounds good. Sounds like you're finally taking feedback serious, which might actually be benefical for you.

That being said; there is still an ominous silence concerning performance issues, screen freezes, client crashes, and the ever so persistent ''an unexpected disconnection has occured'' (which by now is not unexpected anymore btw).

We're still waiting to be able to play the game again ...

Are you planning on fixing the system crashes, Like the one where you try to log to the character selection screen and then your game just freezes and you have to Exit POE to log in again.

I'd rather have a few days inbetween leagues just to sort out storage in standard.

I still maintain some desperate hope i might play there again, and am trying to limit the ungodly amount of remove-only tabs i have.

I was hoping "what we're working on" was going to be Synthesis improvements though given the league is only 1 month in.

I would prefer to be able to play Synthesis league right up until the next league starts.

From a player PoV, there really isn't much point in an enforced one week of no seasonal content. If purely seasonal players like myself want a break, we should be able to choose to take a break on our own without GGG forcing it on us.

I can see how seasonless downtime might be useful from GGG's backend perspective, but it's not optimal for players imo.

I may well take a break later in this season... but I'd prefer the option to go hard right til the end if I choose.

Nice. As always, many thanks for keeping the information flowing.

Since you guys do not answer to this I'll try to post it here. For most of the league I + others have bin struggling with latency issues spiking up to 1800++++! I've seen huge post on the bug forums. And not a single reply. People (including me) can open a map with no lag and no lag in ho. Then find wild Zana. Enter the map -boom lag bomb, then manage to find an abysal crack- enter it an lag is gone... I'm a poor guy and last night everything was well. Then I open up a shaper instance which is expensive to me - boom LAG. Fight was super fun with 300-1700 latency... you guys were just so good at answering people before and I always felt nervous about the day you guys would grow big. Now you are a big boy and stop replying people with huge problems. BUT ITS OKAY it's not like I plantet 3k++ dollars as support to you guys.. :( I feel frustrated and sad. The game of my life is comming to and end for me and several others it seems :(

And no this is not my internet providers issue.

RACE! NICE!

I consider myself a devoted player, but here's the stats. Also, I apologize, because I used to be good at writing. I've only spent under $100, solely on stash. Synthesis, after the patch, is my favorite league in forever. Only in the last three leagues have I come to appreciate how awesome breach was, so that may indicate my play level. I suck at this game compared to most of these posters, here and on reddit.

What I want to say is I support any decision that makes this game last as long as possible. It is moving away from me, but that is OK. I am disabled, so I am in the minority. I will play because I love it.

But, if you can, keep it new enough and accessible enough for me to continue until I can't anymore. All the new D3 converts are great, except for their whiny bullshit. Make a balance, but don't change to kiss ass to the lowest common denominator. In my experience, catering to the LCD is a losing proposition. Chris, don't fall for it, although it is tempting. (Mistake I made when I was cool. . .so, wisdom and shit.)

Your long term supporters are the cool kids. Just keep on if you want to keep on.

It will be interesting to me whether POE or me lasts longer. . .give me a race.

End synth league much earlier like next week and do race 1 month is my suggestions..

I'd say that if it's plausible, an optional migration during the last days of the league is the most convenient option for every player regardless of their focus.
