Well I can see both sides here. Yes we wish for games without bugs but its still free (I know that debatable but the basic game is free, no one can deny that).

And there is no point in attacking GGG. Give constructive feedback. Its the only way to get the change you wish for.


No, there are no two sides. Every product has a "appeasement curve". If it's broken too much, then people start to leave. It's not a secret knowledge or anything, every product manager of mid-level knows this by heart.

It's also not a game development concept, it just applies to games because they are products (or services).

IF GGG, at some point, will break the game too much for end-users liking because they can't sort the shit out at exec level, then too many players will start leaving, initiating death spiral (lower revenue will force GGG to pump up more content of lower quality, more people will leave).

I play lot less this league waiting for fixes to game-breaking bugs. Will I even be around in a week or will something else pull me in (and money I would usually spend on some microtransactions)?

Will I even return for next league when remembering frustration and writing this e-mail instead of fun of playing the game?

Saying the truth does not equate to attack. Yeah, it can be painful.

Releasing content in such a broken state as Heist is killing their business and dreams that fuel it.

Hopefully it will hurt enough to be a wake up call and not enough to damage them beyond recognition.

GGG has new gems that don't work, apparently 100% progression blocker at top end of new content, core gameplay loop of new mechanic that was never tested with real players and numerous other issues.

It's a testament to strength of core gameplay loop of PoE that there are any players left here to complain.

It quacks, its name is Donald and since it just keeps happening every league, then it means they have quite typical problem of every start-up developer who grew too fast and never invested money and time into development process.






Another beta league. Classic GGG quality control "Just release it and We'll fix it later".

This. This happens every. fucking. time. It's unbelievable how they keep getting away with it.
GGG is bugged

take down servers, bring them back u when league working properly cause we all getting F here, running contracts for nothing, crashing or not being able to complete green contracts etc..


How about community boycotts microtransactions purchases?
Thank you GGG for improving the game. Especially this one solves one thing that was quite annoying:

"
Attempting to leave a Heist area before entering a Heist Wing will now request confirmation.


Lost few heists when the portal was right in the path of the movement and character entered the portal instead of just walking by it.
I know it's not true, but it could be.

I feel like an outlier in all this negativity.

This release was excellent and an excellent league. I am a bit disappointed that there has to be a patch, but this is the exact way most online games work when the release new expansions or content.

-Develop large expansion
-bug test as much as you can internally
-release expansion
-see bugs
-squash bugs
-patch
-repeat

Even if there was a massive beta test, there just isn't enough data to find every bug and fix them all before release.
If you want an example, pick a company that has had a massive player base like Blizzard: they can't release an unbuggy expansion to save their life.



Excellent league, I love the fresh feel of it.
Well thats to bad. Heists used to be fun, now I guess its just a cakewalk loot piñata.
