Our Reasoning Behind the 3.13 Launch Delay

I personally don't care if it's delayed or not but the reasoning you gave about cyberpunk is pathetic.

I have to agree with others that your main competition is not Cyberpunk (I have the hardware, but no interest in a dressed up shooter), but rather D3 (with Season 22 just around the corner.) It would be nice if the Macintosh version finally made it in January.

I started POE with Synthesis, I did well, learned a lot and managed to reach several times 40/40.

I really do like the game. But those bad league starts pushing me more and more away from the game. And it's not just the league starts, small QoL problems. Delirium grey in grey, click marathons for loot like coins, a flask management that is not up to the speed the game is right now and much much more problems that are part of the current game, like the sound "engine" - those things are killing the fun more and more with the amount of time spend in the game, for me at least.

One of the reasons I play is the missing alternative.

So, Cyberpunk is welcome.

To be true, I would prefer a stable, bug free POE but my impression is that this is a dream. So waiting for PE 2.0 and looking for other games? or be an alpha tester every league, with patches fixing bug after bug, causing more problems than solving, dying performance, basic game mechanics that stop working and an RNG wall in crafting and league content that is imbalanced.

I feel more and more that every hour spend in POE will kill the love towards the game up to a point where even POE 2.0 can not revive that.

Perhaps Cyberpunk is the thing that will help me to enjoy POE again, if GGG uses the time to polish the game and improve basics within the engine, like disabling sounds ingame instead of using a config file, implementing a flaks macro and many more things that are mentioned over and over again from players, veterans and newbies.

nnnnnooooooo i can't believe my vidya expansion will come out a month later than it was supposed to how dare you chris

If you guys need an extra Alpha tester I can help. I've been playing this game since the very beginning when we only had 2 acts and 4 difficulties. I also have been apart of other Alphas under NDA's before so I know how it goes. Just let me know :).

We appreciate you communicating directly. Even after reading the post, I fail to see how a single player only, story driven, snooze fest would compete with a fresh economy and new content. WoW classic and cyber whatever aren't even the same class of game. But it's a business, one that you guys have run rather well for some time. Plus there are plenty of builds left to try and plenty more content to do; we can survive an extra month. ESPECIALLY if we get a month long flash back...delirium on every map please!

See you again in January...

P.S. you could've just admitted you wanted to play Cyberpunk.

Yet the numbers say otherwise.

Weird use of swearing here.

Anyway, I'm hopeful at least a few more people understand you're a business who must protect its employees from financial ruin. This was the right call.

Endless delve now that's an idea! but in all seriousness I wish Synthesis could make an appearance again. There are those of us who loved that league!!!

Thanks for taking the time and effort to address the issue. For me, I don't care about Cyberpunk but since it has potential impact on your business, I think you are making a sound call. How sound that will be is a future consideration. Do what you must and i hope it will all work out for GGG family and gamers.

I find this to be a really good decision! I am loving heist league so much, so I won't mind the extra time with it!

I also always have exams in december, so waiting with all the excitement until after i am done with them really helps me keep focus. Thank you! This is good news for me :)
