What We're Working On

I uninstalled this game during sentinel league with the archnemesis fiasco, and i installed it for this league to see the state of the game. I have uninstalled this game yet again, as the state of the game is now DEAD.

Great job Chris and team for putting the final nail on the coffin, im not installing this game again, its been run through the ringer and is not the game that i loved, its now a complete train wreck.

More Ninjas Nerfs is corruption

10 years of PoE under my belt and if this really is the direction we're going I can't say I like it at all. Dealing with archnemesis is annoying in itself especially since most of the mods that gut my build drop nothing still so it's better to just run past them most of the time instead of wasting time.

Thanks for the good times, shame the game is in it's current state.

250k players in the first weekend, almost 190k views (within 2 days) on this thread. Feedback is overwhelmingly negative to the changes made. Can you please listen and address the issues?

Harvest is now rubbish, before you could get about 20-30 chances to roll an item per harvest (even in white maps), now you are lucky if you get 2. That is a 1500% reduction in rolls per harvest. The removal of jeweller and fusing crafts means you get an even worse levelling experience. Before you could find a 5 socket/link craft within about 5 harvests that would boost damage to get through maps (so by mid yellow you had at least a 5 link). Now, nothing has been added to replace that.

Gear drops and currency drop rates are rubbish. The changes to exalt/divines means you can’t even roll the modifiers of the gear that you find to improve it slightly. Such a bad levelling experience. An exalt slam, even at 10C has such low odds of adding anything useful, it’s just not worth it.

The league mechanic requires ~5-8maps to get a chance at reflected gear (after 5 lakes I have no useable gear). I don’t mean bad gear, I mean completely unusable... negative attributes or negative life or life loss that are just far too punishing as downsides on one or other of the items.

Even the tainted currency (which should have been a good change) had the chances of success set so low they are effectively unusable...

The only positive so far has been the updates to trade that automatically highlights items, which is actually a great change.

Scourge was the perfect plan for the large amount of garbage loot. With Scourge, everything could become something. If you want to balance something down, don't balance down the good loot, balance out some of the garbage drops. Used to be able to get something decent to drop during the game, a rare that was "nice". Seems these days you might as well feed the chaos recipe because your chance of getting something nice without crafting is near zero. If you keep heading toward your current agenda, your going to have an unplayable and unenjoyable game that will balance all your players away.

These changes are not final, but we wanted to communicate our current thoughts immediately rather than wait until patch notes are ready later. The changes will be deployed separately, as they're ready, over the next few days. We will continue to monitor feedback and will investigate more areas for adjustment.

How about major changes to the game are listed in the patch notes before you have to start putting out fires? Omitting the biggest changes you've made to loot drops in the history of POE is disgusting.

I am upset. I have played this game many leagues. This is the only one besides synthesis I am considering quitting. Not sure where you are going with this ggg.

No Chris, this isn't even CLOSE to enough. You've made it very obvious for quite a while now that you give exactly zero fucks about what the players enjoy, your vision simply isn't compatible with the the things that made this game great. You are actively ruining it, you just don't care about it because "muh vision".

I stopped spending any money on this game after Ritual, but it seems that's not enough. I get the feeling that you really just want me to not play this pile of shit at all anymore. Maybe you are trying turn this game into some kind of obscure art piece that isn't meant to be actually played and instead only stared at, making people wonder what kind of vision-enhancing drugs the creator must have been consuming during its creation.

GGG, the clock is ticking. The community has spoken. You beeing silent aint going in your favour. I hope that this silence is due to emergency meeting at GGG HQ and you guys/girls are working you're arses of to get a hotfix out within hours time.

If you still think "It's working as intended" congratz, you just killed you're own game.
