What We're Working On

Does Archnemesis, Tradable micro crafts and lower loot drops have something to do with the future game state of POE2?

Is it something of a limitation of a new platform or new endgame strategy?

We are all here playing this game because we love it, just having a hard time understanding the direction the game is going when there is a staunch standing on a part of the game the community has repeatedly voiced its concerns with.

We know GGG pours its time, effort and soul into making a industry leading ARPG and would hate to see it fall off.

If the player base is going to be the de-facto QA testers of game mechanics, development should heed their consensus closely.~

I just gave Amazon £448 to buy an Xbox series X, because my S doesn't have a drive for my Diablo 3 disk.

That's how P***** Off I am about your "Vision" Chris.

It's been fun while it lasted.

they really just dropped this bomb (and then this shitty post) and didn't do anything at all for three whole days? wtf??? Not even small pirate game servers do that wtf

I agree that quantity/rarity especially for party play was a bit overtuned when juicing to max with various league mechanics. I agree that there were some necessary changes to make in Harvest (especially augments) to adjust it to itemized form but why always it has to be that GGG nerfs things to the ground instead of making slower adjustments to see how it goes. If it's still tweaked too much and abusable it can be changed further.

And again what a smart move to not to disclose the details of changes before the league start so that high level of hype is kept while players don't actually know what crucial changes have been made. Nor for item drop or Harvest.
After 3 days of power gaming I realized that there's nothing waiting for me at the endgame as juicing got destroyed, Harvest got nerfed AF + I hate heist and I don't want to spend all my day rerolling Tujen/Gwennen. Worth to mention league mechanic which feels completely empty, I kept trying it from time to time to realize again how boring it is.

I really hope someone comes up with an alternative to PoE soon (just like back in the days when GGG founders decided to make a good ARPG) so that you have an easy decision of quitting when the league and general state of the game is so bad like it is now.

I just can't help thinking why GGG is dying to kill this game so much.

I'm not sure about the game's philosophy but maybe it's time to revisit it now to see if it's still worth keeping. The game plan/formula is simple right? The less loot dropped, the more time players need to play the game and the more chance they will buy the mtx. But I strongly believe that the more the players enjoy the game with substantial challenges the more they will stay and eventually buy these mtxs. I know that the business earns solely from mtx but there are a lot of games out there that have survived with a subscription-based model. You have established a brand that sits at the top of the ARPG market. I'm pretty sure a lot of players will be willing to pay with a great game like this. And of course, please make sure to spend a lot of time doing QAs.

lets keep this calm.

few notes which you can do better.

- restart the league, revert all changes, let us play last league once again.
- delete archnemessis, idea was good, yet you werent able to balance it well. (causes issues every league)
- revert the drops.
- give us all harvest crafts from last league, at least 10x drops of oil. (dont try on us, that it drops well, nothing drops well)
- take more feedback from your longterm streamers, they kinda understand your game.
- revert the loot.
- you really, really, really need to communicate changes in games, forgetting biggest change in history of poe isnt good.

HELL, DONT TRY TO SELL US MTX IF YOUR GAME IS IN THIS STATE(this one i just cannot take calmly, this is showing, that you arent able to take feedback well, also you really showed that you kinda dont care with that)

all and all, this league isnt good, its kinda thrash, if you admit it, your community wont care about this fail, but you really need to communicate better.


i like your new skill gems - good job with those!

This is what happens to games when they are ran by "a single guy and his vision".

This is like GGG's version of "EOMM". They are just trying to keep us engaged by playing more.
Ridiculous.
I can't even sustain my maps with Alch/Alterations//Scouring.
I'm actually done.
Worst league ever!
Cya

One of the only good things about this game was de loot drops.
Unfortunely GGG want to kill the game, and all the base of players that exist.

Just sad.

I feel like the game is worst every league.
As a casual player I often miss out on the big content and I'm still ok with it but to not be able to do a simple crafting recipe in harvest or having no loot drop at all make the game not enjoyable.

I really fear for the poe2 at this rate, either the game will be unplayable or there will be no one left to play it.

Please don't make me look for another arpg.
