What We're Working On

I'm not sure the patch will save this league for me. I know I'm done playing until it drops, that's for sure.


pretty sure your loot filter is broken tbh
It's actually sad - I can scratch my opinion, but when I see disappointment from ancient beta players with a wall of support packs - that tells everything.

I don't believe this damage (since 3.14) was done accidently and/or unintended. I consider myself from a "new generation" of exiles (playing since 3.8) who came to love poe, probably because it became more accessible - where/why did it went wrong? I would have reverted to 3.11 with a new already added fun systems.

p.s. wasn't spell suppression had a Defense tag?
Problem: Players are having fun in Path of Exile.
Solution: Remove fun.

Opps, I forgot to mention...I turned my loot filter OFF for this. I had NO loot filter running. So I saw everything that dropped. This is how bad the current state of the game is.
It was a good run boy! R.I.P poe....
is it me or does just looking at the currency situation from a high level make this change even dumber?

when you drop everything uniformly, currency needs to deflate (because there's less of it being generated) but it can't because all the currencies retain their relative value because the individual drop rates do not change relative to each other. So the only thing that is being devalued is the work to generate the currency aka the gameplay.

if you try to use other currencies rather than the C base (so alch / or alts) those specific currencies will deflate but then everything else inflates at best or just outright remains stagnant in general and it only messes up those individual currencies exchange rates... either way it doesn't achieve any goal except being a change that was not thought out. So congrats on not thinking.

dropping or raising things uniformly doesn't really change anything but the value of work. but since the currency dropped so sharply to the point where it's negative value to the work being done it literally causes a recession due to the inflation of work.... meaning less people will be playing and doing things that should be positive generators but aren't because it's unprofitable (juicing)

so all GGG did was basically just screw everyone over for no reason. It fixes nothing. It just makes people angry. There was zero point for the change.

When you're trying to slow the game down, what you do is SLOW THE GAME DOWN and INCREASE THE CURRENCY DROPS TO COMPENSATE. It's an economic fundamental and I'm flabbergasted that they do not understand this at the most basic level. They are doing the exact opposite they'd need to do for preparation for POE2.

Lol, I've ran multiple maps in the last hour and it seems like all I get to drop besides one alteration or a chance orb are Convoking Wands.

I feel like GGG has been listening to my talks about not playing another minion build this league...and this is their twisted way of pranking me.

while striving not to increase the average number of clicks needed by too much.


If u are really concerned about us having to do too much clicks -> give us a less frustrating trade experience for everything than gear.

we removed a massive historic bonus to item quantity and/or rarity


If you want to clean up ur game and code by removing historic weight u should start with ur historic and badly aged vision and start acting like being a part of the 21th century.

We have rebalanced all Harvest crafts for the new system and have removed a bunch of filler crafts ...


No. U completly destroyed harvest. Reforges are absolut trash now. Some "Filler Crafts" u removed were great for crafting. Slams are now all together with a random annul - garbage. AND ... not even considerable if one doesn't nolife the game.

... prefer the Divine Orb effect to be rarer, so that unique items with good rolls matter more


I get it. But did u think about the supply of divine orbs? No shards, 1 Div. Card, u don't get them from harbingers, timeless jewels completly destroyed. And in addition - most Uniques are still trash and worthless. The game is now just RNG farming. Hoping there is a Divine dropping while loot is nerfed to oblivion.

... occasionally drop the Scourge league's Tainted currency items that allow you to modify corrupted items.


And btw u just nerfed them so they are useless. From about 50% chance to a about 10% chance for adding another link / socket. WOW! U just added something to the game that is as useless as talismans. Congratulations.



The game is in such a bad state I wouldn't mind if u burn down the servers - the pile of garbage u balanced over the last couple leagues shouldn't be seen or played by anyone. U don't want us to get loot, u don't want us to craft gear, u don't want us to have a good trading experience, u don't want us to have convenience while playing the game and most importantly - u don't want us to have fun.

It's so frustrating to be a beta tester every league. And with each new league u proof once more how out of touch u guys are with the game and the playerbase. What currently is happening in the comments, reddit, utube, twitch, steam reviews. The shitstorm raining down on u - u know what: U deserve it.
don't know what it is, but I do know for sure essence monsters are absolutely busted.


These archnem mods are kinda getting on the nerves too, and well... not in a good way. Some combinations just feel spiteful.

I feel bad for art team. They really did a good job this league
If the game is moving backwards does that mean we'll get racing and pvp back?
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
