" Your comment would have been cencored if they did. If they hired a PR team they would've told them their community is readying their pitchforks and that any more shilling at this point would unbreak the cult programming they've been doing for years.

" Keep wasting money for an event you don't know if it'll happen. They are selling something for an event in 2023... Would be funny to see other lockdowns making you guys quiet. And the chances are so high. | |
" To be fair, if things go sideways from the NZ gov side of things due to COVID or whatever, GGG are on record saying they will refund the tickets. As far as accommodations and flights are concerned, there are such things as cancellation insurance. On top of that, debit/credit card companies offer free trip cancellation insurance under specific terms, so people might wanna check that out. " GGG gives us the tools to determine for ourselves if we agree with where they're taking THEIR game, and it's up to us to decide if it's in tune with our own desires for the game. If it is, feel free to keep em running (or not) by throwing money their way. If it stops to at any point, then reevaluate accordingly. At least unlike most dev companies out there, they know they can't please absolutely everybody (then fail at delivering) so they don't even try. They just aim for a core of precious few and that's kept them going for long enough now that everybody whining right now is just white noise in the background. | |
" Millions? Peak of 75k is millions hahaha. I can see a future that this game will only have fan boys and nothing more. Forever an indie game. | |

I have to say, the first exilecon was one of the greatest vacations of my life. It blew BlizzCon completely out of the water, and that was before blizzard went off the deep end.
I was nervous because it was the farthest from home I had ever travelled, but I got to meet up with a longtime online friend from Australia. We had a blast exploring Auckland together over the days before the con. My favorite was probably the zoo, it was so cool, I had no idea Kiwi birds were so big! And red pandas are even cuter in person. She didn't get a ticket to the VIP dinner, so I ended up going alone. I thought I was going to go for maybe half an hour to 45 minutes, enjoy some food and get out. Didn't think it would be so fun if I didn't know anyone. But it turned out to be very social event as everyone was super into the game so striking up conversations was easy. It was surreal seeing so many familiar faces from the community in one room. I ended up at the table with David Brevik with a couple of guys I met in the line for drinks. We ended up nerding out and chatting long into the wee hours of the morning. The convention itself was a blast, unlike blizzcon it was so cool being able to walk the floor and actually talk to developers. Running into more familiar faces from the community. I didn't play the card game much but what little I did was fun. I spent most of the time grabbing autographs on some magic cards I brought along (Multiple copies of Path to Exile and the magicfest promo Sol Ring that looks like a map device, even got Zana to sign it <3) and just chatting with people from around the world. It was also cool to see Hobbiton and tour Weta workshop, I never made it to the southern island and I was hoping to the next time I visit New Zealand. Unfortunately the timing of this event means I can't go, there were a lot of unexpected expenses this year. But it would have been a tough call regardless. A year ago if I were asked how I thought I would feel about the game today, I never would have imagined how far I have drifted away from it. The last league I deeply enjoyed was 3.13. The ability to make consistent character progress post atlas progression without heavy reliance on trade made the game feel so rewarding to play. There was always something I was working on to incrementally improve, and things to do that didn't boil down to just farming raw currency. A year from now I don't know if I'll still be playing. While the stated goals of recent changes are something I mostly agree with, the actually direction of the game and how those changes feel has pushed me further and further away. The balance just isn't there anymore. Nerfs go too hard and buffs are so conservative, things rarely feel like they end up in a good spot. Fun has taken a backseat to making sure things aren't "too good". And the communication has been really disappointing. Theres this cycle repeating over the last couple of leagues. The announcement sounds amazing, Chris highlights a bunch of things to look forwards to. Patch launches, nothing feels like what Chris has described, massive changes are hidden from players, minor tweaks are oversold. Information in the reveal is wrong and never updated/corrected. Like harvest crafts no longer in the game being shown, or being told that 3 mod archnem will no longer spawn in campaign. Leading to disappointment and confusion when the live game doesn't match expectations. Numbers are usually out of whack and need major adjustments over the course of the first two weeks. Chris makes a post explaining what went wrong, we see moderate improvements, and then the cycle begins again. Before everything from the last patch is fully fixed. I don't know if there is an issue with testing methodology, or if its a communication issue within GGG, or a change in how things are being presented to the community. But I don't like it. It makes GGG feel really out of touch with the feelings of the players. | |
