Chris POE is now a bad Diablo clone...

Yup, it's why I skipped playing this league. PoE is just not as much fun to play anymore. Diablo 3 is more fun for me.

that's just the way it is with people, as soon as they got what they wanted, they leave.

this happened with the folks who wanted instanced loot, the ones who wanted a stronger and longer endgame, now the ones who more or less removed the labyrinth challenge, and it happened to the ones who wanted archnemesis mods nerfed to inexistance.

why?

some people ask for changes cause they fail them, it's the old "if you can't win a game by the rules, just change the rules" and then they realise the rules made the game fun or they still suck even after they changed the rules :)

Not denying that players you have described do exist among the protesters here, yet there are also those who critisize poe design from game developer perspective, and after visiting most game content themselves too. Another reason while your argument is not serious is because the opposite (meaning current) design does not work also: if you can't win a game by the rules, just leave and don't bother. Which is much more popular choice here, by the CCU numbers.

For me there is a MYRIAD of things which keep me from enjoying the game. On top of removing the "Historic reason to play the game" as I call it, how about performance?!

Oddly enough the performance in 3.19 is so horrible my system can barely handle moderately juiced content.

In 3.17 I ran triple beyond 100% deli and with zero issues had an easy 90+ FPS stable. With Head Hunter and Mageblood. HH is graphic intensive.

In 3.18 I ran triple beyond 100% deli and had about 40-50 FPS, and it was a little chuggy and graphics would take get lower res now and again. With Head Hunter and Mageblood.

In 3.19 I ran triple beyond 100% deli and had about 15-20 FPS, very very chuggy stuttery gameplay... My PC couldn't even handle triple beyond 100% deli honestly -- If I had head hunter buffs my PC would probably fry.



My GPU is an EVGA 1060 6gb -- very easy to say "OH HUR DUR WELL THATS YOUR PROBLEM" well it wasn't a problem at all 6 months ago. The juciest content humanly possible was a clean clear 90 FPS. Thyen a patch hit and it cut in half. Then 3.19 hit and it got cut in half again.

I could barely even do 100% deli this league. Apparently inflation is now hitting GPU performance. What was perfect 6 months ago can barely load the game now.
