I think one thing GGG watched was the vision Blizzard had with D4's release, and how the player's cried and screamed (myself included), and watched D4 completely cave. GGG's takeaway was "ok, when we release POE2, we ain't gunny do that!"... and they're standing their ground. Ok, fine, but your current stance and unwillingness to even budge a little is doing more harm than good, imo.

Aren't they budging though? They're implementing teleportation between checkpoints which was asked for quite a few times. I see them more unwilling to compromise their vision and i think it's a good thing. People seem to forget that they are testers at the moment.

They are budging, yes, but not on some of the things I think they should consider. It really does seem that as soon as a player finds a skill/combo that's decently strong (not OP'd), GGG immediately squashes it. It truly does feel like they want players to really struggle, thinking in their minds that winning the struggle will be rewarding. It's not.

I don't want them to compromise their vision, but if making every move painful and daunting and frustrating for the player is what it takes to keep GGG's vision, I'm not on-board. Understand though this is how I personally feel and has been my experience. I'm assuming though for players like yourself and for many others, maybe not to the same degree :)

It'll never be a one-size-fits-all kind of game, 0 games are, and I'm not expecting that. I just think GGG should slow their roll with the hand-slapping by nerfing literally everything that proves to lessen the back-breaking slope uphill to make it through the content.

I ended up with my own version of COC comet build and it took me like 5 minutes to adapt it to make it work just fine with the changes..

Good job GGG keep it up.

I still don't get it, why people are surprised. GGG was quite clear what's their vision for POE2 and that is different than POE(no 1 button gameplay no offscreening,no turbo clear, no insta taping bosses- we need engage with mechanics). When i saw videos from CoC eye of winter - comet. and Jurg coc , Srs, poison cloud explosion, i expected it will be nerfed or removed, my take is - if you didn't its on you. As its beta testing in early acces its reasonable to do it straight away.
Most of people copied busted builds from streamers and now they cry. Wake up if trivialise content theres high chance it will be removed or nerfed.

Thank you my guy. I was slowing starting to lose hope reading all those crazy negative comments of ppl using the latest patch as excuse to rage.

I wish to add:

1.
I absolutely agree, GGG should even more escalate balancing things (if necessary). This time is for exactly that.

2.
Yes, this was also what i understood. They wanna make the game slower. Which also means it becomes harder in a way, as superspeed clears are now seen as a thing in the past. Get used to that ppl, you actually have to play the game and dodge >.>!

3.
This should be treated as a testrun and one gets the opportunity to involve themselfs in that and should contribute to that. No one is helping or contributing with extremely rageful and insulting messages after only 6 days, 1 day after a patch that one didn't like, by treatening to leave forever.

4.
Feedback should be given in a respectful manner like:
"It would be nice to have the option to respec my build for cheap after changes that might have destroyed entire builds. As farming gold with a broken build is a hassle that takes too long. Until then, a cuple of new patches might be out, which change the landscape yet again. Therefore it would help us as community with testing the builds in an more efficient way."

5.
Funny thing is, that some builds that ppl claim are dead now are not dead. They are just slower and do not superclear anymore. Which is exactly what GGG is striving to do. Try to understand the developer guys, and their motivation behind changes.

Exactly they stated that they decided not to update POE1 to POE2 because game will be different and that's why we keep POE1 it was plainly stated why and what's the difference. And as final thought no one was forced to beta test product, as that's what we exactly we do right now.
