Windows 11 - 24H2
I am developer and worked in couple of companies, and I have seen that as normal practice. I have seen our POs and PMs not having issue with giving next early release for testing to clients just before Christmas break in our company, when we knew there will be no one to give a s** about that. You know why? Because it was early release, and it was not on the production. And PoE 2 is early access, so we are technically all testers. Game is NOT RELEASED YET. This is early stage of development, as GGG said that their plan is for make a release from 6 to 12 months after EA. So having crashes, bugs, all sort of things is just normal part of that stage of the game. We all knew that we are playing in game that is not ready. But if you ask for me, it is in very good shape. Sure, there are bug, crashes etc. but I was expecting like crashes on bosses, missing textures, missing animations, some combinations of skills making whole screen blow up, physics to be broken etc.

I know i signed up for early access and i know that early access means i will encounter bugs and glitches.

I think the game, at the base, is in pretty good shape to. Didn't say anything about that. I play Mercenary, allot needs fixing but first things first.

That i wouldn't go live like this and you would is just a difference of opinion, no hard feelings mate.

Difference is that this is the PRODUCTION enviroment and we signed up for EARLY ACCESS to the PRODUCTION enviroment to help find bugs and such to make the game better.
We even paid 30 bucks to help find bugs, for a game that's gonna be free when it's out of EA. How's that for having hart for the game.

patch introduced UI bug when mobs move they generate thousands of grey pixels in strands all around them. Impossible to do maps, all you see is a grey mass with no discernible mobs in it.

When game starts change CPU affinity, so that PoE does not use first two. Then in case of freeze, you should be able to just fine just close the game from windows manager and start it again.

Its not a perfect fix. I still experienced a hard freeze but with looping sound

That is strange. for me it works. Even if game freezes (happens once-twice a day), I have no issue with stopping it, as OS has free cores to manage itself. You sure that you leave at least two first ones?

They must be on vacation still.

I mean they wont even take the time to add a loot filter for console gamers so they have highlighted / items on mini map. So either they're on vacation or just don't give a solid F about their console gamers. I am PC gamer but there is legit no excuse to fuck over their entire console gamer community that hard.

Poe 2 to me really feels more like Poe 1.5
The game is outstanding visually and thematically and you feel immersed in the amazing map layouts and the boss fights are much more engaging, but that is about it.

But then again are the boss fights really that much more engaging? Everything is so obviously telegraphed you can ESC respawn to avoid any one shots.

Defenses are a complete joke you only have ES viable and still cannot survive, your best defensive layer is to one shot everything and instant phase bosses
which IN TURN takes away from all the engaging boss mechanics you have worked to create. So in turn you need to entirely GUT your defense system and build another one cause the current one is a giant turd. A less polished emulated version of poe1s. Ive never felt more of a limp dick uber boss experience in my POE than the arbiter.

Theres so much stupid shit about this game just repeating the same mistakes of poe1 again (spark and walls)

Nothings been balance tested, or if you did you hired your 5 year old little cousin to balance test, and when you asked him if anything needed to be balanced on monk bell he said 'nope its perfectly balanced'
(the fact that you over see shit like MONK BELL is absolutely ridiculous)

99 thousand bugs and crashes don't bother me, that shits probably hard AF to figure out. But when so many of your pre-conversion and post-conversion mechanics in-game are inconsistent and tooltip is complete dog shit, you know that stuff bothers me, cause that's just blatant neglect.
-Heft support buffs certain skills pre-conversion and others post
-auto attack can and will swing towards a wall if you are too close to it and stop your pathing
-spark wont fire if you too close to a wall
-trial of sekhamas WP changes location on map pointlessly if you start from different zones
-the underground portion toggle on map changing the WP location and the whole underground toggle is just dumb
just a couple off off the top my head, imagine if i actually recorded the 100s

Uniques are basically the same but reworked. Ghostwrithe being the same and actually good is just boring, HOWA/Pillar etc... like where is the actual creativity? Almost all currency the same with two new orbs. I was really hoping for a poe2 not just a sequel, but the amount of re-used ideas makes it feel stale. What about new currency, new uniques, MOST IMPORTANTLY LIKE SOME NEW FUCKIN AFFIXS NOT JUST THE SAME FUCKIN BORING SHIT? LIKE REALLY? 97% OF YOUR AFFIXS ARE JUST COPIED AND PASTED FROM POE1, HOW DO YOU EVEN CALL THIS A VERSION TWO? everything feels like a more visually polished but inconsistently planned and plotted version of poe1. Almost burnt out of a just a month of Poe2, I doubt replaying with a new class will do it for me when just 90% of the game feels copied and pasted from poe1.

Poe2 - you can spend 100 hours worth of currency to not even craft a single mid-top tier item, how is this fun? At least poe1 you had a fuckin bench.
TBH the game at the current state has less desirability for replay.

I mean you specifically stated you didnt want players to have to pick up 1,000 items off the ground so you made loot more 'scare and rewarding'
Yet now you have to pick up every magic unid base you need to ID to see if worth regaling

before you could avoid picking up every magic item and just vendor for alts
alt hoard and then alt spam.
without alts you kinda need to pick up and ID every magic item or you sleeping on plus 2 minion helms, all skill amulets, etc.

LEGIT you put the exact system in place you tried to change and avoid.
it seems you contradict yourself with your goal sight
You are piss poor with transparency and communication and
the entirety of your community feels it.

Like just make one fuckin post about armour to let us know you are even aware or care about it. It legit takes one fuckin minute.

"We are aware armour is under preforming (and complete dogshit) and ES has far too high scaling potential compared to other defensive layers, we are working at revising and improvising this system"

THATS ALL IT FUCKIN TAKES GGG TAKE NOTES, ONE SIMPLE FUCKIN SENTENCE TO YOUR FUCKIN COMMUNITY

BUT ALAS ARE YOU EVEN CONSIDERENG DEFENSIVE REWORK? I WONT PLAY THIS SHIT GAME IF YOU FUCKIN DONT AND QUICK HOLY FUCKIN SMOKES WHERE IS THE FUCKIN COMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMUNNNNICATIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

fucking communication breakdown

im not sure how long the celebrate Baby Jesus in NZ but holiday ended 15 days ago here :P but i guess they still on holiday

We had our hopes and expectations high boys, but looks like this wont be the dream game we were dreaming for.

Without a proper balance team this game will always be a lesser version of its potential self, and you have had a shit balance team ever since poe1 beta and nothing has ever changed.
