Ggg you gotta understand the game you are making by keeping ascendencies the way you have them

Hey. Listen. I played Poe for. 3000 hours. Not a big player but a casual. Poe2 I stopped at second ascendcy. Why? Ridiculous mechanics.

The serious thing though, I just saw a post on FB that asked "is this item worth an ascendcy carry?". Really? That's the game you want to make? There is challenging. Then there is people paying for ascendcy runs.

It's a bloody shame. No one will play more than one season of that because they can't do their ascendencies. It simply won't happen. You will kill the game for the "expanded market" you are striving for. Stop it now

I haven't played EA since I ran my second. What a stupid mechanic. It killed the game. The ascendencies are not worth it so that means the game isn't. It needs serious work. I have heard of chaos inocs rolling only choice of no energy shield. Another has 80% reduction in whatever the mechanic damage is and was one shot by a white mob who hit for 8000. Wow. Fun.

I know you want challenge. But the way it's implemented this isn't it. Watch what happens with an economy reset. All those players you cover will be gone. Why? No one wants to do ascendencies again. Ask the steamers. They don't even want to. It's a sad mechanic.
