The game has been abandoned

Given that GGG communicates significantly less with their customers than even any AAA studio, it's absolutely understandable that these people feel lied to.

They had the convenient xmas holiday excuse shortly after release. Now though? It's obvious they simply can't be bothered.

Maybe just maybe it's because GGG has about 120 employees while other AAA studios have 10-100x more?
There are about 9000 people who work or worked on D4 for example. Do you really want to compare this?

Goddamn you people are needy childs .

What "big update"?

0.1.1 the 16th of January ?
Followed by five hotfixes ??
Do you expect GGG to release Seasons & new Campaign Acts every 2 weeks now ???

No, it hasn't, and neither has PoE1.

Suggesting either is abandoned and in "maintenance" mode is absurd rejection of reality.

Rofl, the lies this industry has people convinced of truly know no bounds.

So, "trust me bro"

GGG doesn't give a flying f*ck about testing or feedback.

Soooooo, "trust me bro"

They use folks to collect data, and based on these metrics they will make changes to their game. Maybe.

Fun fact, that data collection is called "TESTING" and the results from processing said data is called "FEEDBACK". Also, yes, they may not put all the changes YOU want in the game. That's why it's called general feedback and not Timmy gets whatever the f he wants.

But even that is only limited to balancing & fine tuning things, it's absolutely obvious that no part of their core vision will be significantly altered.

Absolutely obvious, trust me bro.

I like it.

And yet I bet you all my orbs that this system will make it to the full release, along with many other universally disliked systems.

It might! And you don't speak for the universe, dipshit!

They can't even be bothered to remotely communicate with their customers on any level. Not the leadership, not the developers, not even the community managers.

Just gunna leave this here...https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3694287

GGG has completely given up on their community, and we're nothing but walking wallets and data points to them.

"Trust me bro", but also...if you're just learning that you, as a customer, are not special from any other customer...best you learned that now.

It's just human nature, and the natural outcome when you turns nerds into millionaires. They will instantly reject their past, and everybody associated with it.

"It's just human nature"...I'll be taking your Anthropology license now, thanks.

Of course they still need their customers, so they'll begrudgingly sit down for a video every other month, pretending to care with smug smiles on their faces.

Ohhhh, so NOW you admit they do interact with their customers, but it's disingenuous becauuuuse...why? Oh yeah, that's right...probably shouldn't even have to say it, but...

Posting outdated numbers while casually forgetting that this studio & game are fully owned by one of the biggest Chinese tech corporations doesn't really help your point.

So they magicaly grew in numbers when Tencent bought them? Like "hey, take these 1000 people we bringed, they are now GGG too."?

For game to last it needs to be updated and worked on.
This right now is a joke, from vacation to patches that a single intern worked on.
It's been almost 2 months and game lost most players despite the ad campaign to rival raid shadow legends.
So it just feels like abandonware and scam, since GGG just released this to sell early access packs and then go on silence mode until next bunch of packs for whatever league, like they usually do

But hey, they fixed UNA!!

To me they are making game for streamers, not for players.
Money talks.
After nearly 2 months after release they didnt even fix major bugs.
RMT - im not even mentioning it, getting spammed daily with offers.
Way to go ggg.
Maybe they should start doing their fucking job.

You don't get to answer questions with loaded questions. That's not how educated people converse, at least.

Yep , that's exactly what it is about , gotcha .

You refusing to state it so here is only because even you know these are retarded expectations lmao

I refuse to answer that because:

A) you refuse to answer the question I asked first, and

B) because putting hyperbolic words in someone's mouth is nothing worth engaging with.

i want weekly content but i'll keep refusing to acknowledge it clearly because even i know this is retarded

Yeah right buddy , keep deflecting on your way back to nolifin' multiple MMOs , this ain't the right game for you .
