Literally 2 months in, 0 new content because they went to vacation for 1 month. Why release a brand new game to millions when you are about to go super long vacation? I will never understand this.


Developers are humans too and no doubt they've been working their asses off before EA released. And regardless of whether you want to call this release an "EA", "Alpha" or "Beta", the game launched in a pretty good state compared to most these days.

They deserve some time with their families and friends.

no one is buying that you dont understand what an EA test realm is so you might as well stop pretending m8.


Once a game has a fully functional MTX Store it deserves to be criticized even harder especially when the game was paid for by most people.

That being said, tons of new people here dont realize this is standard GGG communication as they will soon drop news on whats to come.

Why are you guys never understand that we are not saying "they shouldn't go to vacation" NOBODY LITERALLY NOT A SINGLE PERSON saying that. We are saying they had to release it on january WHEN THEY WERE BACK FROM VACATION.

Stop making this so dramatic and acting like we are against them having rest. You guys are the actual trolls and baits tbh.
After what they did during christmas you can almost call this a rug pull. The lack of updates and communication is unacceptable for a paid EA game.
It was in their best interest to release the game during Christmas vacation time to absorb as much playerbase as they could

In the other hand, was not smart for them to leave them game unchecked right at the crucial moment of hype, this was the real issue

This is not paid EA.
This is paid early beta for PoE 4.0.
When people get this in their heads, the state of PoE ""2"" will make much more sense.

Tell me, what's the difference between a "paid beta" and "early access"? You're free to do some research here, and not just base your answer on your own, internal, subjective logic.

Spoiler
Early access, also known as alpha access, alpha founding, paid alpha, or game preview, is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can purchase and play a game in the various pre-release development cycles, such as pre-alpha, alpha, and/or beta, while the developer is able to use those funds to continue further development on the game.


It doesn't matter what they call it. It's a way to fund the development by allowing players to pay to get access to a not even half-finished game that might not be finished by the end of 2025. On some level, they want our feedback to shape the game in some areas.

I find PoE 2 very boring right now, and I have stopped playing several weeks ago. And that's OK. I've tried it, I played it up to pinnacle bosses, I've given my feedback and I'm out until some things are being changed/added. And that is totally fine in a testing period. In no way, shape or form did they promise us a "complete experience" that would last us for months.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
Genuine question, why are people so butthurt about a video game? DO I think there is stuff that needs fixed? Oh hell yeah but its EA this is expected i've played other EA games that was in it for years. Does it get annoying dying when the fps drops so bad everything on the screen freezes? YUP...

Its a game and people are working on it. The same people bitching up a storm all over these forums about GGG not caring or doing their jobs or how people are leaving the game are the same ones that are still playing. If its sooooo bad stop playing, uninstall and move on, yeah?

Call me crazy but if i dont like something maybe I voice my opinions then move on. Dont go back, dont go complain just MOVE ON to something else. Its truly so crazy with these generation of people and their neediness. I mean the crying and complaining non stop is absurd. Take some midol maybe put on a pad and try to relax.

Game needs work, game is getting work, its a PROCESS. Love the game cant wait to play more. IF you are needing new content already you clearly are playing way to freaking much. Its the same thing from COD players, run through everything in a week because you play 24/7 then complain there isnt much left to do or nothing new. SMH

this is what Steam says aboout EA titles...


"
What is Early Access?
Get immediate access to games that are being developed with the community's involvement. These are games that evolve as you play them, as you give feedback, and as the developers update and add content.

We like to think of games and game development as services that grow and evolve with the involvement of customers and the community. There have been a number of prominent titles that have embraced this model of development recently and found a lot of value in the process. We like to support and encourage developers who want to ship early, involve customers, and build lasting relationships that help everyone make better games.

This is the way games should be made.



an EA is the same thing as the game being in beta, just like all the previous open betas we had in poe1 that you could pay to be in. it clearly states on steam that an EA game is in development and is being developed with feedback from users playing an in development test version of the game.



so if people didnt know now everyone knows, everyone whos pretending not to know can stop pretending. can we just have normal conversations on the forums? shall we stop playing games? were all adults here, lets have serious adult conversations and not talk to each other like 7 year olds in a playground.

lets respect each others intelligence, not get hostile with each other or treat each other like fools. its all good, lets just get along and have productive dialogue? come on guys, its fine, we all just want all the games we play to be good games and that happens when we all give genuine productive feedback and dont antagonise each other.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

You’re over exaggerating yes but to be fair which i hate to do given how dumb your post is with 3.26 needing to happen like a while ago and poe 2 needing a lot of attention i figured they would weekly put out something at least mentioning what plans they have. Then again stuff like that would have to be riddled with ‘subject to change’ so in the end it’s nearly pointless
