State of Early Access Update

"
Reminder to not worry about people demanding nerfs in a single player game for some reason. Buff > nerf
Sounds like blizzard balance team.
I’m sorry, so of the most important issues, the awful optimization doesn’t make the cut? The endgame is unplayable on console, and you have maps like Savannah, Sinking, and Blooming where it’s a dice roll on how bad the shader issues that stutter the game are on PC.

I couldn’t care less about balance in what is very much a mostly single player game when the game runs abysmally on a rig that runs just as if not more demanding games on Ultra with 100+ FPS constant. I’ll be skipping any future EA “leagues”. Maybe you’ll get the game to the state it should be by full release.

People spend CURRENCY on their items/jewels, and thats what makes them backlash

Womp-womp. Adapt and get over it. If a legitimate balance change is needed, the amount of fake money spent on digital items is trivial compared to maintaining the integrity of the game.

Buh you completely missed the point about what im answering there. I dont give a damn about spending currency on build in EA, just explained it to the other guy that "guh free respec" ain't gonna work
yesss give me that sweet sweet delicious new league with all the fresh amenities
“What kind of f*cking neighborhood is this!?”
“People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.”
"Not enough character build options including build defining uniques"

Be a good update if they can add to this every couple of months
Uniques? Waypoints? Not a good direction... Not good at all.
state of us doing nothing and blaming players for it

We did attempt to address some of the more overpowered player skills, but backed off somewhat in order to prevent breaking peoples characters. We initially thought that there would be more tolerance for this kind of thing during Early Access, but we were incorrect! We will save changes like this for larger balance updates.


Hey GGG: I think it's absurd to say you can't nuke builds during EA/beta. You should take this opportunity to do precisely that and iterate faster. I fear that if you don't take this approach, you will not be able to deliver the final game this year (2025). Where are you getting this sentiment from that this is not an acceptable approach?

Perhaps there's someone on your team with a Spark mage who doesn't want their character nerfed?

Come on. This isn't rocket science :)

I would love to see a poll on this question. (as perhaps I'm the one who is out of touch??)

Really hope you don't honestly believe those few items are it for the "biggest problems" with POE 2
