Then look again how much are worth demigod items in PoE 1.

You have no idea what you talk about or is just too slaty becasue you have no chance to win one.

Also racing is not about RNG, even with best possible drops you would lose to top racers with bad drops.

Worth is relative, a digital item is essentially worthless. 1 million mirrors is a hexadecimal value on a digital storage medium. It is a static charge on an SSD nothing more.

I play games for fun and enjoy community events on many games. You do realize an arbitrary frame impresses less people than a potted cactus? In game skins that cost $500 scream "chump" not "you is awesome".

Will this DeMiGoD title get you laid? Spending $500 on a date will. I find this entire paradigm hilarious, but like I said value is relative.

Demigod, lmao!

Sounds like maybe this stuff is just worthless to you?
If you don’t enjoy/ are bad at speed running then you don’t have to partake. Nobody is forcing you to play this event or path of exile in general. You can leave bud..

I’ve come to understand everyone complaining in here is just a Poe 2 hater.

Yeah mate I was bored the first time I read ya post now I am asleep. I will rephrase, I don't care, you are objectively wrong. End of conversation.

Well well well, and youre the one talking about contribution! Aside from using the most disrespectful language you could have, with your "idiotic" "inferior game" "fumbles this hard" "rushed event" you DARE to call white knights people who just are happier than you with the state of the game (which looks like it requires no effort) people that dont have a demanding attitude and want to keep things calm and constructive in a respectful way while behaving accordingly.

If you are that mad, furious, annoyed and frustrated over this, something bigger than the game is happening to you right now, way bigger. So yes, you need to extend way longer that break, thats not healty at all.

If you think calling PoE2 what is arguably the inferior game between PoE1 and PoE2, seeing as PoE1 actually has a well fleshed out end-game and various systems, the inferior game, and as "most disrespectful language", you got some seriously thin skin on the level of those looking to get outraged by everything on Twitter or Reddit. I think these developers can handle it. That applies to "idiotic", "rushed event" and "fumbling hard" comments as well. These are not severely hurtful words.

The event for PoE1 is obviously rushed out as fast as possible after they got massive big mad backlash from the PoE1 players over their announcement that 3.26 would have to wait until 0.2.0 was ready for PoE2, since they had pulled all their developers to work on it so it could be released as soon as possible. Where's the illogical lie in this? And there's reason behind saying GGG has fumbled. You can disagree all you want, but they have left the PoE2 crowd (and PoE1 crowd for that matter) in the dark for several months. It obviously has had an impact on the player numbers, which went from nearly 600k to 80k peaks. It has received some good QoL updates, as I've even acknowledged, but nothing to actually captivate player engagement and retention. There has been no content. But what is more frustrating is the complete lack of shared information for an Early Access title. No hyping up what is being worked on. No teasing of things that is more or less ready. It's like we are playing the finalized game and are waiting for 3 month apart league updates, not an Early Access title that receives changes on a far more chaotic release cadence (within reason for the company). What we've gotten in terms of information after a long period of radio silence, was a summary of the (actually decent) QoL changes they've done, then 4 non-descript lines saying they need to work on those things and that they also need a carrot to pull players back to play the patch; but nothing about what that entails. Then we get this race event that from the very way it is set up with its set time on three dates makes it so that several players can't even participate at all, because they can't just drop everything to go play PoE2. How would you expect that to not cause a blacklash. That's a fumble in my book. You can disagree, we don't need to share the same outlook on things.

Anyways, to give feedback of how it could have been done to avoid negative player sentiment, which there are aplenty in this topic, all largely complaining about the same thing; that there are so few players that will get anything out of this — should be perfectly reasonable. You need to learn to not read everything exactly as it is written, and rather try to see what the underlying suggestion/feedback is, key word being it's still a suggestion. The developers can choose to do whatever they want with that, regardless of how it is framed or phrased. Feedback is feedback, even when people are annoyed and write "hurtful" things like "fumble" "idiotic", "rushed event" and "inferior game". You honestly come across as some pompous self-assigned authority whose opinions is far more important than those who are complaining with your "please refrain repeating yourself" and grander than thou attitude. But your opinion is no more valuable than those who complain. Your voice carries as much weight as mine, even if you seem to think yourself superior in how you've responded to me, and others in this topic. Fact is, complaints can be just as valuable as praise, to understand what players are or are not resonating with. You can disagree with the complaints. You can think this event is fine. Doesn't mean people can't share their frustrations as well. Feedback is feedback. Get over yourself. We're both entitled to our opinions on the current status quo of the game. I was hardly severely disrespectful nor were I telling developers to off themselves.

Not long ago I was very positive about this game. When they did that "We've done this stuff guys, and we need to work on these things but won't share details" post after such a long time with no posts and information updates, I got increasingly more frustrated. That's some more feedback btw. — I want them to communicate more about things to come. No set dates, no promises about things actually making it into a released patch as shown, but small teasers with big disclaimers stating things may change or get scrapped.

GGG please seperate the game forums, some POE 1 players dont seem to care about POE 2 and why would they. I dont play POE 1 and dont care about there events also.

To new POE 2 players like myself this event sounds great except unfair for casuals, but most really dont care its just a helmet. People seem angry not at the event itself but the feeling their game is in the process of being neglected (or already is, just a opinion).


Time to log in and grind, good gaming all.

Sounds fun, but personally would prefer this being hardcore. The penalty isn't sufficient to punish 100% glass cannon builds.

HC would also mean that the pro-streamers don't necessarily win, as they might die (the race would actually be a tradeoff between survivability and damage).

This way it would be much more inclusive to the player community.

One month until 0.2 content update?

Holy f devs, you are really letting all the hype die around poe 2.

All my friends already stopped playing and following this game.

In one month they wont even care what kind of content update you release.

This is not how you should handle an early access game, especially not one that you charge $$ to access.

That event sound great for casual ???
Do you realise what this event actually is for casual ? Normal play of Act 1-3 in SSF mode. Period. Not a single thing different than just normal play of Act 1-3 in SSF mode AND you are frozen for one minute each time you die. So it's even a worse experience...

That's worse than a non-event, that a fart in the general direction of 99% of player base.

That's a "we know you want us to work on 0.2.0, fix crash, fix economy, fix balance, but we will rather work on an event to mobilise the streamer so we could get a good publicity and con more people to buy the EA. We dont care what you want and need, we never did."

Nice!

Nice!

how about an actual event that offers content? Nobody wants to race against no life streamers whose job is to play poe for 300 hours a month. cmon GGG

It says "First to Beat Doryani in Act 3"

That does not take 300 hours, for anyone. Not even you.

Fix the game first.
