3 maps wasted. every time i activate a map, i get disconnected and the map and portals are gone. WTF GGG?
poe is going down fast. Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 have no performance issues. play them instead
Considering I am very generous buying about three hundred dollars worth of mtx a leauge, I must say with all due respect this launch is utter trash.

Why does it take me 5 hours and 9 runs on chamber of sins level 2 getting the baleful gem for 2 hours just to disconnect every time when your npc Helena tells me to port to town.

Why do streamers stay logged in more than your paying customers?

Why cant we have a 1 week soft start then wipe before launch day to address these access issues.

At this point id rather go back to the year 2003 and have a more enjoyable time running molten core nakkid with no gear on.

Cheers.
I'm going back to FF14 because this is a complete and utter failure. piss and moan to your precious streamers.
You guys suck, this a joke. Wasted our Friday night, you made me play league of legends. Cant believe a company like this cant even get a league start done properly.
The league start was obviously bad, but I'm not going to let that define the league for me. Whitelisting streamers was a bad idea in hindsight, but considering you were paying them for this time, I can understand it. It was bad PR move, but I understand it. But enough about that.

The league itself, once I could start playing, is kinda... meh. I don't know how to describe it better. Playing POE is always fun, and I always enjoy the reset, but the league mechanic feels like a shitty version of Ritual. When compared to Ritual, the fights are way harder, even on the first level, and offer less loot unless you're capable of pushing far. But then again, what do I know? I'm not at endgame yet so it could pick up. Kind of of a shame that there were no ascendency reworks or major skill balance changes, but it is what it is.

All in all, the league isn't bad; I just liked Ritual better.
I think it would be better to start leagues mid-week, enabling GGG to fix scalability issues before the weekend rush. That would make sure that players can really play on the first league weekend.

Besides, fixing problems on weekdays is always better, easier to reach third party techs, for example at your hosters.

For the game itself, I have three things to criticize.

1. the moment some skill is budget viable for endgame, GGG nerfs it. The reasoning seems that with super good gear these skills are OP. Many a budget build was killed by this.
Due to the focusing on elite players with elite gear, the endgame is not really accessible for new / casual / less dedicated players.

2. Unpredictable damage splikes.

3. Some encounters cause nasty lag spikes, this could be fixed with a short grace period for content loading, before the actual fight starts.

Still same problem.

Income damage to player is overpowered,hide traps on ground is not see under spell effect.

This league event cant play,because nonstop dead.

New spells is boring.

game became bad. 0 endgame now here. 0 fun now. streaming texture thing is disgusting(for real). even stash looks like soap after enter hideout for some seconds(dont need to mention maps graphics...its...its just became way worse than was used to be). servers still dead and ping spikes as usual.

nerfing fun is NOT an option.
not listening to community is NOT an option
streaming textures is.... not good

no hate speech, its just constructive critic from everyday player for years.

Well the game itself is still free so playing 30-60 mins a few times a week for free is ok instead of paying $$$ for it.

POE2 will be free ? i dont think so....
How I feel, after 7 days.

I leave League on the third day and go to Standart because:
1. Must have the strongest gear to do content.
2. Do not see realistic ways how to obtain this gear.
3. Therefore on StandartLeague - the biggest chat ever.
4. But still lose my interest in the game even in Standart, because do not see the way how to improve my already very improved (but still not ideal) gear.

5. When people do not have an "achievable" goal - the we all (people) lossng motivation to do this.

At yesterday I was trying to persuade myself to start the game.
This is a bad sign.

I afraid to post in a few next days screnshot with: "Game uninstalled".
Why affraid?
Because POE - great game.
I was spend here most time then in any other game, for last two year, and donated $160.
It really disappointing me, if game do not make me happy onward (


.
What need to improve this game:
1. Deterministic craft. Would be expensive? like craft 6links? It - ok. But deterministic.
2. Normal automated trading platform. Will be great if in both directions - WantToSell and WantToBuy.
