Improved Hailrake Fight in 1.1.3
|
I just needed to put my two sense in on people complaining about the dev's "fixing the game", or getting things done...
To be honest, I'm not sure what needs to be fixed, but I'll assume that it's ignorance on my part. Consider this. Since the games release back in october we have enjoyed the following: At Release a major content update: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/545523 One Month later, another serious content release http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/606867 Oh look, less than a month later, ANOTHER content release: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/659400 11 days later, HOLY CRAP ANOTHER ONE?! http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/693628 12 days later... http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/719053 about 18 days... http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/748326 another 21 http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/777247 and then about 2 months later we get Sacrifice of the Vaal, a major content addition which inclues two new leagues with a collection of new game mechanics and content additions http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/810698 And a week later, look more content http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/833897 Yes, I'm still going. lets see whats next. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/879291 That took another month, for all that shiny content. And then that brings us to this very thread. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/910311 Now, Keep in mind, there are also weekly bug fix packs that have been coming out as well. They also have upgraded how they can deploy their updates and improve the stability of their systems. Now, I did just realize something. Desync could use some work. That is it. That is the ONLY thing that I think is wrong with the game. Also, keep in mind, this is only post release. This has been going on for a lot longer. This developer, Grinding Gear Games, live up to their name. These developers Grind the every loving crap out of the development on Path of Exile. We see new content, improved graphics and sound, interfaces and more, a little more than once every two weeks. Now I haven't sat down and actually researched this. I am however, 29 years old, have been playing video games since I was 5, have had the internet since I was 6 or 7, and had free reign on computers my entire life. I've always played computer games, probably a little too much in fact. In my experience with video games though, from what I can tell, Grinding Gear games has put out more content in the last 6 months for their game than any other game developer in history. I can't think of one that has even come close. So seriously, be thankful. Buy some crap. They are giving you this game for free, and they are outdoing billion dollar competitor Blizzard, on a shoe string budget. It's absolutely amazing how pathetic they are making them look right now. On the topic of resistances. I think there is a little disconnect in peoples perceptions of this. It may not be so much that players are not aware of elemental damage or that they need to protect themselves from it. I personally think its more that, there are a lot of elements to Path of Exile, and you need to be aware of a lot of them. There is a lot of things you need to make sure you have. A list of things to check, and double check. It is not necessarily easy for everyone to always be fully aware, or even remember to check these things. On the topic of the availability of information about how things work in poe. I played Path of Exile for 2 years before I actually started looking at the wiki. I wasn't aware it existed. I can fully understand how players would be completely daunted by path of exile's systems. Mind you, I love to play rogue likes... and Dwarf fortress. |
