Remember when GGG said they just didn't have the resources to work on PvP?

There was no mention of pvp in the launch trailer. They talked about maps, crafting, enchanting, socketing.... everything except pvp.

Game over

Chris maybe made a Donald trump on poor afhak. Was he even serious when answering afhak e-mail or he had this face all along...

"num num num oui oui oui, buy my Mtx and I will tell you all you want to ear... *then do the inverse*...nianianianiania!!!! *cat scream in background*

What's the big fuss? I don't see anything we don't already know.

these are the consequences of getting a big company.

i'd be very much surprised if they ever put any effort to pvp from now on(ok they are going to be a different realm)

-this game should have stayed as a side of project of GGG gaming, enthusiastic, only for ARPG try hards, very much late game oriented;

-and they should have started another ARPG project where they were hunting for MTX carnivors. and that is what this game has become.

-there had to be trade cap for every player, every player should be able to do 10 trades max per day, starting out from 3. as you level up the cap gets gradually to 10.

-legacies made everything worse, more monopolies, more inequality and gap between players. they sugarcoat this by saying "we like to reward those who are playing since the start". faaaartt.
then there started a new diversion between players, "i only play leagues", "oh i play standard",
and the league players say most of the time "i cant believe that i'm talking to a standard league player omg, losers"

-

here is what i think:

+the economical structure, the late game, everything structured very bad after ambush league and there is no return.

that said, early game improved greatly, performance as well.

+mirror currency failed hard to regulate monopolies in market, yet they caused more and stronger monopolies one can ever imagine

+eternals created a never ending loop of poverty and RMT cycle for noobs,

+new uniques made it possible for starters to faceroll whole content, yet there is no need for progression in the game anymore. Level requirement of items has to be reworked, some items has to be able to used only after lvl 90- 95 or even 98. so people can keep playing. and feel the progression.

+everything is centered around items, there could be rare gems with great powers too, how you put your links has to be as important as what weapon you are using,there could be ascendancy classes which can be farmed and get as a reward as quest reward. you know what i mean, all power comes from items and from given structure of character optimization tools. we cant farm character optimization elements in this game.

+farming gives never a sense of progression in this game, this is the most utter bullshit about poe,
farm shaper, you lose currency, farm über atziri you lose currency, farm T16, you only lose currency.

+gem / dps and mob strength system fails so hard that they can put everything together with something called reflect, yet the meta is all around clear speed. this puts a cap to all your imaginations, and causes only one few types of viable builds to exist. we are swimming in a see of possibilities, where only few can get viable, thanks to reflect and clear speed meta. verything that opens possibilities to deal with reflect are the most expensive items since the beginning.

+on the other hand, poe became path of DoT damage, if your build doesnt have DoT double dipping, it's not T1 anymore. PvP was all about exploiting the lack of proper programming of skills, Now Pve became one. disgusting. everywhere poison, everywhere some double dipping of some damage.

+awful graphics, still, cause the fundamentals of the graphic engine is old and outdated

play another new game centered around character progression, you will be surprised how awful poe is. that's at least what i think.

I was trying to wait for Chris to confirm I can share this, but I assume he's very busy and doesn't mind I share it:

Chris told me last night PvP will be fully supported on the Xbox version

Will be interesting :)

Sry for the late reaction but i feel like ive been fuck in the ass by GGG. Im sick just to think that ive supported some console peasant shit.

I was expecting nothing from GGG side about pvp but now i think they will even make it worst.This game will turn D3 style cuz reddit will complain that they want the EZ game that console will get (no trade system probably for console so they will boost drop/crafting by a large amount), n u won't feel any reward at all from crafting or building ur own build.

I can't read, any word on cross platform compatability?

[Removed by Support]

I'm beginning to think history may have been a little rash\harsh in it's judgement of you.

Completely different servers because some skills/targeting will work differently. Because of that I doubt any cross platform dueling would happen

As I stated, I can't read so i'll just assume you said no because I doubt GGG could handle something that complex. Anyone know what that bigass green bar on the homepage is about?
