too late. i unnistal yr game. Gl with yr product chris, cos i dont like what you do with it.

Hey Chris, how bout you revert all these awful, stupid, and poorly made decisions because you hate fun and just release Hard Mode so you can fuck everyone over there instead?

No one wants these changes, and those that do are hardcore enough that the game is their job and we're never affected anyways. You have rolled up your sleeve and shoved your fist up the ass of every single player not at that level. These changes are you inching it in further because you despise your player base that isn't hardcore enough for you.

POE has become a game I recommended to everyone and praised it for being an amazing ARPG with never ending build choice to being complete dogshit that's now designed for racers, streamers, and content creators who want Hard Mode.

I dont know about this one, as a 10-year long player of PoE - this league was over the top, and this will be the first league since Breach league that i will sit out.

Thing is - GGG is not going to revert these changes. I really dont see myself coming back. Huge change for me, HUGE.

GG

you do know that if you multiple 0 bi a 500000 it's still a 0. killing your own game good call.

at this point where poe is, even diablo immortal or wolcen looks fairly decent in comparacent

useless

looks like PoE is fully Path of Exile now, these changes got me exiled from PoE again xDDD

TRUE.

If you nerf mob dropped loot by ~90% and then buff the remaining 10% up to now 12.5% of what it used to be - this is bad. Like, REALLY bad.


Balance in rewards between the different leagues is completely out of whack.

High end crafting is completely dysfunctional with all the complexity you built up over the last decade seemingly being pointless now.

Why do you try to do this to the base game instead of creating hard mode like you planned a few months ago?

It's unthinkable that live service looter game running for many years with an established player base suddenly nerfs loot by 90%, refusing to go back down, and does not implode from the backlash and bleeding current players.

That alone would have killed ANY similar game I've played, even without AN and all the other unpopular decisions you keep pushing.


This is so baffling.


I do consider PoE a masterpiece in complexity sadly unrivaled in the genre today, but thinking you can pull this off and people will in the end realize you're right and the game is better years from now... I don't know man, pride comes before the fall, and destroying the version of the game that many loved dearly because your creative leads are confident it's the right thing in the long term...

Recent steam reviews down to 42%. If this keeps up, it will hurt.
