How Secrets of the Atlas Launch Went

Please fix spectra shield throw piercing targets when it shouldnt :<

I don't believe a word you say. Any good will is gone since league launch last year. If you stand by your word and actually do good then you'll get some of the good will back.

So far this league launch has been terrible. Servers in Europe has been absolutely terrible for months. The phrecia event had terrible servers, disconnects and rollbacks. Nothing quite like this launch though. The balance is completely non-existent for the mercenaries. Friendly auras affecting them when battling them, to oneshots left right and center.

I have not seen anything that would make me believe that you have "gotten your shit together" as Jonathan said.

WORST PATCH EVER. THANKS GGG THAT YOU'VE PUT A FALSE HOPE ON YOUR WHOLE COMMUNITY THAT YOU MAKING AT LEAST SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ALMOST A YEAR.
ARE YOU EVEN TESTED YOUR GAME?

Stop saying to the community about DDOS attack, we aren't dumb. The same DDOS was on POE2 patch release, Phrecia, Private league in POE1 and for more than 4 months you're done nothing.
You don't do nothing with your server infrastracture for years. FOR YEARS WE ARE FACING WITH PROBLEMS ON THE LEAGUE START

Another crash on EU server with rollback. WHY MY STASH NOT ROLLING BACK WITH JUICED MAPS, WHY MY INVENTORY BEING CLEARED AND PORTAL BEING CLOSED ONLY? Give my divines from map back, give me my completetion maps back, give me my time back.

Currently the leading issue we’re looking to address with the league is that a number of Mercenary skills, especially once you get to the middle of the campaign start to deal overwhelming amounts of damage to the player, often instantly killing you, you should expect a patch in the near future that puts all these skills more in line. This will not affect the Mercenary balance when they are your ally.

Hire QA on make developers TEST WHAT THEY'VE CREATED. How it's even possible that EACH league you are facing with the same issue that league mechanic is overpowered and killing players.

What about party farm? GGG don't want to say something regarding this buff when Empy party farming for 5-6 T0 Uniques from 1 ritual, Hmmm? Why solo MF bad but Party farm is good? GGG, don't you answer?

And one more, I would say a secret but patches should come in 2-3 days after league start, not after 1-2 weeks as you always doing.


Finally, I would say thank you GGG. Thank you that you saved my money not to buying support pack, thank you that I could find some time on playing other games, thank you that you've created a hope (unfortunatelly, you've steal it).
It's hard to belive that one of the best game dev company became like this and lost all the trust that you've earned in less than a year.

"Trust is hard-earned, easily lost, and difficult to reestablish."
Congratulations GGG, you've done it.

Thanks for the update. Is there any word on the constant client disconnects? Is this related to the DDoS attacks? What's the timeline for fixing this issue?

ok bro ddos bro ok xDDDDDDDDDDD

DDOS oh yes it's like 1997 again

Fix Roses New Pinaccle Boss : It seems that the roses are bugged in the instance when you die and the mechanics don't work. Then Eagon does not return the quest from memory and you have to connect to another server to redo the boss and lose the rewards.

DDOS is still on going as you post this.

Been kicked from 4 maps. Roll backed each time.

Think its time for a break until you either sort it out or hire out more servers or something.

Can you pls also look into what is crashing the game
and also dont change our settings for us? Right after the change from Vulkan to DX12 im started to crash on any render engine again. Before Vulkan was just fine for me besides weird graphics sometimes (last league, no issues on start)

Great post, and yes getting one shot in the campaign was not fun, I guess it wont be in end game either but at least in story mode (tutorial) it seems a little harsh.
