Update on Server Issues, Compromised Accounts and Visual Flickering

Totally appreciate that you are fixing those issues, but can you please address the elephant in the room which are mercenaries are still absolutely pooping on you ~90+. Its not a skill issue. Hundreds of posts stating the same, creators getting 1-shot, do you need more data, just hoping that a fix is in the works. I have been having fun, but it just feels really bad when trying to get a merc that either has good stuff that you want or to have them join you. Please fix.

WOW!!!, maybe we'll finally be able to play the game like normal people.

Visual flickering and shader problems are as old as the oldest craft,
This problem exist for at least +5 years.

Blight is currently unplayable, Every time there are more than 100 monsters, the game turns into a lightshow.
Gets a bit hectic?? Sometimes I fear that I will have an epileptic attack!!!

Thx for info about crashs and latency/fps problems!

I engage with every single merc in every map I run. Since the patch I have been one-shot only once, in a juiced map (they get map mods too), from an absolution merc. It was my fault. I juiced the map. I have seen absolution mercs in less juiced maps and they don't one shot.

I don't have any evasion, no spell supression, and I rely on max resists of 83 to soak up the elemental damage. So anyone complaining they are being one-shot by a merc is undergeared or over-juiced in a map.
That is called Risk-Reward. If they don't have items you want, you don't need to fight them. So you take a risk to get the reward. Complaining about it to try get it nerfed is taking away any risk, which will mean they have to reduce the reward. Then people will complain they have no rewards (which they already are in this thread which is just gibberish as I've made many divs from mercs).

You can't please all of the people all of the time. So I say, sod those people, let GGG set the lay of the land and if 10% of the people complain then 90% of the people are happy.

can you guys look into the intel engine multithreading issues? mostly newest intel gen (ultra 9 285k+ ultra 7 265k) but some older ones have problems too since the league patch and the 0.2 poe2 patch. whatever you guys changed in the 0.2 and 3.26 patch doesnt work well.
without it enabled the cpu doesnt spike, with it enabled it spikes extremely, even just in the login screen
there were 0 issues with it enabled before 3.26 and 0.2


engine multithreading on vs off
it was like off part chart before the 0.2 and 3.26 patch but while it was enabled

I have 60% bloodnotch, 90 max res, 65% phys taken as fire, 80% reduced crit damage, 7400 hp pool, 70/70 block with glancing blows and imagine i'm getting oneshotted by merc on a WHITE t16 MAP from time to time. Don't tell people about defences, please. Or do we all have to play voided valdo setups or scion armour stacker mirror+ in each slot in order not to die from this crap?

Compromised Accounts
There have recently been an increased amount of reports regarding players having their accounts compromised. We've looked into as many reports as we could, and will continue to do so, however we have found no evidence of any kind of security breach on our end. If you're not already, we strongly recommend using secure and unique passwords. If you login through Steam but previously used the Standalone client, your email and password is still a valid login method and you should ensure this password is secure and unique.

Hey you guys.

When're you finally going to allow us to use 2FA apps (e.g. Ente Auth) to secure the accounts many of us have spent thousands of euros on?

I swear, only GGG could be so feckless and inattentive to tell us that responsibility for account security lies at the feet of the individual account owner - all while depriving us of the option to use any kind of modern security feature whatsoever.

It is 2025. Get with the program, tyvm.

no one believes its DDoS lol fix your servers

3rd week in the League - and you guys only saying that you "continiu" to investigate all that kind of problems you have.

Why this sounds more like a players/customers problems with no reason?

3rd week in - jesus, its almost an "end" for usual "good" leagues, i can't say that Mercenary is a good league, or even average one.

A lot of people already leaved game until next league because of servers issues in first week, and many people gonna leave in 5-7 days.

And you saying that your problems with servers/performance/security - only in mid-part of a solving.

I have no words to describe it.

At the same time - you have that in-game global message - about supporter packs, that popping on every 30 min or so - seriously?

Yep sure, you guys have been under ddos attack for 5 years, totally believable
