Keepers of the Flame - What We’re Working On

Lot's of players started POE1 in 3.26, to be disapointed in 3.27, patch endgame pls.

As a ruthless player, League mechanic needs to be way more rewarding. I miss mercenaries so much, was a lot easier to gear.

They are going to keep nerfing PoE 1, until it becomes PoE2 so that everyone will end up switching, therefore devs only have to work on 1 game

Looking at how they destroyed poe1 endgame with recent nerfs so what no one can say now that poe1 endgame better you might be right. At least GGG probably were thinking "If we make these nerfs and it doesnt work players will always have poe2 to play".

It sure is taking a long time to tweak numbers hey

By the time they're done noone will be playing anylonger

sad

So.... Its next week Tuesday, when do I get loot and have fun again?

issue i have is when your doing ANYTHING and the shaders fail to load, or creatures are invisible, and god forbid boss mechanics are invisible, which by the way i have had happen so many times i have lost count. Been waiting over a week for a full response to the shader issue and nothing, and i see ALOT of people posting about it and other issues that are linked to it all the time with the same lack luster, thank you for informing us we are looking into it..

I am almost sick of waiting for any shred of work on fixing the issue.

Still nothing? Loot is extremely broken right now, its worse than in Bathwater of Kalandra league.

My gosh how can they not see it, every playtester should have reported that after 2 days.

Don't bother, everyone quit already. Too slow.

@GGG - Ok, so, I'm sure you can read the endless comments on nearly EVERY SINGLE POST you guys make complaining about ALLLLLLLLL the nerfs you've made. Both this game and PoE2 have turned into a giant nerf fest. You dont just nerf the things that are broken and performing well above expectations, no....you nerf those things 4-6 different ways until they're completely UNUSABLE - then, for good measure, you nerf a bunch of other things that were performing average or below average. For instance, why didn't Mercs go core? Well, its pretty clear you intend to nerf it into the dirt until its completely unusable. While we all know and understood Doryani's Prototype is too OP on the merc and needed to be nerfed somehow, that is an easy fix. "CANNOT BE EQUIPPED ON MERCENARY" on Doryani's. Done. Problem solved. Mercs are ready for core. Instead of taking a small ballpeen hammer to problems that need solved, you take a sledgehammer to everything and destroy any future use of everything related to whatever is on your chopping block.

That being said, its pretty clear that the community is tired of it. Who is making these decisions? Why do they still have a job? The NUMBER ONE goal of every league should be to outdo yourselves from the last league in one way or another, even if it IS just borrowed power. Thats the glory of leagues, you can make things as ridiculous as you want, and people can have all kinds of fun...and there's never a risk of power creep because you don't have to take those mechanics core, you know, ballpeen hammer and all.

Why has nobody internally at GGG suggested bringing things UP in power/strength/quality to match some of the "overperforming" aspects like skills, ascendencies, passive tree nodes, etc rather than nerfing everything into the ground league after league after league. It's getting to the point where I'm strongly considering uninstalling both PoE1 & PoE2 due to the CONSTANT nerfing of everything, including many of those being things that didnt need nerfed in the first place! WHY ON EARTH WAS LOOT NERFED?!?! I'm tired of being disappointed every single patch because you've decided that several mediocre builds or skills needed to be nerfed into the ground so we can play the same exact meta as last league, except with NO LOOT! Don't even get me started on Kinetic Rain.

You want to know why the league mechanics are becoming so bad? Because you've got your team tied up for 50-70% of the development period nerfing everything into the ground.

I've already stopped buying supporter packs due to the nature of things being nerfed without need or reason, but, I'm very close to giving up on both games and GGG as a whole and moving on to other games - and I'm not alone. Read the forums.
