I'd say told ya so but my advice didn't work this time as clearly my expectations weren't low enough and even I'm left disappointed by the 0.5 preview.

Guess we know why we didn't get those gameplay teasers now. I wonder which of the video shorts had hidden within it the secret message to be decoded that we weren't going to get much more than a few hundred new junk loot drops to filter out unless spending 90% of time in game playing inventory manager was what we were crossing our fingers for.

Lol play a different game if you can't find anything to get excited about in the absolutely gigantic update they dropped.

That's the plan. I sincerely hope that you find something among they many things they stuffed into this gigantic update that no one seemed to ask for, that no one was predicting or getting hyped about, that didn't add the things that many were hoping for, that keep it a fun and engaging game for you.

It's always the people like you (new players that jumped into the new fotm game and never supported anything) that come with these dumb takes, they hardly could drop a better update than this, ye people wanted swords etc (wich i have a feeling that we might have a surprise) but it's literally like expecting 10 dollars and recieving 1000, anyone playing this game seriously wanted more crafting options and more affixes, more depth to the builds and they delivered that tenfold, everyone wanted late game objectives and goals and they killed it in every way possible, everyone wanted more specialization in the endgame and they literally quadruple or more the atlas tree and even added atlas "ascendancies", dozens of new skills that are nor locked to a weapon (just this alone will open so many builds).

The game is finally on tracks and on it's way to be a worthy sucessor of PoE 1 and most of you are just a bunch of ungrateful pricks, theres no other studio giving so much while asking for so little.

I have no idea how the heck some of you guys are saying they didn't change enough. I get not all content being for everyone, but almost every single end game system has been changed in some way, how the HECK is that nothing to you guys?

Building something like "storyline" on top of something people do not like (and keep saying there is no endgame for 1.5 years now) is not an "endgame rework", especially when it took so long (they promised endgame rework previous league). Endgame is still the same, even more tedious now. GGG did huge work im not denying that, but its not for me.

Exactly - just adding more and not fixing the underlying base endgame while being wowed by the changes is a bit odd..

Like, its great adding more to the game, I don't think anyone has bad to say about that, but to only get this and not get any meaningful changes to the core concept of mapping is gonna leave players wanting (still). Not a hard concept to grasp.

I will play through this league, get to endgame, and likely bail after not too long. I figure will be the same for many unless there is some additional draw like last league with making tons of divs crafting or running temple. I don't think new runes or endgame quests are gonna cut it frankly.

Holy...

first of all the core mapping hasnt been bad for like 2 leagues now, you can say that the atlas needed more interesting stuff to find (wich they added a ton of it), but the actual mapping is way better than PoE 1 (been playing that for like 14 years btw) wich is completely retarde atm with everyone picking 1 map and running the same map for 2 months straight without any changes or critical thinking, just brain turned off.

Then you talk about the mapping being bad and that new crafting systems, runes and all the shit that they added not being interesting while you praise the temple wich was the most retarded shit they ever added in PoE 2, literally no brain farming divines just for the sake of it, you are the problem, you dont want an actual game, you just want to accumulate currency in the easiest and most booring way possible.

It's the same infinite atlas as before but with a mini endgame campaign before it.
They didn't change map layouts or give players more agency in the endgame. It's still the same issues as before

Ho shut it already, infnite atlas is the best thing they could have ever done, enough with the retarded meta of running dunes/jungle valley for 2 months straight, the layouts arent as bad as some people try to make them, especially after being changed to kill boss to complete, and youre straight up lying about not giving the players more agency, they literally quadrupled or more the atlas tree and mechanic trees and even gave us atlas "ascendancies", youre just hating for the sake of it, just dont play it and quit nagging.

are you one of those people that ran a map you didn't like for months on end?
where are these people? are we sure they exist? at worst you'd run a map you hate for a day or two until you can move the cards over to your preferred maps.

infinite atlas is pure ass

Goodness gracious someone woke up on the defensive side of the bed today. I am grateful to GGG for their allowance of pretty free and open criticism of PoE2 on their early access game forum.

I take comfort knowing that vaunted experienced players such as yourself who know better what's fun look rather forward to the further shift towards PoE being an actionless inventory management game and slot machine simulator, err I mean allowing more 'crafting options,' that is how you put it yes?

I'll cross my fingers for you that you get just the right drop you were hoping for by the 100th clear and that you can find it amongst the mess on the ground, or that without too much time spent shopping you can find someone selling it. When you hit that combine button, I'll be there with you in spirit and cheer you on when 1 out of 2000 times you get just what you were hoping for.

Anyway, when you finally get that item you were hoping for...there's not much I can do for you, because the actual core gameplay has gone out the window and is an increasingly unbalanced mess that will just keep getting worse the longer they ignore it.

Lol I'm literally going to knock off my 40 challenges and finish all the new questlines and have a great time. You can go play Marathon or something I guess.

My unasked for opinions. I've played PoE for a long time over many seasons. I have liked PoE2 from the start but it's a work in progress. I havent played every PoE2 season for super long and generally have found engaging with the endgame to be lackluster at best and it just doesnt quite hold me like PoE1. With that said, I think i enjoyed this last league more than any other.

I know people wanted lots of stuff but I'm beyond excited. I love the campaign and having quests and infinite atlas and other such things is just super exciting. I cannot wait to play Gorilla build and I also want to try new monk and even a Culling Witchhunter or something. I'm so excited i couldnt even play other games yesterday, it's driving me crazy. I fully believe they are doing exactly what they need to do. We will always want more and not every patch can be super to everyone but this is a metric ton they dropped aside from new classes/swords etc. GGG in my opinion has NOT always got it right on patches and updates and other things. But nobody does. GGG DOES however always make fixes/updates etc. Moreso than any other game i've played. You can tell they are passionate. It is an extremely complicated thing to put together.

It's ok to be disappointed by things and it's even ok not to play a season if you don't think there is anything in it for you. You dont play to make other people happy but you.

They need to hear the bad things and things people dont like. I would argue that's all they probably hear and dont get enough praise often enough as most jobs go lol. We should of course still be civil to each other I think anyone posting on the forums in one way or another enjoys the game and wants it to be good but we all get frustrated here and there.

Remember Swords are coming. New classes are coming. New stuff is coming and it's going to be glorious. I'm excited to see where it goes and how they make me play longer and longer each season.

So ready for launch already!!

Yikes. Everyone needs to calm down. No need to start flaming people for what they like or don't like. It's cool to disagree, but the name calling just isn't cool. Especially the 'r' word you guys are using.

They use the R word because the complains ARE that bad and uncalled for in most cases.
