Issue in Heist league for the console Players.

Im very Hyped for the new league. But Theres a big issue in the league Mechanic for the console Players.

So you lose all Items of you die in a heist. But what Happen of you Crash ? The console still has massive Performance/Crash issue and i dont think that the actual State of the Game will work with the „lose everything of you die Mechanic“

Yea thats my biggest Problem too.

Also as far as iv seen it in the trailers there was only one portal to the heists?

So even if you dont die or fail on a crash we still lose everything? If thats the case this will probably the first time i skip a leauge.

Beside from that the mechanic itself looks super fun.

Of course no answer as always!

It is discouraging that the console community has become so complacent with bluescreening that instead of demanding or waiting for a fix that we know won't come at this point, we ask "what happens when i crash?" During a new league mechanic instead of "when is the bluescreen plague going to be addressed and seriously acknowledged and worked on transparently. PLZ FIX

Yo folks. You can reduce dramatically the crashes if play without sound. (Maybe with soundtrack only)

Is not the best way, but seems the only way you can play for now...

The question was addressed in the second Q&A FAQ post here

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2932732

"If I'm disconnected, will I be able to rejoin my Heist?
Only if the alarm has not gone off."

So it sounds like it'll be fine, unless of course you blue screen after the alarm has been triggered, or if you die during the disconnect, or if when you reload the game your instance was lost :) Still better than nothing though.

Wow thats so stupid!

Simple question: What you think when will we crash mostly.... Before the alarm is triggerd and there are only a few patrols running arround or after the alarm is triggerd and there are hundreds of mobs spawning endless?

Personally I've just contacted Sony directly saying that we aren't going to spend any money on mtx (meaning Sony don't get their cut) until the game is improved.

Realistically though, there's nothing that can be done. If you think that the bluescreens aren't caused by hardware limitations then idk what to tell you. Ps4 is 7 years old now and the ps5 comes out this year. GGG won't spend time and money trying to fix something that is beyond fixing when they're obviously just going to pull poe from ps4 as soon as ps5 launches.

It's sad that our only apparent hope for a solution to crashes is buy a next gen console at however many hundreds of pounds or whatever your local currency is.

While I am sure Jeff and his team are trying their best we still get the crashes and blue screens with no apparent improvement. I can only speak for myself but Harvest was a lot worse for me in terms of blue screens that any previous league I have played on a ps4 /sigh.

I didn't stop playing the league because I was bored of the league I stopped because I was frustrated with crashes. Not good.

I hope that when we get some official next gen console launch dates that GGG will in turn be a bit more open with their next gen plans too.

ya, you are just going to lose it when you crash.

Console really needs to be treated differently than PC in regards to crashing. Nothing worse than logging back in after a blue screen and seeing 10% less XP than you had before the crash and losing lab progress or whatever portal if there was only 1.

But they don't want to do anything about it unfortunately.

DING DING DING! You just asked AND inadvertently answered your own question!

Make no mistake, You think running around the Eternal labyrinth, collecting keys, extra auras and plucking down those lovely Abberarach Bulbs, Dedications, Gifts and the Tributes to juice up your Lab, only to have it crash was shitty, well be prepared to to swallow a mouth full shit because according to the ZiggyD YT video on the mechanics, holy shit will you lose a lot of stuff you put time into crafting up your "heist"

Dude, I see nothing put pure frustration and angry players, but lets be real for a moment, is their console port along with it's community really bringing in the fraction of the revenue of it's PC counterpart?

The Bluescreen issue has been going on since day one, a year and a half since release and it's not getting any better, not getting much worse as well which leads me to think that this is something related to the hardware and I am willing to bet that this might have had something to do with the delay of the launch for like 4-6 months IRC.
Both Pro and OG consoles experience this issue.

I'm going to play this League...on PC.
PS4 players, you may want to wait this one out...

There is a reason why HC is a ghost town on PS4.
