Game Balance in Path of Exile: Expedition

How do I remove a post ? DOH

Started the league late to check the overall changes impact. Made it to the first Sirus kill, had enough, thank you. The average number of players 3 weeks into the league says it all.

I started this league for old time's sake but enough is enough.
I missed old POE: every single unique has a value, farming alts without currency tabs, selling them without currency tab....
Yes then the game was rewarding now just bunch of 0s and 1s shift+delete it better. This game lose its soul long ago!.
If you want to improve the game improve the game mechanic dont give pain in trade or playing, instead give joy and fun! dont give privilages to some group of ppl this wont give fun to players. How come you dont get this basics. Every developers get head inquiries?

Changing values of some variables is NOT DEVELOPEMENT its called ADJUSTMENT. Stop adjusting values ,nerfing everyhing every league and call it league! start to think creative as you were before years ago. Leave your burdens behind. JUST WAKE UP!

When do we get the manifesto telling us why we are not having fun? Too rewarding? We don't understand the mechanics? Id love to know why 60% of players left game already, and now even the most die hard POE streamers have an extremely negative view of the game now.

And more people are starting to leave the game . Since on steam it's already at -26,262.5 ( -66.39% )

At least the d2r is coming out, there will be a place to go. The current changes have squeezed me out of the game and what's worse, the rate of weakening will only increase.

This developer manifesto did not age well....3.15 is a complete disaster.
Any successful business should know you should never alienate your core customer base regardless of which direction you choose to go.

Just go back to 3.14, admit what a colossal mistake it was, salvage what remaining fan base remains, and hope most players will comeback before their departure all become permanent.

I've been away for a league or two at this point, but I was kind of excited to make a return with the coming of Expedition. After watching trailers and a few streamers, I gotta say I'm really surprised by the direction GGG chose. It's like they decided to accelerate themselves into the downward slide WoW developers took around 4 years ago. Literally. Just compare the changes they've made. I know enough to not waste my time. I've got plenty of other interests that will actually be fun. Even watching streamers attempt to adjust their play to this league is painful.

Not bothering till rngesus on some mechanics are way better.

Lab still sucks. Great you made it semi worthy except you know for the random rubberbanding you never fix. It's stupendous this game has no rollback for netcode and infrastructure you leave as crap. Not bothering the deaths aren't worth it after I get my ascendancies. Put in limited life mechanic I might try but I won't bother anymore unless I need ascendancy. There's no point for most players who don't have mega speed builds which you've been nerfing over the years. It's one the the dumbest designed things. So many enchants but very few rolls, it's functions as a slot a machine from hell. In all of my time ever using it's given me 3 enchants for the builds I was using. A player should not be going in with helmets or boots for trade to make this place worth it on enchants. You make twice enchanted rare so it's not reliable for silver coin farming and it's not cheap to buy. If you put as much efforts in to mapping or bosses like you do lab traps this game might have something to speak for.

Big drops still suck so no matter where I get in the game it feels pointless to progress. Didn't bother trying this season cause I no it won't get any better.

You made little currencies not suck but most of the faults that I have now had for a few leagues are still there.

Can't believe Diablo 3 is more inviting to play than this. You seriously need to rethink what you are doing. I'm sick of hearing about PoE2 and being nerfed for a product you failed to launch last year. I'm sick of the effort needed to play your end game and knowing your rngesus is some of the worst out there when I get there. Rngesus is way worse than wow classic or any rpg I give my time too.

Keep acting like blizzard people can go elsewhere. I am.

I won't be jebaited till PoE2. Seriously I only touched your game cause you added force move after how long. Not everyone is playing for the same reasons.

I tried the new league. Still playing it, trying to figure out the fun. Haven't made any cash purchases recently and will not if I can't find value. So far, Expedition is horrible. If it goes core, that will totally suck, as Ultimatum was way better.
