You forgot to remove harvest.


No they didn't. They removed it last patch.


What GGG forgot to remove was the Sacred Grove.....

"We tell people that Path of Exile league starts are a fair playing field for everyone, and we need to actually make sure that is the reality."

A BLATANT LIE by the HMFIIC.
Perhaps GGG should consider a leadership change.

At least performance will improve with 50% less players.

I'm skipping this league and will wait for po4. We had a good run Bio's, but nothing lasts forever.


You have 7 pages of forum posts, all hate/troll/talk about leaving.

WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?

who is this supposed to make happy?


To the 1% maybe

Awfull changes, but nothing surprising comming from Tencent, where the "balance" means all buffing or all nerfing...
,,We want to make game more challanging''
Meanwhile you: Path of building, trade macro, alt tab for trade, buying currency, discord TFT.

...could someone tell me which game got similar requirements ?
It was very delightful reading through this complains, see you all ingame on Friday, cheers.
Would you complain if it was a completely new game (not a new version of PoE)? Stop comparing it to the previous versions and just enjoy.
coooooool !

i dont get why ggg making this stupid changes...


Look, its not about what you like... its what GGG thinks will help player retention. So they try to tone down some of the power creep to make power spikes feel more rewarding and special, and making these power spikes harder to obtain.

So they will keep scaling down the power creep until it gets to a point where player retention is actually suffering because of nerfs. If people keep playing then they will keep nerfing. Backlash on these forums and Reddit mean nothing as long as the players keep playing.

As for nerfs to major crafting mechanics, they happen because of TFT. That Discord is a literal cancer to PoE and a reason why we can't have nice crafting things.


Problem is, their player retention numbers might be severely skewed because of the pandemic. People have quite a bit more playtime and boredom on their hands right now. Once that blows over, I'm pretty sure they'll have a huge player drop, and all these drastic changes will backfire. Wast majority doesn't have the playing time to keep up with the constant trearing down of the game when there is no pandemic on the streets. The only people who benefit are the full-time gamers who are not that big % of the POE population, and are constantly and permanently bored, but can't quit as they make money off the game.
