What We're Working On

so far so good, enjoying the league :D

GGG you're doing it all wrong and people are gonna leave the game early... But you know better I guess

Playing since 2012 (10 year account anniversary to the day, actually) and gotta say the golden era of PoE seems to have passed. I am really disappointed with the direction you lot have taken with the game these past 2 leagues. It genuinely feels like I'm watching my favorite pass-time die off. I hope I'm very wrong and that the game finds a way to turn it around in the future.

Chris was not tired to make it very clear during the last few league announcements that GGG is not targeting amongst new players but instead feels pretty confident that the players they have will come back every so often that the monetization is safe.

I doubt he would have made those statements while knowing the game drifts in a dangerous spot. They dont want the casual noobs that play an hour or two per week. They want the players that commit to a journey and educate themselves through 3rd party tools and sources. And those are usually no kids anymore but grown adult's that earn money. Reasonable.

The statement that PoE left its golden era might be true but GGG seems to intentionally change the game with collateral damage in mind. They either know that certain things will cause trouble in the community or they do not and dont care much as we all will come back anyway. As long as your friends do and as long as your favorite content creator does, why not you as well.

For PoE things might turn out well this way from league to league but with PoE 2 getting released I think the community will not be as forgiving as they are right now. It will be a complete different story - not indie anymore, dozens of dozens of developers, feedback from dozens of leagues for what players like and what they dont. They have to nail it from the get go without having a chance to fix stuff in five following patches in the first week after release.

PoE 2 will tell us if GGG is capable of delivering to us or not. Until then we all know the rules of the game. 3 Months to the next 5 patches, a couple of weeks to have fun, off time until it repeats.

Yet again, master piece ruined by game devs, what a suprise
Chris needs to go with his "vision" in order to save the game

Getting all your items, maps, currency, etc. from ArchNem rares with very specific modifiers makes the loot "spikey". This causes huge droughts.

LESS drops in a game about DROPS? I don't want to get what you consider "relevant", I want lootsplosions and filter out what I MYSELF consider non-relevant. You really ARE disconnected from the player base. A lot of people have been complaining about not dropping even alchemy orbs in white maps and we get what? Nothing 4 days into the league, not even a slight fix. What a nice league, GGG!

Just delete Archnemesis...

Players also notice that occasionally a Harvest encounter can no result in no Lifeforce dropping.

I'm sorry; can you please repeat that?

Double negatives are for babies and foreigners.

God these past few Leagues already have been mediocre with tons of bugs and the regular 3-4 Patches to be playable. But GGG somehow made it even worse. And ofc they still can't admit bad decisions and post stuff like this, whatever this is

It's worth noting here that a widely-shared clip of a player opening an Arcanist's Strongbox and receiving no items has caused some of the concern about potentially bugged item drops. We believe this was caused by the change where common currency drop less frequently, but in larger stacks, which we made a number of leagues ago. We will fix this specific Arcanist's Strongbox issue.

This makes me feel like you don't know what you are doing.
