What We're Working On

I remember long ago, streamers used to have fun making a living playing POE.

Now its worse than working a regular 9-5 job.

Basically its just worthless block of text justyfying advertisement at the end KEKW

I think it's fine.

I'm enjoying the game and didn't notice the crying until empy complained about his team not making 5 mirrors on day 2, now reddit is in a total meltdown and it's hilarious.

Why allow your hate of a streamer blind you to how terrible this league is

I'm sub to empy because I like his content. I can also see he plays a different game than 99.9% of people, you shouldn't get offended at missing out on something you'd never have anyway.

Yeah but you have to remember the average player gets a tiny fraction of what his team gets. Think of it in terms of money. Lets say the average player gets $10 a map, whereas his team gets $100,000. If empys team is not getting $100 per map, the average player is only getting 1c

true.

I really don't know what to say. I have around 15.000 hrs played... but this league is one of the worst!

Archnemesis on Red Maps are fine? I got Determination, Defiance Banner, Granite Flask, Evasion Flask, 100% Spell Suppression, 100% Elemental Ailment Avoidance - but here I am still getting randomly 1 shot from Magic Monsters and Rare Monsters. How much Defense am I supposed to have?!

Harvest Crafts were removed and you didn't even consider to mention what crafts were removed? At this point you could just remove Harvest for good. The Reforge more likely or keep suff / pref crafts were kinda mandatory in order to have depth to the crafting system. Now it is just once again back to RNGjesus to bless the Crafting... and it would have been fine, if you could play the game properly with the gear you could aquire at the start, but u can't.

Loot changes? And even that wasn't worth to mention in the Patch Notes or the Development Manifesto? Who are you? Blizzard or EA Games? What happened?

And after all that, the double down on what you did. I can't.

I am sad and mad. Archnemesis is garbage, don't like it and won't like it.

Please fix the game.

I understand that in order to be addictive (thus to generate revenue), every game has to be rewarding and frustrating at some point, but this patch simply took all the fun away. There's no reward at all.

I understand Chris' desire of designing his own game, but sometimes you have to admit that things just went in another direction for good. If this other directon turned out to bring more players and therefore revenue, just be happy with it. The results are visible to everyone. 3.13 was the patch where most people had fun, you barely found people complaining for reasons other than performance issues, despite all the controversies about Harvest. I liked old Harvest but I can understand some people not liking it and it's fine.

This game requires a very active and promoting playerbase because is very complex. I don't see new players engaging in trying hard if it's not because of other experienced players, and all these changes have done nothing but driving experienced players away.

I've been playing since beta and for me:

- Harvest was the best mechanic (not league) introduced to the game, and reached its best incarnation in 3.13
- Archnememsis was probably the worst

Needless to say, I really don't like the current trajectory. SSF is miserable this league as the progression is mostly just hoping for an upgrade to drop - no thought or planning required.

Did you really just plug MTX Lootbox in the middle of basically telling everyone, "fine, we'll adjust things *a little* even though this is exactly what we want, to include intentionally misleading you guys?"

you have got to be kidding me.

So much feedback on a simple post :)


Waiting for the nerf to come and planning to ascend mercenary lab by end of September.
