3.19.0c Patch Notes and Update on Community Feedback

Players: We want less items!

Also Players: Why no items!?

Just never ends.

Got the boys together was time to try group play..... they all quit and im thinking of doing the same.

At this point the league mechanic is "What Lake?" It in itself, may not even be that bad. It could be that Sent was so damn good that im spoiled. It was smooth and super rewarding.

So I figured ya skip the lake cool. Just farm maps.... nope. Nope.

I have had the most stressful year of my life. I chose to play POE over FFXIV for my birthday vacation.

I am more stressed now than before my vacation.


Look up En Masse Entertainment. They were a company beloved by their players until they stopped caring about their playerbase for business reasoning. They refused to listen, and kept making horrible changes.
They went defunct in under 2 years of that practice.

yeah, game is definately not in the right place, GGG.

-you crippled crafting (divine change plus harvest nerfs)
-you made mapping obsolete (loot)
-you obv did not test anything before releasing it (as usual)
-you dont even understand the community and game anymore nor do you seem to care

(oh, and you kicked std and ssf in the face as usual)


man, this is depressing as fck and tbh all i see are minor bandaids



Ps:

(to anyone quitting: i need a great recombinated grasping mail on std)

This is too little, and for many it is too late.
You've cashed in your good faith bucks.
Most likely wont be playing league anymore, at least not till 3.19.0.d or .e, which is sad because of how cool Lake of Kalandra could be.
Will also be hard pressed to play during launch weekend next league.
It hurts to see a game I've loved for so long take such a huge dip in quality.

Come on GGG you can do better, where the hell is the MTX advert in this patch note?

POE should be about FINDING loot first especially early game and then as you progress through maps crafting becomes more and more important.

GGG needs to look at what makes a game fun not what makes it harder. Seriously need to look at the whole socket/colors link thing. It adds almost nothing to the game other than annoyance

DROPS?
12-15% less life? Now we gonna kill just one archnemesis not 3 minutes but 2,5 min?
Wtf where is mystery box AD then?

I love the new loot system.

Having hundreds of currency items with only a couple of maps feels so hollow. I truly love the impact of struggling with currency. No sarcasm. It feels nice to have tons of alchemy orbs and chisels, for that you never have to care about juicing your maps and wasting as you see fit, but ultimately took the joy from drops. Everything that wasn't a 5+ chaos drop, felt like poo. Now I can even smile when an alchemy or scouring orb drops again.

I truly mean it, please keep this change. Even if a bunch of people dislike it. It really helps the economy flourish again. Too much inflation is never good!

Once we get hardmode, maybe you can slightly increase currency drops again, but until then I really love it this way.

Keep it going GGG, I like the current vision. Please don't listen to all feedback, just the constructive one, but I know that you have been precise with that in the past few years.

You are killing the game and it seems that you don't care, only your testers will play if you continue like this, probably only they think that the game is good like this and that's because you pay them.

I'm QA Engineer and I can assure you that in this profession you tend to be emocionaly disconnected from the product. For the sake of sanity. From my experience - testers can scream 'this product is bs, please, stop hurting our clients' and nothing will happen. Because (in most cases) the most important group who makes the decisions are not devs or testers, but product owners from marketing or sales.

So... killing of the product is made with developers hands, with screaming testers and cries of sales people (who need to sale the product and get the money that marketing department promised).
