However, i'm glad that GGG is following some of the best industry practices of small incremental changes with constant iterations.

Their track record show that everything ends up for the better.

Their track record got us here, To one of the most fusterating weekend in gaming history. almost as bad as D3 launch.

Every change they have made in 18 months as been going toward this weekend. 3.20 is gonna be the REAL SHIT SHOW.

ok, I'll give it another try

GGG is again missing the point.

Most players HATE Archnemesis.

Most players HATE the way you gutted Harvest.

Most players HATE the ninja nerf to drops.

How could you do the divine currency change and remove the option to divine items via Harvest?
That alone shows complete lack of planning ahead and you didnt even address it.


I can drone on forever. But like many other players, I am done.

Goodbye and thanks for the fish.

And by most, you mean the vocal minority.

huh, rly?


p.s.:sorry about politics, but ur answer is exact the same, that russians use to argue about anti-authoritarian riots in discussions :D

Your screenshot just proved the the other point 150-80 =70. How is 70k a majority. Also this is this only Steam? You do realize there are like at least 50k+ not on Steam.

This will hopefully stop the early mapping starvation of alchemy orbs and vaal orbs.

Unfortunately this does not address three of the major issues introduced with the league.

#1: Almost all endgame crafting used reforge keep suffix/prefix at one point in the process, and without it we are back to pulling the gambling lever for even endgame gear which feels horrible. Even a "remove random prefix/suffix" anywhere in the game would fix this (Eldritch annul doesn't work in 80% of cases)

#2: Juicing your maps with extra league content still doesn't add much in terms of loot. So it still appears that the only viable endgame content is bossing. You spent years making juiced mapping feel good, and now you pool the rug on the entire thing and throw scraps back. It does not feel good. Add 25% currency to the Empyrian loot showcase to illustrate the point.

#3: Archnemesis monsters just suck to fight against. When it is completely random is the monster is a pushover or a 2 minute fight, and it is completely random if you get good loot or 200 armour scraps it does not feel good. The power spikes are random and too high, and it is not worth the effort.

League was 12 steps back and now 3 steps forward. Changes are good, but more seems to be needed.

The game state is so, so bad and this doesn't address that. Just remove archnemesis from core and revert loot, the game feels like complete garbage.

I've given up and uninstalled, it feels like there's no hope for poe2 if they're this out of touch and I'm really tired of beta testing bad content

"We have massively increased the rarity bonus for items dropped by monsters with multiple Archnemesis mods. This is proportional to difficulty, so there's a moderate improvement for two mods, a large improvement for three mods and a huge improvement for four mods. "

The most anoying thing at the moment is when you face a rare which has 2 of the same kind of defencive modifiers, in my case lightning. It takes 2 min to kill that and the only thing it drops is 2 pieces of some random blue gear.

Coming buffs to rarity of items related to the amount of mods these rare have is good and let's hope it is enough. Still I would like to see some kind of grouping in these mod so they wouldn't be so punishing for single element builds. For example:

Mod group 1: Damage mods
Mod group 2: defence mods
Mod group 3: utility mods
Mod group 4: any of the above

This way we would't afce these tanky rares so early on.

We need reforge keep prefix/Suffix back like in a currency form or harvest this just isn't going to do.

When I start to get bored of POE I waste all my currency making insane items to try a new character that easily gives me a good month more playtime, without this way of repairing my filled suffix/prefix there is no way I will spend my currency on essence spamming on bases when a nice set of t1 mods on a prefix/suffix are like 1 in 20000 It's the frustating part of a craft...

Surely someone working at your company has tried crafting some decent gear before

This is good, fuck those guys who want multiple Squires dropped in one map. I hope they never come back. That kind of gameplay has no place in the game.

shouldn't you be buying more mtx instead of commenting

If more people spent time playing the game, than propagating hate on the internet just because some streamer is not getting 2000c profit per map, things would have been much better.

I had absolutely no problem in terms of difficulty and drops, which is visible from my profile.

Yes, mobs are harder. Yes Drop is less. Can we adapt to it? Yes.

Glad for u, not every one have 20 hours per day to play video game, why should we adapt for this garbage, when even the best players quit game? Always curries why people tolerate when someone shit on their head. If u like this masochistic way of thinking, don't get surprised when someone disagrees with this.

Drops and mobs was 2 things we get in our face since 3.15. We're swimming in trash since that time, every league. Minnor quol changes in game with design from d2 vanilla, still no comfortable trade, still need to click on every piece of junk, and in this league we need to take even more, cause the only way to get some money is c-recipe of course if we talk about mapping and not heist. We still for some crazy reason have stupid scrolls for portals and identifying items, instead of normal design like in last epoch where garbage items drops identified and just filtered away. Not working defenses except for spell suppression, and they desperately nerf this only one. Our precious creeps die and cannot one-shot players, OH NO nerf stupid players!

I can continue this shit fest for 2 pages of a4 and the main point i even bothered to say it - we have rights for our opinion, u like it, u deserve your hard mode and should get it when u want it, we don't like it and somehow people who think this need to be changed is more, so its only fair that u and people who like the game as it is now get your hard mode, and we get our POE BACK AS IT WAS. Or we can simply drop the game and few people like you that like to suffer will play alone, this game die, and it ends.
