What Happened with Items

remove archnemesis for god's sake
no loot
few builds are playable, mostly dead af, i don't want to play the same build over and over again as pohx does with RF.
defensive layers are a big lie
each league > more CPU,GPU,memory,.. issues same things and still unplayable 0fps

DONT REMOVE FUN FROM THE GAME.do you ever play your game ????
you were better when you were fewer developer

don't work harder on MTX than actual things.
everything f'ed up after kirac's vault announcement from the beginning

IT'S NOT A POKER GAME DEVS WE DONT NEED GAMBLE ON EVERYTHING
FUN IS A TRUE THING IN ALL GAME BESIDE SOME DIFFICULTY THAT THE GAME HAVE WITH IT'S END GAME

Who cares about "gap" between a white map and a fully juiced map, ww all want to finish the league doing the hardest map that our builds can do. look at the market prices of the items, there's no items in the market, we need items to drop in order to make them more common to get them low in prices for the newbies in the game. the same goes for carfts, it's almost day 7 and there's NONE very great craft in the market, that means the first one is going to cost more than a mirror and so on, the economy is fkd up, 3.18 was one of the best leagues i've played in this game in 5 years. the word "nerf" means "-5%" ; -10% ; -20% of something... not what you did, you guys gave us a 100% nerf in the fun! Revert the changes!

Chris, several of your statements here are outright incorrect.

You did not make an error by using the word "Massive". The backlash related to that came form understanding the effect of the bonus that was removed when it was clearly, and accurately, explained by a knowledgeable streamer.
Claiming responsibility for the error is a start, but the problems are NOT fixed as you have claimed.


I LOATH this new loot system at a conceptual level. The only way to get loot now is to repeat the exact same T1 map forever with forced loot template drops, or look for a lottery rare mob. The best way to find such a rare monster is 3rd party programs to scan the map with a mob mod filter, and open a new map when you dont have it, the way we all used to do in Diablo 2 to avoid the cow king.
I have strings of awful luck, I never want to experience 400 maps in a row without finding the one mob that has all my loot.

Your team made too many changes at the same time, and NONE of them were thoroughly tested and put into a good place as a result of the lack of lack of time.

I want the league rerolled back. You had a lot of good changes in it, but FAR FAAAR too many changes destroyed way too many different parts of the game we love. Using this catastrophe as a cover to remove things that we like, but you want removed is NOT OKAY. You are too likely to never fix some of them if you dont reroll these. I want nothing more than to play a private server ran on previous patches right now.

I have not seen anything to address the complete deletion of Harvest endgame crafting, tainted currencies are USELESS, and every minion build feels horrible the instant it sees T10 or higher.



I love Path of Exile. I want it back.

Rares are actually stronger than bosses (wtf?). "Boss" means he's the top, the master of all other mobs in the area, how can he be a sh*t vs almost any average Archnemesis?

yeah, and you know what GGG is gonna do about it? They will buff bosses by like 400-500%, just watch and wait 1-2 leagues

people who are fine with changes or don't care about them don't write posts here, they don't care. So scrolling through this post's comments is not showing the real numbers or situations.
The only numbers that matter is daily active users which we can check, for example, at steam stats. And it is pretty fine. So yeah, 1% will always complain no matter what.

Why yes, steam stats don't lie...

That post look okish , while i salute the fact that your the only one i can think of in this industry taking responsability for there mistakes , like they say mistakes were made , and at this point still not corrected even if you blindly think they are.
Here few examples that are not working for the casual that i am :

- Harvest craft options removal non communicated .
- Skills feedback not taken into account , specificly a lots of unused skills still fixed .( ask streamers they will tell you which one or how to fix them because apparently your Q&A can't , sorry )
- Comms post release & not pre release , third times i'm witnessing that from what i recall probably more dramas but can't recall them.
- happy note because i don't care who saied it WASN't ok to have 15k uniques drops / maps , because my guess is you're gonna have to give us that much since we're not getting any sugar in kalandra <3 .

Best to you and the rest of GGG.

Chris, every moment you try to make this game meant to be played for forever, you fail more and more. Its time you to go back to your garage my man. Nothing lasts forever. Not me, not you, not poe.

I'm really trying to have fun this League but its just not happening.

The drops feel extremly bad, at the beginning I couldn't even sustain alchemy orbs for mapping, now after the changes I'm still struggeling with maps. And yeah it really helps killing the rare that drops 3x 20 stacks of Scraps or Whetstones...

Somebody once sayed it shouln't be my job to enjoy a Game, but you guys definitly did it with this...

The whole economy is f*****, nobody is really crafting anything since the top players all quit the League, meaning there are no real mirror items or any half decend items for uprading, cause carfting nowdays is basically winning the lottery, yoloing anul's...

I like the League mechanic but damn this aint't worth it, getting one shot by random rares that drop s*** anyways, beeing broke all the time, having to invest in maps and not even getting back half of the invesment its just not worth it...

Maybe listen to your Playes for once, make a question poll and see what we actually want...

But I'm out, good luck guys, I'll give Last Epoch a try.

As a casual player who plays trade league but doesn't trade all that much the league feels pretty good, tbh. The loot is ok now, I don't even notice a difference but I don't juice my maps much. Just alt or alch and go. Archnemesis comnbinations are still a real pain, though.

Just writing to counter all the hate messages a bit and to get trashed for it.

I know the loudest (maybe also most but that doesn't necessarily correlate) people on here are not gonna like this, but as a player from beta times, the slowly advancing out-of-control power creep and pushing for brainless loot-pinatas for that instant-gratification, has slowly over the course of years pushed me out of playing... still doing so every few leagues, though just less and less. I accepted though, that the switch in popularity from hc to sc and the change, or probably just the growth in player-base over the years is just what is naturally gonna change the game towards that. If you wanna be succesfull in nowadays tiktok marvel-movie films world that's how it is sadly.

When you were releasing harvest, you were absolutely right when stating it might be a mistake and killing the game. Reading these comments, it's obvious people never gonna recover from not being able to run around in gear that has beyond imaginable power level compared to just a few years ago after a few days of playing. So that they can spend the rest of the time blasting through super juiced content "watching tv on the side" (never really understood that philosophy, to me still the most disappointing comment Chris ever made)

But you got there... it made you even bigger and popular and when people say you might not understand your player base they might be right cause it changed over time.

Yes to all the haters, I did not play this league and I have no reason to doubt some things are even in heavy imbalance.., difficulty and rewards need to be somewhat matching.., but following the community for years now, I feel what many people mean by that is; if I can't blast through the game and get tons of reward it means it's bad.

I wanna be able to sustain t16 maps after first weekend period...
I wanna have an abundance of every "trash" currency without ever trading..

When people cry about not being able to sustain alchemies I wonder how we were ever able to play the game when you had to buy alchemies for maps

Different people like different things, and the game progressed more and more to be liked by the people that are now understandable insanely upset by there stuff being taken away.

Even though there might still be some obvious issues.., I just opened the web page after the massive drama that reached me. After checking out what people complain about and what changes have been made.. the first thought that came to my mind from my personal perspective was "wow.. they are actually trying to fix the game" .., obviously they still need to try better but reading the core philosophies and them trying to follow them (even while currently "failing) gave me some new hopes for Poe2, maybe even the next league already.., heck.. I'd love to and might even check out new current "lootless" poe just to see how "bad" it is, but as friends of mine easily made it to maps ssf I doubt it can be that bad. (No.. they are not chaining juiced t16's on day3)

So yeah.., looking forward to seeing how this "mess" is going to get solved and the future of the game and poe2, and even just bought some points, cause I love it so much to ruin the experience for those "actually playing" while I "don't know anything" about it.
