What Happened with Items

how much did blizzard pay to crash the game like that?
What you should have noticed so far is that no one wanted these changes in the 1st place... and yet u keep beating a dead horse !

Internal communication cannot always be perfect. Game development is one of the hardest jobs out there and people who have not done it cannot say it isnt without trying it themselves.

Chris!

Know that there are many players who still believe in you and ggg. We know your passion and your lifes dedication to the game and we know your intention is never to kill the fun or destroy the future of your own lifes work.

!!!!!!
All the people that said you should step down are the people who have pissed in the well they have been drinking from for the past few years which you and your team have built.
!!!!!!
I respect Chris for taking responsibility as the lead developer, but I'm wondering how that is going to actually manifest. What is going to happen? How is he going to show that he's taken responsibility for this?

This is only one of many apologies and explanations of "what went wrong" written by Chris, but there's no real change afterwards. Chris stepping down is NOT the answer, but something has to change internally.

I want to continue playing PoE, and have fun playing it, and be hyped for new league-starts. But it's difficult to be excited when the playstyle of the game is flipped on its rear, and what I've grown to love over the years changes in one day.
I understand the idea behind making rare mobs more difficult and rewarding. But you guys went insanely overboard tuning them. Like broke the tuning knob off the tuning box. Rare mobs are worse than bosses including the big bosses. Ive seen rare mobs fights that take longer than sirus. Maybe there were things in the game that were insane but hell that's what made the game fun for us. Not saying go back to how things were but understand you removed that fun and replaced it with pain. Then doubled down on that pain by removing some harvest crafts that were really important to us. Also got me excited tainted currency was coming back but then nerfed it as well. It's like you gave us a shiny balloon and in the same motion took out your nerf needle and popped it in front of our faces.
I had no major problems with the loot this league. Harvest is in a sad state and some mobs are too tanky, that's it.
You guys can do so much better than this. The community streamers and content creators have been addressing every thing that went wrong with such details and making good suggestions to improve. Please, take a closer look at what they have to say in reggards to loot, crafting, archnemesis etc.

"Basically you've fucked yourself and your mud at this point!"
None can say it better.


From this article:

The Death Spiral:

As the immortals, (and yes I do place full responsibility on the immortals, because it is in fact they who have the power to ameliorate things, and the responsibility to the mud NOT to do it in the first place), continue to wimp players, boost mobs, drop gold gathering abilities, raise prices, and reduce weapon effectiveness, players begin to align themselves into two camps. One group who "backs the Imms, 'because they know best and wouldn't hurt us'", and one group who feels "betrayed and hurt" by the removal or destruction of that which they have worked so hard to obtain.

The first group, the 'god-backers' seems to break down into three subgroups. Before determining how great you are for your wonderful wimping, consider the fact that the motivations of those players that appear to be backing you may not be as pure as you believe.

Why did it come to this? Why the game is now a casino? I never won a single lottery in my life. Not gonna go the same route here. Super dissappoint with whorver came up with this terrible design when almost everything about the loots were fine. Sigh. Guess I'm out.
