What Happened with Items

A well-written apology, and quite nice to read. Now you just need to fix the numerous actual problems in the gameplay and loot. I hope you manage to do so within the next couple of weeks.

Hey Chris, these explanations are great! Now I understand everything, we are the same testing group that is working on the balance for the hard mod, they just didn’t tell us about it. Not to tell us about it, this is of course your mistake, but we forgive you (I at least). Listen Chris, I want to ask you to give us (the players) a client that is not connected to the servers. It's just that since you and your team have decided to interfere so actively with us playing the game, then with the help of this client we can at least play this game with cheats, since you are actively against us playing fair

This League won't survive " a couple of weeks" in this state. And the post reads like they are not fixing anything again and letting it die like expedition.
Go work on 3.20, horrible decision-making on 3.19. Gl tho

I cannot believe you would put "find 50 divine orbs from a single mob" as a good example of finding stuff. Yall have turned your game into d3 loot gobin hunting on TFT. Really an astounding feat.

Chris and GGG if you ask me, i liked all the changes you did with Kalandra league. Game felt challenging and many things in game had a purpose. Your game had actual gameplay.

Its true that i really was paying attention in combat and learning what skill monster has instead of pressing one click, extinct 10ths of screens, not understanding what my character is capable of just because i copied a guide with billion dps and having a loot pinjata that will be ignored 99% of the time. Felt like i was playing the game i started supporting on your early days.

Now the part i believe you did "wrong" is that you accumulated so much powercreep over the years that with one spike patch you cannot avoid the massive backlash from the "well spoiled" community you have build over the years. They've been tought to play your game like that. You want to make your game engaging but for them the "one click lootpinjata festival" is normal. When they think Path of Exile they expect this.

I only hope that this was just a preview of the future of what PoE 2 will be in terms of difficulty and loot and dont give up on your decisions from the people who say "i uninstall, game is dead, to late for changes now i quit" after 4 days of playing the changes. If they have such reactions and behavior and they want to leave they were never "yours" in first place.

You have at least two years until PoE 2 and thats at least 8 big patches to make it happen bit by bit. Bring them the Path of Exile you wanted to be.

I feel like the high-end of the Archnemesis mods stacking should be reduced in both offence and defence, so that we don't run into situations where we're clearing a map just fine, but then run into a single monster that can (will) repeatedly kill us in little to no time at all - on the same map!

My problem with currency rewards is the same; the high-end is too high, but in the case of dropped currency, the low-end is also too low. Seeing videos and screenshots of other players finding dozens and dozens of divines from a single monster is not motivating to me; quite the opposite, in fact - it very much lowers my desire to play the game, as it makes me think there's a problem with the core reward system.



TL;DR: I find the relative power between Archnemesis monsters jarring, and the peaks and valleys of rewards much too far apart. Both of these, especially combined, make the game much less fun for me.

I prefer constant average loot over this "hunt for the lootgoblin" lootsystem, but sure i can understand it is hard to balance around the wide spread opinions and demands this community has including reddit, maybe GGG needs to balance how much they pay attention to each part of the community as those who scream the loudest are not the majority either.

no, if loot doesnt change within a week im done for good. i dont want to do 30 to 60 useles maps to find that 1 an mob, before arch nem loot was nice, last league loot was ok, but this is bullshit. you know it. everyone i know and talk to, every streamer, every poe discord is sad, upset, depressed. Have you not figured out you got loot acceptable before?

also cuz the state of minion survivability i cant even do high tier mapa consistantly without ressing my spectres every 5 steps with alot defensive stuff taken.

so since youve already hexa downd, your probably not going to change anything. Goodbye most likley and i hope the few people left even enjoy your game

words mean nothing at this point. just like your philosophy.

Reading through the comments anyone with zero supporter packs to their account has nothing but praise, the people with supporter packs all outline massive issues. Kinda funny how the shill himself is only alienating his whales in favor of F2P casual players.
