We Are Taking A Temporary News Break

You guys are awesome. I didn't realize what amazing community outreach you had until I played the radio silence of d4.

GGG is knocking it out of the park. Best game dev company there has been

They stopped posting on the sub not because of the negative reception, it was from the fact that reddit and some users were ultra toxic and even insulted/threatened the staff posting there.

But you know, reddit stuff.

I do miss it too.

Chris and his dev staff can take criticism, they have been for the past 10 years.

They are ready to blown our minds in Exilecon!

Who could not be excited to support a company from what we saw at Exilecon when Chris and his team were emotional surprising us with PoE 2... So rare to see pure passion in big companies now.

This raises a minor question. Will we miss all the twitch drops, if we're attending ExileCon, or are they included in the ticket or something?

Please enable Royale mode instead of end of league events.

Understandable break. Good luck with Exilecon, show everyone what you've got!

so much copium, lmao

"we are breaking the streak in order to focus on Exilecon"

Pretty sure they have absolutely nothing to announce and thats an excuse, they wont stop receiving negative feeedback and they dont know how to handle it so the best option is to hide from it.

Posting news would spend like... 30 minutes? that's not even daily, and they dont have time for that? suuuuuure hahaha

Lets do our best showing our discomfort with GGG at exilecon, they NEED to realise whats the current state of the game.

Even if i get misteriously censored, we still have Twitch, Youtube or Steam as multiple ways of communicate ;)

We have to survive this somehow, 3 weeks left.
Stay strong brothers and sisters!

One of my biggest requests/hopes for POE II is proper multiplayer play like Diablo III did (D4.. man I dont know what those guys are even smoking).

If you guys can make it so that we can actually play with random people as easy as D3 does it.. that would be one of the biggest moves for POE imo.

While I agree to this sentiment, I think it'll fundamentally destroy the economy for people that enjoy trade league but don't want to party up.

The reason is that group play is always rewarded with more and better drops, significantly increasing the value of currency you get per hour per player.
If it becomes easy to just join randoms for 4-6 player groups to grind better loot than a soloish player or 2-player parties, then you will discourage a lot of the players that don't want to play SSF yet still enjoy trading and joining their friends occasionaly.

Another way to implement this kind of multiplayer is to rework the loot bonus for bigger player groups.

Just sayin'
