The amount of negativity in the community is mind-boggling
|
I know i'll get called out for "simping", but i don't give a shit.
I am actually, honestly, really surprised by the amount of negativity this community is spewing since the launch of PoE2. The game has been out for less than a month in early access, and unlike other games this one is very much so - half the classes are missing, half the campaign is missing, probably 3/4 of the skills (actives and supports) are missing, mechanics are missing... - and people are actually throwing huge tantrums, dramatically leaving the game or just straight out trash-talking and whining like woketards on USA election day. Very few people post some actual, calm and based feedback. I am surprised since PoE1 has changed so drastically during the years since it's own closed beta, that it's literally a whole new game. The early PoE1 was NOTHING like what PoE1 is currently, for good or worse. So, people reacting the way they do right now seems insane. Are you all new players, who came here expecting to get a full, ready, balanced game? Or are you all just so stuckup in modern idiocy and love to whine? I've always believed the PoE community is a more serious, based and hardcore one, not a bunch of whiners and drama queens. I for one respect the company for having the balls to try something actually new instead of making another Diablo clone or even a PoE clone. They could have done that and i bet it would have worked, but then people would probably be crying about "GGG is charging me 30 bucks to play the same game"... Instead, they took the risk to actually change the game and maybe start a new sub-genre of their own. Of course it's not balanced yet, things are changing daily and yeah your "builds" won't work after every patch. That's a good thing, considering how early we are in the development of the game. Imagine having "solved the meta" one week into early access, lol. Hell, we are still playing PoE1 13 years after release. I bet the guys from GGG, after all the work they've thrown at this new game, reading through all the negative bullshit online, feel like telling you all to go fuck yourselves... but they can't, because it's not professional and today it's so easy to get canceled. Well, i can tho because i don't care and have nothing riding on my "online persona" - Go fuck yourselves and your whiny bullshit. That, or get your head out of your ass and get real. But we all know you won't do that, don't we? Queue mic drop and dramatic leave. Last bumped on Dec 17, 2024, 5:48:20 AM

Hear hear! A lot of the players don't even know what poe1 was like in its early stages and they compare poe2 to something that has over a decade of content added to it.
The short version is every one of these whiners is an accomplished game designer in their own heads and think they know better than the people who are actually making the game. I think of the poe whining subculture as a group of chain smokers. They don't know what it is exactly that they want or why they want it. But they do Want. It. NOW! |

I think its both of the things you mentioned that are the crux of the issue.
New comers with brains so smooth you could use them as mirrors and people who are so brain rotted by the modern culture of being outraged and entitled by literally everything that passes their gaze. I agree with your sentiment regarding the game. Its a breath of fresh air, that is also in development. A facet that GGG have been absolutely open about. The game has its issues, those issues are being addressed. They likely won't be addressed in a fashion that satisfies everyone, that's just a fact of life. | |

Because they had 12 years from POE1 to learn? they had 3 years making POE2 to learn they had a year of actual beta testing and all the complaints from it were never taken serious.
Everyone has a legit reason to burn them down. NOT ONLY THIS A FUCKING EXPLOIT THAT ALLOWED PEOPLE TO MASS Thousands of EX in the span of a day that wasent fixed till a week later...so you have people sitting on 5k+ ex from abusing a respawn glitch and all you needed was 95% rarity and said mob was dropping 1-2 ex per kill taking roughly 5 sec per kill. Said mob was reported in the Beta. EA was a shitshow simple as that. its funny because people also found x mob was dropping headhunters till it was stealthly fixed . But lets nerf builds over fixing real bugs. like mapping? why is it every 3 maps you get a map bug that auto dcs you every time till you pick another among dozens other bugs that were reported before EA. so yea your simping pretty hard for a company that had all these reports months ago and still managed not to fix much. its nice that theres streamers now posting there beta feedback and recordings that were ignored. |

" Are you? I am a little envious of your surprise. I can't so much as play a simple farming sim without it's forum igniting into a holy furor about pretty much everything. Being a complete nerd, I can't even read an online archaeological article without the comments section erupting into hate. Explains why all my nerd sites are starting to disable comments (not suggesting that here!) Every forum I frequent is full of people who are angry or differently angry because they are angry at the other angry people for being angry in the first place. Still wrapping my mind around it, personally. I definitely think very short attention spans, so much media trying to instill anger/outrage about pretty much everything, etc have something to do with it. |

I'm not surprised. with 500k active players you are bound to get some disturbed people. What i am surprised about is how GGG is handling their forums. more balanced people will never stick around here if nothing is done.

" None of it matters, because none of this will end up in the live version. We're essentially play testing it. This is the exact attitude the OP was talking about. | |

It matters to the RMTers, they're losing :(
