This month we did get :
- 1 update that fixed bugs & performance issues ( and added new problems )
- 12 hot-fixes that are usually very small in scope
- no information since 2 weeks ( what they intend to do is very vague )
- no patch since 1 week ( it's not like the game lacks issues to fix )
That's cool . But given the vast quantity of bugs , performance , balance , economy issues which had already been reported in two months ( on a game missing more than half it's content ) i find this pace of updating is nowhere near where it should be . And I'm a patient guy .
Adding to that GGG's lack of ( clear ) communication & how little we know about their vague plans about the future of this EA , all of it makes it very hard to stick around through these numerous issues .

I think they truly consider this a "released game" that is in its first League period, somewhere along the line they forgot its an early access beta that is NOT free to play.
I have hardly touched the game during January and just come back here to see if the HUGE patch that is required to make the game even close to PoE1 has materialised yet. This is from someone who has played almost every class in Last epoch to lvl 96+, and has thousands of hours in PoE1, i think thats quite damning even if its based solely on me.

What ever happened to developer manifestos and roadmaps that used to be posted constantly on the forums?

I've finished my main build & cleared the remaining endgame content last week , given all that's left now is improving clear time through better gear but trading is a slop i don't see myself farming for the sake of farming when both the technical & gameplay sides are that unstable . So i'm happy with what i did played , 30 bucks well spend , but for now the game is uninstalled and will remain so until a major update is released .

Yep i don't feel it is right for GGG to base their entire communication on a monthly 2+ hours PR meeting with some random streamers , which only a minority of players are willing to watch . The information shared here is close to non-existent apart from the Patch notes , and there is zero engagement with the community . Given the volatility of most discussions here it's hard to blame GGG devs for refusing to engage here to get mugged , but that doesn't stop them to enroll PR people to do that in their stead ... they are no longer an indie studio .

Yeap exactly this, people are forgetting we reached this state of the game after over 5 years of development, EA is not free so it would be at least fair to give us some kind of roadmap or at least make some posts that "we are working on x" etc so we know our time has some kind of value for them.
As you said there are no small, indie company anymore and it seems like it is getting worse and worse over time.

Well to be fair i forgot to point this out but they are keeping updated some information regarding what they are trying to currently fix ( "Known Issues" threads ) , but other than that it's radio silence :
"
Known Issues (PS5)
These PoE2 Early Access problems are currently being investigated, we'll be trying to get them fixed as soon as we can.
High priority problems:
Skills socketed in trigger gems do not display their correct level when you have gem level modifiers. This is only a display issue.
No button to exit Trial of the Sekhema after you die.
Can't quick-move items from the extra Titan inventory into the Reforging Bench.
Can't see skill gem qualities.
Map fog of war resets after changing area.
Turning into a demon kills your active minions.
Using the Stash bind outside of town will drop the item instead.
Low quality audio and crackling.
Cannot purchase anything from Ritual while in couch co-op.
If a bug you're experiencing isn't on this list it doesn't mean we're not aware and looking into it, this is just a list of common important problems. Please make a bug report or respond to another if it looks to be the same problem as it helps give us more details to investigate. Thanks.

my issue comes with the fact that there is very little replayability in this game as it is, and the fact that the dev's stated "we dont want to do an economy reset until a new league start". Now this may have been a slip of the tongue, but i thought this was an EA game where we would get lots of changes and "resets" whilst they balance, test and add content. Currently it is a broken mess with very little build diversity, id like to see some more communication with the player base so we have an idea of what direction the game is heading in, because if they think its currently good then im very sad for the games future.

As the weeks are passing by it's very clear so far they don't intend to do much more than the usual after-season-release support & fixes .
