Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt Launch - Live Updates 🔴

Well...

I try my archmage spark, and its beyond bricked, 3 sparks and Im out of mana, damage cut from 40k spark to 14k ???! 1k hours gone!

monk damage cut 70%? my two main characters are pretty much unplayable

congrats on this update, I can see this game will die soon because you just nuked players fav builds that took hunders of hours to build, the morons that decided to ruin the game, if you decided to brick players characters to the point of shooting 3 sparks costing each 700+ mana, with damage cut 70% congrats, you win the Rtard prize, usually you don't go full rtard, but on this case you went galaxy scale level of Rtard

adios, time to spend my time elsewhere morons

I'm experiencing the 'lack of fun' bug regularly :( Please help GGG

Trying to stay positive but just end up having to take breaks to have respite from the monotonous grind

Hello, I cannot login after the new update. Stuck at "Authenticating Epic account". Pls help

If this was the vision, I know a good optometrist.

I like the update, but the performance & server issues have been rough here on release day.

I would love to see the devs play a t18 w huntress but this shit is so fucking bad. 3.26 died for this

i think ggg forgot to add a spell tag to essence drain

You know, against my better judgement, I gave the new class a try. I didn't even make it to the miller before some little red porcupines ganked me. My damage output was garbage, even for a level 1. Took several hits just to kill a single zombie.

I took this as an extension of the future the patch notes revealed. The quest for "meaningful combat" means running around like a banshee, avoiding combat, and making combat with even trash white mobs an epic battle.

Plus, the performance hit was atrocious. I used to run through nice and clear. But on the first map, the quality and performance took a nose dive.

I'm grateful I had the foresight to start trying LE. At least you can kill things there, the performance is smooth, and they're not afraid to let a character feel powerful.

To all the fanbois who want to chime in, defending GGG's nerforama and acting like some uber gamer dude bigshot by telling me to just leave and how this is an EA, so deal with it...save it. I've done more than my fair share of betas. None of them...NONE...have done this level of nerfing in a single patch. None of them have been so poorly thought out, so crudely implemented. This was laziness, pure and simple. They didn't want to take the time to be surgical. They just blew up every class, every defense, every bit of damage. Their quest to slow down the gameplay goes against everything an ARPG has ever been. This is best displayed at how D3 let you do mass mayhem, and when they tried to take that away from D4, the game cratered.

I stood behind GGG on many replies, but this...this incompetence is intolerable. So many players can't play their old characters anymore, and the changes make even new characters as useless as tissue paper. Sure...you may find some streamers handing out hopium for a build here or there that doesn't suck as much, but the days of feeling "godly" in this ARPG is gone. In fact, I don't think it's even an ARPG anymore. I don't know what to call it, but they took the action right out of it. It's now just a boring 3 acts on repeat.

When it came to "where's acts 4,5, and 6...where are the other 5 classes and ascendancies...it was easy to say "well, it's beta". When you make classes that people have put thousands of hours into completely useless against zerging white mobs, that's just cutting off your leg because you stubbed your toe.

I'm good with my departure. I know how this goes. GGG is never going to revert these changes. Sure, they may revert some of the things somewhat, and hope people feel grateful for getting back scraps. Some of us are just too smart for that (while some will slurp it up).

Nutshell version: I came, I saw, and GGG/Tencent convinced me that they don't need me anymore. They got my money. It's done as far as they're concerned. Here's a thought...with all the billions Tencent has, why did they need your $30 to develop the game? Just thinking out loud.

Smith of Kitava!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poe1 died for this...
