Early Access Feedback - We need you to talk to us - A DEV TALK - Forum

Yes everything was wrong on launch, for that reason they patched so so so many things, still patching and need to patch so much more... Repeat: problems with the campaign, enemies, skills, loot, servers, bugs, endgame, balance... I played since 1 minute and race SSF being top 10 untill i get burned at lvl 92 for the BIGS loot problems. (i was 1st damage ED build on SSF with Witch) Im talking with rights to do it, because i know the game, i love the game and have +600 hours (more than 1600h on PoE 1 too) An apology for launch an obvius UNTESTED version, but i dont care about that.. i dont need an apology was only an idea, the important thing here is: THEY NEED TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF THIS. Maybe some of you are happy with this version, not me, i played 140+ hours 0.2 patch and feels like i lost that time for nothing, because the game is broken. No loot, no balance, enemies and skills worst than 0.1.... Unprofessional. Most of the opinions are like this. And anyone who doesn't see this is simply a bad ARPG player...Check out Steam reviews from people with over 300 hours...The fall of players For God's sake, only a blind man can't see it! Fix the loot, add more orbs and crafting systems, fix the skills so they all work.... that few changes will have people playing the EA without complaining, even if the content is lacking and the endgame is repetitive and boring... (like now) I'm sure they'll make a great game, but hiring a few beta testers before releasing a patch isn't going to ruin them...

This was not a release, it is early access beta version of the game which is still being tested and still has far from release. Only blind cant see this. But at last you dont care about that :D yea yea thats why you demanded apology at 1st place. Im not saying the game is perfect and polished... but saying everything is wrong than coming up with own archivements doesnt seem really good. Again, this game is in early access beta version which is being constantly tested and its in developement. Atleast now you speak for yourself.

WE and I (not you on we) want a playable version, not this. Early access is not an excuse if you ruin the 0.1 version and give a new broken one. Hire betatester, ill do it free and sure more than thousnd people... And i know is an EA & not the final product... i trust on GGG more than u can imagine, but i must give feedback and not take your actitude, because in that case ill be happy with a little cat "poo" in a pink box XD If u love this version i hope they save to you a backup and always play it! with no loot, no balance and... etc leave the good one for us. The one who talks plural trying to get a better game.	Posted by newyork123#5522 on Apr 20, 2025, 11:43:07 AM Quote this Post

The one who talks plural trying to get a better game. It 100% is a playable version currently as more than 80,000 people are playing and the consensus in-game is the game kicks ass. Its really just neckbeards on reddit and this forum that are crying that they can't watch TV while clearing whole screens and need to actually have to watch the screen.

Maybe you... trading can play and enjoy, but on SSF, nah is not playable...	Posted by newyork123#5522 on Apr 20, 2025, 11:50:11 AM Quote this Post
" newyork123#5522 wrote: After all these problems with the campaign, enemies, skills, loot, servers, bugs, endgame, balance... (everything wrong) We're disappointed because we love the game, and even though it's in Early Access, we feel like beta testers facing a disaster. (BUT in this case, we're the ones who paid, not you, for helping you improve the game.) We deserve an apology and a roadmap. I definitely agree with the OP's desire to arrange a GGG "Developer Talk" with the POE2 Community, which I believe should be done IMMEDIATELY. Why should this be done immediately? Because the POE2 Community does not feel as if the current design of POE2 is favorable to the community's desire for POE2. The community needs to feel they have an established connection between themselves and the Developers, which is not being represented well at the moment. For example, I have played POE2 since it's debut on December 6th and have reached the Atlas Endgame since Mid-February. I remember that obtaining currency in that prior version of the game was nowhere near as arduous as it is right now. So, GGG, what is the game-design strategy here? Is it to make rare items(ex. crafting currency) harder to obtain, and thus make this game more challenging because of it? Is it to prolong the crafting process to keep us playing the game longer? We do not have any official GGG answers to refer to in these scenarios, and we should. We need communication on this topic and we need it now. There is too much at stake here for you folks at GGG to remain silent on the matter.	Posted by DivineEyes#2199 on Apr 20, 2025, 12:11:19 PM Quote this Post

The one who talks plural trying to get a better game. I dont state early access as an excuse, but as a fact. People are pointing out facts for you in thread you created and you just simply refuse to see those. Why do you also refuse to speak for yourself? Clearly there are many people that dont agree with your opinion. At this point i begin to think, that you dont even know what youre talking about and just scream like a crybaby that game is not how you imagined.

I think that for a lot of people, if they just were able to hear and understand the reasoning behind many of the decisions made by the game designers, it'd help a lot. Even the Zizaran interview was pretty enlightening. GGG are pushing back way too much on the community, and that really shined through during the Ziz interview. They still have yet to fix so many problems they created with this patch. Interviews are great and all, but so many players in the community have incredible feedback (just like during 0.1.0) in the forums, reviews, and on youtube. There are many top streamers that are scared to "take a side" so they refrain from giving an honest take on the game. I don't blame them since it's their job at stake, but GGG really needs to read feedback from everyone else, otherwise what is the point of this forum?? Well i dont think theyre pushing back on the community. Have you seen patchnotes at all? But i wouldnt be surprised that they will push back on someone who just asks for an apology for them releasing early access game.	Posted by k3bab#2114 on Apr 20, 2025, 12:23:37 PM Quote this Post
