GGG will brick your builds EVERY season

Players are incentivized to play characters contrary to the "vision" because the act of trivializing previously brutal combat is extremely rewarding/fun. But, as we've seen, if you trivialize the "vision", you will get bricked. The problem is when GGG keeps on bricking builds, the game becomes increasingly more impossible, since the act of bricking crazy high-level builds inevitably affects the lower level progress (e.g., early leveling and campaign etc).

Essentially, you're slogging through absolute hell for your first 100 hours just to get to "non-trivialized" combat at end game.

I currently have ONE level-95 BRICK from last season.

If I were to make a lightning spear character and push to end game, by the time 0.3 comes out, I will have TWO high-level BRICKS.

During 0.3, I craft my THIRD BRICK :) You get the picture.

I hope the vision is amended by 1.0 so that we all don't have to craft bricks by slogging every season.

0.1 was fun. Goodbye POE2! I will return when I am assured that my time will be more respected by you :)

Correct.

And thats why I play BS builds in SSF.

Not really sure what you expected when buying early access. You quite literally signed up for volatile balance and frequent sweeping changes.

Yo dog. You paid for access to the beta to test the game while its being made. Of course there are going to be massive changes. This is what you signed up for.

Flavour of the month is a staple of every live service ARPG in existence. Release new OP stuff every quarter, nerf the previous stuff that was OP. Rinse and repeat.
