"join us for more quality of life improvements" aka poe 2 ification of poe 1

I'm absolutely done with these devs and this game.

we wait a year because of poe 2, not playing poe 2 because it's poe 2, for them to just turn poe 1 into poe 2... while they turn poe 2 into poe 1.

i live in hell. My life ( in the gaming world ) has just been one long nightmare since 3.14. that was around the time other games started becoming jokes too.

i wish i never quit game dev courses in college.

how do i make my own studio and make good games without knowing how to code?

does every "qol" need to be in every game ever? you ever think that a lack of something is actually a feature? we don't need pause on escape. we need pause on alva.

this game is a joke. too bloated and made for ben and other streamers

I think more than a few people feel the same as you do.

The good news is you can make your own studio. All you need is some money and some programmers that know their way around, well programming, but for games.

Other than that you need a vision. What kind of vision? Doesn't matter, so long as people like it and you don't alienate said people. They will want to play your game based on your promises made in making your vision a reality.

Just don't ever go back on your word once your vision has achieved acceptance among your player base. If you do, you might have people on the forums voicing frustration, but that's not a big deal either. You can simply remove their ability to post. Easy day.

How does a pause feature tangibly affect your enjoyment of the game? You don't have to use it.

Pause is a fundamentally impactful mechanic, and it is likely that GGG has also included balance changes to account for its use which will affect overall gameplay. ='[.]'=

Don't worry they won't rebalance the game around something that has little to no impact. It's literally just a QoL feature for the players convenience lmao.

Weird how people always go doomer mode and expect the "worst" anytime the game gets actual good and useful QoL.

This I agree with.

When you can pause a game by pressing esc, there's no reason - at all - that the game shouldn't automatically pause in the background when interacting with NPCs, like Alva, Betrayal NPCs, altars or whatever.

Now for the pause 2function itself? Couldn't care less. Don't need it.

I don't understand how does this affect your SC gameplay?

funny thing about programming is, you just need good logic and good motivation.

if i had more motivation i would study independently and just make my own POE.

sadly i lack motivation. instead i spent ungodly amount of time on forums complaining with tons of word vomit.

perhaps its an indicator that i should start something lol.

then again its all hot air until i actually do something. which is most likely going to be how it is.

Funny thing is, even if you would make "your own PoE" it doesnt mean anyone would actually play it.
People always think their own ideas are better.

I dun have access to your join date, but your post history starts November 2022.

My join date is September 2011. I've seen a lot go on in the development of PoE which you haven't.

Trust me, bro. =9[.]9=
