3.26.0c Hotfix 4

I hope they nerf the enemy Merc damage finally... Mercs hitting with random abilities harder than uber bosses is laughable and makes me completely ditch the mercenary system because it´s just not worth it.
Are we out to just ruin this game? Focus on making things fun, not whatever the hell you seem to be concerned with.

This is now the 4th "league" in a row for me, that you are literally out here butchering the fun you had previously provided...

Please tell us more about your vision upfront, instead of peddle some cool stuff under deliver, don't test, ship a bug riddled mess then reel back only the fun parts and keep all the awful experiences... "We nerfed mercs but one shots from them off screen still a thing, have fun goodnight everyone".
Merc still dies way too soon (friendly one) even after having him geared with tank items. Before the patches and 'hotfixes' not an issue at all and could run each mod.

Kinda frustrating that again in a league that is filled with issues more are created.

- edit,

It's actually been more and more of the same (negative) cycle and this is causing a lot of frustration with players.

great league guys, 1 year later people still farming the exact same content they were 1 year ago, servers beyond broken, insane amount of rollbacks, dumb spikes in server latency as well as low performing servers all over europe..

You guys are worth 500mil(half a billion usd) and manage to not even get shit properly tested before any league launch either for poe1 or for poe2..

Mercs one shotting people left and right, exploits left into the game almost on purpose, and the list goes on.. this game is stalled, come up with new shit, nothing in the game is a new mechanic since prophecy league.

Everything is just refurbished content that alrdy exists with minor tweaks..

Hire a testing team with NDAs for every league thats about to launch, ensure atleast quality in your damn game, its embarrassing that you guys only look at this is a cash cow.


edit: Even the edit feature duplicates posts? Lol


Maybe try supporting the company instead of being a freeloader.


Firstly, why he should? Secondly, he could be a supporter who hide his badges. And his right, GGG own a lot of money but they development processes are so fucked up that I'm feeling bad for their QA engineers. All blaming them, but I bet that they creating release branch in the exact day as league starting and also haven't enough time/resources to test it properly.

Please fix the servers instead, so we can actualy play any challenging content stop fiddling with the mistake in coding and "balacing" DR on mercs, it's part of the game to mix meta. Leave it as is, we have suffered thorough worse "balance" issues in the past. FFS.

Good revert but please work on your testing process. This update should have never been dropped like this. It's unprofessional to see these kind of mistakes all the time. Like a Betrayal's Sting ring which simply doesn't work at all and still has no fix. Cmon you are a big player now.

Thank god please just revert everything back to how it was at league launch. Let us break the game for once to have fun. Please don't nerf anything or implement bug fixes that disable builds after the league has launched.


This.

Stop letting the nolifers & streamers have fun the first 3 or 4 days then screw the rest of us.

The only alternative is if you patch an exploit you have to REMOVE the gains from that exploit from everyone who gained (usually nolifers & streamers). They'll cry about it, but it's fair.

Quite frankly, this can not be how patches drop. Every wingle league is tainted with the same issues stemming from apparent lack of testing. We always have server issues, we always have horrid balance issues that should have been found way sooner and we always have new client crashes. The first version of the 3.26.0c patch actually let me play on dx12 again without crashing, but after all the hotfixes the game is unplayable again. Well done....
I can't wait to dumpster/ignore the mercenary mechanic after the challenges are done.

Getting one shot by a mercenary in a lvl 78 map that has zero damage mods is absurd.
Still one shot alll the time. It’s so dumb I just don’t even interact with them as losing xp feels so bad
