I don't understand why this community is so awful to GGG. You have this team of passionate developers that actually play their game, and are really transparent and willing to do many interviews even ones with hard hitting questions, and release massive updates each league with content that far exceeds other titles and people still complain.

I do agree that this patch looks bad in the sense that they took the servers down for a MTX upgrade but.. are people here just ignoring that they fixed a server crash at the same time? GGG likely would not have done the update if it wasn't also to fix a crash.

People complaining about the game being dead are ridiculous, the next update is just over one month away, and from everything we are seeing looks like it will be yet another massive amount of content.. If your not having fun with the game right now, just take a break and come back.

People seem to be expecting GGG to release the same amount of endgame content each league and keep to the same 3month schedule they used to have, and ignoring the fact that the game is in EA and there's a lot more content that they are having to release each league for the game instead of the usual endgame content only that leagues typically get

The whiners will always be louder than people who are happy with the game and understand what they bought into. This a BETA yet the cry babies think they are playing a final release. "I have played 1500 hours this game sucks" hahaha ok guy.

1.8 gb and patchnotes are 3 mtx things that already were in the game code? something really fishy going on

All I got from this patch was cosmetics and an audio bug where sound get crackled and distorted when loot drops.

The sound works but every time something from ur loot filter drops the sound get cut off and/or distorted. Not sure why audio was touched for this patch.

Jonathan: "The EA will last for at most a year."
GGG with PoE2: It has content updates tied to leagues rather than just regular updates. Leagues, even during EA, are separated by 4 months. It has been over half a year since the EA launched, and the game is STILL ON VERSION 0.2.1b.

I wonder how long it will take them to add the rest of the content into the game considering the fact that they have less than half a year to do so. If they don't, may as well force a refund as they didn't deliver on the product that was paid for.

I wish the Skull of Undeath was an effect you could apply to our character so we can use whichever helmet we want.

This game will take over two years at EA. GGG doesn't deliver on any of its promises.

They said POE 1 and 2 would have separate teams, a lie.
They said the game would have constant updates, a lie.
They said the classes would be balanced, a lie.
They said the game would be highly optimized, a lie.

In the end, what matters is raising money and deceiving the community, keeping quiet and releasing MTX.

But GGG has champions who defend it.

Dear colleagues.

I have been playing computer (and later - console) games since the times of Another World, Prince of Persia and Eye of the Beholder which, probably, makes me older than parents (and possibly - grandparents) of the absolute majority of people on this forum.

Also, I've been working in IT for almost 30 years.

I am nobody's champion, however reading this (and countless similar) threads, I always wanted to ask:

Do you, Generation Z (85%) and Millenials (14%) have any remote and vague idea, how titanically difficult it is to make a game? Did you make a single game in your life which was more complicated than tic-tac-toe? Do you realize how improbably vast are the tasks, the interfaces, the codebase, the processes?

I have my doubts...

You purchased a brilliant game in Early Access stages. Purchased cheap, for a fraction of its real cost. You constructed various builds, you finished the Campaign, you enjoyed incredible graphics level and intense fights, a sophisticated skills system, etc. What else do you want?

Why are you whining and throwing offense at GGG? They are doing what they can. Do you really think Bethesda, Blizzard or Electronic Arts would be faster or better in these circumstances? These companies will just ignore you so that your little indignations won't interfere with their work.

You have a jewel of a game. It is under development. If you don't like anything about it - just stop playing and wait for the production version. It's that simple.

Cheers.
