0.4.0c Hotfix 13

With the prior hotfix would've been in good faith to mention that a upcoming nerf could be happening so players would know that if you put in the time it potentially could be a waste. Instead adding buffs and no mention of nerfs gave people confidence in dedicating their time and that they will be awarded for it this was a poor decision to ultimately let a very small portion of the community to benefit from the league mechanic while others are SOL. Players including myself dedicated 40+ hrs, (possibly more if you had bad rng) hrs we cant get back and were just deleted because of this hotfix. Nerfs to loot was understandable because the amount was absurd comparatively to the rest of the farming opportunities in endgame but the lock medallion change is not needed makes building a temple undesirable and close to impossible without logging in 100's of hours. Please revert at least this portion of the hotfix

League rip, bye bye

ty GGG, im play this game on holidays, spend 3 days 16h/day for league mechanic and now i can`t use lock for safe
reduce drop its okay but why i cant complete my temple
ty

It’s already too late.

This approach completely misses the point.

Inflation should have been allowed to run its course, while the Temple system should have been adjusted to be more accessible for casual players—making it easier to engage with, not effectively impossible to progress.

With changes like this, all the benefits are handed to players who have already completed their Temples, while those who are still in the process are cut off from farming the highly inflated currency that already exists in the economy.

Another thing that should have been done this league is buffing other content so that it can compete with Temples in terms of rewards—instead of aggressively nerfing one system after the wealthiest players have already extracted massive value from it.

The end result is that rich players get even richer, while others are left further behind, unable to realistically catch up.

Frankly, this is one of the worst possible ways to address the problem. It doesn’t solve inequality in progression—it locks it in.

At this point, it feels less like balance changes and more like pushing players to take a break from the league altogether.

you guys dont understand nothing about balance, or at least the chefs, they dont play the game as casual or pro, every decision they are making is killing this amazing game, amazing thanks to designers, clearly some people are doing their best to kill this game with total ignorance, as new player of poe2 i did spend 2600 hours on this game and i clearly know whats going on!!!!!!! shame!!!!
nobody should feel constantly frustrated by a game, especially players like me that do all the content at max tiers. im done

GGG's just following the lore guys, Atziri communing with the beast caused the vaal cataclysm, destroying the temple!

Good one guys, you can revert it now... haha... ha..

My character is level 94 and I have 3 raw div drops mapping and running T15’s. I was just starting to build my temple and now it will be impossible. I quit playing after the loot nerf from 0.1 to 0.2 and didn’t play 0.3, I decided to give Poe 2 another shot for 0.4 and thank you for reminding me why I stopped playing. You don’t respect people’s time. Make legacy temples slightly worse but lock all casual/non hardcore players out of experiencing anything remotely close unless they have hundreds of hours to try to replicate what was done in 20-50 hours. You will end up with a player population that whittles down to hardcore only and then they will stop playing because their streams won’t have the viewership they had when casuals played and then they will leave as well. Thank you for reminding me not to waste my time on another Poe 2 league.

Congrats GGG you singlehandedly destroyed the entire economy.

You did not fix anything.
You did not stop the temple users cuz they are still printing.
You literally just royally strapped one on and hit us all from behind that are regular players.

Entire market crashed.
Just revert the patch and roll the entire server back to before the patch at this point, the damage is insane.

+1

yeah nice move GGG, gatekeep the casuals and keep feeding the rich LMAO

[Removed by Support] GGG hates when people are having fun, we (players) are there just to buy supporter packs, once we buy them they want us to leave and come back for new supporter pack..
