Oh, so we're deleting feedback now?

Is that your priority? You have enough staff to sit here refreshing the forum to censor players within minutes, but you don't have enough brain cells to test a hotfix before deploying it? PATHETIC.

You can delete my post, but you can't hide your incompetence. Let me say it again for the slow ones in the office:

Regarding the change to Juatalotli's Medallion (locking it to Tier 3):
YOU HAVE COMPLETELY BRICKED THE TEMPLE BUILDING MECHANIC.

Do you understand basic logic?

• You require a T3 room to use the item.
• We need the item to efficiently build T3 rooms.
• Result: New Temples are DEAD.

You have solidified a "Legacy Abuse" meta where old temples are god-tier and anyone trying to play the game today gets punished. You chopped off the players' hands and called it a balance change.

It is absolutely embarrassing that you spend more energy policing the forums to hide your shame than you do actually fixing the server or the game code.

Stop acting like dictators and GO FIX YOUR GAME.

Based honestly, game companies need to stop treating us like disposable objects
We're human beings with valuable time, don't gaslight and manipulate us with deleting our feedback to YOUR FUCKED UP DECISIONS

I’ve never posted here before, but at this point it’s impossible not to speak up. My time as a player has been blatantly disrespected.

I have over 2900 hours in PoE 1 and more than 600 in PoE 2. I’ve lived through years of questionable decisions, failed experiments, and tone-deaf design choices. But I have never seen something this openly hostile toward the player base.

We endured Archnemesis modifiers, the obsession with “meaningful combat,” and countless other mechanics that missed the mark. But gutting the only genuinely new and engaging part of the game mid-league is on another level entirely. You’ve effectively told anyone who can’t grind 10–12 hours a day that their time is worthless and that they might as well stop playing.

This isn’t balance. This isn’t iteration. This is destroying player motivation in real time. Instead of encouraging engagement, you’re actively pushing away the exact players who keep the game alive outside of the top 1%.

So here’s the question, GGG: PoE 1 already failed to attract new players because it was overwhelmingly complex. Now in PoE 2, the economy is being damaged league after league by reactionary changes like this. Do you genuinely believe this approach will bring in new players—or retain existing ones?

Yes, we paid for a beta, and we understand what that implies. But “it’s a beta” is no longer a valid excuse when the same pattern of mismanagement repeats every single league. At this point, it doesn’t feel like testing—it feels like flailing without direction.

Regarding the change to Juatalotli's Medallion:

Spoiler

Juatalotli's Medallion can now only be placed on Tier III Rooms. This will not be indicated on the Medallion's hover text for now and will be updated at a later time.

Do you have any idea what you just did? You didn't just "nerf" the mechanic, YOU COMPLETELY BRICKED THE ABILITY TO BUILD NEW TEMPLES!

By restricting this to T3, you’ve paralyzed the entire upgrade loop. You have created a situation where:

• Old "Legacy" Temples (created before this hotfix) are viable.
• New Temples (anyone trying to play NOW) are complete garbage.

You literally looked at the players trying to build their strategies and decided to chop their hands off. How the f*ck are we supposed to build optimal layouts now? You’ve solidified a "legacy abuse" meta where previous setups are god-tier and new attempts are impossible because you locked the tools we need behind an arbitrary Tier 3 wall.

Instead of fixing your code, you decided to punish players for playing the game. You broke the construction logic! [Removed by Support]

REVERT THIS GARBAGE OR ADMIT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO RUN YOUR OWN GAME!

Yep, most of [Removed by Support] where spot on, although very rude.

I'm so disappointed in you, GGG. I won't be supporting you anymore. What you've done here is truly incomprehensible. Once again, you reward those who abuse with 40% more loot, and then you mainly let the streamers get away with it, only to then bash the rest of the gamers! IM done with this u!

go outside and touch grass, stop with the insults towards them because you can't control yourself you petulant child.

Shut the f*ck up, you 6-challenge infant. You don't even play the game, yet here you are barking like a loyal lapdog for your masters. Go back to the campaign and let the adults talk.

PoE1 challenges don't mean anything because PoE1 is a bad game. GGG doesn't have to listen to the 40/40s because they know if they'll play through the slop that is Keepers league, nothing will cause them to quit.

league just ended good job ggg

I liked this league more than any other thank you for ruining my impression of it.
A great game and the shit-eaters team

The rich get richer and the poor stay poor. Twice now you have nerfed the players that didn't have a temple complete while catering to the ones that can yet again take full advantage.

Did support just delete 40+ pages of feedback lmao ?

I know that you don't care about what I have to say, and most likely will never even see this, but here are my 2 cents on this. As a casual player)(I have maybe 80-100 hours this league) I never even played the temple, you are "fixing" it for uber sweats, in the mean time people like me tried it and every time I build some rooms, like a few level 3 all it took was one good reset or whatever it is and it deleted my temple, so yeah... at the beginning of the league you said you can revert this (the deleting of rooms) and you never did, this makes the temple unplayable for 90% of your players. I just wanted to get that off my chest. While you are worried about the uber sweats that play 15h a day, one or two of those red waves deleting all of the hard work is more than enough to make every normal player stop wasting his time with the temple - FIX THAT!!!
