0.4.0c Hotfix 13

This is outrageous. Honestly the dissapointement is unreal. Your community is in shambles. A league mechanic that got pretty poor reviews initially, turned into one of the best we've ever played once we figured out how it worked. Was it overtuned and needed nerfs? Absolutely! Did you have to aggressively ruin the core functionality of it? Not at all.

I've spent over a week, day and night builidng out my temple in SSF. Maps wasn't the end-game anymore if I choose for it not to be. I got up in the morning to continue builing my temple, excited as never before. Streamers went from hours to 24 hour streams stating this was the best league they've ever played, in any of the iterations of the game.

How could you go into the office on a Saturday night, and drastically change the game mechanics to this points and completely annihilate your entire community?

What a huge dissapointement. You guys should have a look at how you do things.

You gave us such an amazing piece of work, but why kill the fun? A few days ago this was the best iteration of Path of Exile I had ever played, you gave it to me, and then you took it away.

Very, very sad.

Most of us don't have a giga temple. Everyone who was abusing the last iteration in fine (0.1%). Everyone else is pissed with the locking change (99.9%).

Once it was figured out we have to clear our old temple to build a good one. That's now MUCH more difficult & most will decide not to. By the time the new system is figured out most will have quit...

The loot nerf is understandable.

1. You need to make the temple easier to clear.
2. Make the new temple easier to build.

If the temple gave as little loot as all the other farming methods not a single person would "enjoy" it.

It's a horrible roadblock to actual gameplay. It's a farming sim straight up and should be banished to the shadow realm.

So are we getting a 0.4.5 or is the rest of this league just for those with legacy temple setups and "comparison is the thief of joy" Andy's?

It’s been over 36 hours and more than 3,500 comments since this hotfix was posted. The overwhelming majority of feedback expresses frustration with the change, particularly around the medallion locks, yet there has been no response, acknowledgment, or ownership of what many see as a poorly considered decision.

I keep checking back, hoping to see something—any indication that the concerns are being heard—but all we’ve gotten is silence.

GGG, please wake up and read the room. Your community is clearly unhappy, and in some cases outright disgusted.

At the very least, the decent thing to do would be to respond.

I no longer trust the direction GGG is going in. Not with POE1 nor POE2.

Agreed! Also started bombimg X (twitter) account.

Just want to know whether I already dropped the game for good or not

I'm going to give you some advice: go outside, go to a park, or do some exercise, read a book.
You seem like addicts glued to a video game. I've read on this forum that some people are "depressed!!!" because of the temple!!! Seriously, going to these extremes for a video game...?
Don't you have anything better to do with your lives?

If we do, we won't even make a PoE account.

I was just on a 24hr probation for being "needlessly negative" here in the forums.

That should tell you where the priorities lie in treating the community right now.
