0.4.0c Hotfix 13

I've been keeping track on how many pages this thread got and they have deleted over 50 pages worth. Are they trying to silence people or down playing the negativity?

I haven't read all of the comments but is anyone talking about how people want to put golem works in their temple but you can not lock a tier 3 golem works because you can't lock a generator because the only way to lock a generator is to have a sacrificial chamber attached to it and you are only allowed 1 sacrificial chamber.... it's a chain of suck. Again it is clear GGG have not themselves tried to build a temple.

Yes by changing the way locks work they increased the difficulty and proactively increased the amount of time it takes to build a "proper"/"minmax"/etc. temple by 5x.

Golemworks is not nearly as dynamic as Spymaster. Golemworks requires generators, which requires roads, which makes a temple highly inefficient and very unfun to build, they did this on purpose for whatever reason. Not sure why the didn't nerf the loot and leave the difficulty and building mechanics alone. I don't buy the "we want different temple layouts", when all the good temples still look exactly the same, not to mention all the legacy temples who get to hang around and farm a min maxed temple without having to deal with the new building roads. Everyone without a full temple is punished severely.

I will never understand this patch, I think it was a terrible decision especially on a holiday weekend 2+ weeks into the league. I really hope there is post mortem because this is a shame.

I am sorry, but this is by far the worst managed league to date (at least in PoE2, haven't played that much PoE1). Who makes those decisions? It just seems like every other hotfix is more out-of-touch than the last one. I would love for someone from GGG to actually explain the way they've managed this league and what was the thought process behind it: not the changes to the mechanic itself, because I think most people can agree that it was OP, but the though process behind the timing of introducing those changes.

And for all of the people preaching "just have fun playing the game", you are just missing the point completely - people play TRADE LEAGUE for a reason, they want to TRADE and ENGAGE WITH THE ECONOMY. Go back to SSF, have fun there, and stop piping in with those irrelevant takes. This is as if I don't know... GGG introduced a penalty, where everytime you die half of your currency gets deleted, and hardcore league players would praise those changes as good while playing a league in which (by design) they should not die at all.

I tried building temple for few hours after hotfix, it feels like shit now with lock change. I'm not having fun anymore with those absurd levels of rng to progress and uninstalled the game, i'm not going back to maps, that is not end game, we had one and they removed it

First time I’ve ever posted on the PoE forum, and it’s to complain about the incredibly bad, terrible update you’ve put out.

Changing how the rooms work at this point, with temples that were already built, feels unbelievably disrespectful to your players.

I didn’t take advantage of the Holten bug. I built my temple with blood, sweat, and tears and made it to 40 rooms — meaning half the temple.

I was having an amazing time with my friends, pushing our builds to clear the temple as fast as possible because the enemies were insanely tanky — some of the best content PoE has ever had.

And now I’m stuck in a situation where my temple is bricked, and I am NOT going to rebuild it after wasting more than 20 hours between loading maps and running temples.

Unbelievable that they do things like this, laughing at the players and belittling the hours they put into the game… wow.

Revert it, or this league is dead — I hope for a lot more people too, because I’m not going to run Abyss, it’s more boring than my balls.

Best time right now to unstall and come back in few months

The individual who came up with the medallion change needs to get culled for lacking an actual brain.

i am extremely disappointed, i spend whole day unable to progress temple due to i tier up medalion is rare and stupid idea to tier3 lock only.

i wait for the rng room, when i have the room to put in my temple my other room got deleted.. when i have the room ready. the room roll 6x per run doesnt gv me room i want. WTF! seriously. this hotfix is so triggering [Removed by Support]

Just a simple question:

Is TenCent aware of the chaotic circumstances at GGG when decision making responsibles (who are paid more) can not even predict how much of a negative impact their empty-headed changes have on the active player base and the product itself?
