0.4.0c Hotfix 13

You should all give your feedback with the only meaningful options.

- Stop playing the game.

- Write your opinion in steam.

- Stop buying supporter packs and mtx the moment they hype you about the upcoming league.

I was watching a video the other day called "Designing Path of Exile to Be Played Forever", has Chris Wilson talking throughout.
He literally says how they don't care about retention at all, since the majority of their profits are made right after they release the supporter packs and on the first days of the league.
So, I hope you understand what this means.
They only care to hype you and me so that we blindly throw our money on their sup packs, before we even get a "feel" of the league.
Speaking of which, why an EA game releases leagues to begin with and not just focusing in creating content and, most importantly fixing stuff?
We were supposed to have a fully released *FREE* game by now.
Well, I've never seen an advertised as "free game" with a price tag attached for at least another year, asking for money so often. And now with skins which cost more than real clothes even lol.
It's fair to say that they are steadily becoming worse than Blizzard at this point.

Its Monday and zero response. This speaks volumes about the Company Principles.

This entirely.

Releasing leagues on a very tight 4-month schedule on an early access phase, it is completely ridiculous...

So many bugs right now..

Crazy how this is the most important to them but not big fixes.

I beat architect three times and dont even get medallions. They dont even show on the rooms id get them.

This didnt happen on my first character. I thought maybe just a random issue. 15 temples later, no medallions are dropping.

So you gut league mechanic, and then have bugs that dont even give medallions to players(first time i beat him then died in the room simultaneously, picked up crystal increase medallion, beat two more times after, no qctual rooms have dropped a medallion

Just insult to injury.

Guys, like lets be real. We should not support companies who communicate like this and make decisions like this. Your favorite game franchise is now ran by greedy corporate folk. Its over. This happens to games after a long time. The idea of how to make more money reigns supreme.

This game should not be EA. They know what they are doing with supporter packs.

All of this would be AOK if they still respected players time, but free to play and respect players time dont mesh, and yall need to wake up and smell the coffee.

THERE ARE STILL POINTS ON THe tree for flails. WTF is a flail

Yall had a good run. But youre gonna need to drop PoE1. The crossroads are here, mind as well go scorched earth now. Abandon PoE1 if you want this game and future titles to have success or give PoE1 to the community. You gotta understand you might not be able to work on both games. Thats ok.

But the greed has got to stop, the poor communication needs major attention, and the reason why you make games need a look because we can all clearly see the passion may be there, but what is the passion feeding exactly?

The no fun, zero loot simulator if you're not the 1 percent.

It's past midday in NZ, did they really not acknowledge the feedback at all? Even, like, to give us all the finger, or at least to announce that they're going to give us the finger when they think about it more? Amazing.

They did give us the finger with the mistery box post lmao

REVERSE THE PATCH

Every post they had on Steam for a while has been about mtx and art. Priorities.

Hurry up and release the latest patch. Let's see if GGG really doesn't care about the players' voices at all, and let me see if it's really time to say goodbye to this bad game.

Well, I've made up my mind after playing it post patch for a few days. I figured I'd give it a go just to see if you guys actually screwed the pooch as badly as everyone has said. The answer is a resounding yes. Here's what I've experienced since you dropped this patch: I CANNOT effectively progress any type of useful temple. Even if I want to engage with the mechanic the way you intend??, it's shit. And in the mean-time you have the meta players (who I have ZERO problem with what they did. Cleverness SHOULD be rewarded, so good work by them), still printing loads of currency. It's honestly pretty disappointing. I'd actually like to build a viable temple. It seems like it would be fun. But instead, all you've done is make it harder for the average player. But don't worry, you sent out a snappy post reminding everyone to 'be nice.' I think that actually is what makes me the most upset. 'Be nice.' Holy shit. 'Be nice.'

I'm going to continue to play, because I've managed to have the best league ever so far, because I made some good decisions early and cashed in, and frankly, I still really like blasting. But I swear, every time I go into the temple, it just makes me think what YOU GUYS SAID on one of your streams "We don't want players to go INTO a MAP knowing it's going to be a bad experience" [Paraphrase]

This is a bad experience.
