Fun = nerf same thing every league absolute brainlet devs
The core issue is the lock requiring Tier 3 rooms. That is the actual blocker.

I have been building ethically, which already puts me behind players who benefited from the Holten farming period. In just three runs, I lost roughly 70 percent of my temple. I am now effectively stuck and unable to continue building efficiently.

To be explicit: I invested well over 200 hours to produce a medium quality three path snake. After these losses, I am back to my original snake, which only survives because it happens to have a Tier 3 room at the end. Expecting players to reliably land a Tier 3 room at the end of a snake in a single run, without destabilizing the entire layout, is not realistic without extremely favorable RNG.

This is the key point that seems to be misunderstood:
it is not mechanically viable to do this consistently.

For clarity, I understand and accept the other nerfs. Those were aimed at server health and have always been part of the design trade offs. That is not the complaint.

The problem is that this lock change significantly worsens the existing two class divide:

Players who invested heavily during Holten already have fully upgraded rooms.

Those players are not affected by room destabilization and can rebuild or optimize freely.

Players who did not or could not exploit that window are now effectively blocked from progressing.

As a result, this lock does not meaningfully slow the top end. Instead, it prevents newer or ethical builders from recovering or rebuilding, especially after the Spymaster diminishing returns changes.

In practice, this change entrenches early advantages rather than promoting balance or progression parity.
I am not touching the game if they wont revert locks. I wasted more than 60 hours and temple not complete. ITS SO MUCH RNG its insane and you make it even harder? I was 20 runs without any spymaster etc farming like crazy now its unatainable. If they wont revert locks, no problem. Not playing at all without it. Maps are dead, you drop nothing in them, if you drop, it has no value at all now.

yeah Fubgun is the evil guy that makes the perfect PoE2 bad
in other online games people who play the game the most optimal way, be it champions or speedrunners, are respected, and only in PoE the guy that shows the most profitable strats gets hated like he steals someone's money.
Fubgun is only showing you what is in the game, he is not the one who makes this possible. Your FOMO is not a reason to hate him.


And lets not forget that hes given away hundreds of free mirrror services of his perfect bow.. He could have made several mirrorrs from that alone..

This is well said Fub is not the problem at all he actually helps players and developers see the issues in the open. The problem was the response time from GGG this should have been patched immediately like they did with the abyss loot not as intended early on. Fubgun has been a great help to the community and for the record he put in the time that many of us can not. I like to say just paly the game and not judge against someone who does this as a profession!

Just like I say when i fail at golf I am much better at my dayjob and golf as well as PoE2 are not my dayjob's so Fubgun is going to beat me everytime as he should! But I am sure I will everytime he tried to do what I do for a living as it should be!
Please redo all changes to the temple, reducing the loot is good but the rest just creates a gap between the ones that are building their temple and the 1% that already have a perfect temple ...
Hello, GGG. All you have to do is introduce paid characters like Diablo and Epoch, and then your game will definitely die! You don't understand or know how to manage the in-game economy, but you care for and protect abusers while simultaneously destroying regular players. Now they'll never build their snake in the temple. Goodbye.
GGG Logic -> Fun = Nerf

Headhunter jump buff still on the game.
IT'S SO FUN DONT DARE TO TOUCH IT!
You started 2026 greatly GGG. A company which the player base can't trust. That's your Foundation.
