GGG has lost it's way... another realm closes...

One thing I can contribute to this as a part-time South East Asian player.

GGG never forced us to use the Garena client from what I've seen so they probably never got the traffic they were hoping for. I installed it on three different laptops directly from the pathofexile website and then type in "Singapore" for my gateway for lowering the ping from 150 to 50.

My main hope is that they keep the Singapore servers up. Before I knew about the Singapore server and was using California or Australia I would die a few times an hour to lag. Last month has been much better since the change.

Even if the XP nerf doesn't affect your character now, it certainly influences your motivation to grind. You know what's coming and if, like 80%+ of players, you're already struggling to grind passed level 90 then further time investment can begin to feel pointless. All the RNG in crafting /currency use and super diluted drop tables /overly abundant low/mid level unique bias in endgame maps only adds to the poor feelings of reward.

PoE is one of the least rewarding games out there with respect to playing the game. Most of the reward comes from trading/flipping and if that's not appealing to you, you'll eventually walk away from the game feeling empty.

yep, have cadiro like temp leagues in the future and compensate for this by introducing item degradation, (more) power creep as well as account bound items if they have a t1 affix. no thank you.

i really really would like to have feedback on how the chinese closed beta feature of "items before maps becoming account bound" turned out.

GGG is focused on the top end with elites outpacing their ability to create challenging content

no surprise top players have priority as they're reprenting a huge (major?) part of their advertising strategy.

have them faceroll high end content gives the false impression of the game being easy peasy which results in average players blaming the fault of being stuck somewhere on themselves.

the thing is, average players permanently underestimate the difference in time investment and skill which is making top players successful.

poe is a game where you have to adjust your expectations down if you play less than 10h/day even if you have top player's skill.

Aren't you tired from all the doomsday preaching about GGG? Any chance you get you seem to run with it and never look back or something...

Denial is strong in this community.

Welcome to the club OP, of the players who wish even if for sheer greed that GGG gave a fuck about their game.

And I mean like a real fuck.

Not this random pile on of content each league that got so out of control, the more retarded ways to progress have become the "accepted" ways of doing things, "if you know how to play".

While the new players that try to play the game as it made any sense they way it's design, are the noobs getting bullied out of the forums.

So I recently search for some poe stuff on google. An early link said that poe was dead. Really? Poe is dead??? Well, the post was from 2013 and poe is still alive and healthy, despite all its annoying flaws. And that is why its so difficult to take "concerns" like this seriously. People assumes that everyone feels the same as they do and powdered with some steam statistics, the game must be dead. Its been going on since alpha.

Games die thats a fact of time or all of you would still be playing Diablo 2 right now or even 1.0.

So, just speaking for myself, thats my main reason for hiatus. I've done everything in this game many times. Just gets old.

Add in the notorious Lab, nerfs to some fun builds, stupid atlas, no real end game (think infinite rifts) I just wasnt having fun. No fun means no play.

EXP never cared about. I'm not into numerology or grinding 20 hours for a level on boring content.

The reason I quit was when they added that extra labyrinth to get two more points for your character... I believe you had to do over 200 maps to get the pieces to get them or something ridiculous like that. I am all about game being hard, but placing an RNG wall like that was just too much. Farming enchants in Labs was horrible enough that then they added even more labs to the game... no thanks.

Knowing GGG, I bet getting those two last points for your ascendency class has not gotten any less tedious.

POE was a great game, just that there are many new great games now. I am stuck playing Battlefield 1 until that asian diablo-like game comes out (forgot the name of it)

EDIT: Here is hoping GGG learns from all the mistakes PoE has and releases PoE 2 with another graphics engine (unreal engine would be great), because PoE's current one clearly does not cut it... even though it has improved immensely because despite all its flaws, it is STILL the best of its genera.

This whole posting is so full of bad casuals that watch streams and now think that they should do the same stuff as Streamers that play 20h a day do.

PoE has some minor Flaws but overall its a very healthy game with lots of options for endgame stuff for every level from casual to "Pro".

Just Greed and Jelly in this thread from casuals that want to be pros with no learning or time investment.

Worst games than this one make enough profit to still exist.

Games we don't even heard of once, local indie almost amateur games.

I see where I think POE can be, in particular in this genre where there are few options,

and I see how the game and GGG have been going about things the last years,

and it's sad.

If you are gonna play semantics, then yea, until GGG is broke and they pull the plug on the server,

then the game is alive.


Good work lad! Get a cookie!
