Loved 0.2 - Played every day for 8+ hrs. (~250 hrs) Not sure if new patch is reason but bored now

Just my experience - 250 hours played. 2 Characters, 3 different builds

Maybe I was close to being done anyways Im not really sure. But I was really enjoying the game and didnt mind the loot levels. Maybe a tiny buff would have been nice but don't really enjoy this.

If loot stays at this level for next league I'll finish next league in a week.

Whereas on the old patch I played for 4 weeks straight with only a few days break for personal reasons.

Maybe I'll try SSF idk just my thoughts and where Im at atm

Leagues are meaningless. Everything you did in this one could have easily been done in the last. They are artificial carrots-on-a-stick.

Questions arise, have you done all the end game content (which is admittedly limited atm)?
Things like Xesht,Olroth,Arbiter etc?

Why are you bored? Have you maxed out your character and just have nothing left to do or did you hit a difficulty ‘wall’ etc?

Obviously you like the genre and general feel of the game, else you’d have not played so much.

Just being bored is feedback, but not useful to them (GGG) to make you less bored. Maybe some more information would help them make you happier?

People have explained in more or less the same manner why this league is boring. It's actually boring to keep repeating. Actually you it's so obvious it shouldn't even require any explanations.

Same, I was enjoying it, then saw more loot drop, and immediately felt meh

Can't really put a finger on why exactly, probably because the only way to improve on that is to play the stupid tower juicing game which to me is D4 level busywork

Yes I have, I'd hope pinnacles weren't an issue for someone with these many hours.

I was just enjoying the slow grind. Trade has fallen off a cliff since the patch hit. Being 4 weeks into league maybe the timing of trade feeling like this is just a perfect coincidence.

But the minutes and hours before the patch hit trade still felt pretty good, not amazing as in the first 2-3 weeks obviously but still good and playable. It's very bad now.

If loot stays at this level for next patch I'd be done with the league very quickly on trade. But on the bright side, I'll go over to SSF and enjoy that and take a break from trade league if it comes to that.

GGG can use analytics and general feedback to figure out whats going on. Check discords, general chats, and poe forums (not reddit that place will destroy this game) and you'll see people expressing their concerns.

Player numbers look decent and will for this weekend I imagine. But my gut tells me that player numbers after Sunday will tank considerably but its so late in league that it can be chalked up to being 4 weeks into league and its no big deal. Maybe thats true or maybe 0.2g Diablo Loot Reborn isnt such a good idea. Time will tell.

New drops are fine, the buff is not that crazy, we're still far from D3.

Ok good reply, and thank you for expanding on your first post.
I’m currently at 93 on my build done 3 Xesht, no Olroth but tbh haven’t farmed him, still trying to find 2/3 citadels to do Arbiter and generally speaking having a good time but also not playing as ‘hard’ as I would a poe1 league (honestly I’m a challenges driven poe1 player).
Someone mentioned towers being “busy work” which I don’t understand, run one, add tablets and keep going. Adds juice and difficulty to maps around it (more so with intersecting towers).
Trade bumped when patch landed but seems to be settling down again mostly now.
I agree player numbers will drop at the end of the weekend, I’d imagine they do every weekend as some players work. And yes it’s been a month (which for a ‘hard core’ player is basically end of league anyhow).
Playing more casually in poe2 I’ll be around maybe another 2-3 weeks but not anywhere near 8 hours a day, 2 max average I’d guess.
Don’t see anything specifically ‘wrong’ with the game, sure needs some QoL additions and the rest of the acts and classes but we knew they were ‘missing’ when we signed up and we know they’ll come in due course.
TLDR if you like the game enough to play hard (as you have) but are ‘burnt out’ then take a break and see what the H patch brings or really take a break and see what 0.3.0 brings (I’d guess July/August for that)
