Reasoning behind the overwhelming negative response to the latest developer update from supporters.
"But when they become more visible? Holy shit will these forums go crazy. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" It is long overdue for an overhaul. I am not hopeful it will come in Act 4 but you never know. "Danger is like jello, there's always room for more."

This thread is useless.
It's just another "don't add more features until you 'fix' existing problems" whine thread. People like the OP act as if the team is made of only 2 or 3 people. They can work on multiple projects simultaneously, you know. Also, I'm sure they are very aware of the issues listed since they are whined about constantly across all the forums. I'm all for having them fix problems, but it makes sense to add the new content first and fix problems from there rather than trying to get everything "perfect," then introducing new problems that require changing or undoing previous fixes in order to make the new fixes work. As for "people with supporter packs" nonsense--fuck 'em. Just because you payed $xx amount doesn't mean your opinion is more valid. Plenty of people support the game via stash tabs, cosmetics, and other non-"supporter pack" MTX purchases. Even people who haven't paid (yet) have just as valid of an opinion. /thread |

" This very approach is the exact reason why this game is full of unsolved, swept under the rug, problems. Bugs, skills, items, tree nodes, balance and mechanics decisions. To a point current state of the game has become nothing but a trash can. It's not only common sense and professional approach missing, but it also lacks any kind of technical thought and good practices. But if they find followers to excuse, love and, most important, pay for the half-done work of theirs, it's all fine. This is a buff © 2016

" You misunderstand. I fully share your frustration that so many issues have gone untouched for so long. However, I did state in my post that fixing the problems should be part of the game plan. The problem isn't that they are adding new content; it's that they fail to address problems afterward. |

" I believe that his point was that the resources that are going into adding new content are the same resources that should have been and are not going into fixing old content. | |
" I understand that, and if GGG would simply take one season and extend it 1-3 months, after Act 4 releases, to use that time to fix all the issues they can, they'd be in great shape to move forward from there. Asking them to stop working on a project they are near completing isn't logical or realistic. |

The reason why people complain about the forthcoming balance changes concerning the cwdt + ec + ic + id bug is that they were too long delighted with immunity against physical damage. Now that the change is announced they fear that their pleasant journey is over and they realize that the time of glass cannon cockie cutter builds is over. And instead of adjusting they bring QQ to the forum. And as a result GGG will capitulate to them and create an easy way to counter physical damage because they fear that otherwise many players will stoppplaying poe and they rightfully fear this consequence because as we all know, path o exile is losing players. However this is another question.

Well, most games are losing players. It's just that they are also gaining them. It does feel like poe is on the downhill, but Act 4 may revive it. We'll just have to wait and see.

" Thats true, i just had a look on the steam charts and it looks dark: October 2013: 19,3k players, Last 30 days: 5,8k players Of course not all players use steam but i think that at least 20-30 percent use the platform. |
