General Discussion - POE sure seems to be losing a lot of steam - Forum

Really not the best attitude to take. I see this a lot on the forums. This kind of high and mighty attitude towards everyone who has legitimate complaints about the game is just a recipe for having your Path of Exile end a lot sooner than it would otherwise. I read a lot here...there is a trend. There are several people on These forums that whine, bash, complain all the time. There is a trend to their posts...doesn't matter the issue...they just bash. I am 100% in favor of providing feedback to GGG (this is beta after all), but there are a few people here that have contributed very little other than whining. It is as if it is there mission in life to cry about everything and only point out the negatives. Boggles my mind that they do this when in reality you do not have to pay a dime for the product. By definition...spoiled effing brats.	Posted by fredbsd#2467 on Mar 3, 2013, 7:39:26 AM Quote this Post
Whether they are willing to admit it or not, most people complaining just wish the game was better. Better suited to their tastes perhaps but a free game that is in beta needs player support. If relatively huge numbers of people are complaining about the same thing then to ignore it might just be a sign of extreme arrogance on the part of a game designer. I bet a lot of disaffected people don't bother speaking up, they just stop playing. Just saying.	Posted by poltus#5374 on Mar 3, 2013, 9:33:08 AM Quote this Post

It cheapens the other defensive options, reduces the need for exploration of builds and is just boring. It kills motivation to play because you just stop caring that you will have another skill point to spend when you're just going to open the passive map, click HP and close it. This is one of my biggest disappointments with PoE. Likewise. However, let's hope for changes in the future.	Posted by JJ108X#0677 on Mar 3, 2013, 9:42:20 AM Quote this Post

I haven't been playing as much as I was because it's too frustrating to trade for what you want. I played Diablo 2 for 8 years, but that was different. We had a much bigger community and the ability to create games for the sole purpose of trading "WTS Tal Rasha set" IGN: Obsii Twitch.tv/Obsolithion	Posted by Bmxant#7422 on Mar 3, 2013, 9:50:11 AM Quote this Post

GGG didn't fix the issue i wanted to see" kind of attitude here man. you do that in D3/wow where all garbage belong. " Don't feel bad OP. We're well aware of how mandatory health nodes feel right now for surviving end-game content, and we're exploring a bunch of different ways to address this problem. Bear in mind that major changes to the passive tree and to game mechanics take a lot of time, tuning and testing, and we don't like to make capricious design decisions. I'm confident that we'll arrive at a solution that makes the game better for everyone. Feel a little better?

My opinion is that after desync, they need to focus on much a better trading system, much better low level combat experience and much much better art direction in the first 2 acts. I think there are major issues with the way the races are run as well but those only cater to a small percentage of the population. Oh jesus christ. xfire? REALLY? I figured most people grew out of that, kinda like instant messaging or something.	Posted by folderpirate#0229 on Mar 3, 2013, 5:11:56 PM Quote this Post
don't underestimate xfire man. so many threads were made in D3 forum regarding this matter. haters do everything to hate. Last edited by Dudebag#0222 on Mar 3, 2013, 5:14:02 PM	Posted by Dudebag#0222 on Mar 3, 2013, 5:13:46 PM Quote this Post
