POE sure seems to be losing a lot of steam

GGG needs to advertise more!

The game encourages you to only play one build or suffer from desync/lag/town portal deaths on hardcore.

Or a huge 15% exp penalty death on softcore.

Tonnes of people have quit because the only viable builds revolve around NOT dying.

Glass cannon is NOT an option.

I see this as the biggest problem. I still play POE and am loving it, but the majority of complaints fall right in what this guy said. It also doesn't help that GGG has pretty much responded to the dysnc issue with complete disregard and referred to it as 'not' being a major issue on their plate (Which honestly left me speechless).

I don't think you people know what glass cannon means...

'Hey, I can't play in HC with my 100hp 10k dps character, fix this now!'

Only yesterday there were 6 or 7 threads about HC chars dying in loading screen. Not a single one of them got GGG response. I guess nothing short of prominent streamer death would make them, at least, admit that there is a problem.

I kind of agree that we need too much HP / ES nodes just to survive. I would suggest to modify %8 HP / ES nodes to 12% and 12%s to 18% and so on.

And if you need me too, I will even quote each and every one of their posts for clarity.

I agree. I wondered that as well.

Nice try.

I guess meaning of "yesterday" somehow eludes you.

Zoning deaths were fixed, supposedly.

Please clarify of link me to responses regarding loading screen deaths lately. Preferably yesterday or today. Or after the zoning deaths were fixed.

Don't worry, soon statistics will go up, cause 1 person = 6 clients.

I believe this falls into desync issues, which as my post showed, they were aware of and attempting to fix. I cant be held accountable for that, but thats the closest thing I can find to anything of a lag death being recognized. And FYI...lag is the same as desync. Mostly.

So February 9 which ends with: "Chris is the final authority on this issue and I've said too much about an issue that isn't in my purview already so please look forward to his forthcoming post on desync!" is most recent one you gave me.

Thanks. Looking forward to Chris' post. Only bit less than month has passed. Can't be far away, since they obviously think that is a priority.
