An ultimatum to GGG
|
+1, nerves understandable, but this blatantly easy way to deal with power creep is lazy, something other companies would do but not GGG, they don't just up HP of mobs, increase density and half damage and speed of players to fix it, noo.. that's something only other game companies do.
edit: I played it last week, am a slow player, but the game becomes unbearable boring. They put in 25% worked nerves fix and forgot about the other 75% where correct balancing was done. Wanna battle power creep, then target that audience and leave nooby me alone. Last edited by Shadeless01#5109 on Aug 2, 2021, 10:04:42 AM

Don't get too attached to builds.
Adopt an open mind. Be willing to adapt. Be shapeless, like water And then these nightmares can be conquered But if we doing any rollbacks, I would suggest we roll back to 1.2 and then add the new maps, bosses and league mechanics from there. |

You cannot direct the wind, only your own sails.
Do not cry about the storm, learn to dance in the rain. Did people really want to play same builds for the rest of POE's existance? "Be like water" Adapt or perish. Peace and blessings to all! Last edited by mGravitus#5713 on Aug 2, 2021, 1:49:42 PM

How about, ignore your talk about a vision and make your own private league to enjoy your own vision.
You can fund enjoying your own vision in your ssf private league, by reverting the fun/QoL killing changes introduced in 3.15 Shouldn't the vision of the great mind behind a successfull game be to provide an amazing product which the majority of the consumers are enjoying? Wouldn't bringing underused skills in line improve the flexibility and thus the enjoyment of the players, compared to gutting half the games core mechanics? Does it matter if player X enjoys dps'ing sirus phases in 1 second if he has fun doing so playing your fking game? With the prior powercreep, I COULD CHOSE WHAT I WANTED TO DO, I could play some garbage tier build, I could use worse items/self imposed conditions for a challenge. Who are you as a Game Studio "telling" me how I am supposed to have fun according to your so called vision? Players enjoyed your game for near a decade just fine right now and you were doing a good job until you decided to pull a 180 on the core gameplay under the guise of some god damn vision, which apparently suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

GGG is forcing new layer of struggle on everybody. But thinking that the struggle to perform, forced to everything, will even remotely even out the play field is completely flawed.
But what is absolutely unforgivable for past couple leagues are GGG statements that "they are aware of the problems they are introducing into the game" but they do not learn or project the observations into the new deployments? It is super annoying. 3.13 golden age, bring it back. I represent only myself, my own thought and believes. I am individual, not a representative of the community.
I am not speaking on behalf of someone else and I don't get offended by things that have nothing to do with me. 3.13 was the golden age. |

While I do not agree on 3.13 being the golden age, due to harvest being way over the top, while also killing the gameflow by managing the grove. Those are OPTIONAL activities I can chose to do, or not based on how I feel about it.
If change really is needed, how about bringing bad feeling skills/ascendencies/flasks in line with the more "powerful" ones. In this sandbox game we can always self-impose our challenges. I mean if you feel like sirus is too easy on your 400m dps char, nobody is forcing you to do sirus on that char, you can always roll a different char and not care about min maxing it to its fullest. The endgame before had a "difficulty slider" based on how much you did invest before doing it. Everybody could have fun after breaching their personal investment gate, and the gameplay before didn't feel bad, maybe you had to limit yourself to not run guardians aid or 100% delirius maps. But the choices were up to the players, we now lost the control of our entertainment, and the choices were taken away from us. Dear GGG I really do wonder if you just projected decisions made because of statistic to the players who actually are playing your game, or if recently ever bothered playing the game yourself and imposed your decisions because of your experience in the game. -edit- My personal golden age of PoE was definitely synthesis Farming salt on the forums since 2024 Last edited by Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index#1288 on Aug 2, 2021, 5:18:25 PM

" I LOVED synthesis. I broke my hand in the beginning of the league and still kept playing with 1 hand ^^ Never made more exalts in 1st month of the league :D I also loved the puzzle mechanic too. It was great. Trust your mind and strengthen your abilities!

" It is just a sign of their incompetence, just like how they backed up from a change that cost them 70 hours to make. It really shows how they are incapable of foreseeing the results of their changes. Trust your mind and strengthen your abilities!
