An ultimatum to GGG

So you will make the same thread every patch that introduces nerfs you don't like?

Yea, I will stick around for 1 more league.

However, there may come a breaking point, where a player's patience runs out and they call it quits just like I may do. When we reach that breaking point, where I call it quits, I will assure you so will do some percent of the base too.

Damn, sounds serious. I believe you should rethink your position. Bringing a whole gaming company down is not cool.

My first league was Bestiary (2018 iirc) and I have played most since then.

I typically do an aurabot, and I did this league, thinking, many players will need support, especially with high level clarity. And I've been totally right about this. When I join a party, often the first thing players do is check mana regen, when they used to check resists lol.

But here's the thing. I have ailment immunity, 5500 ES, high evasion, medium armour atm, high resists, 50% or so phys damage reduction (it will get higher), etc. so a typical solid aurabot, before min-maxxing.

But I am dying instantly on most T15-T16 maps, and most T15+ conqs, when before, in the same situation, I would survive.

And what is SUPER frustrating is, I don't even know why. When I die, my carry dies too and neither of us have any idea.

Earlier in the league, it was clearly shock that was causing damage spikes, but I have shock immunity now, but something is tearing through my defences.

And this is why I agree 110% with the OP, because the combination of changes in this league have made it so unenjoyable, so frustrating. I can't think of ways to surmount these problems, until I can get 3 point voices, and that isn't happening any day soon, because we are struggling to get chase items at all, and the currency-fest of the last few leagues is also over. (I've played many hours every day since league start, and I've had no exalts drop, and my main carry has had 1).

So, I too feel sad, because this was once a great game, but now has lost its way.


Damage spikes are real. I have experienced it and now that I am at my 3rd character, I know that it is not me, it is the game.

I will keep you on the hook just to be sure this thread stays alive. Stick around.

This update feels bad tbh.
If this is the vision they're moving towards then I'm going off the train now.
Loved the game from Perandus to Harvest(took a break and missed Ritual fuck me)
Good luck guys, based on track record they won't listen and double down on the clunkiness of the game just to get it to the "1.x" patch vibes I guess.
Your silly ultimatum is laughable. If you don't like them going back to an actual challenging game like they set out to be from the get go, then you should just go play something else.

Balance overhaul is clearly not done yet. Damage spikes are a problem. Defensives have too big opportunity cost. I'm sure they'll get there. I like the update and the direction its pointing to, even though it still seems too easy to archive 1 click 1 shot 3 screen builds.

No they won't get there. They can't get there.

Chis GODGAMER himself said in the past that he wanted PoE to be a game that you could play while watching TV.

And yet he never went past level 90. EVER.

And he played the most tankiest of builds.

FACT is that GGG staff does not play PoE. And balance changes are all based on paper thoughts.

Over the past two years they managed to suck the FUN out of the game.
A fact is a statement that can be supported to be true or false by data or evidence. In contrast, an opinion is a personal expression of a person’s feelings or thoughts that may or may not be based in data.

EXACTLY! On top of that, I will take a portion of the player base with me and there will be no more poe.

Watch out, we got a Pied Piper over here :)
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.
