I'm Unhappy I Put As Much Money As I Did In This Game

(duplicate)

People need to stop talking about whiners and QQ'ers, as that in itself is a whine/QQ.

The fact is, PoE wouldn't be where it is now without this feedback.

White knights saying "everything is great, game is perfect" doesn't help the devs one bit. People saying things need work, does.
And the devs are smart enough to know the difference between a legitimate concern and one that is not (on the most part).

If I didn't "QQ" about searing bond back in CB (and no one else did either), not only would it still do pitiful damage, but you'd be crashing every 2 mins when you combined it with other totems, for example.

If we didn't all "QQ" about melee being trash before general release, it would most likely still be trash.

The simple fact is, complaints are more useful to developers than praise.

Most of my posts aren't "positive praise" of the game, completely the opposite. Not because I'm "hating" on PoE and GGG, but because I like it, and want to see improvement. If I didn't care, I wouldn't post. I'd just quit and play another game. This isn't "whining", this is me trying to be helpful (although my cynicism and sarcasm bleed through rather heavily).
I've had an entire patch implemented based solely on my feedback/bug reports, and had Chris himself respond to my mails, agreeing with my concerns.

"QQ's" progress the game, praise does not. So let's all take these threads for what they really are.

i agree with loot drops, i want moar better loot :3 But that doesnt mean im right, and i should get it. Tho getting 90% of the time 3 blues from a invasion boss is quite NOT FUN FUN FUN ;_;
Love every other aspect of the game.

ps. MOAR SKILL GEMS


ps. :3

ps. im not from reddit or justgirlythings

We did, we pointed it was useless on numerous occasions, and devs fixed it, now it's useful... probably overfixed it, it's too useful now, some middleground would be perfect, I don't really see it as a main skill material but as a nice tank support.

I think he is just raging because he woke up and found out he isn't Krupp of Hugo and has to deal with not getting amazing drops. Get over it bro that's the point, if everyone had the best drills how challenging would it be? You want an east game go play diablo 3.

half of my buddies who are pretty hardcore players already quit over the invasion bullshit. We were no where rushing like the other streamers. But my small group of friends was all in the top 10 of our respective classes. My friend was a 5800 hp scion on the third day of the league i believe with 79 FR and when we entered the first room in a ZERO DAMAGE museum map mods , he died instantly from a fire nova totem ( i survived thanks to AA ). He alt-f4ed in max 0.5sec at half hp and was daed when he logged it. Since i saw it happen , i actually believe it was an INSANE fast reaction on his side and good play to react so fast .. also he doesnt believe in logout macros , so he alt f4's.

The totem was impossible to see since it was on top of the "room doors" in museum. 3 days later we still dont know which boss killed him mainly because we never get close to invasion bosses now. What a great mechanic. Anyway my friend has INSANE tolerance for bullshit and hardcore gaming and he said that he cant be arsed to put effort into a new hero when he knows sooner or lates the same crap is going to happen again. As a sidepoint the very same party consisting of those said friends of mine , we were the 2nd party on eu servers to reach inferno after method's one in the crapwhole diablo 3 was. We both played demonhunters and we were getting oneshotted for a few weeks farming stuff. So you can imagine our tolerance for crappy design is pretty high.

Another point my friend made was that he didn't want to start a new character because he likes to play melee and in order to survive some of the insta-death mechanics on this crap league you need spellblock. And he felt like it wasnt worthed to play if he is forced into certain build. After all we all play PoE partly because of the great diversity.

Also it is my friends' and mine combined opinion that the league is kind of easier than Nemesis. In Nemesis you had a constant challange dealing with rares. Here the only challange you have is not to get bored up to the point where you find the unique boss in the map. After that its just pure faceroll. Oh and the best part is half of those bosses you basicly skip since even WITH zero damage mods their mechanics are just bullshit e.g. Rima and most totem/trap/enrage bosses.

My last point is that as a hardcore group of gaming fans who played hardcore MANY games we are not in our teen years anymore. Most of us just dont have the will to restart playing after getting one shotted like this compared to the streamers who mostly play for a living or are students. We have families and jobs.

SO HERE I AM ONE OF THE BEST GEARED WITCHES IN INVASION SITTING FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS TRADING after work BECAUSE MOST MY FRIENDS ARE GONE THANKS TO THE BULLSHIT DESIGN. THANKS BROS!!!

p.s. Oh and my friends just play a few league games after work instead of poe ( release week vacation days well spent for all of us )

p.s.s. Thanks for the new contect GGG , i really have a big fucking initiative to play the game when most of my friends who were excited for the past 2 months to play this league quit and when the build i made CANT DO SHIT to atziri.

tldr:
-bullshit mechanics - check
-bullshit inaccessable new contect for 99% of the builds - check
-friends gone - check

I guess ill que a game of league now , see ya in 4 months GGG.

Metalsmith got kim.

One of the imo worst 6 bosses.

People really need to stop whining about getting one shot in hardcore, go play some ambush while you wait for balancing..

The balance devs believe one shotting makes a game hard.

Do you really expect some balance? "Oh they reduced the damage of soilmaker." yeah there are several other mobs which will one shot you with high reduce/resist.

This is just poor design.

do loot explode similar to exiles or wealth mobs.

I found 2 wealth mobs in 1 week nemesis they dropped garbage.
Exiles never dropped anything good too.

Hey everyone,

There's some really great feedback in here, I've tried to talk to Carl about some of the concerns we've been having, but I had to shorten them and I only got 1 response. It wasn't too desirable to my liking though, personally. It doesn't look good for RNG elements to slow down.

The only thing the game is missing is a link between those who play with each other through it, only had party go map, too low with a game online.

To be fair Chris is the more suitable person to discuss the general RNG design with, as he's responsible for the core design of the game. To be even more fair both of them are massively busy people, for good reason. You might want to try pinging Chris' mail regardless... and he will care, just don't expect a lengthy response.
