ggg has some talented people there but their design and balance principles leave much to be desired. i suppose they really dont care as long as their mtx still sells like hotcakes. remember its the players this game owes success to	Posted by Deleted on Mar 10, 2014, 11:25:53 PM Banned
Honestly, if they toned down the 1 shot mechanics and absurd life for some of the invaders, this league would actually be extremely amazing. But "its a thin line between love and hate." GGG listens to its fans!!! Thank you!	Posted by Catchafire2000#0702 on Mar 10, 2014, 11:46:33 PM Quote this Post

Wish I had given it to the folks making GD. Ah well. such is life. This is incredibly disheartening, what unique did you make? Did they nerf it or make it so you couldn't make it the way you want? Also, Grim Dawn...is it good haha, it's on sale, I would try it if you recommended it. I will respond to more posts tomorrow, I wanted to send one out before I went to bed, the internet went out and I just got it back, so I will respond to posts then. I appreciate you all for responding with your thoughts and ideas, I hope it reflects on this game at a later time.

They want crap drops to force trade, they want 1 shot mechanics. Like you I have been here on and off since CB also I at that time I thought the game would only get better. It has gotten worse. GGG is aware of all the issues you have brought up, they just dont care and seem to be making a game to cater to the 1%. I find that strange because its a sure way to lose alot of players, and a FTP game like this needs all the players it can get, unless they just dont care to make any money. Too many people to quote but this pretty much sums up how I feel.	Posted by feyith#0081 on Mar 11, 2014, 1:18:22 AM Quote this Post
Overall, GGG has done an outstanding in most regards except rmt punishment for obvious users and desync but tbh the latter never affected me. Do I wish I could get a refund for over the top mtx and stash tabs? sure. Was the money going towards a good game? I think so.

Just got to the point where i quit this game, while there are some nice content addition the game overall became an unplayable shit for me, charging out 3 times from a pack while hiting the hp flask like crazy and still dying, then typing oos to see i was 2 fucking screen away is nothing to do with my player skill or my gear, it's plain shit netcode, and GGG won't fix that ever. They just don't care. it was a very promising game at CB but at this point, where with 80+% resist and full hp nodes and hp gear you get fuckin' 1 shot from the newly added bosses, i just feel like i felt in d3 1.0 inferno, where from act2 the game become unplayable, anything hits you you are dead, and thats fuckin not right, GGG can't understand this, and with every content update there are new mobs/bosses that does 2x much damage than the actual hardest hitters in the game. You said you'll develop this game for 10 years, what will await us then in 10 years? 20k hp players with 99% all res 99% mitigation will be 1 shot? I'm done with this unbalanced nonsense. While you have to gear yourself up like crazy with melee, you'll get the most desync, the most damage taken, still can't survive with defensive nodes, while others in crappy blue items blast the whole screen with 1 shot from far away. And yet, melee's still getting nerfed. Things like this was stated like 10000 times over these years yet GGG still doesn't care. The said they make this game for themself, then shut down the servers and play it offline. "I'm programmed to say something that is kind and uplifting at this point, but there is apparently an error that is working in my favor."

" Thaelyn wrote: I, too, regret the amount of money with which I supported GGG and PoE. I should have waited longer to make my decision to do so. I don't, however, regret it for the same reasons the OP does. I actually have that regret because my thinking is more along the line of Charan's than the OP's. My post history here will show a lot of complaints about the issues the OP brought up, but ultimately those were issues I could live with as I (at the time) still had hope for the game. What drove me away in the end was Chris Wilson. A company's attitude toward it's customer goes a long way with me. I may be alone in this, but I'll ignore a game I could potentially love if I disagree with the development philosophy behind it. I vehemently disagree with what I learned (too late) to be the philosophy behind PoE. When Chris said in his interview with Athene that people who play in soft core do so because they're not mentally strong enough for hardcore and that people who don't like trading just don't know what's fun I lost any respect I had for him, GGG, and PoE. I also lost any hope for the future of the game. Elitist douchebag bullshit might attract a small niche audience of similarly delusional players, but hardly enough to keep a company afloat, I think. They may prove me wrong, and more power to 'em if they do, but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think it's a recipe for 10 post launch years, as they've said they envision. In the end, it's their game to do with as they will. Had I known who these people were, though, they would not have seen a cent of my money and I would never have even downloaded the client. I completely share your feelings about the above and what people have said for the game. To be honest, if you have researched Chris`s background you would have been prepared for what came after :) They are all elitist douches, true. And they had the possibility to make a game which caters for their 0.001% likeminded people. And they did so. Hey more power to them. I am sure the devs are quite happy. I quit long time ago, when i realized what you did now, and was lurking in the forums. All the people i knew from closed beta, quit looong time ago as well. I will be just curious to see how long they can sustain PoE with around few thousands players.	Posted by Stormer81#3293 on Mar 11, 2014, 4:29:42 AM Quote this Post
I suppose I understand where the disappointment comes from, but I can't say I agree with it. I agree with Charan, in that I supported PoE and GGG with the amount that I did expecting that I'll be sticking around for at least five more years, to witness not just PoE's but also GGG's evolution. That includes any future games that GGG might decide (or not) to make. It's in my interest to see GGG survive. So I can't really imagine being disillusioned to the extent that I regret supporting these people. It sounds rather extreme, especially because they have often demonstrated significant game design intellect. This isn't the say that they are perfect, because (for instance) GGG does somewhat suck at balancing and this is compounded by the glacial pace they move at and it hamstrings the game more often than not. But I look at the big picture and I see nothing that compels me to say "fuck this shit, I'm out". Maybe I'll express that particular regret in five years. But even so, would I consider the money a waste? That sounds so damn bitter. I guess the deciding factor is whether one decides to project one's own desires and expectations onto the game and the people one decides to support. I knew that was a bad idea, so I refrained from it. Have you made a cool build using The Coming Calamity? Let me know!	Posted by ephetat#3689 on Mar 11, 2014, 5:45:04 AM Quote this Post
