Would you pay to have GGG focus exclusively on fixing the game issues but no new content?

GGG finally admitting graphics engine sucks, cool.

You must be new here.

They mentioned several times in the past that they are limited by the possibilities of their engine.

For me the biggest annoyance are the many crashes.
If I do not run the game as admin, I crash anytime I simply open the options screen.
Often I crash when mucking about with my stash or vendors.
Sometimes I crash during the actual gameplay, but that is rare.
The error code usually is 0xC0000005, dereferencing null pointers maybe? I suppose there is not a client available for download that includes debug symbols haha?

Whenever I am in a party, 9 out of 10 times I see at least one other player crash.

ive said this many times on email with Michael or kieren from GGG and even making a thread on feedback section( to focus on tweaks and performance before all other content)
never to be noticed , i play POE on a quite high end rig and been supporting GGG with fuckload of tabs and inviting many of my friends to come and play which they did

despite of that without the generous donation i gave and the referalls thing ,,can u guys imagine opening a fucking trade chat will make the fps go from stable 60 to stable 40 on solo and on the lowest settings imagineable,,
and the trade system and party board is damn awful to see ,,i for one wont complain wont desync though ,,

SO NO at least opening trade chat fps break is unacceptable ,,it should be fixed even when the game reached open beta ,theres been fuckload of complaints and barely any response ,even now in release (i will say it again FOCUS ON TWEAKS AND PERFORMANCE BEFORE CONTENT!)

/thread

If you don't like the way GGG decides to handle their game, leave.

Oh. No we don't.

That's not correct. Anyone and everyone can vote, with their dollar. Welcome to responsible consumerism.

I've been saying this for almost a year now it seems like.Instead of GGG wasting money on worthless micro transactions and expansions /new content ,fix the "Aids Desync Virus" that plagues this game instead...Even if GGG were to be able to improve it by 75% ,it would be enough to get back lots of fed up players who left POE long ago after the Aids Desync virus ran rampant and killed this game.There is honestly no valid reason to invest any more money from players supporting POE due to the fact that GGG has done absolutely nothing over the past year to address game playability issues.The game ran better in closed beta and when they optimized the game things just got worse.What this game needs unfortunately is pretty much all the players need to go on strike and just stop playing for around a month or 2 and then by some act of god just maybe GGG will get the hint and do what it takes to have a proper running game. I personally wouldn't give this company another penny for improved game play just because dedicated supporters of POE have already donated $millions and GGG just pissed it all away on microtransactions....

So, you want them to stop generating income to spend the income ( wich they stopped generating ) on... no wait, they stopped generating the income. Pro plan this, did you think of this yourself?

It's not the players fault GGG is unable to budget there accounts properly.They have had more then enough time to save some funds to fix what matters the most to players..That the game is actually fucking playable with all specs/builds not just the desync friendly boring builds.Here is just 1 example of GGG's business model.Well around 40 to 50 % of our player base are all complaining about desync.Lets just design a few sick looking new helm skins and a few new spell gem effects and they will all be satisfied...We don't need solid game stability when we make your characters look like gods...

Remaking half the game yeah. A lot of art would get screwed right off the bat. All shaders and materials would no cross over. So anything with material settings would have to be remade. We would have to remake ever skill effect in the game. If you count ever monster in the game that around 2 and a half years work for me : P Then there's still the environment effects. I dont think many people would want to wait 3+ years for a new skill and new monsters just so we can swap engines and make the game run nicer. Its a nice idea sure. However we still have 50 or so people here at ggg to pay.

Im sure if it was easy to swap to another engine we would have done so already. As our limited engine slows down production for many of our art department members.

So, its a custom built engine right? why not implement the missing features? im sure if you hire a couple of guys they can get things going there, im not talking about building a better engine than ue4, but adapting this old engine to today standards.

By the way, i dont mind the art or the graphics, i think this game is a masterpiece as it is.
