Edit: url button here is broken? A, no, working at least halfly without the name of link.

The URL button works just fine. See?

Well OP's right about a lot of things.

He's going to get white-knighted (WK) though, guaranteed.

You know why WK's are mostly people with lots of supporter packs? Because if things are shit then it makes all the time and money they invested somewhat of a mistake, and people can't face being wrong so they prefer to keep the illusion things are not what they are.

You should add a section about the gfx glitches, poorer performance and missing audio from quest npcs etc. 3.0 is pretty meh indeed, such cool artwork and potential, but dodgy performance, unfinished content/bugs and pointless pantheon system kinda ruin it.

Not everyone with supporter packs WKs this game.

I have plenty of issues with it especially after the nerf festival 3.0 was. Plenty of players here just don't say shit because there doesn't seem to be a point.

You forget a lot of the players with a lot of supporter packs has been here since the beginning. Many of them just go without saying a word because they know they are in a minority.

It's all relative.

However, as long as reddit balances this game the old guard will leave since their builds get destroyed every patch. Not once a year... not once every six months or so... but every patch.

Some players put up with it because the play leagues and don't care (*raises hand*) others get pissed because they only play standard which is supposed to be for "long term investment in characters if you don't have as much time to play".

It's all relative...but no not all multipack supporters are WKs.

Also funny how the second poster (white knight) said that he used a minion build to cheese Shaper... i mean if such builds exist in the game, then the game IS easy. You acting like golems is the only cheese build for Shaper lol?

I was the second poster. I was not white knighting.

However, you can't bring a gun to a knife fight and say "oh so easy".

You know he doesn't even HAVE TO BE ALIVE for him to beat that boss right with that setup?

Yes... in this context OP's comment is dumb as fuck.

"Man this FPS is so easy when I have GODMODE turned to on."

Get a clue.

^ Don't bother to argue with people that accuse others of being white knights.

Probation dodging version: It's pointless.

and then i get 1% xp on a t15 map while i get 3% on a t12. how is this even possible?

it is unbelievable

the performance is terrible

loggin in always requier 2 tries ..at least

the loading is so slow i have to wait for my stash

the general performance was fantastic for me in 2.6

but now i am looking for a new game tbh

the pc version got some strange xbox smell

damn this is a shame

PoE is/was/could be the best game (without lab/pantheon)

thats what they should have done:
expanding with new areas = ok
working on skills and the unique skilltree = ok
balancing for PvP = ok
creat good fx and gimmics for the game to buy = ok

Lab and all other distraction = no go in a game like PoE imho

shards of wisdom / shards of portal ...etc is another thing

aaaargh i am really mad about the fact that all this happen here in PoE.

are u serious?

Yeah, game needs to be harder again. Gone are the times when it could be difficult to kill a regen rare, where you couldn't "maprush", where you actually had to approach packs of enemies carefully.
Problem is, there are mechanics that trivialize 99% of the content, yet GGG still shys away from nerfing them into the fucking ground.
The game has simply become way too fast for there to be any challenge. Unless you impose some limitators on yourself.

The difficulty of a game should not be determined by how slow it takes to kill monsters, but by the mechanics of the game and it's only natural that as a player gets more experienced with a game then the game will feel easier. Sure there are things that need to be balanced, but at the same time people need to realise though this is still a game, it is also a business and funds peoples livelihood so GGG need to be able to release new contend and expansions to bring in new players and expand their player base which they are doing an amazing job at.

Game balance is not an easy task and nor or optimising a game for everyone as not everyone has the same PC specs believe it or not so GGG can't be expected to be able to get the game working 100% on every PC as the hardware / software differences between everyone might as well be infinite. For instance I have had 1 crash this league and that is it, besides that it has been fine but other people get frequent crashes and lag a lot (mostly due to running potato PCs, but not always).
