Chris really should stop posting and commenting on Reddit

Lab still sux but its only with you 30-60 minutes total if you do it four times which is what 99% of people do. This POS is persistent. Big difference.


Yeah but the beasts are 100% optional. You can skip them or engage them as much as you want. Lab on the other hand is "optional" meaning it really isn't. You kind of have to do it.

So I struggle to see validity in the complaints about Bestiary league as a whole, though I do understand complaints about the "clunkiness" of nets.

My thing with this league is that playing it makes *me* feel like a failure.

I love the concept. And the idea of being able to do targeted crafting is great, since I've mostly migrated to SSF.

But I'm an utter failure at capturing beasts. It didn't help that I started with a summoner, and my minions would kill things before I could cast a net.

So I switched to a melee build. And I still can't seem to get the balance between not killing a beast immediately and being able to kill it in 3 seconds once it has been netted.


Play as a Witch. For all the people claiming it's a glass cannon class it hits like fluffy marshmallows onto Kitava's firepit at ALL points of the game unless you're running something powered by Phys (and that leads into other classes being better picks...), so Red and most Yellow beasts can survive a good volley of your hits. Takes me a good 2-3 minutes to wittle down any Red's because of the shear amount of health they have before you've even hit mapping...(more proof that no one tested them when rushing to end-game).

I think he should break up with the community, period. Let Bex do the CM's job of soothing the tantrums and teasing the content, here and on reddit. She's very good at it. Chris should stick to higher profile stuff like interviews and news announcements. At this point, all this negative energy both here and on reddit can only be discouraging when I feel the best thing for GGG to do is write Bestiary off as an interesting, educating failure and get to work on 3.3+.

This hasn't been a healthy relationship for a while now.



not a bad idea really

I dont see any any key!
If any more confirmation was needed if you're not on Reddit in terms of PoE you aren't heard, whether its good or bad feedback.

Reddit is the official forum of PoE has been for a long long time.

Tbh would love to know why someone in Chris's position is even commenting on Reddit in the first place.

Reddit is so unhealthy for the game and its long-term community.
I can exploit him for what he is without repercussions on reddit.
Honestly I check reddit as often with the main site. Because why not? It's great Chris is engaging with the community but with his role with the company...it's better delegated to someone else and rather not seeing him being lynch mobbed by keyboard warrior fanbois.

I'd argue there is a big difference between a forum and an echo chamber. Especially with an upvote system, and users become punished for having differing opinions (post flood increases to 10 minutes)

I like that Chris posted some stats to counter the hyperbole. Posting something because you know about the things people are saying then getting on with your job is a LOT different to FURIOUSLY TYPING and refreshing the thread (and every other one mentioning you/ your company/ the league etc) every 20 seconds while chain smoking and downing Mountain Dew.

I mean, projection Redditors?

Sure, that's downplaying what must be pretty stressful, but yeah. Maybe the bestiary experience will give rise to a Media Rep role or something. Who knows?

Speaking of stats and hyperbole, I am looking forwards to some stats from this league. It's no secret that if you're immersed in playing, generally you're not too interested in posting online.

I still <3 Einar.



And just to rub salt into the wound one more time Christ posts important message on Reddit exlusively - https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/839tuf/a_note_about_how_many_people_used_the_item/

I will say this: what do you prefer: an endless stream of 'craft rare with X mod' or an essence over which you have a lot of control? Sadly that's how the forum feels, an endless stream of cesspool with some good drops scatered here and there. Not to say that reddit is perfect, but the 'eco chamber' effect makes it sooo much nicer to read. Plus, it feels so good not having to go through 10 pages of two people bickering over some pointless matter.
