An Update from Chris

Thanks for the post, I think it was a needed post for the community, and looking forward to the Q&A, myself don't have many issues with PoE at this point, only minor ones that are not in priority.

And I'm very happy to hear that the the health, happiness and passion to the employees are being prioritised, and not overworked! Happy and healthy developers make great games with passion, stressed and overworked developers make rushed games without passion, and the quality of the content shows.

All of you at GGG got all my support and trust in doing it good!

hmm I wonder how many supporter tags I have now...

I can imagine how the development of leagues plus everything else can become overwhelming, makes me wonder if they have consider making the league cicle four months instead of three.

It won't help. The pull for players is economy reset, new skills and new content. You could do league every 2 months if one would focus solely on the new skills and the other on the content.
I am not sure how many people enjoy stale grind without anything new for 4 months, and do not play Standard league.
Not even those who "follow" streamers play along if there are no breaks, not even mathil boyz.

Everyone makes mistakes or missteps. You all are human like any of us playing this game. I prefer you take your time, and work 8 days rather than rush, make a toxic work environment, and over work developers. Sure synthesis wasn't the best, but the game is still fun to play.

That was an extremely thoughtful post. You were clear on an amazing amount topics. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the update Chris!

Might I suggest a little improvement on the current mechanics:
1. Bestiary mods seems a little underwhelming, considering other options you have in the game. Maybe improve it a little more?
2. Prophecy isn't really that fun and the rewards are bad. Plus you need really good RNG.
3. Essenses are also underwhelming now.
4. The veiled mods can really take a long playing game to reveal. Maybe reduce the RNG for the mods?
5. Correct Enchants are nearly impossible to get, unless you buy from other players...

Good luck and keep up the great work ! TEAMMMMMM

Keep up the good work guys and thank you for this great game

This proves how much I love this game. Synthesis is my least favorite league, but I still play POE just about every day.

i'd like to you guys have a better look for São Paulo server in the next 3.7.0, i know Brazil is not in your list but some Brazil players has stop to play because of this. Is not worth spend a lot of time and money when the other games dont have the same lag spike issue constantly.
