Thanks for nothing - I'm done with this game

THIS GAME IS DEATH NOW !!!

Haven't had any luck what so ever finding blighted maps after the chest reward increasing patch. The drop rates are much lower now.

I've been finding them consistently all league. Not as many as I want (40-50 total), but consistently.

Obviously some people will get lucky, and others unlucky, but I believe a lot of the complaints about this are from people who are failing their blights more often than they remember, or don't do them every time, or got frustrated partway through the leauge and stopped doing them. Or maybe they just don't play the game that much.

I have to admit. I basically quit this league after I got the portal MTX. 90% of my guild has as well. The stability issues and losing expensively rolled maps (esp blight maps) was the final straw.

I absolutely love this game and have been playing for over 5 years now and I really hope to continue playing but this was the straw the broke this camel's back.

I have also supported GGG through supporter packs and because of the way the game has gone since the Tencent deal, I haven't given any more of my money to them at all. And the way things are going between China and other gaming industry companies, it's very disheartening to think about, but I don't buy the "They don't dictate our direction" because it's simply not true anywhere you look these days. I wish for this game to succeed but I can't help but think I'm supporting Tencent.

I love Chris and his crew, they've done amazing work but I'm putting Path on hold until I can feel good about playing this game again. As of right now, I can't see myself spending half my currency on blight maps just to lose them to massive lag spikes and also not being able to drop them often enough so it's not as big a deal losing them.

No flashback and also basically abandoning this league for 3.9 shows me what they think of their playerbase when we wish to keep playing but they'd rather push out another expansion/league instead... when the current one is only over a month old?? Shame. And I wish Qarl the best and hope this doesn't signal an exodus of talent from GGG ahead, but I am cynical of everything from here on forward.

Mechanics fall first then the people leave. It happens a lot to other games...

Incidentally this game is still the only game I can play with one hand in the cookie jar and the other hand clicking with my mouse. Literally.

(It's been that way ever since Tencent.)

lul, you are suppose to piano flask.. Dont you know flasks on their own double your dps?

Seems you must be playing iron cookie man mode without flasks..

Hi.

I must say I'm very dissapointed. I was watching the news all day yesterday and there were no report whatsoever of me leaving.

Anyway, I'm sorry for whining around- I feel a litte bit ashamed since I'm already a vet gamer with 40+, having started in the early 80s and now topping that with ragewhining around like a little child.

I'm a developer myself by trade (no games fortunately) so I know how things in big companies work when it comes to fixes ect. (basically like a Dilbert strip) and compared the the D3 debacle POE is still better- I even looking forward to the 4.0 presentation where I really hope they anounce the update for mobiles only.

Joking aside, this League is really a mess. It could have been fun, even if the drop rates in the maps are sucky, the mechanic would be ok fun IF these fu+++ng maps would drop. But they don't. They simply don't. Even for a powergamer who plays a couple of hours each day- they simply don't appear. And if they do (I've got exacly one red map in 200+ hours this league) you get a portal on your base? Really?

And that would be really easy to fix.

BTW- I think you did a great job with the change how the Atlas missions work

TL;DR: Blight is a fail right now (for me) and not because of the mechanic but slobby programming and some fine-tuning. I've already skipped 3.7 after the sucky

Wait, this bug still exists? Wtf

Natalia said they knew about it before the release, and it's October 19th, and it's still not fixed?

if anything you should learn from blight is two things:

1) they overwhelm themselves creating things that later they can't fix.
2) alot of damage control posts this league leading to believing that they fixed some things but in fact the fix never happened they just let RNG take over the wheel.

As for the pump bug it was from day ONE of blight, glad I'm not playing the league anymore.. still curious how they announced TWICE that they "fixed" it but I see people dealing with the path of casino for endgame.

I think the bug woudln't be so bad if the maps were more common. The combination of these both factors is what makes me so furious. You get a map thinking "finally!!!" after playing this league for hours and hours and then a f+++ing portal is put directly on the pump.

GGG then:



Oh BTW- even without the bug the drop rates are a joke
