The hype train becomes Titanic, 3.9 is a huge failure.

I'm into red maps, doing hardest Morphs yet my loot is not better than few c all loot combined.
Best item for sale i got were boots worth 39c. Rest is 1-3c junk.

edit: i'm full clearing all maps and fighting every morph.

They are really not worth doing in red maps unless you dont care about your exp and level or you have a god tier 10mil dps build that can one shot them.

Well, you are missing those nice drops if you skip them, espcialy on red tiered maps lol..

Im killing them Morphs offscreen since they are overtuned too much, im not engaging them at all, i kill them offscreen, chilly and relaxed.

the new system is just so stupid, untested and not even thinking in alot of posbilities that players can come out with..

like being stuck on yellow maps or having the same red map over and over again because apparently it's the only one in the pool despite having your atlas setup with more than 5+ in a pool.. it's a DOWNGRADE not an upgrade.

sirus fight a dumpster fire not gonna explain why there's plenty of reasons why.

the sponge league also it's just terrible mobs recoverying more than you can damage them yeah sure it's my fault for picking many "regen" mods right? no, they designed this garbage they should think deeper specially if meta bosses are affected by your map affixes.

so far I can't save this league and there's no patches until next year.. to me it's a HUGE downgrade from 3.8.

The bosses are grossly overtuned and are still nowhere near rewarding enough to do other than the initial atlas bonus.

In my case, rewards are complete dogs*it tbh. I've never been as poor as this league. I can show you my stash tabs, i have 5 Chaos orbs and a 5L after week of playing.

I'm doing significantly better and i've only played maybe 3 days, I can only think there's something wrong with your build or perhaps the way you are constructing your metamorphs.

RNG does exist and i have to add that some leagues i have done extremely poorly in the money department despite significantly more effort but damn, are you fighting the metamorphs in every map? are you full clearing before you do that? etc

I have 5 ex and 200+ chaos, and I feel poor. Because my build was requiring 12ex in Blight and now it requires 50.

league does not matter to me. not going to waste weeks of my life doing the same chores every 3 months. sorry but 'unlocks' like crafting, delving all the other RNG bs is too much. it is artificial content forced on us to MAKE us play more. only playing customer can be a paying customer after all


the game itself..

it is a mess. i get why it is so - they want to move us closer to 4.0 with each patch. problem is - some of these steps are simply stupid.

atlas rework is something that is binary: you do it or you dont. old system WORKED. current system, while 'better' in theory - doesnt work. it is extremely buggy, several existing mechanics got destroyed (horizon orbs are STILL broken), map progression and sustain is weird

and then there are Randomeros aka '33% of a chance to chance to spawn a chance' endgame bosses. sorry but that system is terrible.

from players perspective there is NOTHING good about 'you can be lucky' based system. it is true that chase goal makes people play more. but only if they see a realistic way between 'currently' and 'goal achieved'. spawning elderslayers DOES NOT HAVE that


so what we got in 3.9?

- bugs.
- botched rework of a system that didnt need a rework
- stale meta of overpowered bs all-power-no-cost required builds (summoners/miners)
- questionable ballista rework
- few good changes (Burning, Galvanic)
- few terrible changes (2h rare weapons are DEAD, melee in general is a sad joke)
- some idiotic changes (new support gems, these are dumb. expensive, but still dumb. power creep for the sake of power creep)
- making game harder in the worst way possible. bosses taking 20 secs longer to kill might do the trick in some cases. but it shouldnt be possible to chain farm T1-6 maps with 1800 hp. the difference between 'clear' and 'boss' is completely dumb. yet the 'boss' part is still, despite efforts, rather optional
- oh, and bugs


on the other hand - what matters is the $$. if people pay for packs before trying new patch - they are to blame, not devs. noone forces players to pay upfront for a product of unknown quality. but if the playerbase likes to do that - then focusing on hype not the product is a sensible strategy

there are a lot of problems with the current atlas, but some of you guys sound like you're praying for the downfall of the game lol.

GGG is steadily improving the game. there's always new problems that come up with new content but POE continues to improve.

5.Thanks to changes in the atlas, players playing "standard" have been deterred from playing. This is a very undesirable group of players who do not buy anything but only occupy servers.

really? not cool dude, almost all of my purchases were while playing Standard, Some people actually prefer for many reasons to play a static game mode where they don't have to rush everything.

You know like people with fulltime jobs who cant play leagues seriously but also you know (have money to buy crap in this game) yeahhhhhh! undesirables!

Oh, well... If GGG would like players to play in the "standard" league, they would not release underdeveloped, ill-considered and maximally bugged "add-ons" every 3 months. Instead, they would release such additions every six months and in the meantime made sure that players in "standard" were maximally satisfied.

But as you can see financially, it pays to release some undeveloped nightmare every 3 months, testing it by free beta-testers and discouraging players from the "standard" league as much as possible. In my case it worked in such a way that I raised my relationship with PoE to an even higher level. It consists in the fact that I completely uninstalled this game from disk, along with all third party tools necessary to play it.

I did this on March 18, 2019 and now I'm only present on the PoE forum. The impressions are identical, as if I were playing it, with the difference that being on the forum takes me a maximum of 20 minutes a day, moreover, I don't need to buy anything :)

I'm enjoying this league and the atlas changes so far and I was never particularly a fan of the old atlas.

My enjoyment is not reliant in the slightest on the opinions of streamers or reddit posters.

I believe your life would be better served if you moved on with something more positive than complaining on forums about a game you no longer play, that can't be good for your mental health. Its just a game.

But I don't complain at all! For me, PoE is a wonderful, sociological and social phenomenon. Look yourself. We have a game here that is a clone of another game that was released 20 years ago. This clone is theoretically "free", but to really play it longer, you need to spend at least as much money as on a full-paid AAA game.

Only this is not even an AAA game, just some perpetually underdeveloped beta product. Despite this, it has tens of thousands of free beta testers who devote a lot of their lives to this testing. Just...wow! Let it be an extended world with a fascinating plot, but not at all! This is a looter shooter, the player runs a character with mediocre graphics and still only clicks with one mouse button. Oh, all this combined with casino simulator.

Despite this, it has tens of thousands of psycho-fans and those who will furiously defend their favorite drug. Because I forgot to add that this thing is also extremely addictive, people lose a piece of health in front of the monitors. And nothing happens. Governments do not prohibit this, the game continues to earn heavy money. And you want me to stop watching such a fascinating spectacle? :)
