First dx11 (shadows) - now Forced Post Process & Bloom

Daily bump.

Another bump. Still no wording from GGG regarding bloom turn off.

Bloom Improvements

Reduced the intensity of Bloom effects for the following assets: The Eradicator skills, Stygian Desecrate Effect, Tornado Shot, Flame Golem skills, Tectonic Slam, Automaton Divine Ire Effect, Phasing effect and Pandemonium Wings.
Fixed a bug where using Divine Ire while wearing the Angelic Helmet microtransaction caused bright visual flashes.


Are you joking me?

There are no words.

Daily bump

I just bought the Dragon Hunter Herald effect and I noticed the explosions are too bright, forcing to close my eyes while I play. I knew the quest signs over the npcs heads were too bright.

bumb, at least make 3rd party tools who can remove effects and shit not bannable because for some reason 3rd party devs can do what you cant... maybe you should just hire them

They can. GGG just don't want to.
And they don't give a flying F about players. Anymore.

"We want our game to look good on Twitch and streams"
is the main "reason" of all this s**t (aside from over-clogged game engine and unoptimized skill\items\mtx effects)

I've never been this disappointed in GGG. Deliberately removing an important graphics option and ignoring all feedback about it. Not only does the game actually look worse, it also causes real issues physically for a lot of us and will push away players who have supported this game. Horrible decision

Pretty much how I feel. I can get past some of the questionable decisions they have made but the way they have handled this just really rubs me the wrong way, probably to the point of never returning. Completely ignoring the issue despite hundreds of posts about it with no explanation as to why it was changed to begin with (I'm guessing because the reason is stupid and they know they will get blasted). Just such poor decision making. They are going downhill, and fast.

maybe they will address it in one year or more. They are currently too busy introducing new issues to deal with it right now.

I really don't now what has happened to poe as of late. I used to not play that much because the game simply lacks longevity if youre not a braindead hamster, but not because there were actual issues. I always thought game was great just that it wasn't a good game for many thousand hours it got too monotone. Still i came back for a week or so most leagues.

Now however, i am starting to be happy i have moved on entirely. I am even starting to despise many of the choices and things happening in PoE(which is big warning sign).

I've said this before, but the ggg inhouse excuse is most likely that they can't put their full attention to the current state because they are doing their best for poe 2. But that's just such a goddamn excuse, and i know it really is that because thats the type of excuse they been asking us to believe and the type of excuse us players have been trying to tell ourselves since the start to justify their lack of action for fixing while they just pump more broken content. Always there was a good reason why they can't do it right now. And it's going to continue like that deep into poe 2. I've just had enough, i'm starting to turn on them. I am not impressed in the sligthest bit.

They have deficiencies in their desgn approach and their priotities and just in their basic brain level. And i just gotta come to terms with that. And i have, i no longer consider poe a serious game. No more than 1-2 year ago even if didnt play i would still easily call poe the by far best arpg on the market to others and recommend it. Today? Hell no, i would never vouch for it as being a top tier game unless i know someone is a serious serious arpg addict in which case they should still try out poe if they havent.

Poe has become a game that puts quantity far over quality.
