Should GGG swap to a 4-Month Season?
|
Title.
Should GGG spend another month working on each season for that extra polish or are these bugs/PITAs gotta slip in no matter what Australian Summoner-Main Last bumped on Sep 21, 2020, 8:54:52 AM

Uh, yes. At the least.
Are they allowed to? Probably not. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

That would be great.
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.

Yes. Sell interim skins or packs or whatever but the bugginess of this league is killing what is a decent idea.

what difference would that extra month make? for example would an extra month help them to know not to put the stash where its at now on the new area? no,WE are their testers,after we report things they fix them within a week or so.

" A month can be a LONG time behind the scenes. Don't forget they're also supposed to be working on Path of Exile '2' within this current development schedule. I'd mention the mobile game but at least that very likely has a separate dedicated team. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

" That might actually be true. In all honesty, they should at least make a beta closed testing week for league pros ( like 500-1000 top players) that actually quit like 2-3 weeks before end of league to test the league out for this stuff, scrap the chars and release the league, if they do not have the man power to do it. I mean there are a lot of players that would test a new league before the launch just for the heck of it. I guess that would pretty much ruin events but you can disclaim it and make it "if you participate in private testing you are not allowed to x,y,z or being rewarded for x,y,z) Never invite Vorana, Last To Fall at a beer party.

" It's not about the testing and quality levels. It's about a deeper issue with the GGG executive and/or design teams making decisions on carrying out their ideas. |

" And here I thought Path of Exile would never get its version of Whimsyshire. TencentGGG would almost literally shit rainbows of joy if they could have something a tenth as productive as what you're suggesting. The logistics of managing the scope of 500-1000 people testing on an incomplete build of the game would be an utter nightmare, convincing league winners that they now need to start thinking like testers concerned about power balance rather than players crying about nerfs and cheering about buffs would be a fucking pain in the arse, the public blowback from using league winners to test NDA league content weeks before it deploys would be monumental, and the existing alpha team would get to know intimately the feeling of being thrown under a bus...but sure, let's do that. I'm out. This topic is fuckin' dead. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.
