Ultimatum from Russian community, forum backlash, streamers are quitting
|
Although I don't think this will change anything in the future, it's good to see that people would rather drop this game than encourage the devs stance. More than 7 years of speed meta and now they plan to "fix" the game, where almost everything revolves around that kind of playstyle.
And that's not even the worst part. The constant bugs here and there even though the game is mature at this point... I've jumped to play a bit of Last Epoch and boy was that a refreshing experience even though the game is still in it's infancy phase. So many QoL features and the game is not even out yet. Meanwhile, more than seven years on the market and GGG can't do anything about splinter, power creep, botters and RMT. |

You can still play speed meta with the right build.

" "You have less streamer zoomy super speed sanic builds" Yeah, I can tell you haven't tuned into Empyrean's stream in the last few hours. This has not nerfed anything at the top, they just dragged the whole iceberg down rather than flattening it. Peak is still peak, non-peak is now underwater. Besides, what would you know? You've never even completed Uber lab since your account's creation in 2014, hell you've never even reached level 70. So I reckon you can keep your constant passive aggressive belittling of others to yourself considering the fact that you've never actually played the game, you've just rerun the same campaign demo for years. | |

That's PoEs issue. There is quite a bit now I Want to play unlike back in the earlier days when I couldn't afford as many games. 3.15 being an objectively slower, more boring, more restricted PoE with zero new engaging content isn't exactly making me want to drop any of the other multitudes of games I am currently playing.
You guys keep beating the same dead horse until eventually people will actually leave. GGG gonna be the next Blizzard in terms of development "We can do no wrong, build it and they come" until one day they just don't :) The simple fact GGG has apparently been making a game they clearly never wanted to make, for no les than what, 8 years at least? NOW they are gonna turn directions? Honestly sounds like they needed to draw fans in with fun gameplay and speed metas, only to unveil their true vision in the hopes it's so amazing (it's not) that everyone will love it anyways cause trying it from the outset sounds like a bad game. Bad gamble really. Tell me what part of "Action" is slow and methodical? Maybe an "Action" RPG wasn't the best pick for this Last edited by Necrotekk#4404 on Aug 4, 2021, 11:25:50 AM

I'm sorry, who are you again to speak for the whole community?
Coz as a part of Russian community I've found this rant cringy af. There is a sure way to die.

" so they reverse about 5% of the speed they have added in the last 8 years and your idea is to go and play a different game that will never be as fast as poe is right now? im not sure that makes sense, poe is too slow so im gonna play an even slower game instead? ggg cant do anything about power creep u say, when you are literally posting in a thread about how terrible it is that they nerfed some of the power creep? in a thread where you are talking about leaving the game because they have addressed power creep you also find a moment to blame them for not addressing power creep? ive got last epoch too, its alright, bit of fun, itll be good when its finished. i reckon ill i see u back here within months and over the next 5 years you spend literally 30x as many hours playing poe as you do last epoch. " the game is still magnitudes faster than any other diablo style arpg. have fun playing all those other arpgs that are all way slower than poe while telling yourself the reason you left poe was it was too slow. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

" Here is the deal, at this point ggg can literally kick all “old” disapproving supporters out, and focus on those who prevail (aka approve) and new players. Reason is that they have amassed enough capital (both currency and playerbase) to be able to cut the existing playerbase by 50% (because player base is just a vanity number, remember) and continue on going the corpo way of promotions, sponsored content and so on. I don’t know if you picked that up back than but they mentioned taking that path in between that mess of streamers priority. They started to actively promote the game, like all big corporations do. Reality is that they will not be backing up from that path, they will throw us a little bone next league to mitigate the future competition moves a bit, and they will continue onward with whatever artistic vision they have. GGG is no longer a company that have to appear to masses and have good PR. They already moved way past that status with their income being over 50 mil a year (total of over 100 000 000 pre costs). They can take a hit and still go just fine because they still have enough of cash influx. And newcomers don’t know what 3.13 was, they will take the game for what it will be, which most likely will be a super good product, just not the product that players who now are leaving and complaining will love. We all look from the perspective of the past. There are folks who started in ultimatum and they don’t really feel bad about the game in current state as they didn’t knew it before. And once this 3.15 nerf dust settles, all will return to normal for ggg. That’s business, normal and usual. Why you think there was zero response to harvest manifesto? Did it somewhat killed the game in Ultinatum? Nope, plenty of people played, plenty of people started their adventure in Ultimatum. All this negativity now towards 3.15 will perish just like harvest nerf perished. And all with ZERO actions from GGG. They are a corpo now, not an indie game studio. You think blizzard will go bankrupt with the recent pr mess? Nah, they will do just fine, D2 remastered and D4 will drive them past it in flying colors. Persistence makes impossible possible, possible likely and likely definite. Yep, Mirror will drop eventually -_-
