why (in my opinion) the game feels bad

Bad drops? More like "I can't run scourge" issue

and you think the abusive Scourge drop is healthy for game?
the drop in maps is bad unless you abuse it in party.. or some magic find builds..


and then all scourge items are totally garbage but wait GGG got solution..
lets fill the heck of Scourge maps with bilion of unrelated stuff like 99999999999999999999 oils or 9999999999999999 currency stacks or 999999999999999999 cards and make each rare monster drop 10-30 uniques right.. im sure thats the right solution to fix scourge items..

what is the point of this game right now? just do tier 1 scourge maps none stop on fast build ? farm tower for belt cards? on magic fiend build?

or maybe spend endless of time to do maven bs who know why

ohhh and its fking stupid that we cant refund atlas passives untill super late.. whats the point of the no refund ? only to make the game more annoying? why not give 2 refund points with each of the first invetations ? so if you make mistakes you can respec? because you can respect already for later on you can easily get theser

Lol, ok Sherlock!

You just do the league mechanics, this is where the drops are, its been the same in every other league. If you can't thats your problem. Scourge has been one of the most profitable leagues for me and I don't play in a party or craft. I just farm. So yes, drops are fine. Maybe complain that your build is not strong enough but don't complain that the league is unrewarding.

Thank you for your opinion.

It's really sad to see PoE on this downward trajectory.

Scourge is a horribly conceived, designed, and executed league.

The "great loot" per Chris is beyond ridiculous. Take crappy rare drops, corrupt them, and then add a negative modifier. I've given up - it's not even worth a mouse over to look.

One-shot mobs. Really? How does the design process work? Is there really no one responsible and no step in the process that catches this? Really?

Repeating stuff we hate: corrupted league rewards, one-shot mobs, backtracking for loot. There's no "lesson learned" document? PoE will forever be re-introducing mechanics proven to be hated by its customers?

It's not a league thing, but I'm really getting tired of nerfs both those announced and those snuck in. I put together a great "diverse" build only to throw it away to the nut-chopping that Fortify got. Ho hum. I'm playing necro skeletons, again and like some many others.

PoE is in decline.

What do you want exactly? To not die at all? To get loot easily? Rares that drop to be instantly usable?

While I agree the league mechanic is dogshit boring and bad design. The patch brought so many nice changes that the point is moot really. Your issues sound more like you have no idea how to play the game, you expect to play like a vet while you are clearly a casual.. just doesn't work that way in any game.

I do agree on the builds though. While I can make most builds work still, it is just best to not run 90% of the skills. Some of that 90% will work on a high ex budget, but most of the people in the game don't clear shit. I see people that claim they play poe but never made it to red maps. That is a major problem as the divide between casuals and non-casuals is so large that casuals continuously suffer for changes made that target the 1%.

Unfortunately. Unless you are with the GGG program, your opinion is worth nothing. You are shaking your fist at a coming tsunami from a sand castle on the beach.

thats exactly the thing.. this game basically stop being playable for non vet players ..

and then we should also decide whats casual for you? im playing few hours a day when i play... and i know quite abit sure ive skipped a league here and there when i felt that there wasnt anything fun to play which take it back to skills not being good.

and then id still consider my self "casual" but that is part of the problem because PoE is the only fking game where you could play 4 hours a day for about 9 years and still be "casual"

if by casual you mean i dont run in party all day on super juiced maps with sup ? yes im casual
if by casual you mean i dont mindlessly run a meta build with item quantity instead of actual items just so i can mindlessly farm currency for stupid unrealistic expensive items that are pretty much required these days?
yeah im casual..

if by casual you mean i play to try to have fun and wish to play skill that i enjoy playing? definitely im casual...

everything right now feels crucial and a must .. and year after year the game feels more and more clunky.. for example ill never understand why they had to nerf movement skills recently.. this really feel bad... flame dash and dash just feel bad and i feel like now i need 2 movemnt skills or work around more stuff to get proper mobility ,,

did they hit the high end people with it whom were " too fast" ? not really these already got 200% movement speed and broken items for attack speed they barely notice it.. but whom did GGG hit with this? the avrage players "casuals" who "only play 4 hours a day" and movement skills are their main mobility cause they cant afford 10 ex boots

all in all i do respect your opinion but i have mine.. and my opinion is that the game should be less strict less limiting.. the whole concept of PoE was its freedom to make a char how you like it.. the choices in passive tree and skills and sup gems.. but its not the case anymore.. there is 0 freedom.. because if you dont take the 5 meta skills you are unlikely to be able to do anything.. sure you can on a 999 ex budget but then whats the point? make a boring magic find build farm 999 ex just so you can prove that even the lame skills can work?
theres barely choice anywhere in PoE now almost everything unlock something i miss the days where i could put music and farm maps random maps instead of specific maps enjoy farming and feel progress with every day of farming.. recently i played like 14 hours in same day to unlock some maven shit.. its just too much if they make the game for 1% then goodluck for them but they will keep watching their community drop
