POE is ACTUALLY dying not the drama queen kind, but the actual kind... From Developer Hubris

I think it all started going downhill when they released act3.


Can you elaborate on that? Also, which version of Act 3 -- the one that ended with Piety's Endless Funhouse, or the one that gave us Dominus' Phallic Possession?

Because they were two quite different beasts.
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.
I agree OP, I've never been a fan of speed grinding especially for practically no reward. I take my time on maps tbh but one of things that has really annoyed me is Maps will not drop for me unless I have sextants on my watchstones and then normally its only 1 more map and it drops from the boss only. I do not understand why this is this way if they want us to play the game shouldn't maps drop regularly? I also really hate having to start another character each league especially when I'm still trying to get my character to level 100 from Expedition league. I struggle to level in this game due to server lag mostly and the death penalty which is BS imo. I'm thinking of going to D2R as well since I started gaming on D2 originally back in the day.
Anyyone who prefers last epoch over this game cant be trusted on their opinion :D

Every reveal for 3.18 makes me less excited for the league. I had to turn off the Baeclast it was so abysmal. Widening the gap between the rich and the poor to encourage more playtime just reveals the meaningless hamster wheel that much more.

Oh well I had a ton of fun in 3.17. PoE is looking more and more like a "one league per year" game.

Last Epoch has actual crafting, among other things.

Each game has things it does better over the other.

PoE has better sound design. PoE has more "options", even if most of them aren't viable.

Last Epoch does crafting and itemization better. Last Epoch has more creative options in regards to character mechanics (I worded that poorly, but think of things like Lich Form in LE).

Hopefully no one plays 3.18. GGG needs to get over themselves and see that the core of their game, the combat, the items, and the way maps are designed is bad, really bad.
I seriously (and sadly) think that, withouth rmt sites, this game would have died long time ago.

And by the way, this is simply a LIE:

"
You are playing a paper thin frost blade berserker and you are complaining about dying. Ever thought the reason why you constantly die is because you did not invest anything in defenses?

2500 armour, 911 evasion, 30 block chance, +2% extra max ele res and immortal call is all you got.

No extra phys reduction, no decent armour like 30k or more, no spell suppression, no good block/spell block, no recoup on block, no phys taken as... ect. ect.
You build is basicaly naked.
And on TOP of it only 5,4k life and berserkers 10% extra damage taken...

Those threads here on the forum are full of people not investing in defenses and than complain that they die, its starting to get rediculous.

Always zero investment into defenses, playing 3k HP rat nest mathil builds and than they complain that everything one shots them...


Good defence layers are good ofc, and improves your survibality ofc but... You will take one shots and unexplainable deaths anyways.

Yeah, GGG only ever seems to fix things when their vanity metrics (And thus league income) are low.

We'll see.

Personally, I'm not hyped for this league at all. Yet another simple kill things league.
POE will never die, it is eternal like diablo 2. THere will always be people playing POE and even POE 2 when it comes.

POE2 isn't even a new game its just a new campaign for everyone to ignore.
So all you really end up having is playing the economy, and plowing maps. And if you want to get anywhere on your character, you are better off mowing monsters down like weeds and just collecting pennies of the ground as fast as possible than any meaningful item hunting.
