Please remove Archnem mods.

GGG, please make the game fun again.

Normally I'd not weigh in given I jumped back on the ship rather than embrace Exile long ago, but you more than almost anyone on here will know how futile threads like this are. Your signature says it all.

/signed nonetheless, if it means a better PoE experience for the 'average player' out there, you who were not 'good enough' in GGG's eyes. Which blows my mind -- surely the big brains in the office understand how a bell curve works, and there they go rubbing 'the average player's' face in how overtuned 3.18 shipped. A-fuckin'-mazing.

I think I can explain the rationale:

Somebody killed at least one uber boss on day 1 or day 2 of the league. THEREFORE, the game is obviously fine. The myriad issues the player base have pointed out are just crying!


Right now, the dev team is literally the principle skinner meme. Adamantly deciding that no, the player base is the problem. The people who play the game are wrong. If Path Of Exile were a restaurant serving food that was simply way too salted, the devchefs in the kitchen would laugh and refuse to remove the mandatory anchovies off of every item. Don't like anchovies? Obviously your palette just isn't refined enough to understand the cuisine they present!!!


It's ok though, I know how to vote with my money. Until Archnem affixes are removed from rank and file rare packs (OR, BARE MINIMUM STOP SPAWNING WITH AFFIXES THAT LITERALLY BREAK EXTRA CONTENT) I'm not giving GGG another damn cent. And, if you check my supporter packs, I've given them a lot of money over my time playing.

But, no more. Don't care how nifty the cosmetic MTXs are. GGG clearly does not value the feedback of the rank and file players. So, they don't value our money either.

I agree that they should remove these in their current state and postpone until next league, after they have reworked them and done some actual testing.

It's pretty sad GGG still refuses to listen despite the majority of the playerbase clearly having major problems with this archnemesis mods system.

They think they drive the ship and we follow, but that's a stupid approach to running any company. By directly going against what your players want you effectively drive them away and will continue to see that in your dwindling player retention count. Keep ignoring us GGG and run your company into the ground, just know that YOU did this to yourself...

"we wont nerf builds" BUT WE WILL BUFF MOBS AND REDUCE ITEM DROP RATES. Good one.

The Archnem mods need to be removed all together.

They were utterly terrible in their original form as part of a league mechanic where you only engaged them if you decided to activate them, as it was. They were so bad and so unplayable you outright chose not to even engage with them or the league mechanic passed the first couple of days of the league.

So to now ruin the base game, on top of an even worse mechanic than last league..... just why? Are the dev team that burned out that they now make these decisions in spite towards the players of their own game?

If Chris's "hard mode" was released now, I'd think these mods were questionably excessive even for that.

Get rid of these stupid mods already. They aren't fun, the majority of the community hates them.

This is officially my last POE league unless this is removed.

put some more work into it to adjust it. reduce hp of many of them. prevent some combos.

I agree with your main point. I'll just say that this 3.18 release is way worse than the Labyrinth. In that a much higher percentage of players dislike the new 3.18 game play and it is much easier to skip/ignore/suffer-through the labyrinth than the current mess.
