This patch was the last straw. Im done supporting this game. You dont deserve it anymore.

I see it like GGG going back to their roots. Early poe was far from the zoom we have today. Actually an argument from players that left D3 to go to poe was that poe had more impactful gameplay with meaningful item upgrades compared to the shallow D3 zoom zoom zero thought gameplay. Over time poe got more speed and is now far beyond even D3. Just realize that poe wasnt always what it is today. I think its fair that they want to slow things down again as that is their origin.

Nothing in this patch slows down players, though.

I think PoE has found its place in the ARPG genre/market as the fast-paced alternative/choice. And I think it will remain like that. Can you scale speed and damage too far in PoE? Sure, and they should probably slow the game down a bit. But they should always slow it down at the top end, and start looking at tailwind+elusive+35ms boots, evasion stacking queen runners and other sources of crazy scaling. As long as they attack it from a direction where 'everyone' gets slowed down, GGG will lose and the community will react.

As I've written before; a lot of the reactions to this league, is probably because of their hype, trying to get players to set their vacations before ExileCon because "you don't want to miss out on 3.22". People were expecting a large, impactful one. And by all means, it can still be that, if the numbers on the new support gems are GOOD. But are they?

Agree with Op. GGG has slowly destroyed their own creation over the past few years. If it’s fun, if it makes sense, kill it. 3.22 is finally Rip. Also, from what I saw at con, I really don’t care for poe2. It’s a sad time for fans of PoE.

- No noteworthy improvements to the base game
- No noteworthy improvements of skills
- No needed QoL features added
- Leagues are often an unfinished mess (and stay that way for a long time)


I'll continue to play Black Desert Online for the time being. Can't wait for Ashes of Creation and Pax Dei to start their Alphas and Betas.

Tencent was that. Slowly but they killed this game.

Really? Based on what? GGG is perfectly capable of screwing things up on their own without creative input from their investors. ='[.]'=
