If you can't handle fast and loose development, don't play an early access game.

this, very much this, 100% this, I think many people expect a 100% complete and polished game in early access.

I'am also concerned about the POE1 gatekeepers tranfering their poor attitudes across to this clearly different but same looking game.

Don't get me started on those assholes.

What a bunch of ungrateful, entitled, self absorbed know-it-alls.

This is the reward GGG gets for giving so much fun to gamers, scorn and hate.

Oh well, that's the culture we've fostered in gaming these days.

I hope in the future the community gets better, not that it was ever good.

But anonymity paired with entitled neckbeards has resulted in a community that has degraded so much over the decades.

People who have NO IDEA how gamedev works feel far too free to shoot their mouths off and talk with authority over how the game should be based on their naïve notions as a player because they don't want their flavor of the week, clearly broken builds nerfed.

It's testament to how GOOD the game is how angry people are. People can see how good POE 2 CAN be with a bit of polish, and that is frustrating. If it was just a flat out bad game no one would care!

"Victims of success"

POE is a fantastic franchise, and it has pulled the people with the most hours to sink into games, the biggest no lifers, the biggest neckbeards.

It's amazing the games they have forged, but it's sad this is how the community repays them.

I'm angry because I didn't know that TENCENT bought GGG back in 2018, and it would appear to me that the game is nothing but Chinese spyware at this point.

Maybe it feels like everyone is pissed off because the rest is just busy enjoying the game?

I personally haven't had so much fun with an ARPG since D2:LoD, and the game is not even complete yet. Looking at the in-game chat most of the players there seem entertained as well. I was really surprised with all the complaining posts on this forum. I am doubtful it actually represents the majority opinion, and certainly not everyone is pissed off.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were paid agitators behind this. Or simply activists who are simping for blizzard or whatever.

The world has gone batshit crazy with all sorts of hidden motives behind huge cash cow industries like gaming.

There are a LOT of institutions that don't want to see a company like GGG succeed because they actually care about making a good game more than they care about empire building and colluding with other corrupt companies.

Crazy to even post a reply like this, but this is the world we are living in. A crazy, silly world full of gaslighters, agitators, and subversives.

Nah. Many of us are just disappointed. The game plays not at all like PoE1. I quit the game after act 3 and that was after forcing myself to at least see the campaign content. Many of us wanted PoE1 with fancy graphics and maybe the worse bloat removed, not a slow game with barely any build diversity.

Right, but I'm speaking to the cesspool of reddit where a lot of opinions are formed.

I don't think people realize how much just a small but vocal minority can stir up sentiment just by screaming loud.

I was enjoying this game far more until I started hearing other criticisms.

Public opinion is infectious. You can absolutely poison public opinion with the right sounding boards and some loud voices and some control over moderation...

Do you have evidence to support this statement?

Those D4 bois will be faster gone than you would believe, mark my words. ^^ My prediction is that the D4 players will be gone within a month!

It seems POE players are not informed about Diablo players. We have been longing for a rightful successor to Diablo 2 for quite some time.

It’s never seen reality until now. Sorry but like another poster said……you’re stuck with us.

Proof that Tencent bought GGG or that there is spyware in the game? It's Tencent, that's what they do with everything they purchase. Everything they get near they infect, and I doubt this is any different. With the client, they expect you in install with Administrative privileges. That raised flags for me as I've never seen that before, now I know why.

GGG did something right because they just grabbed a huge chunk of the D4 player base.d

Diablo 4 has players?

Diablo 4 has players?

Sorry you are right….they had players.

It's only early release relax people

I am very glad that GGG is hard nerfing things and I think they should keep doing it.
