The Amount of Time "Vacationing" is Actually Absurd

This reads like a dystopian satire but it's actually real. Crazy work.

it's insanely convenient to just dissapear after paying insane amounts of Ads/streamers to promote this EA.

but whatever. this shitshow will take years to get to a decent state anyways.

I just find it funny and cringe people treating GGG like a small indie dev team at this point.

This absolute silence about the stacking concerns and issues till next year (IF they don't take extra weeks ofc) just doesn't fit a global online service provider (this is ENTERTAINMENT. Holidays are part of their bussiness)


PoE1 deserved my money (for a period). now they're acting like the monsters they used to be the option to move away from.

It is named so, because that is how steam chooses to label is, and GGG's main storefront, by a massive margin, is steam. Steam doesn't love the idea of people paying for betas. There is quite a lot of restriction on exactly how you can and cannot market a game, or do EA for a game on Steam.

Thinking its an unstable product is feedback though. If they thought it was ready for launch and someone else doesn't feel that way playing it they may want to know that and/or why they think that. Or they may just think Git gud may be the best solution.

Alkaizer predicted this would be a shit storm and that was long before the launch of the game.

He said it was something like(i dont remember exactly his words) 100x harder than poe1 and everybody would cry that its too hard.

And guess who has played by far the most PoE2 out of anyone. This is the exact problem with the vocal minority and reddit. They create this echo chamber and false pretense that Alkaizer is a massive outlier and nobody else enjoys the game the way he does (swap Alkaizer with any x visible enjoyer of PoE2).

It's just not true people. I am here eating pizza and not playing because my computer doesn't run the game that well. But even through 30fps I've loved almost every moment of the core experience. There is so much to improve, but everyone asking for PoE1 with updated graphics, I hope so badly they don't give in to that and stick to their core idea. It happened with PoE1, it was supposed to be a much different game but GGG pandered to the speedclear, linear progression, deterministic crafting portion of the playerbase. They have the ability to stand on their own to feet and not give in so easily anymore.

Sure, but I would interpret that as Steam not wanting to offer unfinished games (i.e. betas) in exchange for payment.
So if you then take your arguably unfinished game with half the content, re-package it as "early access", and put it up on Steam in exchange for payment...
I don't know. That's a bit disingenuous.

GGG is in NZ, its summer. People need to admit they should have pushed the release until after the holidays. It also takes 1 person maybe an hour out of their day to give some sort of update.
