Early Access Feedback - The silence is deafening - Forum

If I did this at my company and release a major piece of software and then just go AFK for a month I would definitely get in trouble. We have a no release policy during the holidays for a reason :) R.I.P. my beloved P.o.E.	Posted by ampdecay#1924 on Jan 4, 2025, 9:02:07 AM Quote this Post

I understand the EA and alike .... but "This is extremely polished for a beta product." You sir made my day. Anything that feel polish is legacy of PoE 1 and everything new is sloppy as it can be. Slow in, slow out cuz I'm just a player. --------------------------------------------	Posted by nnilfoest#6766 on Jan 4, 2025, 9:14:11 AM Quote this Post

Whats the problem of taking a break and dont play the game for a couple of days or weeks and come back later? So you are just telling everyone you are so addicted to this game that you need a response and fixes right now. Path of Exile is still a game and im sure its possible for everyone to wait a few days or weeks, just because no one existence is in danger.

Anything that feel polish is legacy of PoE 1 and everything new is sloppy as it can be. You clearly haven't played many real early access games. Your attitude is pretty clear, you should stick to 100% finished and released products from now on.	Posted by Valsacar#0268 on Jan 4, 2025, 9:29:30 AM Quote this Post
Honestly i doubt people 'defending' GGG are not paid employees. What's there to defend? It's funny they also use an excuse to empathize with gigantic corporation's employees.. What's next, should i be sorry for Jeff Bezos being bald or something?	Posted by Alivkos#3986 on Jan 4, 2025, 10:16:02 AM Quote this Post

The product works. You can play all the way to 100. D3 beta was fifteen levels of content.	Posted by Chris1885#6461 on Jan 4, 2025, 10:58:18 AM Quote this Post

Therapists and Lawyers operate in realms where their jobs affect the health and lives of their clients. Very few Software Devs have those kinds of responsibility. Maybe if it's software for a banking system. Maybe if it's software for a mission critical system like Airport traffic control. Maybe then the company providing that software will have teams on standby to achieve 99.99999% uptime because these are mission critical and lives can be lost. You mean to say that a GAME is mission critical to require 99.99999% uptime? Seriously?	Posted by EffKayZA#1861 on Jan 4, 2025, 11:03:19 AM Quote this Post

For all folks crap on D3 nowadays, at the time it was great (filled with loads of problems during beta, sure, but it was still like "holy crap it's Diablo 3 finally!!!")
