He's referring to the bacon guy that is claiming that Tencent is going to whip GGG into shape because the game doesn't fit his own vision in every thread on these forums.

Also everything he says is facts and everyone else are idiots.

Don't even bother. That guy LOVES to come after me, and rarely likes to read anything he comments on, or the context around it.

Looks like another thread has gone off-topic

It only went off-topic because the thread was "answered" in about 3 posts. There was nothing else to discuss except the other incredibly wrong crap brought in to "explain" the OP.

Game design IS like policy.

You have to plan it and get second and third eyes on it to make sure it's feasible and plausible and even get the opinion of people that aren't in your echo chamber before you implement it.

That's... not happening with GGG.

They have a "vision" and they are going to stick to it no matter how many players they lose...

GGG was on break, which they have clearly communicated. Now their break is over and they did an interview. They tackled alot of concerns players have right now with PoE2 (only 1 portal, armor to weak, map rarity to low, not enough bosses on maps, hard to find towers on map etc.). And they also clearly said that they couldn't tackle some of the concerns because they will need more time. This has shown, that GGG is reading the forum. And in the end, GGG will ofc not listen to EVERYTHING the players say, because it's their vision in the end. So if they decide to stick with something, then that's okay. They will probably have discussed that internally and decided, what's the best route for the game.

But saying GGG doesn't care about the opinion of the players ist just plain ignorant.

In POE 1 they could do that since they were self-funded.

In POE 2 they have a major investor that won't stand for that long. Ten Cent isn't used to these tactics. If I were them I would be very nervous right about now.

With this, you have shown that you don't know what you're talking about. You may have experience with the companies where you have stocks. But a publisher isn't a stockholder. And tencent is rarely involved in the developments of games. They buy companies and then make a profit. GGG has shown with PoE1 that they know how to create a f2p game and how to monetize it. And that's the reason why Tencent bought GGG, because they know that GGG will make profit.

This weapon is most likely THE worst example you can pick for your argument.



Additionally, before you accuse me of white-knighting, I am only pointing out that this weapon is probably THE worst example for your point about the unique-buffs being inconsequential. That's all.

I don't think you are white-knighting, but I guess you didn't play warrior before?

All the skills that mace can use are slow af.

With that -20%, it's more BEAUTIFUL that you can actually see all the detail of the skill animation because they are more more slow.

That's why the change makes ppl angry, the core problem of mace skill is not damage, it's the unmodifiable total attack time.

This behavior is like giving a new pair of shoes to someone who cannot walk to make him feel better.

This shows GGG’s misunderstanding of the core issue of the melee problem to the point of being ridiculous.

Remember they didn't know bleed can't effect es?

Mark keep saying bleed HoG one shot bosses, that shows how ignorant they are about the melee problem.

Uniques are mostly trash and just for the Unique Stash Collection.

How do you expect people who don't play their own game to be able to make good unique items?
Even diablo puts this game to shame.
I tried torchlight infinite for an hour even if its a clunky mobile slop it's still generations ahead itemization wise than poe2.
And that's just shameful
