Ive been playing poe sence open beta, but now i dont know if i even wanna play anymore, and it goes for poe 2 aswell, as i feel like GGG shits on the poe 1 players. Someone said they felt betrayed, and i must admit that i feel that way to. They really need to throw us a bone about the new league and some plans they are thinking about, and it better be something BIG and not some some small shit as boring league. Ive spent alot of money on poe, cuz GGG deserved it with poe 1, even if some things really bother me, its still a great fcking game! But this just feels like shit, and i feel betrayed :( As i said, they really gotta give us a bone here. And i pray the next season is a Banger, or i think im out... We as the poe 1 player base, has been beta testing every single of the last couple of leagues. They arraived in worse and worse condition. Settler had to ban people because they were printing divine orbs, while in necropolis when people were printing divines and magebloods, then that strategy got banned, while printing magebloods and mirrors in affliction was fine. The grip on the control of what is "allowed fun" has been tighter with each of the last 5 leagues. We have collectively spent millions of hours doing free work for GGG, and then we are getting treated like this. Unacceptable. When TOTA was launched, then Chance to Flee support was a broken Meta gem. Let me repeat that: CHANCE TO FLEE SUPPORT WAS A MASSIVE META GEM!! Due to a lag of resources for testing. And many of us got used to the bugs, and expected massive exploitation due to the shipping conditions of the leagues. I am fine with POE 1 being halted for now. But at least give me some way to cook up a new build. Give me everything since sentinel. Crucible, necropolis, affliction, and a way to apply wisps to all monsters in a map. Legacy tattoos, charms and give everybody 2-3 charm slots. This will create new farming metas, build metas, and challenges. give me a way to apply 10.000 of each wisps on the enemies, and give me the power to roll over such creatures, and I will be fine for a year! But leaving us with a dead league is not fine.	Posted by andreasdh#6271 on Jan 31, 2025, 5:21:21 AM Quote this Post

They abandoned poe1 to fix the dumpster fire that is poe2's endgame. lol. now you have 2 games on fire. The absolute shittiest part is that they knew for months that 3.26 isnt coming any time soon and they waited until the last possible day to say it. wtf man... And Support is still dead!!

>GGG: We were overconfident. >Izaro: Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer There's a lot of justified negativity around this post and i understand it. But also want to express as much love and understanding as possible. I'm quite happy with every decision made so far and despite current state, this might have been the best possible outcome anyways for both GGG and the audience. Maybe im biased because i loved every second of PoE2 as much as i did in PoE1. Maybe i have more understanding because im a game developer myself. But i do truly believe your (GGG) decisions are coming from the extreme passion for the game and with time, everyone will be happy again :>	Posted by Hunter13ua#3971 on Jan 31, 2025, 5:27:32 AM Quote this Post
i wonder after 1,5 years will he look us in the eyes and tell us to buy the supporter packs for the next league , GGG really think how and when you are gonna market your next league , it could be a fatal blow .	Posted by damir21#1543 on Jan 31, 2025, 5:29:44 AM Quote this Post
It's been a good run, time to move on...	Posted by SuchKn#0770 on Jan 31, 2025, 5:35:34 AM Quote this Post
Do we have any refund rights? They clearly didn't deliver what they promissed on multiple fronts. They knew what the state was and deliberately hid it. Had I known that work on PoE1 and 3.26 has completely stopped I wouldn't have supported the EA of PoE2. I could understand allocating more resources for 0.1.0 since EA was announced and had to hit the date. I don't understand allocating all your resources for 0.2.0 which can come whenever. PoE2 is still years away from being a full game.	Posted by 0xFFFF#7569 on Jan 31, 2025, 5:37:32 AM Quote this Post
" andreasdh#6271 wrote: I am not sure I understand the decision being made here. What stops GGG from hiring enough staff to actually deliver on the promises? Did POE 2 not give enough money, did Tencent not give enough money? is Path of Exile not a profitable business? Project based work is a thing! I do not play poe2, I got my keys, that is not the issue. The issue is that I do not find that game enjoyable. So I am being actively punished because GGG wanted to make something that had nothing to do with the game that I loved? If GGG chooses to go out and develope a mobile game for toddlers, and then release an unfinished product, and then yell that they need to use all the people from poe 1 and 2, because it is a dumpster fire, is that something that we should expect? is that something that is in line with the business philosophy of GGG? whenever that something goes bad in poe 2 that we should be fine with not having a poe 1 game? Make it make sense. The solution is freaking EASY! HIRE ENOUGH PEOPLE. It is really that easy. unable to do so? then you should not have released a burning garbage can and called it a game. Early access must be expected to have major issues, major things missing, major balance problems, it is EARLY ACCESS, it is not a FINISHED product. Make it make sense. Just give us some fun while we are FORCED to wait. Here is my idea. Give us all leagues since sentinel including sentinel. So, Sentinel, Kalandra, crucible, affliction, ancestors, and necropolis. Give us access to the legacy items. Charms from affliction. Give everybody 2-3 charm slots. Give us necropolis crafting. take Settler recombination, and give us the old special mods. Give us the legacy tattoos in TOTA. And for the people who need a challenge upon all of this power. Make an NPC that allows all areas to have wisps. use the UI from Tujen hagling, and allow for increments of 500 wisps of each collour. But a limit of minimum 1000 difference between each colour, so you cant do 10.000 purple without 9000 yellow, and 9000 blue wisps. Maybe cap it to a maximum of 20.000 wisp. This will be the most broken, rewarding, fun, and build diverse league in Path of Exile history. All of this tech exists, it is just about making sure that each part work again, and done. It should take 2-3 weeks with a couple of developers to launch this project. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS. Appreciate the effort that went into writing this post but they want POE1 to be gone or at least obscured enough to not compete with POE2 MTX sales. And for POE2 MTX sales they need to present a front to POE2 players that all hands and attention are on POE2. Why they want POE1 to not be in the way? To prove to Tencent that its investment was good and they weren't wasting a bunch of time and resources to make a hyped up nothingburger. Unfortunately my normie friends prefer the watered down experience that is POE2 so clearly their strategy is working for them meaning we can't expect anything to change. POE2 should be the ruthless vision experience and POE1 should be the zoom power fantasy sandbox to capture both audiences. I petition to return all the fun stuff that was removed or nerfed over the years back into POE1.	Posted by Bosscannon#3325 on Jan 31, 2025, 5:39:52 AM Quote this Post
