Upcoming Plans for Patch 0.2.1

While it is a good start we need improvements to movement speed and damage. As it sits unless you are playing broken builds everything is so slow and painful it’s not fun. Hopefully this will make certain build legendaries not so hard to get and they won’t be 70-90 divines anymore. But to address the issue we really need to up the damage on some builds. Because until you get these legendaries it’s so painfully slow most won’t stick around. Also movement speed is important to dodge attacks why is it that it’s so hard to get on builds no one wants to run 6-10 minute maps. You want us to dodge abilities but the game feels like it isn’t made to because evade goes on cooldown and if you don’t have movement speed your toast.

Can we have PoE already?

Its not that Grotto is a bad map or that players are angry at specific zone's (enter any zone here) its that there is no choice and random generation will by proxy always screw someone. Besides that a little choice in what maps i run is tied to the zone of both towers and biome (thats not friendly to random gen either). People get mad when something out of their controle happens or when people believe they have no way of fixing it. This is tied towards choice and therefor I believe it can be solved by adding more player choice or if you really want to stick to the way that players cant interact with zones. Then maybe create a similair favourite slot interaction where it can spawn either certain biomes more or specific maps, that way it atleast feels like there is some leeway into a compromise between rng and commitment. Besides the reason why the atlas and atlas tree was fun is because people could create strategy's around them. In poe2 there is no strat theory to begin with because its all random and certain league mechanics by proxy dont favour certain zones. There is too much random interactions that need to perfectly allign for it to even be fun in the first place. Lets recount them 1: Map layout (mire or augury?) 2: Tower spawn spot (it can have 0 or 3 towers that add's rewards that i want) 3: Biome (why does my map only spawn ocean and my friends map has only mountains, i cant run savannah because i dont have a desert) 4: Tile rewards are not what league mechanic i want to run (i added delirium on my tablets but it dint spawn where i was going now i have to do 10 maps that i dont want to with rewards i havent specced in at the tree). See, give the player some choice in their lay-out and by proxy you can now say well the player made his choice, if thats optimal or fun is irrelevant, because the player himself made that decision. Hell you could even give a speech about what's actually optimal at that point or berate them for being a noob. But not when a player has no choice or gets into a random situation that's out of their controle.

dont add even more loot. we dont want another diablo4!!!!!

We need Quality, not Quantity.

thanks but... WHERE OFFLINE TRADE?

while i will admit that these changes, along with the changes from the last loot patch were great patches - they still dont address the fundamental issues that "dawn of the nerfs" implemented. move speed is trash for most builds and damage simply isnt there. yet - youre nerfing melee...stop nerfing everything and bring underwhelming builds UP to match better builds. you're not going to get players back with these patches because the game feels bad - even if the end game loot IS better...

Wuhuuuu. Cant w8 for the details :-)

You give more and more items, more loot. You are closer to the D4 genre than you think. Poe2 is more and more like Diablo 4, we have a piñata of loot just to keep children playing the game that their parents pay for. Do something about trading and also with creating items we want, crafting is the bottom, I have not seen such a bad system. There is no offline auction hall. Try trading on xbox, you minimize the game and immediately disconnect. I have to use a laptop or cell phone to trade. 80% of people are online but do not respond to trade requests. But.....money counts ,right GGG?

GGG doesn't listen to players and insists on bad systems. An example is this shitty market and the lack of diversity in builds.

I've already uninstalled it and will only follow the game through the forum.

They literally implemented stuff players asked for. Not everything, because everything would make this a total garbage game.

There are more than enough builds. What you are talking about is the OP builds.

Better keep this game uninstalled mate.

HOW BOORING AND SMAL.

the game won't go any faster with these changes, let me know when you can run maps in 2 minutes.
