questions 15 and 16 of the survey are just...wrong... no other words for it.

In suppose I should add: This is in my opinion".

I don't think that a "player" should be able to pay a measly sum of money (anything under the ruler pack) to add anything to the game (uniques are excluded in this opinion as GGG receives a good amount of money and have FINAL say on the item <--- very important). And even then, I'm not sure it's okay. GGG developed PoE and should have final say on anything AND everything put into the game.

It's nice that they listen to our feedback etc... but I believe it's not for us to say "GGG should/will change their game, because I gave them $20 (an example used in the survey)".

If anything questions 15 & 16 should have an option (answer) that simply states:

The amount of monetary support I provide/donate to GGG should not influence how GGG designs Path of Exile.

I reiterate, this is just my opinion.


*300 hugs for you*

Even as the Ruler I hesitated here. If *I* could pay that little money to change a skill or item, then in all fairness anyone could, and that's bad. That's very, very bad.

And thinking on that further, there's a reason even the Ruler pack states 'help design a monster' rather than 'tell the devs what to do and they'll do it to the letter'. It doesn't matter how much money you throw at the creator of something -- you are not and never will be that creator. You're supporting them financially because they're doing something you can't, perhaps something you wish you could but you CAN NOT.

You do not support just to take over.


Well said both.
Endurance Charge on Stun support looks interesting.

Filled out the survey. Happy to help.

I was glad to help out with the survey. Best of luck!

I'd like to add, that the skill/keystone change for a sum of money questions didn't sit perfectly well with me, in the same way others have mentioned.

Those are things that should 100% be handled in house, imo.



I completed the survey. I hope this helps out.
I would just like to say that seeing the developers adopt Loot Allocation Options even though it was against their ideology was a moment that made me feel extremely impressed with GGG and loyal to the game. :)

On the opposite end of this spectrum, every time I see Kongor's Mace, I think ugh, that guy is so annoying :(

Endurance charge on melee stun? Is that the best melee buff you could come up with after all this time waiting?

Still absolutely nothing on major buffs for life and major nerfs to low-life.

You removed the cool aura effects for shitty ones under the terrible excuse of "improving performance" and proceeded to release microtransactions to make auras cool again rather than giving us the option to have original auras.

You're beginning to let yourself become a billboard for gaming gear companies.

You're releasing blatantly overpowered uniques like Soul Taker, Rainbowstride, Auxium, etc., when most of the old uniques had a downside and weren't instantly a best in slot over any rare item you can possibly find. I'm okay with overpowered leveling items, but items this ridiculously good with zero downsides being available at endgame is just stupid.

Desync is so awful for melee that when I tried to come back to PoE and start a Reave character it would take me 3-4 attacks to kill a mob that I kill in one hit.

Very disappointed with you recently GGG. I loved you guys in Closed Beta but it seems to me like you're falling away from your company's old plans for the game. I hope you can address some of the ancient issues with this game by the time it officially launches, if you can't I'm out.

Have you tested this since the last patch? There was a bug that would result in reave missing that wasn't due to desynch - just wonky collision code - that was recently fixed. It may have resolved your issue.

Some people are taking this survey way too seriously... like they think this is all the idea of GGG and what they are going to do... learning to read would be helpful here.

I'm glad they are changing Clarissa's voice. She is unemotional and the ridiculously bad British accent has had me wanting to punch her in the face for a long time now lol.

Looking forward to trying out the new melee support gem.

You would like to play and support a game made by the game developers rather than the vocal minority in Beta Feedback.
