Game Started as Excellent and now its Terrible

Bought all the support packages when the game came out I thought this game gonna be the bomb, had a wonderful time me and my guild until Dawn of the Hunt came and destroyed the game and our guild as most just stopped playing cause of the changes were just horrible. That's it for me, not coming back to this company as they clearly have no idea what they are doing but driving the game further and further into the ground.

To GGG: When you nerf something, you do it with a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.

Good Luck, you gonna need it.

That was great feedback. The irony is that your feedback is akin to a sledgehammer, whereas actual helpful feedback should be precise, like a scalpel...

but... they did take a sledgehammer to the majority of builds.

so he is not wrong. and it was a major force of people leaving the game. including myself, until they get their shit together.

ill never understand people who want specific feedback like you. especially dev's

ALL feedback is important. no matter how little words are said.

when you goto wendy's, mcdonalds, your local pasta joint, or whatever... and have a meal. when someone asks you how it was... and you didnt enjoy it... do you go into a fucking tier list of ingredients you didnt like, or give bullet points to what they could have done better... or carefully explain to the person asking you, every detail of your approach to eating it, how you ate it, why you ate it...

no

you fucking dont.

you look at the person asking you and say:

'its fucking trash'
'it was bad'
'im never going here again'
'dont even step foot into this place'

OP walked into mcdonalds.... (installed poe2)
had a meal.... (played the game)
actually liked the game to play the .2 patch... and then completely hated it and said 'im never going here again because the burgers i used to eat, taste like shit" (you over nerfed like crazy, and i dont trust your vision, direction of the game, or your company.)

[Removed by Support]

his opinion is valid.
his EXACT feedback has been parroted by the majority of people who quit. spoiler. its a fucking lot of people.

its now on this company to fix its shit.

You're not wrong. But I am certain they know it. The problems in the game take months to fix, not weeks. The improvements won't come on a timeline you're comfortable with, but I'm pretty sure they are coming.

months?

its going to take a year... and possibly, multiple years... to fix what they have done and get people back.

and they have no one to blame but themselves.

cuz no one asked for ANYTHING they did with their sledgehammer. they asked for a nerf to spark.... this leagues LS. they did not ask for 30 page patchnotes on .2 nerfing every possible skill/build/node/passive in the game.

no one asked for ruthless 2.0. no one asked for unscrollable no serachbar endless endgame atlas where you dont choose what maps you run. no one asked for sextants back. no one asked for the majority of crap they did in .2 or in general.

and it is now on them to fix it.

and thats going to be real hard when your whole team is swapping every 2 months back and forth to the OLD GAME... and then to the NEW GAME.

its a joke. and not a funny one.

I've posted several times that two years in early access is my prediction. So I agree with you, except I don't agree with your angry tone. When people are making new things, they will make mistakes. Being the first is hard. I'm glad they are trying.

Nah, there were lots of people wanting grimfeast, ingenuity, herald proliferation/trampletoes, mana stacking/archmage and bunch of other stuff nerfed.

idc about your tone policing. at least you agree.

BUT

they arent making new things. they are making the same game. again. its literally. a sequel.

outside space to dodge. and putting in wasd. its the same game.

-crafting still sucks and is not availible to 98% of the playerbase.
-the drops are still bad.
-people still hate ascendency's due to them being some of the worst systems from poe1.... its bad when people want lab back. shit even i would prefer lab over ultimatum and sanctum. and i HATED lab.
-trade is still a dogshit experience.
-a campaign the majority of players wish they could skip.
-build diversity is bad.
-balancing is bad.
-endgame mapping is still unfun for the most part, and unrewarding comparative to the work you put into your character and time spent. and they put BACK IN failed mechanics and systems from poe1 that people HATED for the most part.
-delerium still causes lag, and people still bitch about it effecting their pc, and still hate the manditory nature of it to juice maps.
-breach still sucks on a majority of the maps due to how bad they are with dead ends, and things in the way.
-expedition is still largely unrewarding, unfun, time consuming, and the best part of it is more gambling on gear and crafting.
-getting to pinnacle content is still bad, takes too long, and can be largely unrewarding.


i could go on and on.

but what part of this... can you say is different than poe1? you cant. its the same game. the same mistakes from the same people 10 years apart.

what would happen if youre a senior in highschool, and you still cant get 2+8=10 correct? you would be laughed at. you would sit alone in the cafe getting food thrown at you. you would be joke. so why is it different for this company?

this is what is happening to ggg.

they 10 years later... still cant get this thing right. and its sad.

its like.. really sad.

and its going to take this kind of exodus of players, AGGRESIVE FEEDBACK. and being laughed at... to fix the problems they created, and still havent fixed from a decade ago and are making AGAIN.

1) I can move while attacking
2) I have a rowboat.
3) the other stuff.

Its also a direct sequel in a niche genre, its not meant to be unrecognizable from poe1.
