I am not excited for the August league - And here's why.

Due to how hard the things I played were nerfed and how unfun a lot of the game was made in 0.2.X. I am dreading 0.3.
After 0.2 you did a lot of work to fix the loot and how the campaign felt I dont want to diminish the effort and support you gave to the game that started to make it feel good again.

However, that doesn't mean I'm not nervous to read the patch notes for 0.3.0. Essentially wheather or not I play this leauge all comes down to the patch notes and how they read. If they are anything like 0.2.0 patch notes absolutely gutting builds and nothing that focuses on bringing unplayable or bad builds up to a more playable level.. I'm out. I'm fine with heavy nerfs... as long as other sections get buffed and the builds that got nerfed are still playable and able to clear T4 pinnacles.

I don't want to put another 400+ hours in this game and not have fun for 200 of those hours while I figure out how to salvage the builds i played in the previous league. So please focus on fun, function, and optimization. Because I really want to be able to experiment with my class and try new things.... but from past experience the nerfs just made it impossible to experiment too much, especially with spellcasters.

Hopefully the new league anouncements generate some excitement for me. However, I think that no matter how cool or unique the league looks.... I won't be able to actually be excited until the patch notes are released after seeing what 0.2.0 did and seeing how "cool" that patch looked vs how it felt. I probably won't look at any of the announcements until there are patch notes so I'm not disappointed again. As a new player to the PoE franchise I hope this helps with some decision making.

P.S: Please buff mana regeneration or reduce skill costs. And I also dread having to play the campaign again there are only two fun bosses in the whole campaign (Count Geonor and Viper Napuatzi)

Who's gonna be excited, show me those people. All of those who potentially could be excited already have left dissapointed in december-january and will never return.

Seeing how GGG treating the game and the playerbase you can clearly say they all just sitting on hourly wages and don't give a fuck. And so you shouln't.

I mean, I'm excited for 0.3, but that excitement is absolutely stacked to the gills with cautious optimism. I took a huge break from 0.2 after getting to maps and just recently picked it back up. They've made some decent changes and softened the initial blow quite a bit, but 0.3 really needs to be something great.

I too am waiting for the patch notes with some serious trepidation.

There are at least some people that will be excited. And that's fine they probably liked the changes that .2.0 brought. Which i find absolutely uncomphrensible, but they are allowed to have different opinions. I just hope that isnt the group that GGG listens too because me and my group of 15 friends are new to the franchise and .2.0 made all of them quit and I didn't really have anywhere near the amount of fun I had in .1.0 in it.

Definitely bad enough for me to not play based on reading patch notes alone for .3.0.

Hopefully we are both pleasantly surprised.... but I don't have a ton of faith tbh.

I have zero interest in starting over. I don't care about a F R E S H economy. I like seeing new content. Abolish league-exclusive mechanics. Implement all content updates concurrently in the new realms as well as in Standard.

Then don't?

I am very excited, it was always gonna be a work in progress.

And they've already said that one of the priorities is making weaker builds and skills viable.

Bro "dreading" around a video game is not healthy, PM me if you want help.

I am very excited and all the interviews i've seen lately announce very promising changes.

I started playing in 0.2.0 and instantly fell in love with the game so i guess it's all just a matter of preferences.

Dont get anxiety over a game, real life is full enough of anxiety already. Just wait and see what happen that day.

That's because you didn't start in 0.1.0. Bugs aside, anything fun about the game was drained in 0.2.0.

0.3.0 patch notes need to be at least as long as 0.2.0 and all buffs to the useless junk in this game. It needs QoL fixes, especially to the economy since everything is based on that. I have zero excitement for the patch. This means I might read the notes and be surprised. But I'll likely see what I expect: no fixes to trade/economy, no scrapping of this horrid atlas, and a couple nerfs to items/passives/builds that some folks found useful.

Dreading in the context of a game i like not being fun anymore.

Im fine ill just keep playing FF14 with all my friends who also quit instead of coming back to the game. I'm capable of moving on and leaving unenjoyable things in the past.
