Am I the Only One Who's NOT Interested in .3?

Like the title says, I have no interest in .3. Does anyone else feel the same way? I'm not even looking forward to reading the .3 update notes, which I know will be worse than .2's notes. People are started to hype-up .3, and as much as I try, I just can't get excited for .3.

I'm also not looking forward to the so-called "uncompensated" social media influencers posting vids about .3 to hype it up (DM, ehem, ehem). Today I watched the Youtube videos that GGG released to tease the teaser to the teaser trailers for .3, and I didn't even finish watching the entire videos because I was so uninterested. I clicked off in about 10 seconds.

I already know GGG won't have fixed any of the major problems in the game - let alone any of the minor problems - when .3 drops. We're maybe getting a few new things that'll make the game fun for MAYBE a month if we're lucky, but then all of the same fundamental problems will still exist in the game. Hey plebs, here's Act 4 and a few trash uniques - now spend your hard-earned money on microtransactions.

I remember when my hype for .2 was through the roof before it dropped, and then afterwards I found out that .2 was a steaming pile of shite. Now my hype for .3 is almost nonexistent because of how hard we were duped by .2 expectations versus what we actually got. Am I crazy or does anyone else feel the same? How many people are genuinely excited for .3 and naively think any of the major problems with the game will be fixed?

Server problems, lag spikes, no auction house, lack of character customization, lack of crafting, boring endgame, terrible tower system, terrible skill trees, terrible skill/support gem system, GGG nerfing fun builds mid-season (Bloodmage Spark CotS), boring repetitive campaign, etc. - How many people honestly think GGG is going to fix any of these problems for .3??? I don't.

By the way, why tf is the game missing so much content? How many years has POE2 been in development, and why is this is all of the content that exists? Wtf were the devs doing for years? Why is this taking so long? We were told that this game should be ready to release by the end of 2025, which is almost 3 months away, and right now it's nowhere near a full game. There's no way the full game will be releasable any time soon. I'd say we'd be lucky to have the full game release by the end of 2026.

We're constantly being told by GGG leadership that the dev teams and management teams are so passionate and so talented and all they do is play/develop/eat-sleep-breathe POE 2, but yet the results show the exact opposite. Enough with all the BS excuses, just make the game finally good and FUN. It's not that hard - POE1 has existed for many years.

I want to love this game but I sadly have no interest in it anymore. GGG, please give us something to be excited for. For the love of everything good, please make .3 a really good update because if not then your game is dead and players won't come back. GGG, I really hope you have been cooking because I've lost faith.

Nope, you must be a minority and I wouldn't be surprised if your expectation will never connect with PoE2 which is fine, the game must not please everyone.

If you don't feel like playing thats OK.

If you feel like playing thats also OK.

Its just a video game.

Yep OP is def the minority, as the 490k majority no longer plays.

You were interested enough to write this novel of a post.

It's fascinating how much effort some people put in to spread negativity, like Dementors.

The ones spreading ''negativity'' are the ones making the game better. You guys that only know making reverence to GGG for their ''vision'', no matter how bad it is, are the ones stopping the progress of the game.
If it wasn't for the ''negativity'' posts, we'd still be with 0.1 loot plus 1 tablet per tower.

Let the people present their complaints so you can have a better game.

+1

While it’s easy to lose patience after so long, (what with a couple near nothingburger teasers and artificial hype and cope videos from some streamers.) I’d at least wait until the grand reveal of the new content and patch notes before calling it dead.

A main problem is that most of this "negativity" sounds as:

1. Make POE2 as POE1, one by one!
2. GGG, you made a bad game! Why cant you made a good game instead!?Game is too difficult, but too easy! We want everything immediately, while game should not be meaningless! Dont nerf builds, make every build imbalanced, why monsters so weak, do not make metabuilds, i want to play only meta, balance builds more often, but dont balance my build! Party players has too much advantage and why party drop is nonses?! i've played Sacred3 for 5 minutes (and left it after this 5 minutes) and Sacred3 is better than POE2 in all nonexisting aspects. I never played any aRPG, but i love Fortnite. Add Fortnite mechanics! A seasonal game lost almost every players at the end of the season! Seasons should be ridden off! And other loud indiscriminate whining.

Can GGG use some of this feedback? Yes, but most of complains are irrational and contradict each other. So, right now i just hope... Dont sure, but still hope that GGG would accelerate their productivity and began to fill their game with more of currently missing content, without so long and silent pauses.

P.S. Yes, i would play 0.3. Dont sure for how long, but right now i dont see a problem here - even in it's unfinished state, game gave me enough of interesting hours of gameplay, while i am not bounded to play only POE2 for a rest of life.
