Kiwi here, when you say 'vacation', do you mean "Work on PoE 1 exactly like they told you they would" ?

Do you only read the titles?

I wouldn't be surprised if ggg staff had been toiling at it all summer and they did decide to catch a break after 0.3 launch. 3 weeks into it and there has been almost no communication or patch so I assume it's break time.

To be fair they deserve it, but yeah some stuff in the game clearly need fixing.
Performance and stability is absolute trash, I'm tired of dealing with this shader cache BS. And it seems every single league needs to have some sort of technical problem now.
This league was the last I'm putting up with it, if it happens again I'll probably just quit untill I hear the game is fixed.

I’ve compiled some questions and hope GGG will forgive me if any of my words come across as offensive.

Facing version 0.3, I feel very lost and lack clear goals in the game. I imagine the operational performance in China hasn’t been as ideal as expected. Although the league is less than a month old, I feel like it’s already nearing its end!

Regarding some adjustments in version 0.3, I must admit that the new maps and the design of Act 4 are truly exquisite. However, I also have several concerns:

1.Class and Skill Balance: The constant back-and-forth changes—are they meant to prevent players from enjoying a comfortable and fun experience? Has the so-called "balance" truly lived up to the earlier reflection that "we should consider strengthening weaker classes rather than nerfing strong ones"? Is this kind of "balance" merely a way to fill the void of lacking new content in the league?

2.Currency and Item Farming: I believe you are well aware of your promise to players: "a new league every four months." Yet, the current situation is that many players have already "completed" their goals less than a quarter of the way into the league, losing the desire to accumulate more currency through farming and trading. While diversifying gear crafting is a good thing, if gear crafting is made more accessible, the drop rates of currency should be adjusted to maintain balance. (I need to emphasize drop rates here: if you insist on promoting party play to increase drop chances, you’re essentially handing more profits to multi-boxing bot studios.)

3.Bug Fixes and Optimization: While your technical team is off enjoying their vacations, I wonder if any of you have genuinely put effort into fixing bugs and optimizing the game? The infamous "The Crowbell" bug—a bug that makes it unkillable—has persisted for three leagues. If you really don’t want to fix it, just remove it! As for game optimization, I have no idea what kind of PC is needed to run the game smoothly. With an RTX 5090 graphics card and a powerful CPU, I can run any game and AI applications flawlessly—except for POE2. Some classes can cause frame drops of dozens of FPS with just one skill. And despite having the latest NVIDIA drivers, the login screen of version 0.3 constantly warns me that my GPU drivers are outdated. Are you all unaware of this?

4.Game Moderation: The "mute" function seems to be applied arbitrarily. The same言论 can be ignored when spoken by most players but immediately enforced when maliciously reported by others, with no clear standards for judgment. Some even openly spam RTM messages in public channels without consequence! Providing evidence to customer service only yields canned responses. Even if an appeal is successful, the stacked penalty duration isn’t cleared... Does your company find this kind of management amusing?

5.Bot and Studio Issues: I’ve repeatedly submitted screenshots, recordings, and relevant information to customer service regarding botting studios, but so far, your company doesn’t seem to take this issue seriously. Perhaps you think these botting studios bring you some "sponsorship" revenue, but you’re sorely mistaken. Botting accounts are regularly refunded after use, so they don’t actually generate any profit for you! As for the relevant information and build details related to these studios, I’ve already submitted them to customer service and won’t elaborate further here. I don’t think publicly sharing such negative content on forums is a good idea.

Although some of my words may be overly harsh, these are all heartfelt thoughts after dedicating myself to playing POE2. I hope GGG doesn’t squander its potential. I love this game and genuinely want to see it improve. Beyond valuing player feedback, I believe your company needs to set aside its arrogance and seriously address these issues!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
