Feedback and Suggestions - RIP POE for players like me :( - Forum

" I used to love POE and have played it since Piety was the final boss. I would play POE to escape/relax and loved making my own builds. I'm not a top tier player and dont have the skill or PC to do high stress bossing but it didnt used to matter. I've bought supporter packs and spent hundreds on micro transactions using points I purchased. I love that GGG is constantly adding to and improving the game but sadly the game has been ruined for me by the addition of Betrayal. I played Betrayal League and found it ok as I knew there were horrible super strong monsters that ambushed you and accordingly built a tank to survive. I'm playing standard this league so I have lots of items to experiment with new builds. Not all builds are tanks though to survive the Betrayal ambushes. I used to be able to play POE to relax. When levelling a character I would often just run white maps for a stress free experience til as I was levelled as I find deaths and the exp loss I'd grinded for soul destroying. Now thanks to the addition of the Betrayal ambushes to the core game everything has changed. I am struggling to level 2 bow characters as they arent finished or levelled yet - they dont yet have the life of dps to survive being ambushed and eg be frozen in place Chimera and I'm now finding the game soul destroying and stressful. I've even tried leaving the map and waiting but the Betrayal Ambush spawns are still there. I now have to just abandon maps when I see a Betrayal spawn (which for me seem to be about every other map) I would have thought GGG would have remembered players dont like being ambushed which is why the Ambush League (If not that league name - one that involved being ambushed) was so badly received. (Chris Wilson commented on this in a podcast) RIP POE for non top tier players who arent playing tanks. The Betrayl addition would be ok if it involved choice like the lab and fort and caravan which you can avoid - But the ambush cant be avoided. Please GGG let me and others like me enjoy POE again. i was playing since ... 7 years , think same , actually i'm no more playing , GGG are crap to upgrade inventory , no sorting function , no normal to quad stash upgrade no fossils stash , map stash totaly broken etc.. now all they want is making money.

It is astonishing that in 5 pages we moved from Betrayal problems to GGG is greedy. Betrayal can be a problem for some builds, but others can perform well. If you want to talk about greed let's talk about Micro's in 60-100$ games made by EA, Activilol and Bugthesda. Yes there is bugs, like all games (not mentionning Failout 76) and some content will not be liked by everyone, but calling GGG greedy just because there is problems with stash tabs ? WTF O_o ?? Path of Exile is a Casino for gambling addicts. Gambling is not fun nor a game mechanic...	Posté par Azarhiel le 27 mars 2019 19:26:45 Citer ce post
" Badgerfroth a écrit : Got to be honest, I can't blame you. I played Betrayal league and found it irritating and frustrating. Add to that the incursions and Bestiary with Delve and it felt like a mish-mash of content rather than anything cohesive and engaging. I have spent 0 mins in the synthesis league because I felt that GGG had simply replayed a poor league and added another 'mechanic' to the game focusing on quantity rather than quality. I'm not a guy who can spend 8+ hours a day grinding and I don't expect to get top tier gear on a single map run, but I would expect the game to be enjoyable for the more casual players. As it stands, it's just a push of mixed goods onto what is otherwise a great game. I don't know where GGG will go from here. But where the game is right now is not attracting me to spend my time on it. I jump onto the site now and then looking for hopeful news in the dev manifesto, but until then I'll sit in the sidelines waiting for a good and engaging POE league to return. I'm also disappointed in the bloated state of PoE. Except for end-game players, Synth League is not really a 3-month league. If it were the only mechanic in the game, it would be. But if you're a laid back player, you've basically got to decide what to spend time doing and ignore the rest. This is not a good feeling in an ARPG. From the game's design, one could conclude that GGG is concentrating on what it considers its core players and ignoring those who don't end-game speed run. I notice on the Steam Charts that PoE has had more than a 50% drop in players and we're not even a month into the league. So I think those of us who feel this way are not alone.

somebody remembers when they introduced rogue exiles? they also did more damage than bosses. if masters do more damage than bosses, they're the bosses. rewards should be according to that challenge, are they? age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

No No, he's right. Do you feel you could handle all this crap with 4 basic tabs? Fossils, resonators, maps, scarabs, the few good uniques, gems, debatable rares, fragments, prophecys, synth gear, leveling gear, good bases to craft.. like the list goes frigin on... divine vessels even. Like Its hard not to come back to greed when its so blatant these days. I swear they even said they felt 4 is enough. Like what crack are they smoking!!?? Tabs should be introduced with the league mechanic, and for free at that. Its the same design of mobile games. Give them something shiny, make them want and need it, and then give them something they have to buy.	Posté par Millar le 28 mars 2019 03:38:11 Citer ce post
" I would play POE to escape/relax and loved making my own builds. Hi there. I'm surprised noone wrote this here before, but 99% homemade builds will not work. It requires deep knowdlegde of game mechanics, passive tree and items (I don't think I remember more than 10% uniques, not to mention their stat values). Also, most of the builds posted on forum are either weak or don't work. I got friends who msg me "this build is horrible, game is unplayeable!" and when I check their choice, i find out the build is either outdated, not tested, or author write "I feel that this build is great, but I havn't been able to do uber Izaro with it yet". Path of Exile is not casual friendly. Sure, you can do whatever you want, but be aware that not everything will work - for that you can blame only yourself. It is like wanting to be an artist, beeing horrible at painting and wondering why people don't want to buy it. It is like going to a court against giant corpo and refusing a lawyer saying "I've seen Suits TV series, I will be fine on my own". " Not all builds are tanks though to survive the Betrayal ambushes. Yes, but playing this kind of build is your choice. Adapt. Change uniques, aruas, or maybe take few passives to leech/def/dmg reduction/regen - there are many layers of protection for any class. You want to play glass cannon? Cool, so make sure you can one shoot syndicate members before they get to you. I've seen a build that did uber elder on afk - this game is easier every league. I know you want this game easier, but it already is easy, I'm not a top player, but I did uber elder just after 2 weeks of the league start. I recommend picking well tested build, or, if you really need to make your own, ask experienced build makers for help (I'm NOT that person). I'm really sorry for my english, it isn't my native language, I'm working on it, but I am making a lot of grammar mistakes. Thanks! Biggest compliments for my crafted items - "bs, they must have been RMT'ed" I'm disabled, I have rare case of semperduravera, so I can write things that may look rude, but it is because of disability - I'm forced to tell truth using words you may not like.

So having to buy a few 3 dollar stash tabs for major QoL is being greedy on a game 7 years released, completely free since day 1? You're not serious, I would hope? Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done. Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave.	Posté par Xavathos le 28 mars 2019 06:58:29 Citer ce post

Indeed. Ain't Spending A Minute More On POE Cos' These BS Aislig Ambush FPS Drop Is Really Annoyin'. Especially With This Crappy XP System. They Forcefeeding Us Crap Core Mechanics Which Are Unbalanced And Most People Avoid Due To Performance issues They Cause. Make Them At Least Zana Device Optionals Or Somethin' Like League Stones. I'd Rather Pay For A Fully Optimised Enjoyable Game Than This Crap. Even Oriath Takes A Year To Load With This MTX Theatre It Has Become. Back To Grim Dawn And Titan Quest A.E. 'Till They Fix Their Shit. Dark Are The Veils Of Death...!!!	Posté par Raven_Blade le 29 mars 2019 07:16:32 Citer ce post
