Why do the Devs have to shiv you every time?

Players wanted respeccing ascendancies. Ok fine, after months he folds on the issue. but not before he shivs you. you have to waste your time running a shit chaos trial to respec. the thing everyone hates. cant just let a man respec and enjoy his class. gotta waste his time.


Players want to see the rare mobs in a map. Ok fine, after months of asking, he folds on the issue. But not before he refuses to show where to boss is. just to shiv you. just to waste your time.


Im starting to see a pattern. of just not being able to admit defeat on your initial dev desition, and give the players what they want. gotta slap em for having asked for it.

If you enjoy your class, why are you swapping ascendancies?

To explore the class, and try out what the other ascendencies have to offer?

Many players don't like to just stick to one build. It's fun to respec the tree, try out different skills and supports, and ascendencies as well.

Maybe try it out sometime?

Picking a new ascendancy is dropping the class you currently play and choosing another.

OK, so my wording was off, but I'm sure you can figure out the intent, right? It's not too big of a leap.

People complain overall loot/currency is bad.

"Hey we will buff boss/wisp loot"

would you of rather he just said no and force you to level another character on top of running the trials again to get points?

developers become emotionally attached the game they have created, blinded by a strong desire to protect it all costs.

this is why we see the same things over and over in games, where the players are deeply unhappy with something, and the devs need to be dragged kicking and screaming to make changes.

but to GGG's credit, they are trying now. it just took a BRUTAL interview by ziz to have their eyes opened.

But did their eyes open really? All I see is a 0.2G patch that addresses none of the major concerns at all and not even an announcement that they work on any of the stuff ppl are complaining about since 0.2 launch (overnerfs, no endgame chase items, no sustainable T16-T18 maps, no loot, RNG nexus mechanic, campaign 5x too long, difficulty curve having weird jumps, monster vs player speed, on death effects, trials being near impossible to farm consistently without dying repeatedly) or the major issues 0.1 already had (skill gems being locked onto weapons, high attribute requirements limiting the path that can be taken on the passive tree, combos being mandatory on certain skills which all results in pushing you towards cookie cutter builds)...

So Idk but I really havent seen that they (and by that I mean Jonathan) have opened their eyes to anything yet. It seems more like bunch of small hotfixes to keep players juuuuust 5% less frustrated enough to have them keep playing any hoping for more changes which might never come.
