From Hype to Disappointment: How Patch 0.2.1 Ruined the Chase

The latest 0.2.1 patch is honestly so disappointing that it’s made me not want to play anymore. Why? Imagine playing for two months, grinding hard to earn in-game currency, saving up just to buy valuable, pinnacle items like Kalandra's Touch or Rite of Passage. These items used to be special, rare and meaningful. But now? They drop so often that nobody even wants to buy them. Can you imagine how that feels?

I kept a Rite of Passage as an investment, believing it was a late-game trophy worth chasing. But I didn’t expect GGG to make endgame items drop so easily that they’ve completely lost their value. If even the rarest items become common, what’s left to aim for? What’s the point of grinding for divines and buying expensive gear when that gear becomes worthless a few days later?

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. There’s nothing left to chase, nothing to show off, and no reason to keep grinding. If everything becomes easy to get, then the excitement and the purpose of playing disappears.

It sucks right now and I was saving over 40 white stellar bases to sell in a few weeks. Now they are worth nothing.

In the long run, it's better for the game and casual players.

Yeah, I totally agree, this might make the game more appealing for casuals. You know, the kind of players who play for a week, try out a few builds, then quit and move on. But for long-term, grind-heavy players like me, who enjoy the chase and the satisfaction of earning something rare over time, this kind of change just kills the motivation. When everything becomes easy and common, what’s left for the people who stick around and actually grind?

I would prefer SSF actually if crafting and loot quality were reasonable and rewarding. They are not.

This patch improves the SSF experience quite a bit. I just wished it came sooner. After all those hours I put in with diminishing returns, my enthusiasm is waning.

It's a video game. Don't invest. Play the game. Anyone complaining about investments in this game are either RMT farmers or elitists that don't want to let more casual players enjoy and experience all the content.

Can you even hear yourself? You're saying it's my fault for caring about currency, in a game that literally has a massive trade economy built into it. Where there’s currency, there’s economy. That’s just how it works.

You might be playing SSF and if that’s the case, fine. But if you’re not, I honestly wonder if you’ve ever even had 100 divines in your currency tab. Because if you did, you'd understand how great it feels to be rich, whether it’s in-game or in real life. It gives you freedom, choices, and goals to chase.
