I am not excited for the August league - And here's why.

I won't be participating in seasonal servers. They are as cringe as speed-runners. I'll continue to play in Standard and advocate for inclusion of all content across all realms concurrently. League-exclusive mechanics is FOMO nonsense.

Yes. Intentional incompetence is a form of deception I'm fully aware of what I meant. English is my first language and my intnet was that they are intentionally feigning incompetence as that's what "willful incompetence" is. It's a way to deflecting responsibility.

Either way choosing to nerf things into the ground intentionally is even worse in my opinion. But I'm not really here to argue that or anything really. Just giving my feedback on why I wont be excited for 0.3.0

it is worse and has nothing to do with incompetence. i wanted you to understand that this is how they lure ppl to play new seasons. so best of luck with 'not plying'. see you in 0.3 ;)

I've got FF14 I'll be fine not playing. Thanks though. Unless actual game development happens and they balance the game instead of doing whatever they have been doing. Then I might play.

Their economy assumes the leagues. Some players will reach level 100 and top tier items for two weeks, the others for month or two. Some will not reach it ever, but they are not their targeted audience anyway. As they suppose the first two types of the players spend more money.

Might be their data is wrong, and it is likely different at least for POE2, since the game has wider audience coverage. Had in the past. But I don't see they have changed their logic, since the economy is the same as in POE1. So according to this leagues will stay. And the most of other prictices form POE1, including nerfs.

It was irresponsible to approach new product that way, but it seems even the developer doesn't think it is a problem, hoping Tencent will fund promotional bombs to drop on the targeted audience. Only they may cut off the funding instead, seeing the level of incompetence. happens to the failing companies. Then the game will freeze in this state for ages. And again who's problem is this, why the players should worry if the developer don't? Obvious they don't. Stop being ever-waiting and ever-hoping fools.

I only learned about the update in august from this thread. And quite likely I won't even play it, just like the most of those who joined in december-january. Their behavior was insane in that time. Unforgivable. They just got rid from the half of their playerbase by their own hands as if they don't need players? Maybe they decided to resolve their server load issues that way. This is nonsense.

Three things I've discovered in this long 0.2 league as a mid-casual enthusiast.

1) End game content. Boss fights are fun; mapping is not.

2) Mid-High end loot is still rare. The trade site gets around it by throwing 200,000-400,000 people at it (IDK). I get some people can poop divines, I've accrued about 7 or 8 in 200 hours.
2b) Playing the regular campaign, where you'd likely want low end currency for simple upgrades, gives you none of that currency.

3) Crafting (and ergo the economy) is -MODERATOR EDITED- poop in every conceivable way; from the lack of explanation, the lack of user-determined control, through to shi*-conomics where it's 99.9% more reliable to buy someones late-game offcast than to craft your own level-appropriate item. Who out there spends divines on crafting? Do tell. Chaos Orbs are the new Exalts now the league has matured: who's crafting with these? The rarity of these items vs how useful they are is on some weird-ass logarithmic scale beyond understanding.

I don't mind mapping. I agree with the rest though.

They just need to fix trade and loot/crafting. Then we are gonna be cooking.

They need to fix a lot more than that. Ability balance and notable balance is pretty bad. I also feel like boss mechanics could use a lot of work.
