The Vision Died and you should rejoice
|
I went to see my doctor recently because I honestly couldn’t understand what was happening to me. For weeks, I’ve been waking up energized, smiling for no reason, even humming to myself in the morning. No anxiety, no frustration, no mysterious urge to uninstall games out of despair. I told him straight: "Doctor, something is wrong with me. I feel... good."
He started running through the usual checklist. "Have you changed your diet?" No, still the same mess of energy drinks and leftover pizza. "Are you exercising more?" Not at all, unless you count clicking faster. "Maybe you’ve started meditating?" Please, I can’t sit still for more than 30 seconds. Finally, he leaned back in his chair, narrowed his eyes and asked the question that cut straight through the mystery: "Wait… are you playing patch 0.3?" I froze. "Yes, actually… yes I am." He smiled knowingly. "Well, there’s your explanation. That’s not a medical condition. That’s just GGG renouncing their toxic 'Vision TM' and giving you the greatest game of all time." And he was right. Path of Exile 2 patch 0.3 isn’t just a game, it’s a cure. It’s proof that GGG has seen the light, that they’ve cast away the shackles of misery, friction, and sadistic design philosophy. The oppressive darkness of "Vision TM" has lifted, and in its place is joy, flow, and pure ARPG bliss. So here I am, healed, thriving, and overflowing with gratitude. Thank you, GGG, for making not just the best patch, not just the best ARPG, but the best video game humanity has ever witnessed. Patch 0.3 didn’t just fix a game, it fixed me.

Sorry man, but it sounds like you're addicted to poe1 zooming and you have hard time leaving poe2 for players that actually care about different playstyle than "your only known formula so you have to force everybody to it".
First you blackmailed GGG with bad reviews, then you're love bombing them with affection, I hope they don't listen to you and stick to their original plan as it seems you hate their vision so much, looks like you just hate poe2 core indentity and want it evaporated. |

" Apologies accepted. But I haven't played POE 1 in 6 years, so you must be mistaking with someone else. Path of Exile 2 is a fantastic game, it's wonderful and it's sad you don't like it. You have the right to detest it but the fact is it's awesome and very well received by the vast majority. " That's not what blackmailing is. You repeat yourself in this thread and that's probably a cope mecanism. They ruined the game in 0.2 and people voiced their anger by leaving a negative review. The review was based on 1500 hours of game play experience and 1470 of these hours came from 0.1. I only played around 30 hours of 0.2 because it was atrocious. Now that the game is fantastic, I changed my review to positive because they are going in the right direction and because the game is going above my expectations. Instead of being mad, you should be happy that GGG finally woke up and decided to make the best game of all time. |

" What does this even mean?Nobody is blackmailing GGG with bad reviews when they already do that on their own accord,and a majority of the falloff between every single league has been due to the same complaints. GGG is already pushing away from "the vision" because Jonathan realizes it's unsustainable in its current form,and likely will never be. |

" I don't think I've seen a more cringe worthy post in my life, that's actually amazing 😂 "Sigh"

So when do people get to play something else bar the 4 to 5 builds this season that work wile everything else get shat on
Porting POE1 content to POE2 just showed me they have no plan and their just winging it and to blunt im not impressed one bit Im sick of the speed mobs attack at vs players and their seemingly perfect abilty to target the spot im rolling to like a military grade sniper. Im tired of my temp field acting like nothing wile mobs slow you to a crawl Im tired of mobs being op then spectering them and their DOG SHIT. Im tired of being in 30% movement speed boots and still feeling like im walking through knee hi mud. Im tired of mobs all having either ICE or Temporal on them or both Im tired of this game saying it was NOT GOING TO BE POE1 then just being a WORSE version of poe1. We already have POE1 and its a niche market because of how it plays i dont want the same bullshit here. |

They definitely haven't delivered a cure. Nor have they removed misery, friction, and sadistic design. You can clearly see all 3 in their new support gems, the endgame, and even adding "fixes" like sprint.
That said 0.3 was a big step in the right direction with good new content in the form of Abyss. As well as its affect on crafting. And this was their initial release of it, not "finely tuned" for months. I imagine they'll continue tweaking Abyssal stuff like those lightless morays that are just invulnerable for no reason 50% of the time, desecration aura, and some overtuned damage stuff. |

" Yeah I agree, my initial post was meant to be hyperbolic and exagerated. The end game needs a lot of work but in general the game is pretty good and 0.3 is the right direction |

Oh another topic of how good to onebutton the entire game in 3 days. Sounds pretty fun. Interesting how long it would be interesting to mindlessly faceroll through the content. Diablo 3 expirience shows that the game which gives players what they want dying amazingly quickly.
