Chill! Temporal! Hinder! Maim! Enough!

Hey, my opinion is as equally invalid as yours. There are challenges in a video game. I'd rather overcome them than complain. This one is trivial.

I dont understand why almost every post has these toxic "git gut" defenders of sometimes downright big flaws of the game, if they love it so much wouldn't they want it to be better?

The game is worse if GGG removes difficulty. 0.3 is already too easy.

Steam player numbers is not the business metric. The business metric is money brought in. That comes from supporter packs, which is more closely related to the number of hardcore players, not the number of casual players.

all of these were cranked because they made deadeye the meta, all of these make deadeye move like a regular character, all while when you play anything else time stops for you.

Dude what the absolute fuck are you talking about? Not a single one of the nodes in that screenshot have anything to do with Deadeye.

i was referring to slows, sorry i thought it was pretty obvious.

Silver charm

Youre welcome

ah yes you are correct, if ones kill speed and MS is high enough they can recharge charms fast enough to negate all of that. so deadeyes can ignore all of those [slows] with absolutely 0 investment. i grossly under estimated the meta advantage here

I have my silver charm up 100%

With a 1h warrior titan build


Has nothing to do with meta


Get a charm get duration on it

Succeed

More to the point, Early Access is a project funding model; the primary goal of an EA release is to provide the studio with enough money to complete the development of the game - it's not focused on or overly concerned with sustained revenue generation or player acquisition. The money they made on the 0.1 release alone is more than enough to fund the remainder of the project. Any additional money they make in the meantime is just gravy and/or icing depending on what you're hungry for.

As far as player population is concerned, again EA isn't really about having a massive population of active players. They want enough to keep testing the new features and getting feedback on progress, and they will tease the project a bit to potential future customers but at some point they are perfectly happy if some of those future customers don't actually experience the game in its current state because it is fundamentally an incomplete experience that lacks the polish it will have at 1.0.

When 1.0 is in the hopper they will start doing a massive ad spend (which, again, they have plenty of money for) with the goal of bringing back everyone who tried the EA as well as a bunch of new players who were either aware of the project and waiting for the end of EA or are just totally new to PoE.

...six months after that if numbers are anemic then people can start talking about what that says for the health of the game or its potential future. The people who want to bicker over player numbers in Early Access are just wasting their time and none of their predictions about doom & gloom are relevant or valid.

my point wasn't that its exclusive to deadeye, high clear speed can be achieved with warrior etc but clearly meta(deadeye this league) is king here- so the fastest class can bypass these 'slows' completely with 0 investment.

You’d have to be insanely slow to have issues with silver charm not solving this

To the point that it’s no longer the curse or chilled ground being the problem

But the build being zdps. Your choice to build something like that not the games fault atp

you just cementing my point here. if this is so easy to bypass and only slow builds suffer the brunt of it, getting a slow on 'insanely slow' build? i mean is this mechanic to gate keep end-game content? rather odd imo

Unless you get corrupted for extra speed/sockets, you are effectively running temporal chains by default each time. (skipping proper movement speed boots)

Like here, i dont think anyone would be sad if they toned down the slow potency on temporal chains and made chill ground build up like ignited one. Its so hard to suggest any changes because of this

Indeed, it's very repulsive behavior rarely matched on other forums. As for the slowing mods, it's beyond obvious they are resent by large - most commonly found waystones have some (or both) of them

Replace “slow build” with “incorrect” or “not invested” or “project test thing I am trying and won’t expect much”

Again, the “what if” post you have going doesn’t really hold much weight, or have a strong enough argument. I’d love to see a single build that doesn’t just have perma silver charm up from passive mapping without going afk for several minutes

“Slower builds” at the magnitude you are talking about is so far away from anything reasonable to play that, again, isn’t the games fault at that point. It’s whomever is doing that to themselves.

Making a bunch of mistakes/trying something out that has no damage =/= “slow build”



Again get a silver charm get duration succeed
