The leagues are done by cycle and not by when they have something good ready like lots of other games

Unsatisfying loot combined with feature bloat from leagues

Instead of playing you collect and organize 1000 different currency, fragments, cards etc.

I dont know why, but fucking Path of Building gives me more fun than actual game.

I'm enjoying playing pure phys every league while focusing on survival.
I usually deal around 5mil dps end game which is neat.
I think people who complain are the ones who don't really know how to build their characters and expect the game to compensate for them. They just end up getting one shot late game while dealing like 1.5mil dps with a maxed build.

Just master PoB bro.

This. If it were easy to just pick up the game and build my character how I want without mind-boggling minmaxing and grinding I wouldn't get burnt out so fast.

fpbp. they don't even bother finishing the league before they release it. Chris just takes a fat steamer and they have to serve it up because that's the schedule they set for themselves. game is dogshit and not worth your time right now.

Something eventually one shots you, even through 500 defense layers.

After you make a couple characters whose damage is measured in shapers-per-second, and after killing sirus 100x+, its gets a bit stale. This league was a dumpster fire as well so i stopped 2 weeks in when exalts went down to like 50-60c a piece.

Hope you got tons of ex when they were going for 18c

Heavy case of speedclear autism. Old PoE felt like a nice mix between Diablo 1 and Diablo 2. Current PoE is just Median XL but 10x faster.

>i stopped 2 weeks in when exalts went down to like 50-60c a piece.

Me too budd. I play for that dopamine rush whenever an exalt drops. This league's exalts were pure disappointment.

Nah I quit playing when they were i think 55 or so. I looked at poe.ninja a bit afterwards and saw they dipped that low and it just makes me sick. I bought like 40ex @60c the first week in expectation that they will get up to the 150-180c normal price like every other league but they tanked and i said fuck that.

Yeah, thats why i play. I miss delirium league where simulacrum was a massive pleb filter and let those who knew the game to make absolute bank. Ive never been richer or had a more powerful character.

Oh man. I went for minus 80% damage taken from crits, 40k armor, 7 end, 1.5k strength pillar strength jugg.
I just became so fucking rich and unkillable while the vast majority where pissing their pants bitching about how hard the league is.

the reddit tears were absolutely glorious.
>i cant get past wave 10 simulacrum, ggg pls nerf

Meanwhile I made a cycloner that shat out like 13m shaper dps on pob just 1 tapping everything but kosis with so much damage mitigation i didnt even need flasks. Braindead, unkillable 1 button play for something like 3-400 ex that league.
Also Ed/contagion was good that league

fpbp most recent league had so many bugs and hotfixes in the first two weeks its not even funny.

Redditors are manchildren who want to cheat their way through life without putting in any work so I'm not surprised.
In comparison, "Heist" was about tricking players and stealing their time. I just went slam gladiator to test the concept, killed sirus once, then stopped playing.
I never bothered with the heist maps. They were boring as shit, felt like doing a meme mobile game task for measly rewards.
After quitting the league someone told me that Heist actually had a fucking questline, when I did those green texted heists I expected to get something in return, instead I just got a giant dude who wants to protect a loli girl or some shit. Like for fuck's sake at least let me know these quests are tied together some how.

The GGG smol indie dev cult of personality they built is falling apart now. They can pin all the problems they've had and the lack of PoE2 news on covid all they like. But my simple measure of how bad they've become is how the vulkan renderer went from amazing to busted after updating it, and the fucking childish response to bloom.

>and the fucking childish response to bloom.
They were obviously using the current build to test it for poe 2. Dunno why they didn't just come clean.

I had literally zero hype for Heist and have zero hype for next league and whatever event they're planning. Probably won't even play next league

china

Just about everything they've done over the last year has been beta testing for PoE2. Meta = shapeshifting. Delirium = the new smoke/fog engine. Harvest = base building. Heist = companions. With PoE2 easily 2-3 years away still, I wouldn't be surprised if they tank the game before release with these fucked up 3 weeks QA/QC periods every league start.

I love this game but what I dont love is hi there is this event in this level with this thing right here and it's the same time every single time you do it.

All maps should be able played in different biomes.

Different aspects from feature creep should be scattered in levels.

There should be traps like ascensions leveling up.

Enemies should have skills of players. Or a combo of other enemies in the game

And skill gems should have affixes on them like.
10% to home onto enemies
10% damage to skeletons
30% for this skill to shoot diagonally


This would legit solve all problems in the game

What makes you think PoE 2 is 2-3 years away? They originally planned to have a beta out by now, and there's no way they would've done that if the actual release was so far out.

>i cant get past wave 10 simulacrum, ggg pls nerf
I hope that's exaggeration as I it was easy to do wave 20 simulacrums on HCSSF this league.

because GGG is a slow as shit company, and when they try to stick to a set schedule its always incomplete garbage, IE recent leagues.
If PoE 2 comes out soon, its not going to go well and will be a PR disaster. Mark my words.

POWER
CREEP

They keep adding new stat increasing mechanics that they then have to rebalanced the game to include further increasing the grind for decent endgame gear.

They take Grinding Gear Games too literally. Have you ever tried to gear an end game character in this piece of shit? It takes ages.

Are you writing from 2016? Warcry bonkers can oneshot most bosses with dirt-cheap ssf-tier gear.

Everything, pretty much.

Slight power creep is healthy for an action RPG, it keeps players invested since no build is ever truly "finished".
The reverse is true actually, GGG nerfed a ton of fun builds over the years making the game less satisfying to play.
