General Discussion - Streamer priority confirmed. PoE is free to play, so play it for free, but Boycott GGG. - Forum

It's the day I stop caring about GGG's slouch from grace about which you should be worried. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.	Posted by Foreverhappychan#4626 on May 31, 2021, 8:31:33 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
" Shagsbeard wrote: Sure. I accept that. But to claim you need to drop $100-$150 to make the game playable isn't true at all. You might "want" more tabs. That's a whole different story than "need" more tabs. I think you pretty much need the special tabs... at least currency, maps and frags. I agree. Some premium tabs so you can trade and the 3 above. Would also like to mention GGG did not add any more special tabs lately (harvest / heist / ritual / ultimatum had none). They also allowed affinity to be bound to normal tabs so it works for everyone. Did you try turning it off and on again?	Posted by kaepae#2068 on May 31, 2021, 9:15:19 PM Quote this Post

They're distractingly overcooked, which is both in lockstep with the game's excess-is-a-myth design philosophy and yet garish to a point of silliness. The high contrast freebie was utterly unavoidable given the eyestrain the standard cursor can induce, so at least they recognised that much. I still feel the game has cunningly blurred QoL and essential, but that's been true for a long time. Folks, Yolo mouse is a better mouse cursor and and it is free! Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

If you want to shake your head you can check out the news post from the other day about GGG's upcoming mid-league event. Posters there are gaslighting you into thinking that they're the victims if you so much as even acknowledge the reality of what happened mid April. Guess that's a go-to tactic nowadays but I hate it all the same.	Posted by innervation#4093 on Jun 1, 2021, 3:20:54 AM Quote this Post
" DoubleU wrote: +1, still playing but not paying. Yeah, I'm barely playing, but still not paying. I feel as if it's because I have paid in the past, that it's the only reason I play as little as I do. Hard to walk away from something you have so much money invested in.

Invested? You really don't get it. It's "spent"... not "invested".	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Jun 1, 2021, 8:47:10 AM Quote this Post
" Shagsbeard wrote: Invested? You really don't get it. It's "spent"... not "invested". I really do get it, I do. An investment is a devotion of one's time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result. I invested into a live service game with the expectation of a worthwhile result. I spent as well. Bit of both. But I do get it.	Posted by Adrenicrome#0934 on Jun 1, 2021, 9:09:40 AM Quote this Post
Ok. I'm going to invest in a beer.	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Jun 1, 2021, 9:14:01 AM Quote this Post
