Great metaphors, except not making sense in the context.

You claim finding exploits in an overcomplicated ruleset to arrive at the same or similar outcome is creativity. It's not, it's just finding exploits in an overcomplicated ruleset to arrive at the same or similar outcome.

PoE 1 is great, better than PoE 2 in some aspects. It's a bit overrated in the creativity department though, and gameplay is an autobattler in disguise.

Nope. It actually makes sense. By your logic, listening to different music is like exploiting things in PoE, but listening to various kinds of music is the intended use, an exploit is by definition - not.

PoE1 is not overrated in the creativity department, that's actually one thing that doesn't even get as much praise as it should be, but mostly ppl who don't understand the game deeply enough think it's actually not that deep.

The gameplay part? Sure. I view every ARPG as a cookie-clicker in disguise.

It's as creative as getting a complicated Lego set, and making up ways to build the same set in differently coloured bricks by switching the building order

That's how you sound right now. Weirdo. Get over it.

I am a wierdo, not guys playing games being watched, or people watching them play games.

If you say so.

Ziz publicly slammed 0.2.0, calling it “the worst patch ever.” Then just days later, he announces he’s sponsoring a major cash race for Last Epoch.

Here’s the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gMhgjZGaT8s

The timing feels coordinated: stir discontent in one game, then pivot to a monetized event in its direct competitor. Welcome to the new meta: outrage, then monetize.

I like Ziz, get most of my builds from his team. This though is simple business, he makes his living by making money from YouTube and any event that a sponsor organises that gets him views and then subs is pure business.
Whether 0.2.0 is the worst patch ever (strongly disagree) or the best patch ever ( highly doubt it , but it’s s step in a good direction) is debatable, but irrelevant.

Talk about a nihilistic point of view. Of course money is involved but there is also the aspect of being passionate about games. You do not become a big streamer like Ziz if you do not love games and playing them. LE is making their largest content patch ever, of course he is hyped about it. Most of us are.

"0.2 being a step in a good direction?" Are you kidding me? It is the worst patch I have ever seen. They are now on hotfix 0.2.0F. They are soon running out of alphabetic letters and you call it a step in a good direction. Holy how far the apple has bounced away from the tree..

No lies detected.

And I'm poe2 target audience, yes i like combos and positioning and all that, but no, GGG didn't do anything on it remotely well.

The nerf on loot is so insane, it's like they hate you for getting even anything. 100+ uniques?? For what if I'm not going to see 99% of them? 50+ breaches for 30 splinters?? There has never been developers this petty and stingy on loot.

No loot, no craft, no money, no trading, no power, no speed, and many more.

THIS IS THE WORST PATCH

I mean the PoE community has gotten him 75k subs in December he earned more Money in one Month then normal ppl do in 4years. So his excuse for a Weak patch is just a justify so he can quit the game and nobody is Mad. Crawling back for next patch and another Subathon, I can guarantee you. Influencer are the worst for the Community. Ziz is just another Money driven Clown. Pls build your own Identity your own Opinion and don't follow the pack. Be yourself not somebody else.

It's almost like 2 things can exist outside from one another....

Correlation does not imply causation.

strange, zizaran makes a rough interview with ggg and suddenly a useless uninformed misleading forum thread is picking up.

if we re gonna go into wierd conspiracies.


when ggg said they were gonna have a beta with full content last year, and now they say they wont be feature complete by end of 2025 so we re talking 2 years late minimum. do you think maybe if people have known they would have sold less early access tickets ? that s a lot of money.

but of course op prefers to focus on a small sponsored race on last epoch.
that s totally not disingenuous.

He's a streamer who plays multiple games. He slammed 0.2 because it sucks and very few like it. Last Epoch also looks good and they have been listening to their players.

Everyone supports Ziz and the majority agrees with what he said.

Don't see anything wrong with it, 0.2 patch indeed is beyond terrible and LE seems to have cooked well.
