"Project Exodus" rocks

GGG keeps taking a lot of flak for Dawn of the Hunt (a.k.a. Project Exodus) patch changes, and I just want to stop and be a positive voice for the community on it.

I keep reading about people who are unhappy with things like poor server coverage/latency, out of touch programming design, poor skill design choices, etc in the Dawn of the Hunt update. I for one think creating an environment which ultimately results in a mass exodus of players is a good thing.

For a long time I was torn between playing SSF and Online leagues. The issue was, I had all of my time invested into online leagues, and became addicted to the trade website. Trading is fun!! Now, with the Dawn of the Hunt patch and all the players quitting the game, I no longer have to make the Online League to SSF switch. The company made the switch for me :)

Now when I go to public areas in the game, it's all empty. The trade website is moot because people aren't online to trade. Etc etc etc. It's like my online character suddenly got transferred to SSF league!! I'm genuinely happy, and I mean this 100%. I do miss being able to trade, but now when I get an upgrade in the 1/500 rolls it takes to get one, I feel like I earned it!!

This isn't a snarky post. I usually post snarky stuff to be funny. I'm being 100% serious here: I enjoy my online character essentially being defaulted to SSF. I enjoy the game more than ever, and have my sons getting into it, too!!

Keep up the good work GGG, best AARP of all time. I'm like $1000 in the hole on PoE2 MTX, looking forward to spending another $1000, and then another to show my support. <3
