Excuse me, but anybody actually playing the league content internally?
" These changes will do almost nothing about balancing the marker usage rate. For example, I am sitting at this rate at the moment (fact, 6 other GHs crashed): " But even then, up to (:D) 40% increase only from the heist rewards and up to (:D) 15% decrease from revealing costs will help just a very little balancing the marker income and reveal costs ratio. Non-heists shall drop much more markers, or that heist up to 40% shall be like up to 400% at least. All-time non-streamer luckless dropless rewardless tons-of-time-playing non-TFT-er 100% solo player.
So, it just turns out, we were lied to for years with the promises of a two-storied one PoE 4.0. All these worse and worse beta leagues, all these braindead changes, all lead to this. |

" Agreed! Yours is the first post not slamming the changes in the first 8 pages. I know for a fact I have much more fun playing PoE when I avoid reading these comments... We're having fun just playing PoE. No ego. No entitlement. Heist has it's ups and downs but holy heist there must be a perfect game out there that causes this kind of attitude so why is everyone complaining on these forums instead of playing it?

" Though I agree most are just whining to whine, some are not. A good number of people have played this game for years. It is becoming very tiresome to deal with bug ridden relesases due to their very contracted development cycle. It goes by the philosophy of 'get the big stuff in, and we will fix the small stuff later'. After 7? years of development of this game there have been VERY few, if any, releases that were actually clean. I have made my point in several threads that I, for one, will not be supporting them with my money until this changes to some degree. And this does not even go into how miffed I was on the curse changes this league. It effectively bricked every character I had. The end result is...I haven't played this league virtually at all, compared to, at minimum, hundreds of hours in EVERY league since open beta. |

" " always make me cringe these zombified 'i love you' ( aka crouching deep into the *** ) - posts. holy shit twitch and reddit really have removed some important part of organism in people |

Talismans have a 1 in 1500ish chance to have the right annoint. Considering there are about 30 talisman bases and 6 random mods that need to be somewhat useful since they are corrupted, i'd say this improves the odds of dropping a good one by, well...
In all honesty; i like talismans though. Not that I ever had a useful one drop during the league itself or in any of the leagues after, but it could happen some day. Seems like these fixes might make the league somewhat playable now, but after weeks of fixes for a hit or miss thematic league (which was a miss for me to begin with) i think i might just sit this one out now and hope i at least like the theme of the december league. Maybe it's just me but it feels like GGG is losing a bit of touch with their original playerbase. I mean; if their current direction nets them more users then it's obviously a good decision for them, but still kinda sad for people that liked the previous direction. |

You're absolutely right...GGG could have done "nothing" about the bugs in this league when it released. The playerbase could have taken the "turn the other cheek" attitude and not cared enough about the game to comment and just silently played something different. And that would have accomplished, what, exactly? PoE is a free game. As such it relies on the playerbase enjoying it enough to spend money willingly on meaningless cosmetics in order to pay the bills. As players, we're more than happy to support a job well done. You don't sell a small company in New Zealand to a corporate giant like Tencent if that company isn't doing some things right and the players aren't supporting it.
Buggy release after Buggy release eventually will whittle away the players willing to support the cause. No support=no money to pay the bills. No money=no game eventually. So while those of us who give a damn enough to complain might seem "entitled" to you, what is actually going on is that we don't want this game to go down the same path as some of the other flash in the pan games that have come around. Anthem, Onigiri, Hellgate: London, Marvel Heroes, Everquest, Lies of Astaroth, Telltale games...the list goes on and on with failed games. Gamers have way too many options at their disposal, and a very good share of us (myself included) have ADD or ADHD which severely limits the amount of BS they'll put up with before moving along with their life. My attention span isn't such that I'll sit around and wait a month or more to play the new content that was overhyped along the way. I genuinely like the heist premise, so I've stuck it out longer than I normally would have. But I fully understand the multitude of the "This is getting ridiculous, I'm out" posts. GGG has to step up to the plate and get this figured out. This will not only impact this league, but will also disenfranchise some of the players on future league releases and also could have negative and far reaching effects on the sequel. Finally, I see a lot of people with "Relax, it's only a game." True story, bro. It's only a game. But in case you haven't been paying attention, real life is a shit show right now. Riots, crime, pandemic, joblessness, more worries than good news, people aren't talking to each other right now. I go outside and instead of people waving and smiling, there's nothing but shifty eyes from behind the masks. People wondering if you just coughed because you had a tickle in your throat or if you spell doom for their entire way of life. There's a lot of uncertainty in the world right now and lets face it, we play video games because that's our escape from it all. With the world how it is right now, when our escape is also being turned into a shit show, well, it makes us a bit cranky. |
