Don't you think that you need to make leagues last a little longer? Like 4-5 months, before you are ready to release next one? Do extensive beta-tests with streamers, pay them for it, and only after this can you go for a release.
This shit that you are doing right now is unacceptable.

Be smarter, only give support AFTER seeing how the new league worked.
This league is not worth a miserable penny, in fact they should pay you back.
Or keep beta-testing a game that gets worse every 3 months to chase a stubborn vision of difficult, frustrating, and no decent motivation (see the awful crafting-drops situation).
A game should simply entertain people,
I really don't even understand why GGG is so relentless.
Do we really have to hope that D4 is a good product to bury this poor "vision" ?!

That's a brilliant one XDD

after 2 weeks, things still same, all just bad as far I can say.
No more support from me, ty

Balance for poe players, not meta crafters.

Hello GGG.

I want to start off by saying PoE is my favorite game, been playing since beta. I play with a small group of buddies. Usually solo and sometimes in small groups. Always look forward to league launches. I don't post often and feel I must post cause of how this league made most of my friends not want to play. I'm still playing and with a few friends but it's not many, maybe five total. Usually have fifty people around our guild and friends. The few of us left are still hoping some things will be considered.

First off arch nemesis mobs. Having new mods in the game and even some of them being really tough is fine. Having a fresh set of mods and removing some old ones seem like a fresh route. Having a few of them being very rare currency cash cows doesn't seem like a bad idea either, maybe not so rare tho? The problem I feel is needing to either call in a heavy geared MF character or having one of your own to make that mob drop a huge amount of currency seems like one of the most tedious things I have ever experienced playing this game. I have never made a MF character or ever plan on it. I don't think MF stat should be on gear at all in my opinion. Needing to jump past all those hoops to make it actually drop a bit a currency I think is asking to much and it plainly sux. Even feels like a punishment after finding one and killing one and not using MF gear and getting nothing from it after not seeing one for so long. I rather not be forced to use MF gear to get it to actually drop it's loot. I don't plan on stopping my maps mid map, stop killing a mob, call in a group to kill it for me, so I guess i'm never gonna get that cash cow. Maybe after not seeing a rare currency mob like that for so long it should be reward enough actually being able to just kill it to get it's reward and not over complicate things.

Harvest crafts. Harvest seemed like it was in a good place before this league. Seemed the way GGG was going in having lifeforce drop, and being able to not stop your gameplay during harvest, and being able to use the lifeforce later was a fantastic idea. Now it becomes an issue of now players will have unlimited crafts cause they can get lots of lifeforce? How about making the lifeforce per player instead? Also could of possibly added daily cooldowns on some of the crafts you felt were to strong being in a unlimited use state? The way harvest crafts were changed for this new version I would of never traded the way harvest was before for the current one. I was more than willing to stop and use the crafts I had available to me from harvest before this league. The new way is way more convenient, but the lack of crafts now doesn't seem worth the change at all.

Currency. Exalts and divines being swapped feels like it was a last minute decision. There aren't many divine div cards. No divine shards. Massing divines seems so much harder than massing exalts ever were. Tainted currency, the current numbers for them make them seem so useless right now. Adding them back to the game then making numbers go from what they were before to what they are now makes me question why even bring them back at all. I'm glad that you are planning to look them over. My lakes are currently piling up in my stash in hopes that they will be looked over a little more. They seem like they could be better overall but it's current state lacks.

To finish I just want to say my biggest disappointment mostly lies with how unhappy most of the people I play with are and that they are not willing to play after just a few days into the league. New league, ExileCon 2023, was suppose to be a very exciting time. Thanks for your time.

A concerned player.

PS - Looks like players were hoping we would possibly see 3.19.1 with some big changes or fixes to some of the issues players were complaining about. Two weeks into the league it's starting to look like those hopes are almost all faded away. At this point players aren't happy with lots of the changes that seem to be here to stay, that's starting to sink in. The things taken away this league, not looking forward to next leagues take aways at all. Reducing the numbers across the board so hard this league really feels bad. In the end if players aren't enjoying the game they won't play. That should be a top priority.

Btw what have you done to stacked decks? Also nerfed without telling? or did i skip it in a patch note? opened about 3000 stacked decks yesterday and nothing. The best thing i got was the hoarder card -.-

Rubbish. POE is now a poor shadow of itself. I'm not sure if you realize how much fun you took away from your game with this shitty 3.19. When you like min-maxing like I do you just want 3.18 back. No harvest divines and implicit on jewel and I'm not even talking about reforges keep pref/suf for influenced item. Don't come crying next league when no-one is gonna even try the new league. Who cares about a great league in a shit game ? But we are lucky, Last Epoch is almost ready and I'm pretty sure they won't kill the fun all the time to accord with their "vision" and it won't be a fucking stupid retarded loot gobling chase.

"In Delve, Archnemesis monsters with the Heralding Minions mod are too punishing."

Imagine thinking this is only limited to delve...

Remove or heavily nerf it EVERYWHERE, heist is identical to delve in the fact that you aren't allowed to die yet I see you fail to mention nerfing it there too.

Nobody likes heralding minions or herald of the obelisk, the totems spawn WAY too fast and do WAY too much damage and monsters can spawn them totems from a ridiculous offscreen range.

How about you actually fix the game instead of this constant gaslighting.
YOU KNOW IT'S BROKEN SO FIX IT... HOW HARD IS THAT?!

How much feedback have you received regarding archnemesis monsters hitting harder than uber bosses, yet every single post you fail to mention this.
How many detailed suggestions have you received which explained exactly how to fix this have you ignored? lots.

People are now past the constant abuse we receive from this game, that's not the issue any longer. The biggest disappointment, that caused the dwindling player retention, that caused the tanked steam reviews IS THE FACT THAT YOU NO LONGER LISTEN. WE HAVE TOLD YOU COUNTLESS TIMES WHY THE GAME IN IT'S CURRENT STATE IS BROKEN AND YOU CONTINUE TO GASLIGHT US INSTEAD OF FIXING IT PROPERLY. IF ANY OF US TREATED OUR CUSTOMERS LIKE FOOLS (THE WAY YOU TREAT US), OR HAVE SUCH A NEGATIVE BACKLASH FROM OUR ACTIONS WE WOULD GET SACKED, YET YOU DOUBLE DOWN AND TRIPLE ACTING LIKE EVERYTHING IS FINE WHEN IT'S NOT... YOU NOT ONLY KILLED THE GAME BUT YOU GIVE YOUR CUSTOMERS A KICK IN THE TEETH AND IT IS SHAMEFUL.

(SOMEONE SAID THIS) --->>> The most stupid thing in all this is that we have to beta-test this league instead if playing it. (MORE LIKE ALL LEAGUES IMO)

I have been playing this game since 3.12 or so and it seems like everything you do its a one step forward, four steps back. No offense, but you guys mess up builds constantly claiming you're making it better when almost all my old builds now in standard don't work for shit. You can now add Minions to that!!


Don't you think that you need to make leagues last a little longer? half the time I am trying to work around your changes that screw up all my builds. Do you guys actually play this game? If you are playing, it totally doesn't feel like it at times.. To me it seems you are disconnected from what the players want. I love this game and miss PoE Pre 3.19 :(
