Dissapointed with GGG today.

I'm watching the live stream and FINALLY they got to the subject of ONE portal and The huge XP loss. And confirmed this is thier vision of teh game, and if you happen to be in a situation where you're dying too much, just Git Gud, Your not supposed to play end game if you suck. Thats thir vision of how the game should be played and hell will freeze over before they make the game more enjoyable for non elite players.

Screw you Johnathan! Saying shit like that is going to cost your company alot of money.

GGG turned down every suggestion that was asked because it didnt fit their vision for the game. To be expected.

I just shook my head, it's like they don't play coop at all... not even a single thought on how bad this is...

More than just you plays the game. Others want it to be this way as it keeps the value of boss drops and most of the items in the game.

You're now given more chances to learn fights, this is a good change. The XP penalty has always been here since PoE 1. The company doesn't cater to the wider audience and never has either.

I just love how people act like their opinion is the same as the entire playerbase and the decisions GGG make will 'cost them a lot of money'

If you are casual coming here to complain that the game is too difficult then that's exactly "you problem", game is supposed to be challenging and no free handovers, you die you lose the map and XP, otherwise there is no incentive to make a better build and farm better items since there is no need for it.

How many times will all the new players keep on complaining about that? You don't like it, too difficult, go play D4.

You are not the target audience simple as that.

Unhappy customers leave, and dont come back. Those customers could be spending money on buying cosmetics and stash tabs. But a customer who leaves and doesnt return spends nothing.

Most game developers are no more than children with a fun job they get paid for, They have no idea how to run a business.

Game is clearly influenced by D2 classic and compared to that it is not punishing at all. Dying in high level was wasting weeks of playtime (not hours or days). That one portal can be discussed but game would need adjustments and would get harder in the end compensating the extra portals.
I like the approach and it is a niche that made GGG the company they are today. Why would they care about some new players not buying MTX if they know that this might loose them the base that supported them until this point. Cannot satisfy both sides and the worst pick of all would be to try doing that. Not saying that I like every decision they do (especially Ascendancy) but I do like that they stick to their vision.

Idk, if you think GGG have no idea how to run a business, you're out of your mind xD. but like what other says, game isn't for you. They're gonna make that bank with you in or not.

You supposed to play maps of those tiers where you do not suck. Why absolutely everyone has an idea that he should clear highest tier maps without problems? It's a PoE 1 mentality, that if the game has any challenge then it's a broken game?
