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.

PoE2 is death game right now.
This game become life time job for maniacs without life and system like in Souls games.
Crafting is the worst ever I saw...it looks like gambling.
Players literally are forced to buy materials from third web pages.
etc, etc,
List goes forever.

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.

The only comment that matters

It's the first (proper) patch, so it's obviously the worst patch, also the best patch.

This is Corpo Tie patch...ask GGG who is owner of them....

a lot of people who never tried LE before are going to be disappointed thanks to these internet personalities hyping up the game to be something it isnt

...What?

PoE 2 is vastly more popular than LE. PoE 1 streamers even often being personally incentivized to create PoE 2 content, despite them not enjoying the game due to receiving more views and therefore more money.

Conspiratorial thinking isn't required to understand Ziz's decision. Ziz, like Steel, Rue, Palsteron, Ben, Tyty, Poopbutts, Cutedog, Fub, Allie, Alk, and many, many more have varying degrees of dissatisfaction with PoE 2 in it's current state and of that list quite a few also have played LE and are more excited about LE's update than current PoE 2.

If anything, Ziz is one of the most conscientious streamers on that list, always trying to be fair and constructive, almost to a fault. Ziz isn't "stirring discontent", discontent with PoE 2 simply exists in bounty within the PoE 1 streamer community, at the same time a competing ARPG is having a major update.

Ziz will almost certainly make less money from a sponsored LE event than he would from simply persistently streaming a much more popular game.

Well, just from a stability stand point this patch has been awful for me. I went from having a crash every 3-4 hours MAYBE to every 30 minutes unless I relog.

LE patch however has been cooking for 9 months. There are new league mechanics. I dunno, some times you should reward hard work.

Two things can be true. This is the worst patch. Last Epoch is fun and I'm looking forward to trying a new league for the first time on there.

Wish I had a PC to play LE :(

I love poe2 to my core but even with the most recent patch notes it doesnt address the feeling I am a rat in a skinner box.

Going to also try LE again. Still wished it supported WASD. To the person flaming me for my opinion... go walk in a wall for me.
