0.2.0g Patch Notes (deployed)

damn, patch took to long, now I have to please my gf

So much for no mid-league build-changing nerfs, to things that dont effect server stability.

just label a nerf a "bug fix" and i guess that is fine eh?

Speaking about beiras anguish obviously. Wasnt breaking the game. People invested time and currency into it, and now you majorly change the functionality in the middle of a league.

No respect for peoples time.

f.o.

who was the QA of this patch? ^^ revert revert

I just wish people would think a little. Its a great game, it is early access... they care about it because they like it.

And yet reviews on Steam have reached "Mostly Negative" because of impatient twits.

Okay, I get you've got a grievance with issue "xxx", along with 100-1000+ hours played... but when you jump on the bandwagon and start doing things like that, here's what happens...

> Less people buy game due to poor user reviews
> Clickbait news articles start spamming "POE 2 gets Mostly Negative!! OMG"
> Viewbait streamers go "OMG this is so bad xxxx" (but know the views are there for a game with so many active players, so clickbait...)
> GGG is pressured by leadership, investors and managers to immediately turn all this around, because it is terrible and they want to protect their bonuses/share options

And what some people think is that means their own personal little issue will get fixed faster, what it actually means is the hundreds of hours that have gone into development and project plans get thrown out the window, management has to sit in meetings constantly re-planning, the devs get dispririted because people "hate" their game and management keeps changing their priorities...

So - complain a lot, review-bomb the game...

And slow down the actual development and progress.

Or... shock-horror... provide constructive criticism on the forums with feedback on the issues encountered and engage with the development team in a more positive way, rather than doing the equivalent of walking into a mcdonalds, getting pickle on your burger, and then screaming for the manager because the entire staff is incompetent and you demand a refund and damages.

Do you test your patches before dishing them out to the masses? How do you send out a patch that breaks a very needed part of the game? I work in game development and I guarantee our studio would never release a patch that was not ready. We test EVERY patch extensively before it is released.

In game development but can't conceive of unforeseen interactions and bugs that may not show themselves until patch is deployed and live. Right. Instead of seeing they immediately responded and began working on the issue you bitched while proclaiming your competency in the industry. I call bullshit.

ARPG's are meant to be fast paced, fun, loot filled, GOD MODE games. If I wanted a stupid boring long grind I would play WOW or any other generic boring long grind MMO.
You have lost the fun behind an ARPG!

Meant to? Bro did you play D1 back in the day? Hell, D2? This game is a hell of a lot faster than whatever golden standard you're comparing it to. You're projecting what YOU want in a genre and saying that's what is necessary and expected. This whole post is a whiny joke. Talking all this shit when the reason you're mad in the first place is you can't play the game you're actively shitting on. Come on man...

you'd understand it if you're in software development industry. there needs to be a few checkpoints in order to deploy something. you can think losing skill gems allocated in your skill tabs is like losing money deposited in one of your bank accounts.

it's something that should never happen and has an easy way to automate testing on a test user/character.

it's ok for you to like ggg but it's not ok to dismiss the opinions that follow logic correctly.

When does the server go live?

I don't think you realize who you're picking a fight with here man...Sure this is Mikes first ARPG, but he has been working as a janitor in the MMO industry for over thirty years, AND he knows what big words like semantics mean. I'd back off, man.

it's early access.

go out and touch grass.

We are trying to fix a major BUG where there are still a large number of players in the game.

Please provide an update on the current situation at least every 30 minutes for the people who are waiting.
