Early Access Feedback - Players are not testers - Forum

This league just like 0.2 is not fun, nerfing previous builds so much and calling it "balancing", along with new and old bugs/issues, drop rates, missing map checkpoints, instant deaths (without animation) makes the game annoying. And the best example of this rude decisions is nerfing builds based on tempest bell (0.2 patch) with 10 combo requirement and then 1h after launch to bring it back to 4 in a hotfix. I tried Poe1, noty, old game, outdated graphics and way too much content to keep up with. Last bumped on Dec 18, 2025, 2:05:49 PM	Posted by Bircof132#3570 on Dec 18, 2025, 5:45:14 AM Quote this Post
In current state of the game player are testers.	Posted by de99ial#0161 on Dec 18, 2025, 6:22:40 AM Quote this Post
This game is in Early Access, we literally paid GGG to be able to test the game. GGG themselves don't seem to treat the game as early access, though, otherwise they would put out mid-league balance patches (buff underperforming things) and improve the base game, finish the campaign, polish the endgame and bring out new classes. Instead they put huge effort into league mechanics and don't have enough time to focus on the important things for the game. Plus selling seasonal MTX in an unreleased game.

By committing to an Early Access Title you are indeed Playtesting an unfinished Product voluntarily. Posting a Thread called "Players are not Testers" in a Forum called "Early Access Feedback" is wild.
