0.4.0c Hotfix 14

I don’t see any point in playing this league anymore. Some people are still grinding the Temple just because they managed to set it up in time, while they’ve completely killed crafting. Running maps for a single Divine while others exploit the Temple feels like a lack of self-respect. It’s time to stop buying supporter packs. Honestly, there’s no point in starting a new league anymore. GGG’s mindset might only change when people stop showing up and spending money. Right now, they don't care about us; all they care about is the revenue at launch. A week later, they couldn't care less about the player count or our satisfaction.
Mark my words: skip the next league and don't buy any packs, no matter how good they look. Otherwise, the devs will keep ignoring us while waiting for our money. 600 pages of negative feedback with zero reaction should have made their stance clear. Since it’s not the first few days of the launch, they aren't fixing anything because the peak sales window has passed. No sales means no incentive to act. They can just brush off the players and wait for us to bring them money at the start of the next season.
Have you considered the feelings of players who are just starting to build, or those who have lost their progress and need to rebuild? Have you tried starting over and building yourselves? (Sorry, my English isn't very good. I used a translation tool, but you should understand what I mean)

Hum they nerfing lock because of "the russian tech" but why didnt they just add more medallion slot ? This is the best compromise maybee 8 or 10 so we can stack more rooms, +1 lvl and lock and keep building our temple without using this exploit.


Who cares about the Russian tech? It wad a pain to build anyway and spymasters are currently only good for locks. Don't come with a horrible workaround to an awful patch. Just let us lock tier 1 as we did and keep nerfs to loot.
A total masterpiece of a game, but run by the most useless bunch ever — I’d be so gutted if I was one of the devs.

Just super sad. I lost my job recently, and the only thing I had to look forward to was finishing my temple. I hadn't even finished 40% of it. Now that I'm unemployed, the one positive thing in my mind was that I could finally focus on my progress. I even asked my wife to take the kids out yesterday just so I could grind, only to discover you guys made me unable to move forward with the temple and removed the loot.

Instead of getting a few Divines per run, I’m getting barely any Exalts while the chain I worked so hard on is slowly being stripped away. I’m stuck; I can’t progress and there are no drops. You need to understand there are real humans behind these characters. When you hotfix something like this mid-league, you impact the lives of people who put everything into this game. I’m not lying about any of this.

This was such a blow that it actually triggered my old drug addictions, and now my wife is very disappointed in me. I know it’s my fault, but this change was the trigger. It’s just sad that after 5 years of playing, this is how I’m treated when something finally goes right.

In previous patches of poe 1/2, you never did major nerfs like this during a season. That’s why I decided to invest all my spare time into it. I’ve been bitten by the very snake I built, and I won't be able to recover. This is the last time I’m playing POE 1 or POE 2. After seeing 30% of my hard work destroyed, I’m done (lost too many rooms due to being unable to keep any tier 3 on my temple till almost the beginning of the snake)

Just remember: we are humans, not numbers on a screen. You can't just "hotfix" away dozens of hours of someone's life. It’s super disrespectful. I thought you were better than this. I’ll be changing my review to negative and uninstalling both games. I won't be giving you any more money because this is a huge sign of disrespect to the players.

Come on, man. Although GGG's changes this time are really puzzling, I even question whether this is a decision that a normal person should make. But it has nothing to do with your life.This is a game, a tool to kill time, and it is not worth putting more emotion into. Focus on your life. Your family must want their husband or father to be a tough man. Instead of being easily knocked down by a small game patch.
This "hotfix" is so hot!!! Everyone feel the heat and pain from him ! :D
Building the temple was keeping me interested in the league, but since the patch I don't feel really invested into the the game anymore. This was a nice chase mechanism that keep you involved by setting up a goal you are trying to achieve.
I take it all back, temples are super easy now.
how do we punish GGG? [Removed by Support] its depressing like why not do what you should do instead of your ego crap. LET US BUILD TEMPLES. You cant just have a few people with massive temples and steal access for the rest of the playerbase wtf is wrong with you guys

What a shitshow.

First on this league, removed Omen of Homogenising Exaltation cause "too deterministic".

Second this "Holten Exploit" and exploiters had the fun of getting all currencies to build their items and sell those items making them more rich.

Third this Hotfix - when finally people have the avenue to farm and get rewards to fund crafting or purchase items from the market. Finally a chance or glimmer of hope to actually farm and progress.


Lastly, 350+ pages in less than a day without any word from anyone.


I understand this is early access, and I signed up for early access which means there will definitely be changes bugs and all that, but this ain't a bug. What's buggy is how GGG thinks when tweaking things like these.

I believe, players want rewards, want to craft something for themselves and reward themselves going from noob to wiping out maps and bosses. Mapping ain't gonna do that, at least in less 100 hours. I played a good chunk of hours every season and have not dropped a mirror or even 200+ divines (as loot) as a casual player.

It's not be like D4 where everything is handed out in a platter, it's about balance of effort = rewards.

But I'm just a noob, so I rest my case and move on from this game.
