Path of Exile 2

Yeah im kinda thinking they should just leave it be at this point. I mean so many people spent some mad hours setting this shit up and left them with a bad taste in their mouth. Fix the shit after the league. I mean, the inflation is already here, people that want to catch up cant now, its just fucked from both ways.

If they wanted to patch this they should have caught it in the beginning and crushed it. Now? A few weeks after, and even after they buffed it some more? Yeah, this shit kinda whack.

In a league where FOMO was riding tall in the saddle and many players felt like the economy was passing them by seeing GGG pull the ladder up after the professionals made all their money is going to be one tough pill to swallow. The changes to temple construction took a lot of people's hard work and threw it in the dumpster. Even if they adjust temple construction again in the next few days anyone that did something other than let their temple sit in hopes of said changes is going to be furious. Again.

For me this is the first time I think a league mechanic really got away from GGG. What does a fully constructed temple look like, how long does it take, what amount of RNG is involved, what ways can the rules regarding room placement be bent, etc. If they weren't juggling two games with a holiday on top this might not have happened but here we are.

Well its all rush rush rush with managing 2 games now so im sure you will see more shit like this in the future. And Christmas/NY break didnt help either. Its just a bad time to drop a league and then go absent for 2-3 weeks. Im sure if they were all in the office seeing shit play out in real time, they could have adjusted shit right there and then when it was just starting to get out of hand but you and I know in a game like this 2-3 weeks is a fucking lifetime when shit like this exists. Plus it does not help that Chris Wolcen is gone. He used to be the economy guy. I remember his 1000 word theory dissertations back years ago whenever they made a change to something in the econ of the game. You also saw this in the last POE1 league. You can also argue that that league got out of hand with drops and shit, even early on people were scoring t1 6links still in campaign. I mean you THINK you want the game like this but you really dont. And the drop off of the last POE1 league really showcased this. I think they are just letting these games get out of hand now with wolcen gone.

So now they go and nerf shit and best of all it was a poorly thought out nerf that basically effected all the up and comers, not the ones that were raking in thousands of divines the past 2 weeks. Yeah they got the nerf too in drop rates but their already built up Temples are still dropping 50-70 div each. Like WTF?

This is why you just let shit go. Its too late. The damage is already done so who cares? Whats done is done. Shit league on to the next, lessons learned. This is why they have leagues to begin with. Wipe in 2 months with a clean slate. Instead they just angered the entire player base with not so well thought out changes. And the first thing they will have to do coming back from a well deserved break is damage control.
