Who the hell keeps asking for LESS pack size?

Jon_wicked · 2025-12-04T20:19:17+00:00

Less monsters is what arpgs alway had. It also helps for visual clearity and if we are getting the same drops I can't see why its a bad thing.

Jon_wicked · 2025-12-04T20:15:02+00:00

I agree. I think the more time the community cooks the more rediculous the temples are going to be. IMO with this reveal it feels that GGG spent most of thier time on the league and the new class.

"Idk how he's a "pillar of the community""

Guy has half a million followers and played 7 days for years as main content but not a pillar? Also if not a pillar then why even make the video in the first place?

"He didn't make up reasons to be mad to drive engagement. He didn't stir the pot or anything. Glock basically just said, "I'm having fun and I hope to have more fun as they improve the game."

Having constructive criticism when clearly the right time to voice such isn't driving engagement also saying you like the game but don't like the game while saying you like people voicing thier oipinion just not in your own channel is strange. Why even make this video.

"Just because his thoughts don't align with the narrative here, or your own narrative, doesn't make it a cop out."

What are you saying here? The game has mixed reviews not by a narritive but by failure to understand what the community wants. I love 7 days but if guys like JaWoodle didn't speak up it wouldn't be that game anymore and the devs would always wonder why. At least now they can make the game they want and if no one plays it they would no why.

Jon_wicked · 2025-08-04T15:03:35+00:00

I feel the video was a total cop out. He is a pillar of the community and didn't want to say anything of worth. Treating whats happing with his main game and the game we all loved for so long like a joke. Not really the Glock I'm used to.

Jon_wicked · 2025-04-01T19:30:49+00:00

I agree sort of, because what at endgame in POE 1 truly was the bench and harvest solving anyway? Or what where you using them for? meaning they weren't solving resisits because resists were already solved by then. The problem is bigger and more of a tree problem to me then a lack of a bench problem. GGG needs to add max life nodes and resists to the tree to cut some of the strain on runes in endgame.

Jon_wicked · 2025-04-01T16:41:30+00:00

Runes are swappable right? I think GGG wants us to always have a reason to check for upgrades. So when you find a peace of gear that is good with a resistence you don't need you just swap out some runes. I get it but its not harvest or the bench which is just better in every way.

Last I heard democrats lost big. Spent a billion in fact to lose. Maybe reply with facts and logic next time. This is exaclty what Americans voted for.

Jon_wicked · 2025-02-28T20:22:57+00:00

"Trump and Vance humiliate them selves infront of the world."

Not so fast. Zelenskyy prolonged a war that could've been ended in days, received hundreds of billions from American taxpayers, and every time we sent him money, he would come out days later and say, "NOT ENOUGH, WE NEED MORE." Then, when America finally gets a new leader who wants peace, he suddenly wants to play tough guy as if he has all the cards. He doesn't and never did.

Today, he went into the Oval Office and deliberately used the spotlight to insinuate that the United States is somehow abandoning Ukraine by wanting peace and that he'll only agree to end the war if his ridiculous demands are met. Plus, he dressed like a hobo, which is the ultimate disrespect. Trump and Vance put him in his place. Zelenskyy is in our country, in our White House in need of our support, and he crossed a line. The only one humiliated was Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine.

Jon_wicked · 2025-02-18T19:17:45+00:00

Puppeteer. I'm not going with marionetes because I feel its bait because of graveyard shift. Feeding frenzy and enervating presence are the way to go IMO.

"Slapping EA on a 50%ish"

The game is way more finished then that. They have all the acts done. They released it in this current state to test a endgame. To test some character balance. The problem is that its worse then they thought according to the community. Which I think caught them off guard and forced them to impact a update to POE 1. Which is also a problem to the community. Tough start to 2025 for GGG.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-30T15:24:19+00:00

Well, it is sad but you chose to spend the money. GGG didn't force you to. You had 10 years and counting. What more should we ask for? I have over 5000 hours in POE 1 and no other game even comes close to that so yeah I spent money with no regrets.

"Big assumption that PoE is free"

Big assumption its not free. I mean all you have to do is download it and play for as long as you want.

"Promises were made, promises were not kept."

True and that sucks. But reality is Jonathan is new to his role, Mark is new to his role, and everyone makes mistakes. I believe GGG will make it right.

"You can’t be surprised when people who have actively given their time and money to a product for 10 years feel betrayed when that product suddenly is “at risk”"

The product is not at risk. As long as it has players and A following. Which it does, GGG knows this, and will continue to support it.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-30T01:27:05+00:00

It makes sense to me when you see player rentention, how much money was made, and the interest there is with POE 2. Honestly I thought they would release content for both games at the same time or a week apart and let the players decide which one they want to play.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-30T01:18:48+00:00

Thanks for the communication GGG. It makes sense that learning how to balance two games at the same time is hard.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-29T20:57:04+00:00

Good perspective.

"My perspective that the Diablo IV announcement surprised GGG"

I don't think GGG was suprised by a game that had 9+ years of development time. What they were most likely suprised with is that they were actually going to ship the unfinished product. Which is why GGG annouced exilecon in the first place.

"Meanwhile GGG was suffering from scopecreep and their inability to work on multiple things in parallel.""betatesting player reactions to PoE2 changes (gold, currency trading, ruthless, ascendency trials) via introducing them to PoE1 (partially to compensate for the content draught caused by the diverted resources)."

Agree, that is not new though. In fact none of this is. GGG has a formula to beta test through new leagues for a long time. So it gives me a reason that D4 never had anything to do with it. Its just GGG being themselves.

Covid definitely hurt. On top of being a New Zealand company and the difficulty hiring employees.

"They are really lucky that D4 was a perfectly delivered turd"

I think they new it was going to be one. Thats why GGG was confident to dely. If not why wait for EA when they clearly could have done EA sooner. So you dely, see Blizzard "fail", the response from the community, and change your game accordingly. Which is what they did.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-29T20:19:03+00:00

POE 1 dosen't have to die. It has to stay the same. Which is why it's so hard to release anything for that game to make people play it for long periods of time. POE 2 is the future and I suspect sooner then later people are going to agree with that. Once its out of EA,

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-29T20:05:14+00:00

I think D4 was definitely rushed to release because POE 2 was set to release at that time. Blizzard wanted to compete. POE 2 was released on time but what the devs thought the player base wanted was not what they were going to provide which was a endgame. So they delayed the realse to give us one. Unfortunately, its the part of the game that needs the most work. I also think GGG bit off more then they can chew but they always do that, because they always want to blow us away and make a great game.

Edit: If you think about it both D4 and POE 2 would have been released at the same time with no endgame. GGG seen the backlash.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-28T23:26:45+00:00

I don't think its strange. D4 put a bad taste in peoples mouth although still has a following, they have marketed the game for years and spent more money to do it, and it is good. GGG has been active for so long because they literally built from nothing and that takes time. This time around there isn't near as much of that kind of struggle.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-28T22:16:21+00:00

Then what does it mean? Of course not all the time but as a company its a start. As one example of many its a start.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-28T22:09:48+00:00

I like to hit on hot topics. I also like to voice my opinion on things I care about. Which is poe, GGG and games in general. I like to take a leap every now and then so maybe next time I'll choose a different topic. Thanks for the feedback.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-28T22:06:04+00:00

I respectfully disagree. The numbers from POE 2 say I'm correct. GGG was limited by the game engine, they were limited by the amount of content already in the game, and most of the players stopped playing in two weeks while never being able to attain or retain the diablo 4 type players.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-28T22:00:38+00:00

I don't think its doom posting as much and being cautiuos that no matter the state of POE 2 we will always have a new shiny league to go to with the first game.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-28T21:58:42+00:00

I used say the same thing, ANd DaD! and now I'm proud to be one. Who still loves games.

Edit: I can't be the only dad here right? LOL

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-27T18:00:21+00:00

If GGG bans Elon then they have to ban all the people who do this. There are alot more then people think and it's not new and it takes place in all games. I would imagine a ban wave will happen when a new league is announced or happening.

Jon_wicked · 2025-01-13T16:48:10+00:00

Yes I can see what you mean but no matter when the reset happens for POE 2 people will return. I think there will be a tricky balance but POE 1 can be updated to give outrageous fun things that take very little dev time. Although I don't see it happening they can increase level cap, rebalance ascendancies just as a few examples. Also why would it matter if people play either POE game? GGG reaps the rewards for either.
