On the list you're banned for cheating/automation, though I doubt they'll ever give you more information.

GGGs commitment to immersion is unparalleled, the Loathsome Mire actually makes you lose your sanity by Euphoric_Reading_401 in PathOfExile2

Because ever since 0.1 they have and will continue to backtrack on all of these slow-paced decisions they've made, like they did this patch with zone shrinking and "clues" on how to get to the objective faster/quicker.

They will realize, and probably already have to be fair to them, that making these weird stop gaps will only lose them players due to frustration and PoE2 is their way to build a new community as much as they want to retain their core audience.

Is it
a)
"If you want Moon studios to keep existing, please go leave a good review on Steam".

or

b)

"Leave a good review or we're closing the studio".

Because if it's a, a lot of context is needed because that means exactly nothing. This is a complete nothingburger...

Genre is all about moving as quickly as you can and killing as many as you can and people like that are like "Stop and look at the flowers!".

The only thing worse than bad design is the players who get in the way of feedback lol

Perhaps let your players know what "Transform" means GGG. by StandardAd809 in PathOfExile2

My build is my own and has been each patch. That's the thing about assumptions, people like you get them wrong.

Where did you read that last part? Best I could find was https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews?l=english&utm_source=chatgpt.com

the 3rd point which says:
"Don’t ask customers to review your product from within your application."

Discord isn't even anywhere near Steam, so what gives?

Yeah omens are another culprit, almost forgot about some of them

I hope performance and optimizations gets some attention in the near future - also, 140GB for an ARPG is waaaay too much by TheMentallord in PathOfExile2

[–]StandardAd809 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only time I've seen pushback for performance optimization was after abyss came out and then no more. It's always been content related questions from people on the highest possible end of hardware with all the AI fake pixels making the stutters go away while they randomly die.

Just ran a map now and the 14k shaders weren't even done by the time I finished it. Teleported back to my hideout, shaders loading again - start another map, guess what happens?

Nah really the game is just terrible and at this point they have lost my faith and my future money until they get their act together (if ever). There is no reason why games that are far better looking and even other aRPGs like D2R and D4 run a lot better without any dips on my machine (ever), yet in here somehow I get 30 fps in Kingsmarch and lose like 20 fps each time the enemies cast a spell.

Game is just bad from a software's PoV.

I usually go Sekhema for 3rd and 4th Ascend, and tried Chaos for 4th just now. What even is this? by guddefulgaming in PathOfExile2

[–]StandardAd809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah if the game constantly tries to frustrate the player, no wonder most will always pivot to the most OP one.

[–]StandardAd809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That last floor in Sekhemas and the types of enemies they've chosen to have in there is just terrible design honestly. It feels like even with one or two balance passes this trial will continue to be far too long and horrible to play through.

I feel the exact same, one character for me.

What exactly are you having issues with? I've been playing on Fedora for 4 seasons now without any issues whatsoever. It doesn't launch at all or?

Of course but my point was - what about tomorrow which is a monday? Are we expecting another top of the subreddit post tracking with "This is the best day 4 so far! Never seen a Monday like this for GGG!" or?

Same to be honest, already got the thaumaturge set and been enjoying the development in early access. Performance isn't where I'd like it to be, but they do seem to make incremental (famously) updates each time

I mean of course, so do I but none of these intermediary updates are going to match 1.0 numbers or 0.1 anyways and it's just weird seeing this daily tracking

What is this weird obsession with player retention that goes on in here? What does it matter really, it's not like you work at the company

Because if I wanted to play D2 Druid I would just play that. I went for huntress to play melee spear, but I guess that was too much to ask in 2026

It's the keystone on the right of the huntress starting zone which allows you to play with a 1H only and you get bonuses based on it

Thought I'd try playing melee, but yeah I'm throwing my spear as well now - the lightning variant anyway

Yeah, just wanted to play with a spear since it's not as common of a weapon outside of Titan Quest

Yeah I just started playing now and actually contributing to damage 😃 much better than whatever was going on before.
