        By not trying to become a lifestyle. Baal grinding was a choice a handful of autists made, but for the vast majority of players Diablo 2 was a game that simply had an ending.
        PoE went all in for Baal grinder audience. They made endgame far more varied, but the endgame grind became th actual game that they expect you to play forever.

          AN was a failed fricking project from the get go. It was supposed to convey more information than the previous system at a glance while providing "cooler" interactions between mods... the reality? Mods were hidden to the point that you had to use external websites to figure out what they do, each AN mod had up to 4 effects, each AN monster could have up to 6 (i think) mods... yea good luck trying to balance a rare mob with 24 mods that are mostly multiplicative.
          If you never had problems with AN you eithe rplayed the HC mode of PoE aka running blue maps only with your finger on the logout button, or you quit 3 days into the league.

His idea was "item that grows with your level" GGG turned him down on that because its not what they want in the game. The same league they literally introduced an item that does that.

        some autist cracked the code for timeless israeliteels, meaning if you dropped one you could spam it with divine orbs that were usually worth around 10-15c until you got one with god rolls for your build. so BFR decided he would completely upend the entire economy so that exalted orbs (the tattoo) which were ordinarily worth maybe 200c give or take were now about the value of divine orb and divines became rare as frick without any guaranteed way to farm for them
        of course the shifty c**ts tipped off their friends so they could convert all their exalts to divines ahead of time in standard league

        This isn't true by the way. It's a literal schizo conspiracy. The devs explained their reasoning for the divine and exalted orb change and it had nothing to do with timeless israeliteeles getting cracked.

          Sure, they said that, but the only use for Divines was totally solved with the timeless israeliteel "cracked" open, so its a great coincidence that they give Divine a great importance on crafting gear so people dont spam divines on timeless israeliteel till they get the perfect one.

              ... er... no? The economy is made by the players, the timeless israeliteel would need dev times to re-scramble the passives and would be discovered quickly, it would actually need a "remake" on how they work to have and I think it would be discovered faster than before.
              The Divines and Exalted already have the same drop rate, they only changed the crafting table to Divine, way easier than having to change anything involving the timeless israeliteel.

                >The economy is made by the players,
                only to a certain degree. the baseline economy is relative to the average time it takes to farm x, where x is usually a divine/exalt equivalent (such as a divination card that awards these things). everything past that, such as the chaos to divine ratio, is based on various sinks for these currencies and affected slightly by fluctuations in supply and demand (which includes things like the drop tier of a unique, new meta builds being discovered that might explode certain items into popularity, the time of league and subsequent number of players who will bulk buy certain things, etc)

                "the players" can't suddenly arbitrarily decide that certain currency with a known drop rate is worth more than these other also-known factors dictate. GGG dictates the drop rates and ultimately the economy as a result.

          the conspiracy theory literally makes no sense if you actually play the game either. the market is now flooded with thousands of extremely well rolled timeless israeliteels all 1-2 div, something you'd never ever get spamming your own with hundreds of 10c divines. even if the there was no change in ex/div the only people who would divine timeless israeliteels would be SSFtards because it would literally be pointless for profit or to get one you want.
          you'd have to be moronic or not play the game to think they changed it because the timeless israeliteel calculator.

            Kek, if the timeless israeliteel is actually well rolled its not worth 1-2 div, you are actually bullshiting, if the timeless israeliteel has 1 or 2 good passives its worth 1 div, if is perfect for one type of popular build it can go for more than 1-2 mirrors.

              completely wrong. you can literally get things like 3x double damage 3x %attribute or aura effect, basically anything you want for a divine. people crank out timeless israeliteels so fast there is not point price checking them all they literally put them in dump tabs based on the keystone.
              thank you for proving my point that people who believe the conspiracy theory about it have no clue what they're talking about and don't play the game.

              Nah I've gotten multiple really good ones for less than 3 div. Unless it's for a hyper meta build they're pretty cheap. The number of people willing to go through the hassle of looking up timeless israeliteels and playing a specific off-meta build is very small.

        Yeah, torchlight especially is kind of plodding the whole way through.

    Bloat.
    I came to them because they were better than Blizzard, not tied or weighed down the same way they were.
    They eventually just became Blizzard 2.0, they aren't really quite as bad but they suffer from a lot of similar problems and it's really sad how that happened.
    I wish PoE 2 were actually just a new game from the ground up, I think there's too much to fix in PoE to just slowly patch it back into shape.
    The changes you'd have to make are just too widespread, maybe I'm wrong.
    Nothing short of PoE 2.0 wills save them, and even that is kind of a question for me, a longtime fan of PoE.

              Chris wanted the autist audience back then. Then he switched over to catering exclusively to the neets, streamer homosexuals and waking wallets. The game was a fun pastime activity, that turned into a task driven click heavy hellhole, that adds nothing but distraction with each update, and dragging it out with mundane bullshit, calling clocking in hours skill and other shenanigans so disfigured homosexuals can call themselves hardcore.
              I will doom post the living crap out of this game. I will make it my obsession to make every homosexual hate the game and stop spending money. Not only that, but I will infiltrate all communities, spread misinformation and tell them that random games are just like poe but better.

          It's difficult to try and make sweeping changes that overhaul several years of design decisions in just one or two targeted seasonal patches, you knock balance issue off and you'll create five more because you forgot to change the three or four things that were balanced around that thing that sucked that you just changed, so now it somehow sucks more.
          I'm not going to touch the thing till it seems like it's practically a new game, 2.0 seems as good a time as any to view as their assurance that they're actually done doing the job, even then I'm not sure they can really pull it off this way.

    Their balance decisions are fricking moronic, but I was generally able to find a playstyle I liked, even if the thing I had been enjoying for several leagues got lobotomized. I really did love summoner gameplay, and I tolerated it, even prior to persistent specters.
    But the way they sold their baby to Chinese overlords is just so disgusting that it poisoned my enjoyment of the game - their blood, sweat, and tears spent making a spiritual successor to Diablo 2 no longer belonged to them, they were just employees; as unlikely as it was Tencent would ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL over the game, it's still the principle of making yourself vulnerable to that scenario, that makes me want to puke - I can't even begin to fathom surrendering control of something you clearly put your soul into like that.

              what you're proposing is "smart loot", which defeats the purpose of an ARPG loot system and economy in the first place. you may as well just be playing a game without actual loot at all, like diablo 3.

                No, what I'm proposing is less completely worthless items like white items, and perhaps a loot system that has more gameplay changing elements and utility than power and mandatory equips that just scale up to make 90% of everything worthless.
                Not having a screen full of worthless visual clutter is a good bare minimum, you shouldn't have to basically mod the game to have your screen not look like ass cancer, there's a lot of totally worthless shit that can just be removed from the game past a certain point.
                Hell, for those who actually get lots of currency, the amount of things they'd consider totally worthless waste of time drops is probably even larger, this is also a problem, why band aid it if you know that it's a problem and can actually try to fix it?

          I think this is one of the biggest flaws with PoE, it's still like this, and likely will always be this kind of solved loot treadmill that people just rush through to get to the end and farm currency.
          I miss the content itself actually mattering and everything feeling like an adventure, I miss people not having the game totally solved, I miss the focus being on hc and progressing to endgame and how much you could get done there instead of being how many times you can farm the highest tier maps so you can farm the highest tier maps some more.
          I know you weren't there then, I know you don't value that, I know you have no idea what I'm talking about and will say the game was never like that, but I miss when the game was like that, even if it came with a ton of bullshit on the side that we no longer have.

            Hard mode kind of brings this back but it still has a tonne of the new systems that destroy the overall feel and many of the enemies are still tuned to the expectation of you having a perfectly minmaxed character.

              It does feel like a step in the right direction, if other systems were working well it might be a good option for that.

    i played it for the first time with my buddy who also hadn't played, and it was p fun.
    when i hit max level, i posted some 6 slotted multi-color chest piece in chat and was asking whether it was better than some 5 slotted chest piece with stats, and a guy asked me what spec i was playing.
    it was some sort of ice witch that i found a guide for, and the guy was playing the same one. he invited me to his world and said that he was done with the season and gave me his gear.
    i don't even know how to describe how expensive it was. all of it was like, a couple of rolls from BIS everything. so i put it on and fricking obliterated maps for the next few days, instakilling everything and cruising at max speed.
    and at that point, i'd seen everything the game had to offer. i was playing with monopoly money, and every other season would be the same thing, to reach the same point. it is a waste of time. i put the game down and have no desire to return.

    Because its developers are fricking incompetent and seem to have only accidentally made a good game, which is now getting worse every patch.

    They have NO FRICKING idea what they're doing, as evidenced by the balance manifesto before the Sanctum update where they wrote a whole blog telling us:
    >we're going to nerf altar rewards and buff maven rewards
    what was the result of those updates?
    >altars became more rewarding than EVER IN THE GAME'S HISTORY
    >maven rewards became worse than before and nobody touches it

    That is just one example of how shit the developer is. If I were that bad at my job I'd be fricking ashamed of myself.
    The recent Sanctum league was praised by morons for having one of the worst roguelike modes you've ever seen in a game. Every update nerfs the game more and reduces build variety for no gain. Every update increases the amount of grinding required for nothing. Trading is an absolute shit experience and is required for most builds. The developer is dead set against QOL improvements and they WANT trading to be a hair pulling experience that requires you to have a web browser open on a 2nd monitor and a 3rd party addon installed to, and even with those it's worse than any other game you've seen since 1998.
    95% of skills in the game are unplayable because they refuse to make balance passes in a non-competitive game. It's a game that's all about character builds where the dev seems to want as few viable builds as possible.

    Oh and don't hold out hope for PoE2, it's most likely going to be shit since it won't be a fresh new game, but instead it will inherit everything from PoE1 and likely will be a bloated mess.
    Your choice for an ARPG will be Diablo 4 (probably heavily pay 2 win but at least the gameplay will be fun) and PoE 2 whose only saving grace is only being slightly pay 2 win.

    >Delirium mirror! World turns gray and weird shit starts happening for some reason
    >Explosive mining! Set some bombs to dig up artifacts while 6 different weird ass NPCs tell you weird shit and each offer some different weird menu
    >Heist! Go rob some fricking manor or something by teleporting there while some more weird NPCs yell quips at you. Also you have to keep doing their mandatory quests if you pick up their quest item in maps by accident
    >Incursion! Teleport back in time into some atziri temple or something because a weird NPC told you to??? Don't even know got filtered by it immediately
    >Syndicate! Literally some wanted poster with some crime network thing comes up out of nowhere, you're supposed to capture / interrogate 200 more weird NPCs for some reason
    >Blight! Now we're doing tower defense of mushrooms I guess
    >Sanctum! Go inside these random magic balls and clear rooms full of enemies because why not I guess?

    i like the idea of temp leagues putting one of these things in at a time to keep it fresh for the old whales, but my god they've shoved so much garbage into this game that it's bursting at the seams with content bloat.

    other problems like trade and grindiness are there, we all know it, but the above is what really ticked me off. They need to move on to a new game already and stop casting Raise Zombie on this husk.

          That was the first time they did Endless Delve. I guess the second spike is from people who played that and decided to stick around for a second lootbox.

          WoW Classic didn't even really impact it. That red line is Blight, which was heavily canned at the time for being boring and annoying and was just after Legion, which was heralded as a great League because of how overpowered updated Cyclone + Slayer was. Literally brain-off turbozoom gameplay. Which as we all know, got violently nerfed after that and wasn't very good for Blight anyway.

          If it was just the league being shit then it would've started high and dropped off hard. Even after the patch notes for Expedition (second lowest line) where they announced nerfs to absolutely fricking everything before releasing the patch, there were still plenty of players on launch day.

            It didn't impact it.
            Blight was almost unplayable on launch because of horrible performance issues and the mechanic bugging out constantly.

              i know what blight was like at launch. just about every poe launch was like that back then. it absolutely impacted the numbers and the proof is that BFR was so spooked by the drop off that he postponed the Ritual launch to dodge Cyberpunk release (lmao). You don’t have a clue what you’re on about

    Meta is stale. Game needs a large list of buffs and nerfs.
    Removing Archnem was a great step in the right direction at least.

    >Why did you stop playing Path of Exile?
    I'm just not autistic enough. It'd be cool to have a ramp up for a casual, as it is right now it's like fricking crash landing on another planet. 50 different languages, 240 currencies and resources and everything is upside down. It's a shit experience. But if they want to just appeal to the Hardautist then they need to not give a shit when their playerbase dwindles.

    but oddly the user spamming walls of text about current politics with no bearing on the game at all who oddly had the same username as the forum mod who denied my appeal had been going for over an hour despite multiple people in chat reporting him for spamming and flaming
    very strange

      They went full dystopian ruler on the chat. Typing anything can grant you a ban today.

        This happened right after tencent bought them, so I assumed they'd brought in new moderators who just banned based on whoever bothered them.
        The political rant was about taiwan not being real, which really activated my almonds.

      how much money have you spent on the game?
      I have paid in about 1000 bucks and I pretty much have no censor. Sometimes I get chat banned for calling someone a gay for 24 hours.

    I stopped playing right before delve release because they were going to add a literal gacha stamina bar in that league and it looked horrendous for hardcore (only played hardcore as softcore is a literal cookie clicker mode). But those was just the last straws, I was already getting very irritated with their balance strategy being primarily for money instead of player fun. That said, frick "balance" in a game where the only "competitive" part is how much shit you can put on a website auction house in a particular timeframe.

      endless delve was the last time I had fun in this game
      ever since redditors shat on the best league they ever did (synthesis) the game has been pure shit

        Imagine what a clusterfrick that would've been if the chinks hadn't datamined all the recipes. I don't know how 3xG expected anyone to figure that shit out on their own.

    Because when I tried to play it for the first time I was apparently 6 seasons behind. I really don't have the time for an 80 hour a week job on top of my real 40 hour a week job.

    Games should not be Jobs.

      Who gives a shit? You can barely see your character anyways
      Also stop playing builds that need a high amount of investment on league start

    because they went from "skill gems provide a base and support gems alter the skills " to "pack everything in the skill gems and support gems just boost damage in some way"
    for instance Spectral Helix could just be a "Helix" support and if you link it with Spectral Throw it will make it behave like Spectral Helix, and you can link it with all the other projectile skills to make them spin around you. Imagine Ball Lightning Helix
    The game just become more and more like other typical arpg where you have to play it as "intended" as the devs think, instead of doing weird shit and having fun
