As the whole Arpg world knows POE is heading to a deep grave, After devs insulted the players time. I’d be not surprised if more and more people shift their Arpg addiction to LE.
If you release Multiplayer soon, and figure out some AH or trading system the rivals POE dinosaur system. People won’t care that POE has 1000% more endgame content they will play LE because of crafting and easy to use AH/Trade. Nobody want to take a day trading the tabs, while certain MMOs have had a auto sell AH for years now.
Look how many third party apps there are for POE its crazy that GGG makes so much money but doesn’t improve their trading system. There’s a logic if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. POE2 might have a same third party time sucking trading nonsense I hope you Dev’s learn from GGG mistake and keep delivering a solid Arpg that could possably trump all other.
What to do… Your loot filter is amazing and built in. I argue that you should have a built in Planner and Trading/AH. Look at any Arpg see what third party tool the have, and take those concepts and built it into the basegame. “example” POE has a thirdparty tool that automatically check the price on Trade, this could be built in but never will. This is what you can strive for.
Sorry to cry about GGG on your forum but I want a new Arpg that fills the void that they just might not be able to offer anymore. It’s capitalism 101, one person fails and another succeeds, best of luck hope to see new patch note ASAP (I’m bored AF)
This post is written like there’s some “Implement Multiplayer” button they can just click at any time. If EHG were the type of team to rush incomplete features out the door without adequate testing and iteration, their name would be GGG instead.
LE does not need to try to capitalize on POE’s current unpopularity (which will inevitably rebound, just like it always does) in an extremely short-sighted strategy. The game stands on its own already.
This exactly! While I get the idea that many people have like “seize the moment”, its proposing the exact behaviour they criticise with GGG.
There’s nothing to win by rushing out stuff and risk a bad reputation, just because GGG messed up a league.
The first moment PoE reverts the changes, people will instantly go back. And if they don’t revert it, the game will remain as “bad” as it is.
No offense here, @Beelzebul, but this is not a good advice. If LE would be a crappy game without much potential, thiswould be a good move to make some money. But since this game has a lot of potential, this kind of moves won’t pay of long term.
This is, however, what EHG seems to be doing, albeit in a different way. They don’t seem to be cutting corners on core features like MP, but from the way Mike has been talking about the process on the dev stream, it’s something like ‘identify the things that absolutely must be in by 1.0 and prioritize them, everything else can wait’. To me, this seems like the right approach, and a good balance between trying to make sure everything is perfect and trying to capitalize on market conditions (which also includes the releases of D4 and PoE2).
Yip… its juggling act between getting the product out of the door into a receptive market vs including all the bells and whistles that everyone wants…
that said, Mike did mention in a roundabout way on discord that they have a plan in place for 0.9 and 1.0 and PoEs troubles cant really impact too much on it.
