We want to hear from you

Do you really want to hear from players all over the world or are you only interested in players from NA ? Your recent “survey of s5 mechanic” opened during a workday for normal people and closed in the middle of the night for those in far off time zones. But you probably only care about NA players which is why for any game other than PoE2 i have to make do with a server 8k miles away and 200ms ping at best. For what its worth my questions, after getting rid of my salty rant, are:

  1. When are we going to be able to turn off sealed affixes for natural drops including for the new crystal mechanic because they totally mess up endgame crafting ?
  2. Assuming the answer above is never, does this mean once we have 1t7 crafts then we must assume our character is done (i.e. maybe you will get 1 or 2 x 2t7 items but it appears Mike is actively not wanting characters with full 2t7 or better gear) ?

The reason for my saltiness on this is that gear crafting is the only real endgame that exists for LE and hence the only real reason for 8k+ hours legacy players like myself to continue to grind. But when there is no realistic chance of decking out even 2 or 3 of my 30 characters in full 2t7 / 2t7+1t6 or better gear (discard anything found or crafted in s3 with the imprint system that was in place then) then you kill any long term player reason to play and hence retention. But maybe the answer is you are quickly heading towards the seasonal 2-3 week giggle and laugh half baked character then stop approach.

Well that’s all from a very salty and disillusioned 8k+ hours legacy only player.

If I had to guess, based on peaks for both PoE1/2 and LE, I’d say most players come from Europe, rather than NA.

As for your question, an easy fix would be a node in the weaver tree, probably on the right side where you turn off other stuff.

but devs of this game come from NA so they they prob dont care about anyone playing in time zones other than those in NA

good idea re your weave tree suggestion but just to be clear the player still need to be able to seal an affix for crafting purposes — it is only stopping in game drops from having sealed affixes

what i am ultimately so salty about is the game seems to be making it more and more difficult for CoF crafting focused players and moving to a PoE trading orientation. imprints are still stuck 10km underground, CoF auto proc is great but the exalt drops from them are pathetic. for example i have has 20 exalted helm procs today (i.e. 200 exalt helms) and not one of them was even a 76 let alone 77 or 776.

No, they’re all over the place. The leadership (Judd, Mike) are in NA.

if you want to provide feedback, the forum never sleeps.

the dev chats arent really for feedback. they are for asking direct questions. ie - they tell you stuff. not vice versa. if you do start monologuing, they just tell you to come here or discord.
