Yeah I would have expected pretty drastic changes every 2 weeks or so, they even hinted as much in the EA reveal interview where Jonathan said he expected major changes to the atlas / passive trees, and yet here we are.

I was expecting big monthly updates given them suggesting 6 months was in the realm of reality, clearly they have no idea at all

I think everyone was expecting early access to have frequent updates along with at least some risk taking. I'm of the opinion that there is no early access. This is the launch and they already settled in to a familiar league-style release schedule with an economic reset and some additional new content complete with supporter bundles. A couple times a year we'll get a new chapter or some new classes/ascendancies or both with some minor league mechanic on top. Druid + Amazon + Blight in the upcoming patch, that kind of thing. If they launch new bundles (druid and amazon themed probably) than all my remaining doubts will be washed away.

Kinda sucks tbh but I bet you're right. They see the unreleased unfinished content as more ways to milk "EA support" 😞

I had a blast playing this game over Christmas for like 3 weeks or so and then dropped it like a hot potato, been waiting on them to put any effort into the game and there has been zero. Not sure what the fuck you guys are grinding at this point but goddamn you must be on the spectrum to still be logging into this dogshit in it's current state.

Is there a way to bulk request our money back? Like if we all do it at the same time, does that increase the likelihood of them getting the fkn message?

I don't think too many people from here, at least that are in the guild, log in anymore.

I'll log on from time to time to try a new class.

I do have to agree that they don't seem to be doing very much right now.

Nobody's playing this around me either, me included.
I guess we're not alone :

I played d4 for 6 seasons so I’m obviously still playing this because I’m retarded, I’m slow and finally finishing all the end game stuff and getting the hang of the game for future seasons.

At least you guys can play. There are 2 500+ threads on the poe2 early access bug report forum where people are experiencing hard PC crashing during loading screens. Not game crashing, actual PC locking, hard-reboot required freezes. People are bricking their machines trying to play this game. It happened to me once and I thought hey maybe this is an anomaly, second time happened and that was enough for me to quit trying. It's incredible the amount of workarounds people are trying to do while using their machines as guinea pigs.

Worst part is GGG had the issue listed on their "known-issues" sticky at the top of the page, released a supposed fix during the last patch and removed it from the sticky thread. It's still happening however. Sucks, I enjoyed the game but I never got into maps so maybe I would have put it down anyways.

I think it was posted here a thing from reddit about a worker talking about how things were at GGG. You never know if it was total bullshit or not. Since they decided to stretch out the Po1 league to realse EA PoE 2 things have not really gone their way.

That sucks, I play on Xbox at home on 65 inch tv and a Rog Ally at the office or on locations when doing jobs so both pc and console and never had an issue with crashing, locking or freezing. I’d probably quit to if that shit happened to me.

I had this happen with dragons dogma 2 and they wouldn't give me a refund. Totally unacceptable.

Thought this worth pointing out.

View attachment 572618

Players motivated enough to post on reddit are still not at the endgame of PoE2. We're 2 months into early access, which is the point where PoE1 leagues are considered dead due to player dropoff.

I have no idea what proportion of the PoE2 population this represents. But, worth keeping in mind when comparing the two.
What the fuck? I haven't played since well before Christmas.

I'm not that good at video games, but apparently most people are absolutely shit.

They're fucking Aussies or whatever the fuck. They probably work 24 hours/week, like the rest of the western shit hole countries.
Definitely seems like they lost the eye of the tiger, I thought mid January + would be balls to the wall fixing shit and adding more content. Seems like they have zero urgency.

I really wish there was a way to disable the xp bar, literally the only reason I still play every day is to level up, but at 56% to 96 it is starting to slow down a ton.....

Don't have the patience or currency to stock pile breaches for faster experience, so if I'm lucky I get one or two in a decent map like once every 10-20 maps. If I even get 1.5% per map I'd be surprised, shit is super slow...and that is using T16s on basically every irradiated / corrupted icon.

Anyone have some good tips on leveling faster so I can stop torturing myself? Really don't need to hit 100 but 97 would be nice.
