chenlehner: Yeah you know it’s bad when the guy who’s always stoked is sad about it.

InventSlaminate: I fucking hate having to use the trade market to upgrade. That’s an insane system to me. I want to get drops

Iolhello: Raxx releases a mostly positive video and tri releases a mostly negative video in the same day? hell froze over??? what is happening? In all seriousness though, we appreciate you tri, if you aren't feeling it, sit this league or patch out. Thanks for keeping it real

PoseidonRushEnjoyer: I feel like i’m seeing Haley’s comet

Siythawr4ith: I'm not the only one feeling like the drops are terrible

The-Pleb: Im lvl 78 and literally had to buy every single one of my greater jewelers orbs...

jarrettemerick2570: Why is GGG so obsessed with giving us 0 loot?

killercore311: A big problem is that this was suppose to be huge content patch for endgame. When you push that back to 0.5 not only does that create disappointment it inadvertently puts major emphasis on the actualy contents that were released aka the temple. If that's bad then we are literally just playing 0.3 repainted with a new class. It might as well have been 0.3.5

Middy666: I think GGG needs to extend their time between updates by a month until full release. With New Zealand’s hiring restrictions they obviously aren’t big enough with enough skilled devs to handle the time between updates for both games. Partially they’re fault for overpromising and under delivering between both games

MNWhiteMan: If Tri is expressing frustration, GGG knows they have a real problem.

addohm: "Getting 3 key fragments didn't take long enough, let's multiply that time investment by 10 and halve the rewards" - GGG

Sodamachine62: What doesn't make sense to me is the basic skills are WAY stronger than most of the skills you unlock at level 40 or 50, or any skill at that

bonntec: 100% agreed with everything you said. Absolutely having the same experience with this league. I'm at t10 maps and still using gear that I found/crafted during interludes early maps (had to buy essences from the market cause I didn't have any). No currency drops. No crafting materials drops. I have almost 2000 hours in poe2 and I don't think I'm going to push far into endgame this league. I'm pretty much done.

wowitsfrostygames155: i think long grinds to get to the pinnacle isnt a bad thing if theres at least a streamlined way to do it. arbiter and atziri suffer not because the grind is long, but because you dont even know WHEN the end of the tunnel is. Theres no road to look beneath you and say "ah, i am 'here'", it simply does not exist. Arbiter can be 10 hours or 50 hours away, and either one would be fine, but its simply not knowing and being at the mercy of RNG that cannot be influenced. In poe 1, even some of the worst RNG can be influenced. Wanna fight shaper in ssf? theres atlas nodes to make it more likely to drop guardian maps. Drop the wrong map? you can reroll it with currency or harvest. Even ruthless, known for its long grinds, has streamlined ways to get to these bosses. eater and exarch just take double the maps to drop their invitations and thats it, but you still know exactly when youll be able to fight them, and how far away you are.

POE 2, while i love the general vision for the game, and want to have a more diablo 2 type of game where things take longer and gameplay is generally slower, there still needs to be a track of sorts, or a way to influence your RNG so these things smooth out.

magicsmoke0: After the lack of rewards in PoE 1 Breach 2.0, I was expecting PoE 2 would get all the love, but nope they nerfed rewards there too.

GGG really wants players to play Ruthless league.

mr_warpy: Loving the update but my major issue is the loading times have jumped exponentially, especially when loading town zones. Trying to find a way to resolve this issue.

javanfrazier2838: Thank God, at least you brought up the horrible state of the game, the ridiculous bugs, the horrible temple experience

Aztek1891: Hit tier 11 maps or so and yep I’m out. Lasted like 3 days lol

Konrow: Mindless grinding of endgame is kinda my comfort game and looks like minion oracle will allow just that so i'm happy playing through this league. Ignoring vaal temple completely though otherwise I might quit too lol

PerfectPencil: My only complaint is that the vaal temple keeps wiping itself. I want to FILL that grid. I want to farm those bosses. Come on...

hercreborn: I felt the same way until I started a djinn sorcerer and the magic is back somehow

SkyLordPanglot: Im having fun but only because this is the first time I managed to do an adequate build myself without following a guide.

jimmyvhs: I feel like Regals are still a huge bottleneck, like why do I have 30 Exalts and only 5 Regals while going through campaign? Makes no sense

adammorra3813: It's not you Tri you described exactly how I and a lot of others feel. Thank you for being honest, raw, and sharing your very valid views. I pretty much bounced around day 3 and the funny thing is this league was the one I was looking forward to the most. GGG is taking a step back every other league. Hope 0.5 is good.

TacticalTreyyy: its funny this is the first league ive have this much luck getting items and currency

matex2207: GGG forgot to generate enough power charges to maintain players.
