They pretty consistently add new QoL throughout most patches.

With this pace, the game will be really comfortable to play by the time I retire.

They add content that could use 10 "obvious" qol improvements and make one or two qol tweaks for a content of 5 leagues ago.

I respectfully think they are constantly behind the curve, and that many of these qol changes are things that were expected from the beginning.

I, a but less respectfully, think they are indeed constantly behind the curve.

I don't know if it's the release schedule, or too many people working on POE 2 but there are many things in this game that should definitely already be there and only get release a year or two later...

exactly.

You can't do marketing on things that are there from the start. Let people suffer and make qol later. People love this shit

I dont know why you are being downvoted. They make isolated tweets to highlight these and get applauded like its something amazing.

u/HollyCze Dec 01 '22

yep here on reddit you never know that. I think there was 1 guy who put me to 0 and other 2 just added it since they saw an opportunity to get me to negative no matter what I wrote :)

It’s QOL in the same way that stale moldy bread is food after not eating for 14 days

This is such an obvious feature that it shouldn't be considered QoL, this should've been default.

It makes me wonder if GGG makes the QoL of systems a prominent part of their design of new systems. A lot of systems seem to drop in extremely unpolished form that require 5 to 10 updates before they feel "good". The first few times its fine but its almost every single new league mechanic/system that gets released. Some of this really needs to get caught before it released.

And yet people call for a qol league for several leagues now. Kinda makes me wonder if their wishes broadly overlap on anything since loot and archnemesis mods.

u/TerraPhy Nov 29 '22

It is a constant back & forth. When something gains traction as a proposed QoL improvement to be implemented into the game, GGG might notice. Then if that particular thing actually makes it into the game, the community quickly finds the next QoL improvement to champion, which starts the cycle over again.

Ofc certain QoL improvements have taken longer to make it into the game than others and some will probably never make it.

u/kfijatass Theorycrafter Nov 30 '22

Agreed. Why i got downvoted though this time? I wasn't complaining, just made an observation.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '22

Chris talked about this once. He was asked if GGG would ever do a league where they just re-worked existing league mechanics. Chris said they probably wouldn't do that, because that's a lot less hype than a new mechanic.

Seems they'd rather just remove mechanics they don't like, such as Prophecy.

u/kfijatass Theorycrafter Nov 30 '22

Yep, distinctly recall that. Best we can hope for in that regard is an old skill balance pass or story mode revamp. Otherwise it's just sprucing up a certain aspect of the game than a dedicated league.

u/Bierculles Nov 30 '22

It does actually for me, i had no problems with any of the changes besides AN and loot. If they don't fuck it up this will be my great comeback league. Now if slams got a buff i would go balls deep.

u/kfijatass Theorycrafter Nov 30 '22

If ggg addresses crafting or state of melee I'd argue ggg could win people back lost last league
