Just a post to acknowledge all the times that GGG has listened to the people
I love how angry people are about everything on this sub. “Gah! If only GGG would listen to us, the game would be great!!1!1”. Bruh, they do listen. Let’s look back at the past 8 months and see what I mean. Every single example I’m about to give, GGG originally pushed back on or minimized the problem, ONLY for them to fix them cause WE wanted it.
Maps used to be one death and done. You died from over tuned volatile plants? All your loot are belong to the game now. This change was SUPER resisted by the devs, as it was against “their vision”. But they listened and the game is at least 500% better because of it. Speaking of which VPs…
Volatile plants are no longer instadeath. Originally they thought they weren’t that bad from their own experience until they got a statistician to look at the numbers and went “oh shit yeah. 40% of deaths in maps are from VP. Thats not right”.
Trade is now asynchronous and the browser is in game now. For 13 years GGG hasn’t pulled the trigger on that and now it’s here and it’s glorious. I made 12c last night in my sleep and boy, for a guy that just got to end game and needs better gear, that’s gonna help a lot.
Loot got GIGA buffed. Remember when astramentis was 45,000 times rarer than a divine? They couldn’t figure out what the problem was. But we kept saying there was a problem so they kept looking and looking until they discover that a small change they had made to unique drop tables had FUCKED amulet and ring drops.
These are just the ones from the top of my head. I could throw it sprinting, and no more cruel, and scaling down the sizes and layouts of act three maps, and so, SO much more. Things that we wanted and they said “you know what, they have a point.”
Let them cook. They are doing an amazing job. I have never interacted with a gaming corporation that listens as much as GGG. We are in good hands.
