Socially, you guys are taking 10 steps backward while other gaming companies are raising up and celebrating their black characters. Really guys? How about you buff her instead and actually work with the prophecies that someone (not the community) deemed uninteresting or whatever. No mention of what would happen to any prophecies aside from Fated Uniques was made, just that you would delete everyone's Navali related items in a short time.Īnd, last but ABSOLUTELY NOT LEAST you are removing the games' black character. We use prophecies for MANY more aspects of the game than Fated Uniques and you've made zero mention of the removal of these key mechanics that make the game more interesting and give it more depth, more possibility. The items you deemed uncool were actually being used and quite a bit. The player feedback is absolutely deafening: 1. If you think certain uniques just "aren't interesting" anymore, how about making them interesting or just putting the upgrades into the game and removing the prophecy step? How about updating prophecies that were dated and leaving everything else? I found it very strange that the announcement made no mention of the wildly popular prophecies you're taking away for no good reason. Take out the worthless stuff like Tormented Spirits and Talismans, not this mechanic that almost every player makes use of. Get in touch with your players and game, please! Just cause 1 turd in the forums hates Prophecies and someone at GGG thinks certain Uniques are boring doesn't speak for the millions of customers you serve. You clearly saw this was a disaster of an idea/announcement, pulling it down so quickly indicates you had no idea of the level of backlash that was incoming. We know why it was taken down from the public eye so quickly - the response was overwhelmingly negative. Be like a smart company and use this free market research and customer feedback constructively, like any profitable company would. Call it backlash but you should really take it as free Market Research: THE CUSTOMER HATES THIS AND IT TOOK UNDER AN HOUR TO FIGURE THIS OUT. Kind of strange how after barely an hour of this "amazing update" showed when you opened PoE yesterday, that it was taken down and replaced by an MTX sale announcement so quickly. With fated uniques going to certain boss loot tables (example from announcement: Atziris reflection > rare Atziri/Uber Atziri drop, dont remember which one), there will be a huge surge of them in the market, enabling more players to experiment with them. Now, the prophecy uniques (fated versions) are bloating the uniques pool too much - if you remove them, people will be pissed, if they stay, people ARE and WILL be pissed because 99% of uniques is just trash that is picked up by bots for alchemy shards. Most of the prophecies were even worse like they are right now. I will miss those, they were my starting 7ex this league (selling them in bulk).ģ. That is not imo okay, especially when you are supposed to play for 3 months and not a week (dev perspective here). Stacked decks are basically allowing Day 2 atlas completion (along Sirus). Prophecy is one of the oldest leagues currently being in the core (you mentioned incursion, which is 3.3 patch iirc, meanwhile prophecy is patch 2.3 which is about 2 years gap) and it is slowly showing (spaghetti code was strong back in the days)Ģ. But there are some reasons why it should be removed:ġ. I flip some prophecies from time to time, sell stacked decks, etc. Well, I am neutral about usage of Prophecy mechanics.
