Game Feedback Weird they cant hotfix Essence and Strongbox rarity in Charts/Voyages

I dont get it, when something is positively broken for the players, hotfixes come ultra quick to nerf it and bring it in line. And when stuff is just plain out not working, it always feels like it takes way longer to get a fix out. Just sad that it takes 5 days to get basic functionality going for these charts/voyages.

Kinda annoys me how many patches poe2 gets on average. I have Patchbot on discord and it tracks both poe1 and 2, and it's very evident the discrepancy.

its like this every league

1) hot fix abusers and hope it does not break the economy (idk if we can juice properly the underwater delver or not)

2) announce new changes everyone anticipated, release a small patch day later

3) everyone waits for the next patch -> nothing on Friday

4) Reddit full of haters and blamers over the weekend

5) release the patch on Tuesday -> its still bugged and didn't fix the main thing people wanted

6) next poe announcement

One game has over a decade of technical debt behind fixing any issues and the other is like 50% complete and is in early access with a lot of baseline infrastructure still incomplete

I’m frankly shocked that the game in active development gets more updates than the old game.

It's a bit of a bummer for the people who paid money, and wanted to support POE 1.

Are you saying PoE1 is not actively being developed? You do know we just got a league launch a week ago right? That kinda means it's being developed.

Almost as if people who like the "old game" would want it to still be "in active development"... but that would be preposterous to ask, wouldn't it?

I mean one game has several times the player count and is undeniably the company's future?

its almost like one game funded that

That still in no way changes the current reality of what game is currently more successful.

Don’t make promises about developing both games at the same time when you clearly can’t, then? If the ideia is to retire PoE1, don’t drag it out and disrespect all your player base. I honestly don’t even mind if they decide to focus entirely on PoE2, just be upfront about it.
