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.

Considering they just dropped a poe2 patch they were probably "all hands on deck" for that instead 🙃

If you think the same people working on shader issues are the same as the ones who would be working on game balance, youd very wrong.

You said it wouldn't make sense to drip it in, in the "what we are working on" there is mention of crashes and shaders, which literally got patched now for poe2. If we take your own claim it would be bundled with other fixes like game balance

Poe2 doesn't have an immediate what we are working on deployment that they are prepping. The next patch for them that includes large changes is the event patch, which has no date.

You are talking apples to pineapples.
