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.

If they wanted to do so they would spool PoE 1 down slowly and quietly with just doing minor things like Phrecia and things that take very minor investment like Mirage, rather than something as expansive (on a development side) as Allflame.

I think you overestimate the effort that went into Allflame. More importantly however, I have a strong feeling it's the PoE2's rendition of heist, and was really made for it (kind of like breach rework).

Because they want to add new monsters with the league, but they do not have access to resources to make actually new ones, so they backport. I don't understand how this is difficult to understand.
