Recently, streamer Zizaran spoke with Jonathan Rogers and Mark Roberts, game directors of Path of Exile 2. During the interview, one of the developers shared a painful experience.
Grinding Gear Games studio promptly fixes various bugs that can negatively affect the in-game economy balance. And, as Mark recalled, players once found a vulnerability in a temple — they started actively farming Vaal Temple.
As a result, the developer had to work during the holiday season to implement urgent fixes:
The temple ruined Christmas for me… that temple just destroyed me.
It so "happened" that during their conversation with streamer Zizaran, the Path of Exile 2 developers received a signal that there were problems with the temple again: players had once again found a way to break it. Mark Roberts said that he no longer feels any pity for the temple or for the players who go to farm it — now he is ready to nerf it even in the middle of the season if necessary:
Believe me, I would get immense pleasure from just destroying the temple right now. I don't care if it's a "mid-league nerf." I've lost all sympathy for this cursed temple and everyone who goes to farm it. I'm exaggerating, of course, I don't actually want to just "make it bad," but you understand — [that incident with the temple] left some trauma.
