Those Dark pact nerfs made me giggle. As if anyone is ever going to self cast that skill again, without VaalPact.	Posted by Cakku#0372 on Dec 5, 2017, 2:43:59 PM Quote this Post
I'm just hyped for the new(ish) builds people will make.	Posted by H3avyM3tal#0791 on Dec 5, 2017, 2:44:23 PM Quote this Post

Like, it's not even funny - AoE, CoC, double-dipping, bosses not dropping anything good after the HP nerf, ES... You're more heavy-handed than Hearthstone's "balance" team and it doesn't make your game more fun, it makes it suck. I dreamed of getting a level 100 one day, and now you've nerfed not only red map XP, but made it longer overall. Your reasons why are flawed - you listened to the 5 players that wanted it longer? What about the other 99.999% of your player base? Your other nerfs, like to Acuities, a chase unique that's already super rare and gated and been treated with nerfs before, are simply retarded. Stop making us play the way you want us to, and let us play however we want. You know, like you used to? Maybe you've already forgotten. It looks like you have. I support this 100% SSF, because Path of Trade RMTers and bots suck.	Posted by Iamod#4125 on Dec 5, 2017, 2:48:53 PM Quote this Post

As for "the problem", it's principle not practice that's the issue. I'm sick of the xp tweaks that GGG has done over and over again that only ends up hurting the casual and 99% of players just to appease the 1%. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░░ cipher_nemo ░░░░░░░░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀	Posted by cipher_nemo#6436 on Dec 5, 2017, 2:50:59 PM Quote this Post
Wow, experience changes at top levels, and not a word on the death penalty for the wretched. I guess I should be grateful though, now my decision to stop wasting time on this game seems like the right thing to do.	Posted by JohnWeps#0698 on Dec 5, 2017, 2:52:40 PM Quote this Post

They count as "self cast" and thus lost their range and lots of damage. I doubt they'll be used much now.

" A7X89 wrote: The XP nerf only affects a really small player base. Wrong, it "affects" everyone. It might only directly impact the top 1% in practice, but it greatly affects the 99% in a much more punishing way, both in practice and psychologically. If a casual had any hopes or goals of crawling from 95 to 100, they can pretty much kiss them goodbye.

I'm not a fast/clear speed league player.

They are not afraid of nerfing they say :) Lets not be afraid NOT to support from now on and see how they like OUR NERF ^^ GGG you just shot on your own foot, sad but true, i hope you guys can see clearly how your attidude affected the community by posting such a News with the title like that. I will still try out Abyss League but i AM ALMOST 100% SURE that i will quit it after a week or two due to the NERFS and unrewarding Bosses in Maps. See ya.

I remember when I made a long winded post berating you guys for your nerfs and all that crud. Know what? I take that back. Honestly, I'm interested in the new vaal pact. I had plenty of frustrated fun this passed league and it was a blast. I never play anything to 100 since I suck horribly so the xp nerf doesn't bug me either. I'm still planning to have fun. Cheers, dudes.	Posted by Seyren_Freyr#4269 on Dec 5, 2017, 3:05:53 PM Quote this Post
