3.18.0d Patch Notes Preview

We are headed in the right direction, but still a ways from where we need to be imo.
I for example can not think of a single time I will ever be motivated to chase down a trickster mob if I don't kill it before it can run off screen.
I'm not really a big fan of hasted mobs like goatmen being able to jump me from nearly off screen faster then my flame dash can take me out of the situation.
And can we move away from slowing the player with so many different sources? If that really needs to be a trait(which I personally think you could cut, I find nothing more frustrating in a game then taking control away from me) then why does it come from so many sources? If the goal is to make threats easily identifiable then wouldn't it make sense to have the one mod that drops the slow debuff on the ground?

All that said I can see that you guys are working hard to try to get this right and I appreciate the consistency of the update. I would really like manifesto so we can know what the goals were, where you think you failed and succeed, why you think the community and GGG were so dissonant to the change, and philosophically what you are planning to do with the system.
I realize those don't just happen that is a lot of time to type those outand edit; and the people that would are probably busy trying to fix the problem at hand.
So good luck, I hope you can make the game as fun again because right now it doesn't feel like the game I fell in love with anymore.

We don't need any more nerfs...stop catering to the bad players.

Has nothing to do with skill... Absolute zero value troll post

Still the worst league, worst mechanics, worst currency drops that I've ever played. Game no longer enjoyable, playable. No longer fun

nerf on death effects please. why am I punished for killing a monster and wanting to collect the loot?

We're still working on a fix for Headhunter and will release it as soon as it's ready. Thanks for your feedback!

Thank you, these should have been in there from the start, but thank you it looks like a lot of improvement over existing

Few notes though:

- "Crystal-skinned: Improved the charge up visuals of crystals."
Mind turning the dmg or spawn rate down a bit since in claustrophobic alleyway maps, these clap hard.

- The ludicrous dmg from Permafrost, and some monster with burning ground is absurd not to mention the time Permafrost stays on ground AND how common it is. The way every mob shits an after death that hits as hard as a lab trap is not very intuitive. Like tone that down a 10% and it might actually be worth it.

- Boss spawned adds: do they really need stuff like ice prison? Or double mods that eat your summons and double tap you? It kinda defeats their purpose as distractions and "flask charges" when they can clap harder than the boss

- Reward vs Effort : What I really liked about Archnemesis was that you could definitely write your own demise by putting in a mod because you wanted to roll on the reward.
There really doesn't seem to be a risk vs reward situation dealing with high mod AN that can slap harder than a Metamorph. Not from my playing at least. I don't feel any richer or rewarded.
For the sake of economy and how it works with sentinel, bringing back some of that drop table would be good. Like increased change of corrupt items from corrupted, proper 2x basic currencies dropped, etc before empowerment.

- Beyond monster: Though bit of a sidenote. What are these even anymore? I wasn't there when they were introduced so i have no idea what they are to seasoned players but having to kill Haast 4 times in a map while he is pretty lame considering the rewards mostly are useless and on the general loot table.

But again, nice improvents on the patch notes otherwise.

Heralding minions? These mobs are absurd in any enclosed space with more than one mod.

Per the above - reward. So you killed an empowered mob that didn't get a little symbol and there's zero loot. Nothing. I press alt and still nothing. That's not OK.

The base loot chance was dropped entirely in favour of the amped drops. Then hand out amped drops.

That is for the public general non-coop soloing player.

If the 'farming' strategies are too overpowered for some, adjust it at the top.

honestly might as well remove On-Death Effects as well, they are bullshit and everyone hates them.
nothing is more demotivating than dying to some bullshit that happens after you kill the enemie, its horrible game design and shouldnt be in this game at all.

Please remove AN mods completely, or make them very rare (only map bosses), or put them in the Atlas tree, or whatever. I'm off for 3.18, and even with more nerfs to AN mods I doubt that I'll come back if they stay.

Make PoE fun again.

Plz remove arch Nemesis from core game, ty.
