I enjoyed 3.15. It wasn't received well, but a nerf fest like that is necesasary every once in a while. Powercreep can really hurt a game in the longrun, see Magic the Gathering. Only commander and investors left in that game. The game is practically a clownfest because of power creep among other things. They can never print less powerful cards, because the sets won't sell as good. It's a wrong way train in only one direction. Be glad the GGG devs did what they did. It was very healthy in the long run.

Expedition had the best T-Posing in PoE history and I will forever cherish it for that memory alone

imho, poe peaked before maven.

PoE peaked on that one patch where Maven was introduced.
This is often referred to the golden era patch 3.13 by the PoE veterans.

After that followed 3.15 the biggest nerf fest in history and it got worse in 3.19 Lake of Kalandra. I think 3.27 is a another new local low in this timeline.

i cant recall anymore but i do love the atlas tree that came to be one of the best things in poe. that was introduced with maven. but on the flipside, power creep came with her where ggg kept increasing the difficulty ceiling. uber elder+shaper was challenging enough but now theyre a mere stepping stone before players got to t17s and ubers.

The game has had power creep since its inception. The only time power creep is 'bad' is when too much old content gets left behind and is no longer desirable, thus becoming obsolete. GGG has a pretty good record on cleaning up on that stuff though, and the 'good' side of powercreep is keeping the game fresh and engaging

I would say power creep is a contributing driver that keeps games alive long term. It is important to have a broad spread rather than a concentrated power creep.

To pick up the given magic example it is good to support underplayed archetypes with new power so they become fun to play otherwiese they are too weak (take Shield Crush for example it completely missed the melee buffs from 3.25 and could use some love). But if the power creep is concentrated on already powerful arcehtypes (mana stackers/int stackers) stuff becomes stale and boring in the meta.

In essence power creep is a good thing when done correctly.

Rares need to be strong since there is nothing else that can really hurt you in maps. I figure magic packs can be stronger, they used to have bloodlines. Soul eater is the only thing that makes rares too tanky, but thats one mod that can be adjusted. The current system already fixed the old system where a rare could spawn that had +damage modifiers to everything and would be able to dish out oneshots. If you're still getting ''1 shot'' by rares your build lacks defenses or you're applying too much damage increase mods to your maps.

this league is the worst league of all time. no content, nerfs, 0 patches. poe2 wont affect poe1 development btw

Archnemesis league has entered the chat

Oh well i forgot patch 3.17 in my timeline. But indeed i stil think this patch 3.27 is a new low when it comes to gorund loot from killing mobs.
