Prophecy as a Core Game Mechanic

1. I liked doing Prophecies, but when i was bored of it i simply skipped them, hard to do isn't it?

2. If Reach of the Council does NOT get a Legacy version and gets the same retroactive nerf as Voltaxic, then that is a change of game design policy and ALL, yes i said ALL LEGACY ITEMS should be retroactively deleted and replaced with their current equivalent uniques. Things like every Legacy Shavronne's wrappings, all Vessel of Winktars, Kaom's Heart, Mjölner, Windripper, etc.. ALL of the hard earned op uniques should be modified to medicore because i am a butthurt new player who did not play those leagues and had a chance to get them and they are scaring away the customers from my 500ex crafted rares.
So how would the old players feel when their prized items turn to average stuff?
End of rant.

But seriously GGG wreck the standard market and nerf ALL uniques retroactively to liven up the game.

A game like this will always have changes. New content will be added and when the developers feel, they have caused it to get unbalanced, they are bound to roll back some of it to make it more balanced.

My take on this is a nerf is all good to keep the game balanced for the future. Many new people join everyday, many leave playing. The game needs to be balanced in the present time. But there are always things that people dream about, like a perfectly rolled harbinger selling for 350 exalts :D

There are OP legacy items floating about which people eventually may work hard to earn enough to buy. If people have worked towards getting certain things, they should be allowed to keep it. Some players having super strong gear for some time will not hurt the larger number of new players or others without the benefit of it. A person having the most amazing gear is bound to stop using it (getting bored or leaving the game or selling it). Even the player keeps using it, it hardly effects others who play the game as it is now and not as it used to be once upon a time.

I think the Reach and Voidheart are OP. I also believe that keeping the stronger versions of them as legacy and changing the newer versions works. People can keep those things they worked hard to get. This is their reward for playing the game or the league at this time. Future players will get some other benefit. A retroactive nerf needs to be applicable to all OP items and not only certain uniques. Eventually the legacy items will rise in price and become items people want to buy eventually just like a headhunter (which is OP).

Regarding the inclusion of Prophecy, people have preferences. Some people like it, some people don't. No right or wrong there. I don't like this league much, but that's just my opinion.


THIS MAN IS RIGHT!

Even though i have made a build guide with Reach, and played it for almost all league which was really fun and enjoyable, i still agree that it might be a tad too powerful. I also agree that it shouldn't be retroactively nerfed, which imo is also higly unlikely, as there isn't any variable stat that has ever been nerfed in the course of the game, and changing the additional projectiles, kinda ruins the niche-ness and novelty of the item.
I make mirror tier items, I don't rlly play the actual game. Reddit hates me. I'm not cool.
Prophecy also started the 3 month time frame for the next challenge league and the making of all players be beta testers for GGG as 3 months is too short of time to properly debug new code (proof is the audio bug and server/client latency timing problems).

Sweet make a Cardio prophecy! and a fishing prophecy. I got to visit a instance with a invisible to me Krillson once!

Navali is, as most NPCs are, a member of the Lead Shoes tribe as she is quite literally a fixture in all settlements and never moves. Only the Masters seem to have mastered the technique of human movement. I guess I should be happy that some NPCs will turn in place to face you while talking to you.

Oh man,i had forgotten about that thing.
I really missed it,it's been a long time!
So I had the luck to get a Reach drop the very first time I tried to enter The Pale Court. And on top of that, it was the first time ever since I start to play this game (Open Beta) that I had the luck to 6L it by myself.

If my bow is going to be nerfed, then ALL legacy items have to be nerfed too.

Nerf future drops, but not the one that we fought hard to get. Justice for all.

And lose 99% of the standard player base in the process, players who have been supporting the game for over 3 years. You are a genius.

Imo reach should not be nerfed. Decreasing the drop rates of silver coins will make it much harder to farm and then they should make it rarer than the other council drops. Yeah it ruined the bow market in prophecy but if you make it freakishly hard to obtain (like skyforth or atziri's acuity) then the bow market will get back on track.

And yeah it does absolutely sucks to have our hard earned items nerfed. I got myself a rotc in prophecy which i divined into an awesome roll. Why ruin the results of our hard work?

I care about my standard stuff. In fact, a minimum of 20% (poe standard population) of the poe population does. Probably a lot more cause theres a lot of players (like me) who plays temp leagues but cares about their standard stuff.

Just keep doing legacys or balance stuff via rarity of the drop. Making shits rare is a pretty good balance because the market never gets flooded. Even in standard the skyforth isn't even close to be flooded. It works perfectly.
