wrong way to combat the xp gain issues. what you just did was making the slow players become even slower. the issue is how effective you could gather xp with thoes shaped maps with sextants and so on. i had rather seen thoes being toned down. so char with not 3 sceen clear could be considered viable. or adding a xp bonus from hard mods. the issue with all thies sextants is they add a ton of gain for a very low risk, vs running minus max crit + 2 added eles

rofl no way, this is the best way to combat exp issues. We need density to make gameplay itself fun. The penalties only kick in at level 95. Slow players don't need to pass that.

I say this as someone who hit 97 in harbinger just off easy beachhead exp... I don't need to pass 95. Ever.

Experience changes for high-level characters
Each league, the race to 100 is over more quickly than the previous one, as players become more efficient and the experience available gets larger. We receive overwhelming feedback (including from top racers) that this process should be made longer. We're going to be careful though, and just adjust it a bit at a time. In 3.1.0, this takes the form of small additional experience penalties at levels 95-99 that have the following effect:

95 to 96: 6.5% more experience needed
96 to 97: 11.5% more experience needed
97 to 98: 18.7% more experience needed
98 to 99: 28.25% more experience needed
99 to 100: 40% more experience needed

cool. insta leech off with changes to reflect -> agree, only thing with vaal pact that could kill you ... reflect and one shot mechanics.
srsly, i went CI Claws last league with pathfinder and only got that one tiny little node that has like 0,2% life leech and this is something that pushed me through all content easily = OP.

Also people saying CI was nerfed to the ground and they dont like the game anymore (altho 99% will play it again during first day)... also they dont like the game coz they cant buy 100c worth of gear and kill everything with it coz CI and vaal pact etc. is OP... also we like the feeling that nothin can kill us -> well i bet you play all other games on Easy difficulty and still find it hard coz you died once.


for me, i played two builds with vaal pact and I won't really miss it, it will make the game more challanging which is very good, also it is not an useless node and will find some luv from players and there will be builds based on it.

Atziri's Acuity - same as above, gloves will still be good and we actually need more content with good uniques like uber atziri. I'd go beyond that and put in some maps which you only have access to once a day which have a chance to drop legacy items or whatever but are hard (for casual players easier but less drops... practically like MMORPG instances that are somehow popular, still miss old L2 interlude antharas, baium etc. fights).

Barrage = op skill, practically for "not so wealthy" players like me last league we bought a simple +1 projectile enchant and it was OP. Only downside is that it gives away a choice whether to get +1 for cheap or save for +2...

ROTP changes are good, RF was rly boring for me and I ain't playing this ever again but I am sure this does not mean that RF is dead. Price of +1% armor enchant will go up :P

Also I wish there were more news :D this was quite short and those nerfs wont affect this league for me at all.
