Path of Nerfs

Next time think twice before posting videos on youtube how u kill shaper in 3sec while facetanking everything:)) same thing happend with es when ppl started posting videos how chimera cant kill them while they are afk sleeping:))
anyways every change is a good thingie. 32 new maps yaay. Tbh ggg should focus on releasing new maps every week so we dont get bored while playing same set of maps for weeks:)

None of these affect me at all, except one. That's the level 100 exp. That probably won't affect me either except in one way. It takes something that is probably in the back of a lot of player's minds that "someday" ..... well, thanks for the encouragement.

In Harbinger SSF there were 23 that made it to 100 out of 15,000 on the ladder. Plus however many didn't make the ladder.

23/15000 = 0.0015

So let's make it considerably harder for all the thousands of people who think they might try it some day.

If some top players make it to 100, so what? If twice as many make it, so what? The kind of players who grind to 100 quickly will still grind to 100 almost as quickly. For the other 99.9% of the players it just puts it that much more out of reach.

There is WAY too much attention being paid to what the top 0.1% of the player base is doing. They are only 0.1%, it doesn't matter what they are doing.

What Iam seeing going thru the pages of replies to this is People that like it dont or havent supported GGG and the people that dont like it have been supporting much more! I guess you dont care about selling supporter packs ... If you want my support you need to leave STD play alone I dont care what you do to leagues ... just want to be able to get a std character to lvl 100

maby you should move on. you put down a ton in support packets. and played a buttload aswell i guess. if you cant make 100 in standard in all that time, while so many can do it in a few days in hc leagues with alot of deadly modifyers and no gear, basicly only playing with left hand.... maby its not for you.

you cant make a turtle into a race horse but maby a fast turle.. sadly in your case i think you just need to settle with being a turtle with a lot of supporter packs.

If you think Dark Pact radius is too big I don't care about any "buffs" that are to come. Never buying support packs again. The only reason why I enjoyed this game for so long is because of the cool builds you could play (VMS V.SPARK V.FB VPS CoC discharge) builds you could really sink currency into and have FUN being a fucking god PLOUGHING thru maps. I hate this degenerate meme of "hurr durr true d2 successor" such a cancerous outlook on the game. This game could literally be one of the greatest and most enjoyable pve games ever made but you CONSISTENTLY choose to play the role of the anti-fun police. If I could refund my support packs I would. If I could go back in time and prevent myself from wasting money on this depressing saddist company I would. From the bottom of my heart as a long time dedicated player, fuck you.

yep, they could have really kept the "avatar of fire" meta from closed beta 2102, which, with 100% conversion just destroyed everything in this game.

masses of people would have joined to play this overpowered shit in the last 5 years... wait?! if everyone, his mother, grandma and his dog plays the same builds the game is just trivial and no challenge anymore.

see you in the next league :-)

Pretty much this.

It's the same in every game. Tens of thousands playing but devs only focuses on the elite 0.1%. That same group that will reach max level before anyone else regardless cuz they invest more time and more money into it than anyone else.

This will not discourage me from playing the game but it will keep me away from trying to reach 100. Trying to reach the challenge goal per league is more than enough.

Never100, NeverMind

IT`S ONLY A GAME, NOTHING MORE!

I like these changes. They are very necessary imo. The game was way too easy. No real challenge. Facetank the biggest attacks by only press the attack button. So the vaal pact change for example is an absolutly right decision.

The XP nerf only affects a really small player base. How long took it for some players to level to 100 in the mayhem league? 5-6 days? Even player, who doesnt get support by their guild, reach level 100 in less than 2 weeks.

In the future we will still see player reaching level 100 in a few days, maybe took 2-3 days longer. We will still see OP builds, melting Uber Atziri/Shaper/etc.

I bet: The biggest whiner here, who say that they will never play the game, have a lvl 90+ char in a few hours/days after the abyss league starts. ;)

>3 chars, all standard, 1 lvl 90+ =)

You know, too many people in the world are getting successful before they die. So we're going to make it even more difficult to become rich once you've made it to middle class. Now owning your own home will cost 6.5% more in your mortgage payments. Starting your own company will cost 11.5% more. Becoming a millionaire will take you 28.25% longer, and becoming a billionaire will take you 40% longer. For the 99%, forget ever becoming part of the 1%, because f*** you.

why the hostility? in clsed beta it's been nearly impossible to level to 100, then ggg increased the base xp in maps to 2% which let more players level to 100 without nolifing a year of their life. it got easier and easier, doing beachhead rotations eventually trivialised it.

now it's been nerfed a bit because they don't want certain players reaching 100 in less than 10 days playtime.

be rest assured, the next "beachhead" will follow some league in the future and players (or player groups) will get to 100 in a week eventually.

it's always one direction for games: easier and easeier, power creep creep creepier and then death because of no challenges ... i really had hopes poe would be different because of the dogma of "not wanting to devaule player's efforts". well, it's been a promise they couldn't keep.

to the original point again: xp needed to level to 100 is just a temp league issue. for standard, players assume you did it on the easiest way possible when it comes to acknowledgement. temp leagues are just ... temporary.

where is your problem?

BULLSHIT! who who who??? maTHIL???? Elitist shitness change...


I found this completely unnecessary ...
Only very focused players OR Bots take lvl 100,
I'm a casual player, I like playing and I dreamed of getting 100 lvl, I feel very frustrated. Players like Alkaizerx or Zizarian will take 1 week longer to pick up 100 lvl. I'LL TAKE ... NEVER ...

Oh really? wtf GGG !?

Elitist change of shit ... Very demotivating.

#FeelsBad.

Mathil? Mathil has never reached level 100 nor does he ever plan to

agreed. Mathil are not elitist, nor taking Chars past 95. he dont give a fuck as he also stated in hes latest video. lets all enjoy the attempts by mathil in hc the last half year or so :D
