1% ? This big number.. Meh.

This is actucally a way too big numbers we are speakign in here.
Their feedback is based practically on about 20 ( 0.001% ) peoples, which is sh*ting nonstop on our faces from their cr*ppy lousy streaming channels.
This is not the PoE which we have participated once before, and it was built upon the idea for happyness of the masses. Now it is build upon the selfish idea of bunch of guys.
And it is going into just hit and smash direction. Which is just an action game without much of RPG in there.

Ruining leagues = Ruining Super Mario. That's all.

i don't know how many they are, but i know it's not higher than 1%, so i said 1% tops and less than 1%. but thanks for telling me that it's much lower than that. as i said, we need to find where they live and put sleeping pills on their drinks and then they say that it's too hard to go 100 level and GGG will listen to that small minority and will decrease the xp

It would be easy, since I believe they are sleeping all together those peoples which love the nerfs in PoE 3.x...

Barrage
Barrage no longer has the additional projectile enchantment available in the Merciless Labyrinth. The equivalent Endgame Labyrinth enchantment now grants +1 additional Barrage Projectile (down from +2). Existing helmet enchantments are unmodified.

The additional projectile made this skill and enchantment combination the superior choice for bow/wand users. We want to ensure that there are several viable options for these characters.

um.....

that's no nerf.... Barrage was OP even without the enchantment

you did nothing here GGG, it's still the best single target bow/wand skill in the game by far and barrage meta will persist

Nerf it properly or buff other bow/wand skill

Last sentence is important. I have been looking through tons of pages on this thread. The majority of comments in favor of this have 0-2 supporter titles. The majority of players who dislike this have 3-8 supporter titles. Seems like the player base that dislikes this stuff are the paying consumers. I would start to listen to them fast. I mean unless GGG staff are such haters of the filthy casuals and so hardcore themselves they will develop the game without being paid just to show how hardcore they really are.

What if i dont want to show it off? What if i didnt buy a supporter pack but rather straight 500 premium tabs?

And tbh, this "whine" we can see every single new update. And you know what? playerbase was always getting higher and higher. Also the earnings of GGG went up after each of these whine threads. And most likely you and the other whiners will still play the game and after a while completely forget about what you whined about, just like every1 else who whined about double dipping nerfs, ES nerfs and such.

Imo GGG will just laugh at every little whiner post bcause they know how little it actually matters.

Because noone buys 500 straight prem tabs. Noone. You buy supporter pack for nice MTX, for the forum title, bragging right and you also get the points. And THEN you spend points on prem tabs.

But yes - noobs like the nerf because then they are not such noobs anylonger. Anyone who really invested into the game and has few builds with acuity or whatnot - now we all have to see GGG destroy yet another few of our builds.

You put time, money, energy into creating a character over couple months just to see it gutted at a whim by GGG. Yes, I DONT LIKE IT.

Will i buy another support pack? Probably. I was gonna buy the green portal one for 160, and I still prbly will - but not now, at the end. If at all.

And again - i dont understand why some items stay legacy forever like kaoms heart, while other items are nerfed retroactively.... Who decides?

I mean GGG is owner of the game, but it seems that there are many unhappy players. I could care less about nerfs in the upcoming league - that only makes everything and everybody on a same level playing field. It is the destruction of Acuity and other items in standard, destroying already completed builds - that is my problem.

500 tabs was an exaggeration. I have 25 + all special tabs. And this will most likely mean gave more than the average player. Im pretty sure that the mass on selling tabs outweights the earnings of supporter packs. I just simply dont bother with looks in games tbh, therefore no need for MTX, although achievement related MTX is welcome.

Noobs like the nerf? That has nothing to do with things like this. 90% of the playerbase doesn't have chars over lvl 95 bcause in the end most of us dont wants to grind that hard but are influenced by streamers to have the dream of hitting 100 "this league". If we talk about item nerfes than it't not the noobs who complain but the standard players. Ppl who exclusively play leagues don't bother with stuff like this. Funnily enough most league HC player would call standard players noobs.

Yes you will most likely buy another supporter pack and move on. That's what happens after every nerf.

I guess the reason why some items stay legacy and others dont is in the coding. Maybe f.e. Atziri's was code-wise connected to vaal pact to work correctly, while Kaoms just had a different number setted to life pool. That means that for Kaoms to have 2 versions, they just had to put a different life-number to nerf the new dropped kaoms, while with actuity to work like this they had to rewrite how the item actually works, with the changes to Vaal Pact keynote. It seems like it is just a way of safe working hours and therefore development money.

Are you also hiding the rest of your challenges? Otherwise it looks like you wouldn't care about the endgame content anyway. Are you some special kind who still plays the game hoping their player base and earnings will go up so maybe they will destroy meta builds with every new wave of plebs, maybe maybe you'd catch up?

No, im one of the casual league only HC players. I actually had another starting account where i only played softcore with by far more achievements, but at the time i wanted to retry PoE i simply forgot the pw therefore a new acc. Atm i was not able to achieve a shaper kill in a HC league, since when i die, the char is ded and also bcause if the league ends, i start over new and have to redo everything from absolute 0. Nonethless i am quite the opposite. I dont want the earnings to go up lol. I appreciate the XP changes, since i know that this only means that Streamers and other elitists have a longer time to actively play the game and therefore influence the playerbase to stay within a certain league. Meaning that with a longer sustained playerbase i am longer able to buy and sell sht.

Sad or not it is a fact.
The game is not anymore directed toward the diversity of the builds for the noobs. It's now directed toward focusing into the builds of the richest and most well paying minority. Just like every other general software business out there..

and people say you can play whatever you want, and you when you play the game this skill is not viable for all content, the other skill not viable too, the other is not viable either, and so on

Nail & Coffin.... way to go.

Next from Marvel Heroes is this game... have fun until you can.

XP nerfs? Really? /applaud.

Nerf whole maps above lvl 10 not to give xp, cause "we did't intended for lvl 100 to be achievable"!!!1111opkeneonfeoe¸1!1


In fact, I'll give you and idea, just cut it out. Make level 90 max. Or even better. Make level 80 max and delete last two act so that people can't get xp from those. It's not intended.

Even the "Diminishing returns" achievement is only collected by small percentage of Steam players, yet you decide to nerfhammer those from <95 lvl because of multiple-player-team-racers that populate leagues climb (too?) fast to that 100? Bravo, bravo, now that's rational reasoning and cheer for your delight in screwing non-multiteam players who will now never see that 100 lvl.

Another plus for the 100 level Ivory-tower lurking to crowd below: Now that you got your level 100, others will find it harder then it was for you so you can shit and giggle on them even more. Kudos for you! :D

# OF T16 MAPS NEEDED TO SOLO LVL 94 TO 95 = 99 (NO BOSS AND DEATHLESS)

Why Solo? - LAAAAGfest of grouping is too RIP'y
Why no Boss? - too RIP'y

I've been mapping for 4 yrs. (yes, casually - just like the far majority of the player base) and I might have 70 T16's (minus running ~ 20)
AFTER Harbinger I have another 70
SO after 4yrs. of grinding I might be able to hit 96 TODAY...next week it gets worse. Next weeks xp nerf adds about another year of grinding...for one toon to 100.

For comparison, during that same time I've ground out 134 Ex + 7,300 C (minus spending of ~70 EX).



# OF BEACHHEAD MAPS NEEDED TO SOLO LVL 94 TO 95 = 16.1 (Full clear AND DEATHLESS)
I invested heavily in these maps during Harbinger (north of 1,200 C) and came back with ~70 beachheads with the intent to blow all of these on one toon to push for 100.

GGG this is your problem - 4yrs of grinding is not enough?? For one toon to 100??

Is this the part where I talk about the Beyond leaguestones I ground out last league for this same purpose?? Oh....no? Sry those were taken out of the game.

You made a killer game GGG...I've supported you significantly along the way....STOP breaking endgame....just S_T_O_P!

"Path of Nerfs"

Say no more. I just feel the usual pain in a place I won't tell you about because this is a public place and there may be children around.

Let's hope Xbox people are having fun with blank attack, or at least cyclone.

Edit : don't worry the top 1% players (obviously streamers) will still cheese the game for more incoming nerfs.
