Path of Nerfs

The SALT on this thread makes me laugh so hard. Keep it coming bois I'm making a compilation of all the salt.

The xp nerf killed my hype for the expansion.
not all people can play 15+ hours a day

My concerns are continuosly being buried by people who have $0 - $50 supporter packs and highest characters at level 90 who have only been playing for ~2years so i will have to repost. I WANT AN ANSWER GGG.

chris why do you keep nerfing things? do you just want us to play vanilla sunder builds for the rest of our lives? seems like such a waste considering how much potential the game has for more creative builds. CAN WE HAVE CAST ON CRIT BACK ALREADY? why does it matter if certain builds are OP in a game that is mostly just gonna be played as single player or co-op anyway?? It's not like PVP is a real thing, nobody cares!

Meanwhile we still have builds like traps and mine builds running rampant and one shotting end-game content like atziri, shaper, and uber izario. how is this fair??? i've been supporting this game since closed beta (look at my supporter packs) and i only end up playing less and less patch after patch simply because there just aren't enough fun builds for me to try anymore

why???? back then when i played HC i would roll 10-15 builds each league. now i can barely justifying rerolling more than 1 character because nothing interests me anymore. your NEW content is made obsolete becausee you're changing and forcing the meta too much. you guys need to relax on the nerfing. this game should allow players the freedom to play and create what they want. PLUS, most of these things being nerfed are mostly high-end stuff that majority of players won't be able to achieve anyway, or takes a lot of time/currency investment in order to achieve. I understand nerfing broken and cheap builds but nerfing items like acuity or old builds like CoC just doesnt make any sense to me when there are builds that currently exist that take low currency and time investment to achieve power levels even higher than old CoC (eg. GC mines).

im sorry but if this continues i dont think i can continue to support this game. I am at a point where i am starting to regret the thousands of dollars $$$ i've thrown at you guys because the game just isnt as fun anymore.

P.S. i am fine with the exp nerf, never cared about 100 and 100 should have never been so easy anyways

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

LOL dude really? It was going all right til I see this.... I want leave this game now. What a completely disaster.

You are nerfing xp grinding again from level 95-100 because of Zizaran, Steelmage and havoc6?

Come on dude, 99% of PoE players never reach level 100. Are you really balancing this game around 5 players that non-stop farming maps for 40h in a row? No study no work no sleep?

wtf is wrong with you GGG... you're pushing level 100 grinding to the way where nobody else but 5 streamers can actually do it. This is by far the worst shit you could have done. Very disapointed here.

oh, yeah, it is so easy to get 100 right? 5 MONTHS of SSF harbinguer league and there is 23 players level 100. 4 of those characters are just one guy ( Exif ), so 19 players level 100.

19 players level 100 in 5 MONTHS.
What a very easy thing to do, of course needed a nerf! That's a fucking joke roflmao.

Amazing!!! <3

About the EXP nerfs i like it really, since i love challenges good job GGG 10 points from me :)

Sincerely Sklips.

Some fair nerfs (i.e. wither), but many idiotic ones. Nerf to acuity is ridiculous, especially considering how rare they are. RIP Mjolner, skyforth, shavs, and now acuity. All they need to do is nerf HH and there will truly be nothing left to grind for. This combined with XSolla garbage makes me extremely hesitant to support this league. Nerfs I can handle, my CC getting declined or flagged due to shady XSolla I can handle, but both together I can't.

I love these nerfs. PoE has become a bit numb / too easy with all the clearspeed metas and face-tankability (yes, hardcore too) compared to 2013-2015. Can't wait for the Abyss!!

Hope you will make hardcore hardcore again.

Not too many nerfs for a change.

Are you guys also change the vuln on hit glovecorruption?

I hate the fact that GGG listen way too much the 20h/24h 7/7 streamers and that it always affects badly all the rest of the players.

However, I always liked the fact that reaching level 100 should be almost unobtainable in PoE.

Good job GGG, and also bad job GGG ^^
