lol at people demanding an answer to why GGG nerfs things when they put it literally in the first sentence of this manifesto. like literally, it says "we're not afraid to nerf game elements that are too powerful and are harming Path of Exile"

even more lol at the insinuation that people without any or many expensive supporter packs are somehow inferior to have an opinion.

quite simply hilarious. hi-la-ri-ous. nerfs always bring the best out in people on here.

The fun of an ARPG or any RPG anyway is feeling that your toon is getting powerful or getting rewarded from making it viable or strong. When you keep on nerfing, i dont feel like i m strong. I feel like i get weaker and i just quit for another game " less balanced". I played over 3500h and i never killed the shaper plus my toons are getting nerfed. I like having trouble killing a boss, working on my caracter then coming back to absolutly destroy him because i take time to find something smart to do.
Plus we got rewarded from finding strong mechanics ( douple dipping, Emberwake+taming builds, Old CoC builds, flask charge gained etc etc etc.)) because i invested time searching on the internet for my builds i was rewarded from it. now its just all gone and we take 6-7 minutes to kill a not much rewarding boss.. losing xp and chance of loots from the trash in the process. Please i love this game dont kill it like Blizzard killed WoW.
Thx for reading

Garbage. More nerfs instead of buffing other things to be more viable. I've never seen such poor balancing on a game that's essentially only PVE.

I'm glad I held off on buying the supporter packs.

[Removed by Support] It says right at the top that there's lots of buffs which will be detailed in the patch notes tomorrow.


[Removed by Support] look at the track record of how they've balanced the game for the past 3 updates. this is no way to balance a game and to pidgeonhole everyone into the same meta.

maybe you're just used to that terrible balancing because you've obviously only played this game since breach.

Balance? How it can be balance if u are making more legacy items? Like f.. barrage? If this is a balance changes, then please wipe out all +2 barrages..

Total XP Dumped on the community = approx. 305,801,527 = leveling 99 to 100 twice pre-patch. Wouldn't it have been simpler to just double the amount of xp required for 99 to 100?

Why? A lot of RF builds don't even use Rise of the Phoenix.

Losing the 3% max is irrelevant for non-users. Plus, with the added max life, those the were skipping the shield may now actually consider using it.
keep the SALT coming :)
Im not against nerfs when needed, but the VP/acuities and XP changes seems lazy.

You're taking leech away from many builds/ascendancies and now only making it viable for builds that invest heavily into leech, which is mostly in the southern part of the tree and slayer. Hopefully you enjoy playing a sunder slayer.

Balancing end game XP around people that nolife and play offscreening builds so rapidly that they dont pick up items in an item based game, genius. The same people that race to 100 then quit the league for 2.5 months, you want to cater to them? Maybe you should rethink balancing mob density off sextants or skills like TS and KB and not punish the majority of players with mindless xp penalties.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.

My concerns are continuosly being buried by people who have $0 - $50 supporter packs and highest characters at level 90 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.


I agree with this guy.


Might be time to quit this game unless some of the bad changes gets reverted, like at least the AOE nerf and things like that. Less and less options every patch.

Was getting a little excited for 3.1, but forget monetary support, maybe it's not even worth to play more. Less fun and unique ways to do things, always the 1k hour expert nerf team nerfing everything. WHy keep getting disappointed?
Still hoping for good patch notes and a fun league. If this league blows I'm out.
Item loot before patch stay legacy?
