For everyone thinking the lack of Slayer nerfs was too good to be true, you were right. An unnamed designer just walked in to my office, tricorne in hand, to confess that a nerf was missed out when writing the article. I have updated the thread now.

I love it. 48 pages of people pissing and moaning... "Im not buying anymore MTX" "Im quitting this game".... and here comes Chris - "fuck it, let's nerf something else"

When we getting a complete skill tree re-work again? Imagine all these kids having to re-plot their build every patch?

HAHA Slayer

If by "communist" you mean neolib I might buy that. Or you're just being the everyone's a PHD on the Internet cliche.

In reality we both know I nailed it, regardless of what label you claim for social advancement because of context.

Actual dyed-in-the-wool sociology degree having Marxist. Here's me with my parents and my degree, EXIF data intact! Stalk me if you like.

I have a suggestion! If you raise the amount of exp needed to get to another level, Then i hereby demand you lower the exp penalty on death!

Never gonna happen. GGG can't stand the idea of people having fun. This is their job and they want it to be a job for us too. They resent us even as we pay them.

The game has to be stressful and competitive and punishing for all but their approved builds and the high rollers. The people who in their mind "deserve" fun. Like all these class whiners clutching their pearls in horror at the idea of "plebs" having a powerful character.

It's pure dev insecurity. Somehow they think if they make an accessible amusing casual experience anywhere in the poe universe they're less of a man.

Seriously it's pure controlling armchair tough-guy logic. It's clear by the very name. Like they're telling us you're either losing your whole character when you die or you're "soft." Weak. A failure.

It's as value loaded in terms of terminology as renaming softcore to casuals and hardcore to nolifers.

So yeah the exp penalty is here to stay. It'll only ever get worse on balance.

Much needed nerfs. Thanks GGG. VP was a no brainer. Be good to see some variety now :D

congratulations on your first fuck up of the game, now fix the skill keystones back to the way they were. don't be a fucking douchebag now and fuck up the character classes and skills on passive trees like blizzard does. big mistake. Don't fuck up a game that's doing so well, your gonna lose your fan player base real quick, trust me.
