99 to 100: 40% more exp.
lmao.

"

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

and again, all players get punished because of the 1% top players who play nearly 24/7 ... gg ggg ... and the problem with such high exp rate last league was only about the harbinger map...oh man...i what do u want ggg? only few hardcore player or a great huge community? with such changes, based on the hardcore ones, u will loose players, not gain (in the long term)

RIP vaalPact T_T

whyyyyyyyyyyy?

Hmm? I don't have a problem with people enjoying powerful builds but with all the other nerfs (RF, seriously?) it's just crazy to see something like this left untouched.

So your argument is because the fun was systematically removed from so many viable builds it should be removed from all of them.

I must grudgingly admit that at least that's in some sick way consistent.

Though in that case you should be arguing for general buffs rather than general nerfs.

It's all just colors on a screen. What's it matter which direction the numbers go in?

development manifesto abridged version: So we heard your complaints, and instead of well thought out balances we chose to take an axe just cut the whole things off.

Now there's literally no mechanic to save you against reflect mobs for many builds, making slayer, berserker, totem builds and summoners the only few that options that are capable of enjoying high level content without logout macros and the works.

Glad there are people who'll still enjoy eating this garbage and kiss the ground where Chris Wilson walks upon. I sure as hell won't be playing this league.

Uhhh have you been paying attention? Reflect is effectively gone. Then again considering the Knee Jerk reaction and hyperbole I'd not expect much in the whole "knows what's going on" department.

Omg. Should have bought that +2 barrage stakonja when I had the chance T_T

i have a concern for less hardcore gamers and the exp change. while i agree the best of the best get to 100 too fast i think you should have some real concerns about the grind your putting on the more casual of players. maybe consider tweeking exp only for those races and not during regular leagues. i cant add a more multiplyer to my play time that would be required to hit higher levels with this change =/. i'm already dealing with a bad 4 link build in life and RNG is preventing me from a 5L required for poe play time.

literally nothing you say makes any sense to me.

That because you're either very ignorant or a liar. Why would a casual want to play something designed to punish them for being a causal? Are you some sort of masochist? If so, fine. Just give yourself some conducts like in nethack, and stop trying to control everyone ELSE'S experience.

The solution here is simple. Offline mode and mods. But we all know that's never gonna happen because mah patents, mah profits.

why are casuals playing a game that is decidedly niche ? there are hundreds of games that already suck your dick balls deep for just moving your mouse around.

sorry, when I started playing this game it was marketed as the 'hardcore arpg youve been waiting for', not as an 'arcade clicker heroes simulator where you destroy hordes of enemies whose mechanics dont matter and that they dont fight back'. the '.01%' and 'masochists' is who the game was originally designed around, and is the reason why Im still playing it and not other 'modern' arpgs.

you should take your own advise and stop control everyone else's experience. that includes people who like games bending them over and fucking them mercilessly in the ass

using your logic, all games should all be made and catered to an average video game player. sorry, this is shit logic. and if you extend your shitty logic to things like literature, movies and so on, you can *maybe* see how shitty your logic is (if you can even get your head out of the fight club quoting vortex you clearly are stuck in)

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.

LOL
