But its not MY game, it's GGG's. Who am I scream as if MY favorite toy is being ripped from my arms?

Except we paid for and largely designed this toy. They raid our comments for ideas and then simply choose between them.

In no qualitative way does GGG have any real right to do what they do except that physical reality allows it. Their monopoly is ultimately purely a might makes right situation.

I feel you've lost sight of that.

You seem to be edging towards a way of thinking that places you in GGG's service instead of them being in ours.

That frankly scares me, when I see people thanking the merchant class for seeking profit. It's like thanking a bank for overdraft fees.

The game is free to play. They created the game thus they own the rights, and can do whatever they want with it. You make it sound like you have the right to preserve the game in the form you desire. You don't, your options are dictated by your intent to play a game somebody else made.

Futhermore, nobody is in anybody's service here. Not us, not GGG. This is a business transaction, we play the game and have the option to pay money to make our characters look cool. That's it.

Top racers requested a longer path to 100. So casual players get punished. Sorry we can't all stream 10 hours a day. Guess I'll never reach 100. Very disappointed.

because you said you wanted a casual game in vein of d2

So long as you feel your question is answered. X)

D2 softcore of every mode is as casual as you want it to be. That was part of the fun. It was accessible and yet deep. I run a small d2 community fwiw.

I know I don't play PoE much anymore these days. Chris you once said if you were to fix and balance the game the way it needs to be you would loose the player base. I feel it's a lot like a frog in warm water that is brought to a boil. Find something good in the game and please make it better. I have maybe thirty fairly high WORTHLESS builds and more than a few hundred tabs of junk now. Just make the game fun to play please.

We receive overwhelming feedback (including from top racers) that this process should be made longer.

Will poe be balanced around races now? I do consider races a legit part of poe but leagues are, by far, the most important part. So why imply that races can have such an impact on the balance of a league? Will the drop rates be adjusted, too, soon?
I know this won't stop all the crying under these manifestos but maybe next time don't mention how 'some players' are in favor of certain changes (i.e. racers). There was similar bitching in the comments last time with the ES changes when you mentioned the 15k ES. I don't mind it, I just think it might be advantageous to just leave out those infos to reveal less attack surface. Then again, this might be intended. It wouldn't be the first troll ;).

PS: I do like the title of the manifesto this time ^^

one wish on the XP. i dont like the nerf. can we, like, have hardcore lower EXP so the racer dudes go play hardcore, while the rest of us can get to lvl 100 in softcore? its just not worth my time going over lvl 90, if i even hit THAT.

What is the problem with Slayer nerf?
In 3.0.0 we had of 30% max life leech per second (20% base + 10% from fervour). No VP
In 3.1.0 we have 40% max life leech per second (20% base * 2 from VP).
+VP moved to Slayer area.
It is a buff, isnt it?

1. Every program is a number. No one should own a number. You disagree because religion. Even the old world understood this which is why we have a distinction between copyright and patents in the first place. Software should be handled exactly like recipes are handled, because that's exactly what it is. It's a recipe. I ethically and morally should have the right to edit it as I see fit, but because of physical law technical barriers not least of which being fear of suits and prosecution, I can't.

2. It's not free to play. You act like stash tabs aren't a thing. Like trade isn't a thing. Like paid tabs aren't the only real way to trade.

3. What happens when coding becomes so accessible you can simply clone this game at home by asking you personal AI to do it? Does GGG have the right to have the state punish you if you do so without their permission? You say yes because that's your religion. I don't share it. What happens when you can do this totally in your mind because cybernetics? Would GGG have the "right" to delete infringing memories/reveries?

4. My options are dictated by physical reality and nothing more. I am a collection of atoms behaving accordingly, just like you are.

You live in a fantasy world with inconsistent logic. As do all IPL cultists. And with this I am leaving the thread. I'd have better luck talking a Templar into atheism.

I have no illusions, there's no talking sense to a fanatic. Frankly there's no talking sense to anyone. They either already agree to they don't.

Have a great day all.

Vaal Pact Keystone
Being able to leech instantly meant that many threats were completely mitigated by high-damage fast-hitting characters with minimal leech investment

HAVE FUN NOW. YOU CANT OVERLEECH SOME ATTACKS. RIP 99% ATTACK BUILDS
