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, I already don't have character above lvl95 and I am here from 2012, because after 95 grinding xp is boring to me and most my builds can own content with lvl90 or less so it is pointless.

You with that nerf moved level 100 boundary a bit far for 99% of PoE population and you repeat similar xp nerfs from patch to patch, making this game more boring not harder.
Those less then 1% who rlly dont play game and enojy in real meaning "play all content", will still got that 100, because passing 1.000.000 "poorjoys", "beacheads", etc is not real progression and I think it don't deserve ladder. Brainless progress don't need to become meta.
I know only that, many of those lvl100 on ladder still can't kill shaper, many cant own guardianas at all, so did they won game and deserve place on ladder?
Ty for making game more grindy not harder.

Um, dude what? I don't know of a single racer that gets to the top of the ladder each league that hasn't done all game content and can farm. If we just look at streamers alone that are in the top of each league/race there isn't a single 1 that has not farmed shaper extensively. You said it yourself you have never had a 95+. So chances are you never would either. You said you farm just fine at 90. So then there is no reason you should be complaining about content changes that will never affect you because you don't play on that level.


Overall I think the nerfs mentioned here where all needed. Vaal Pact has been far to powerful for far to long. Rise of the pheonix is the ONLY shield for RF the only thing I see this nerf doing is massively decreasing the damage ability of RF by forcing people to go for more max res nodes instead of damage. Which might make this gem into a very rarely used skill again.

Looking forward to tomorrow patch notes to see what kind of buffs we are getting!

This is flat facepalm You know ?!

The point of PoE is not to have 1 character on 100, but every character to 100.
The point of PoE is the diversity over the balance.
the point of PoE is to expand the Standard game using the ideas into the alphas called "leagues".
The point of PoE is to make every skill combination possible.

Since 3.0 - every main ideology and worth of PoE went just the oposite.

There is none consistency in here. Just constant idea about switching and remaking on the cost of everything.
This is not the game I loved initially anymore.

To Chris and GGG: Thank you, these look interesting.

To the vocal minority: your whining is just embarrassing. If you have constructive criticism, please, let's hear it. If all you have is insults, keep it to yourselves.
