Path of Nerfs

As developers, we're not afraid to nerf game elements that are too powerful and are harming Path of Exile. Unfortunately, patch notes are not the best way to communicate these nerfs, because their format and information density makes it hard to include sufficient explanation.

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

Conclusion
Well, there's the list of significant nerfs. Hopefully we didn't forget any important ones. We have a decent list of buffs to go with it, which will be posted tomorrow in the full patch notes!

Thx guys. Getting to 100 is my favourite and maybe only long term achievement. For me, as a ambitious casual player, it is a project, which takes several months.

We all know and can see via streams, how (a small group of) people can get to 100 this quick. They play (work?) in a very unhealty, absurd and - for me - not enjoyable way.

Do you really need to affrond "all" to catch "some"? Idk guys, feels like not my game anymore.

After 3 Days, all GGG goodbye ppl will open new character in new league. LoL

hah. Probably You miss the reality. And the reality is that there is more peoples which prefer to play Standard. And those which is coming back for the expansion probably do not even read the patch notes.
I am 100% sure that 80% of the newcomers or those which will be back for the check will be gone ( at least ) until the end of the January, and I am trying to stay positive in here.

Had the worst mornings of my life after i read these nerfs i feel so discusted.

You know what? I envy you.

No, really. If the worst morning of your life is waking up to a bunch of nerfs in PoE, you must be one of the luckiest, happiest, most content people on this rock. Salute to you.


With that said, this is quite a bit of outrage xD.
I'm honestly weirded out by the amount of people that are mad at the exp change when they will not, in fact, be affected by it.
What percentage of players actually reaches 95? 5%, less? This change directly hits a certain, fairly small group of people: those that had realistic chances of reaching 100 before, but weren't in the top 0.1% that'd hit 100's in a week or two.
The rest of the playerbase will be completely unaffected by this.

Whiners! I have a good news for you! Its not full list of nerfs, so you can whine another times in future!

People with brain! I have a good news for you too! Tomorrow we can see list of buffs and we can do conclusion about all of this!

Yeah. I believe I've heard this already in 3.0 discussion about the ES/CI kill.


And concluding that we are brainless for killing our fun ?! Great point. You should be some sort of genius then. GZ. PM me your facebook pls.

Not all people reaches 3rd lvl... And you whine about 95-100 bracket. GGWP

I believe that one of the possible way of fixing the game is just by blocking the most selfish and stupid part of the society - the streamers..

Plz wait buff list

"Glacial Hammer buffed by 6%"

MY BODY IS READY

Well, I feel good with the new Nerfing post, because I didn't go after 90 lvl and probably I won't do it soon. :)
With these changes people can become a bit more equal in PoE, because there are builds that are far more powerful than others and destinated only for end-game/boss killing. It's all about diversity in builds and having fun from playing.
Still, I play for fun. It's good I don't have any more motivation to go go beyond lvl 90 or even 85 :), but my recommendation is the death's loss of experience to be revised.
These changes are good, because this way people can play more in parties and going for loot together.
Right said, the nerfs on this post were predicted by experienced players and it seems, nerfing will go further, but I really don't care - it's noone's life mission to play PoE and lose real life.
The game becomes fully grind with more grinding at higher levels. 99 % of players won't go beyond 90 lvl I suppose.
Probably this is idea... some chosen to take it all from leagues and trade after.. I don't know.

God... every season brings out a new meta.. why are you all whining so much? If a build is nerfed, make another. I find these changes more than fine! :-) I don’t mind the game changing, and it seems reasonable.. also, we’ll get a ton of buffs tomorrow. Lots of new skills etc.. there will be more builds than ever. I’m just happy they’re trying. Can’t wait till’ Friday! Cheers. GG -GGG.!
