Double standard much here?

You're a troll :D

No, you are, and not even a good one.

maybe you don't see the picture - I am not defending. I'm also pissed about some stuff. but that's part of the game - maybe this change will yield some nicer playstyle for me. also they cannot satisfy everybody and if they would, this game would feel unrewarding and dead in no-time.

This game is dead and unrewarding anyway, now that Sirius is going to map I'm basically banned from them. So much for making me enjoy the game.

I defeated Sirius on Awa 0 only once in my life and now I have to face him while mapping. I hate facing Sirius since that guy is INVULNERABLE for me. I'll rather face Tanos with a spoon than see Sirius. In my quest to get the Awakening Challenge, he was a necessary loss of EXP due of certain death. I'm not going to play this shit Friday. I'll take a break until they stop thinking that Sirius is a fun boss to face. I don't give a fuck about nerf, they can force us to play a no skill faceless character for what I care, I am pissed of having Sirius forced upon me. I hate Sirius.

You effin' kidding right? My league starter has an outright 20% less damage and 20% less minion duration, and my bosskiller build has 30% less damage... this is ABSOLUTELY a nerf... it's NOT "simpler but more powerful" That statement is a flat out lie. These don't kill my builds completely, but they are NERFS.

It's bad enough that you left us still saddled with the bleeding anal cancer conqueror system of progressing the atlas... it's just adding insult to injury to nerf my builds at the same time.

Oh no, now my minions take 3 seconds to AoE entire screen with a budget of 5 EX instead of 1. DEAD GAME!!!!

Well thank you so much for clarifying, that's the only thing that i wanted (Decent Honesty)

Love you bex :D

Big Streamers tryin to tell us harvest is the real buff, fuck that. if thats the case remove it entirely. its rng friend got 1 alva corr room in 3.5 months, so harvest- gettin good recipes is pure rng.

Half of the post is flat out lies and the other half calling us stupid. Yea so very honest..

Buffs=Nerfs? Where are 40 buffed skills? It was a big lie?

The idea that developers don’t make mistakes and we should trust them is misguided. We are the customers and therefore if we are unhappy they by definition made a mistake. It’s not our job to like what they’ve done it’s their job to provide something that we like. That’s the software business. And I’m speaking from a position of experience as a product developer and owner

Perhaps it’s too soon to know for sure these changes are bad, but by the looks of it they most likely aren’t making the game any more fun or accessible to new players like myself. At the very least it looks like the game will take longer and the economy will be more expensive as a result of these changes.


The explanation of the nerfs with hand wavy and concepts from psych 101 is painful to listen to. The CM needs to be honest with what they did and say they’ll keep an eye on the state of the game and adjust as necessary rather than insist they’ve done no wrong, baldly lie to our faces about buffs that don’t actually exist to counteract the nerfs, and tell us the skills that literally define the game are fillers.

Well, that’s my opinion at least.
