This way of writing patch notes is terrible, the level of unclear things changes, or which value was changed how much is pathetic...

Balance changes =/= Patch Notes.

YES! Thank you for addressing the spell bow shenanigans. I could not stand the fact people were using bows and quivers as a spell caster. It made no sense from a fantasy standpoint. I like to stick to specific themes and the game should be that way too. Good job guys!

I consider myself a new and unexperienced player. Started on harvest. Have 3k hours in the game (2k with non afk maybe)
That being said:
I can't make builds myself, so i need to go with guides and videos to be able to achieve good things in the game.
But since i started, ive only experienced pain with those tweaks.


The builds i try are the popular ones, more guides about them. And after trying it, having fun, its so much different on the next league, with the tweaks and nerfs.

I've tried making builds myself, but it was all a waste of time since i don't have proper game knowledge to try that.

I understand you know better and need to tweak what you think will be better for the game. But please remember us noobs are kinda tied up to popular builds, and hard tweaks on them will make us a lit bit lost.

New player with x4 96+ characters.. interesting I think you will remain 100% unaffected

Will explody chest nerf effects existing items as well?

Also curious about this. I made sure to farm out a bunch of them in SSF before harvest is removed. Would suck if that work just gets deleted essentially. Not sure how items go "legacy" or if the mod just automatically converts to the changed state with the patch.

Atlas Mission Sustain
We've removed the bonus mission chance from Awakening objective bonuses, as Atlas passives combined with this bonus and other mechanics were resulting in an almost endless supply of missions.

yeah, this is such a big problem when somebody can actually do the content he PREFERS, right???

Everything that I was doing as a casual player to make exalts in this game by playing meta has been nerfed.

I think it's time to find a new game, I just can't seem to master this one because it changes too much.

so ur leaving a game because u can't make a lot of money anymore? alright then maybe u like torchlight 3!

Kinda funny talking about leaving the game and going to torchlight while you got 13 challanges yourself this league means you probably not even leveled to 90.

Also I checked your characters highest lvl is 92 on standard with average joe gear so why do you even speak about something you didn't get to in the game? I know it is hard when someone has better life / money / CURRENCY IN VIDEO GAME but lets not be stupid out of jealousy ok? :)

some people don't even try to get challenges lol i have all the mtx i need so why should i go for challenges in stead having fun playing my way?

and good for you that ur richer big whoop? i bet i have more fun trying out fun stuff instead only playing meta builds u probably didn't even make your self.

also i stop caring about exp after like level 85 x'D and yes i have low life so what? maybe i don't care/need as much as you? could probably get level 96/98 if i would only play one toon the whole league and not having fun because of it becoming boring to me. also could be a lot richer if i didn't hate trading to much and yeah if i was poor like you irl i might go for more challenges to get em free crappy mtx x'D weird flex dude but whatever strokes ur ego right?

Looks like I'm playing Standard until they get their act together.

Why would you nerf quivers? That makes literally no sense. Who cares about crit multi from a quiver for spellcasters? There are already hundreds of other cases like this that you did not "fix". You only nerfed quivers because you saw poe.ninja top 100 list of Toxic Rain and blade vortex chars using harvest crafted quivers and did a knee-jerk reaction without thinking.

What a shame.

PoE "balance" in a nutshell ...
I will never forget what they did to full chaos conversion builds because poison was OP ... only to nerf poison 6 months later and never buff chaos conversion again. Voltaxic Spark R.I.P. never forgotten.

Oh my God. Swinging a piece of wood around that is curved instead of straight to summon lightning is heresy ... OK "muh immersion" dude.
