My most hated game.
My most favorite game.
Such is the duality of man.

1. Sir ... why have developer take care about items value?

2. - but mr. Chris just want game more hard, bcs here we have 4-5 OP builds/uniques/mechanics. And everyone copy that to complete game - FAST!!!

3. They dont make balance! They just give lil nerf to some OP build and add HP to bosses and monters. Thats all.

Dont know what they smoke in GGG


1. Someone clearly read with missing words...
PLAYER PERSPECTIVE... With harder craft process good results will have more value and cost.

2. Tbf. Easy game becomes boring really fast... And they still kinda want to get some profit from their work. Longer people play - more money they get. In current capitalistic reality $$$ rule all. Your opinion as player means nothing unless it have a possibility of bringing $$$. And many people will not play game with same 4-5 OP builds each league, so they must make diversity

3. Excuse me? Nerfing OP builds is easiest possible way to balanse things with that big numbers of them. Nerfing is balance in that case... And about buffs, hey, it is MANIFESTO, not patchnotes. We don't know anything about buffs!
Also you clearly played too little of games with such type balancing. It is too easy to overtune... And one small change (like really small) can make unusable thing into OP stuff sometimes. So you as balancer always must be careful to make changes



I understand you. But its solo player game. If here exists builds, what can kill end boss in 1sec, so there is no big diff if this build kill it in 1,5 sec (GGG nerfs right now).
Next thing is, this is balance from SC stats. Holy moly its TRADE SC ... where you can buy everything. There is no fear of death!
What we have now : most players play 14 days - 1 month of league, just for challenges (on SC, with copy build where they buy everything on trade)
That rly cant change, when they make others skills good and strong.
Maybe just more players try more skills.
Show me skiller with 40 EZ challenges on SC how this hero make it on SSF HC.
Bcs just SSFHC can show you how good is balanc. That only show, what can player do alone in single player game.

From 60 friends on HC stay play this game cca. 6? And 4 of them play this game before 2 months :D
Players this game play for 2 things : profit and challenges rewards. Not for fun, and thats true.

When you watch PoE trailer ... its rly funny :D
They say : MAKE YOUR OWN UNIQUE BUILD .... hahahahaaaa.
Nooo, everyone run on ninja builds and thats all :D This is how PoE looks today.
Maybe I'll try the league but I'm sure I will be done after 1 or 2 weeks. For sure, I will not support GGG this time. Nerf are ok but not like this...
No fun = no money, pretty simple !
So much salt and tears. Most of those broken builds weren't even fun. PoE just like every other game is meant to be fun. Everyone just jumped on the bandwagon because it was so broken and popular, among other things - now it has been fixed. Learn to play and enjoy the game without the need for massive investment. I am happy to see these broken and overpowered builds getting nerfed. However, just like every other league, there will always be a few 'new' builds to replace them. Just wait and see. I am looking forward to the new league, GGG team. Cheers.
I like poe but what the GGG doing is some kind of misunderstanding, they confuse balance with nerfs = unplayable every league.

I'm waiting for D2 and after D4 there are no nerfs in the league :P :D

I strongly regret investing money in microtransactions.

Do you really feel you did not get your money's worth in all those years?
Even if these latest changes ruin the game for you, surely the time you spent until now was worth it?

I loved Harvest, it brought diversity and allowed meme builds...

That doesn't parse.


Maybe it's time to try a different play style, start a new character? It can really be fun, you have all the progression and gear goals again. Seriously, you should try it.
May your maps be bountiful, exile

You know when people tried more builds?
When they could make them viable with harvest craft.
Now thats gone, back to the 3 meta builds.
