Content Update 3.15.0 -- Path of Exile: Expedition

wow they found a way to make melee even worse than it already is.

The eagles are coming...the eagles!!!

GGG: close enough to eagles...

You did too many weird and all in all bad things to us. Spellslinger gone kills it for me. Hypothermia gone for cold dot builds. No Idea what you guys are thinking. I wish I could play 3.13 again. I was waiting for the notes to descide wheter to spent my 90 bucks. Again I won't. But I would have loves to. Crazy how much I can't stand your descisions about whats good to the game.

GGG, I'd pay you to play 3.13 again.

Where is the nerf to streamer accounts being flagged for better drop rates & higher rng chances?

Still trying it but this patch seems as fun as hitting my balls with a hammer, I guess I know what kind of hobby chris has :)

They destroyed several of the support gem's with the text changes like hypothermia and swift affliction. They should honestly be embarrassed to have made these changes, it shows such a lack of understanding of their own game that its not even funny.

first time for two years i have time to play MY GAME, but i don't want anymore.
now all free time for TES3 Morrowind!

gl next leage!

It's pretty sad to see that you pushed players so far with the nerfs that a lot of commentaries, both here and in the development manifesto post (some deleted by mods) are expressing hopes that Tencent will intervene and remove the original dev team from the future decisions regarding the game.

Considering the "good" reputation the Chinese company has in the West when it comes to monetization of games and other "fair' business practices, this should be a huge red flag for Chris and Co. It's like WOW players would hope that EA will come and save them from Blizzard. Of course, the difference being that EA doesn't own WoW.

I can understand that GGG wants to have a game close to old Diablo, but i don't think that reversing years of evolution toward a fast paced ARPG, by butchering everything that makes the game fun, is the right way.

Kill fast or die in one shot was the philosophy behind all the game mechanics for a long time. Now you propose a game with the speed of the 90's, nerfed to dust skills and supports and no practical way to mitigate damage (except HH and aurabots), but with buffed mobs and bosses and unmodified game mechanics for them.

Of course, i am not a game developer, i am not a business man, i'm just a casual player who wants to enjoy few hours of fun gameplay every week. I may be wrong and the new league will be an unprecedented success. Or a disaster. I presume we will all see soon. Anyway, these were my 10 cents :)

This patch makes Sacred 3 look good.

Headsman: Now called Bane of Legends.

WTF

These changes may have killed poe for me. I have honestly never felt too powerful so these nerfs just feel completely unjustified. Then again I have never reached meta crafted gear level so I am guessing they are nerfing the game around that, which is just pathetically stupid. I might give the game a go at some point in the future but not if this is the direction the game is going.
