A lot of people ree'ing out over aurabot nerfs as if they aren't playable, multiplayer is dead now, and they're going to stop playing poe forever - again.

1) You can still play with your friends, they haven't been val'd.
2) You can still play aurabots with your friends, and even if they're 1/10th as strong as before, those group spending mirrors will still crunch everything.
3) See you at launch!


1) Nobody denied this. You cannot play the game in party EFFICIENTLY anymore. It will be just random skeleton summoners and RF juggernauts running around like in public parties.
2) If you think aurabots are still viable after this patch, you misunderstood something. The nerfs did not make aurabots 1/10 strong. With these numbers it is completely dead. Cursebot is killed, managuard is nerfed, str stacker is removed from the game. If aurabot was the only thing nuked, I would be so glad...
3) We shall meet in another game in the future. Cheers!


You shouldn't be able to be more efficient just because you happen to be able to get more people together. Next should be to require a breachstone or unique map from every party member that wants to enter the instance.


Are you also jealous for people who have wife and kids? Seriously, stop doing so for your own good. I will play games that allow me to have fun with my acquintances, if I enjoyed beating the computer I would just play chess against an engine nonstop. You make no sense here.

I don't want to bring up politics here, but... communism will never work in a game either, especially not if it economically relies on the capital market. GGG simply just goes around and randomly kills builds that people enjoy playing. If they redo this change about party play, I'll take back my statement.

Killing a specific poison build is ok. Nerfing minions a little and boosting gladiator a little is ok. Removing completely broken aspects of the game is ok. Balancing the game at the cost of nerfing stuff and adding new interesting things is ok.

But removing the entire multiplayer aspect except trading and rotas???
Sorry, that was too much for me to bare. You may enjoy playing, just stop blaming people that are rightfully mad. Thanks.

How to kill another aspect of endgame and stomp a 10+ mir build into history.


I played this build for 5 leagues now, improving it bit by bit every league.
About 15-20 mirrors of stuff, soon to be obsolete.

Aura effect gone from clusters, clusters unuseable.
i'd need 588% increased reservation efficiency on my gear to run all my 16 auras, which is impossible with 2% on jewels.

this leaves a bad taste in my mouth, you disregard the time i spent on this build in one single patch because reddit crybabies are complaining about party play. again and again you kill things in collateral from multiple angles.

the solution was so simple, lowering aura effect on others and leaving reservation alone as it impacts other builds aswell. now you probably ruined a bunch of builds with those changes, not just aurabots and stacking.

we'll wait and see how it plays out. If 3.16 is not the ultimate bomb league mechanic to make up for this loss, i will quit this game

The balance team and chris being out of touch with their game isn't the only reason why this game is going downhill.
The community is more toxic than ever, more so than the community of eve online. Alot of people i play with in standard are chill, but this? I can't imagine what goes through your head that you gain joy from sending me those pms, does it make you feel powerful or that you received some kind of twisted justice? Does it statisfy your jealousy?


Hahahaha



.....we are toxic because they are ruining the game....is that so hard to understand

Somehow all this aurabots who are posting here pretending that there was nothing wrong with party plays and they don't mention all the currency they were gathering by abusing party system. It isn't just "friends just playing in party", it is spamming 100% delirium maps, getting absurd amount of currency to dominate trade. You won't be missed.
Interesting, gonna be a real rough league but the changes seem so drastic that I'm really looking forward to figuring out a functioning build lol.

Feedback: Essence Worm unintentionally nerfed x3.5 times
"Essence Worm now grants 80% reduced Reservation Efficiency (not specific to mana), instead of 40% increased Reservation."
with 1 skill in 1 Essence Worm and no other reservation modifiers:
BEFORE you had 100/1.4=71.4% of mana reservation capacity left to use
AFTER you have just 20% of mana reservation capacity left to use
which is x3.5 less than before
I understand that it was an x2 formula applied but it is wrong in case of big negative values.
To keep the power of the ring at the same level it should be 30% reduced Reservation Efficiency, not 80%

Then how about fixing the real issue that is unfair currency drops instead? Or do you actually recommend cutting off your arm when it gets bitten by a mosquito?
