Character Balance in Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra
I'm one of those newcomer which played your game for the very first time this league.
As I'm really lacking the knowledge of most of the game mechanics (I literally copy/pasted what a youtuber showed me and started to gather knowledge during the league) I cannot comprehend how your changes will affect the game. One thing, though, I can definitely understand. If you nerf the flask modifiers which let you obtain charges when hit I'll stop playing. There is one big thing that is definitely not funny to anyone. And that is to have to click 10 different buttons every few seconds to play a build. The game is already complex and convoluted by itself and you are forcing people to manually hit their flasks, which is not fun at all. In most endgame content you have 100 mobs at a time on your video and need to focus on their "skills" to avoid getting one-shotted or "ailmented to 0". Nerfing those modifiers (I'm referring to the flask's modifiers) will destroy a streamlined process that let you not worry about your flasks (I bet 99% of the people which don't have a mageblood are using the enchantment that activates the flasks when full to mitigate finger/arm's stress and to concentrate on what is really happening on video). Killing that streamlined process will force me out of the game. I could understand and accept your change if your game was designed differently and you could play slow and kill one mob at a time. But this isn't the case as you need to kill 100 at a time and progress/move faster and faster within the map to have the bare minimum of fun (find me a player that consider fun moving in slow motion for instance...). There are moo many stuff We already have to pay attention to. We don't need another stress (activating those flasks manually). Please, reconsider this change as it is not needed at all and would prevent the players from enjoying the game for no reason. Why you considered this thing to be an issue in the first place is a mistery to me. It's a damn QoL enhancement of the gameplay itself. It should be a feature for everyone to enjoy instead of a luxury. And you thought about destroying it (as you know 3 charges when hit are not really enough to sustain the "automatic" activations of flasks). |

" Dont worry just farm a few mirrors and minions will be op. Only elitist allowed playing this game. Go away scrubs! /s | |
As an avid Necromancer player, the proposed Manifesto changes are a complete joke. Why don't you just delete the Ascendency all together at this point?

" and this is why is only played 1-2 weeks at leaguestart. i had alot of fun in archnemesis. bus the sentinel league killed it for me. an looks like the next one getting even worse. It#s okay. the worse the game gets, the more private time i got lol |

nerfy, as usual, will continue to play tho and seek other metas
No to conditional challenges on top of RNG pure luck mechanics.

" I'm sure some Uber boss will get buffed, don't worry, you get your buffs... Lmao | |
Every class wins the Gauntlet Race with Seismic Trap and the skill remains by far the strongest skill in the game. It's just hypocritical to keep reading that the problem are unpopular skills that should be played more often.
The defense, which is still sufficient against umpteen opponents because they are on drugs, is weakened. There will be the same meta defence choices, but there will be weaker as last league. Furthermore there is no diversity in POE. Maybe Trickster rework will hype me a little, but to know GGG is making this stupid way makes POE unattractive for me. |

So GGG makes a popular build, it becomes meta, GGG creates many MTX for the popular build, people buy many MTX - then GGG kills the build, collects the money, washes and repeats.
Follow up question - when GGG kill my build the one that i paid $$$ for MTX - can i get a refund? I mean build is no longer playable, MTX is unusable. GGG any comment on me getting my refund for skeleton MTX? How about SRS mtx? Should i write to customer support i think |
