Not everyone plays like you, just remember it.
I picked skill in this league that only looks cool, made 93 level on it (with my best character ever have 95), killed few non-uber bosses, farmed mechanics I like and had a fun time. The only thing I didn't like was immunity affixes that GGG nerfed pretty fast.
I will do it again in next league with a pleasure.

With such approach nerfs/buffs have almost no effect on your gameplay and in-game experience, so why do you want the nerfs then?

Because you cannot make every build in this game to be strong. It is impossible.
Rotation in meta builds brings fresh breath to the game. Thats how it works in other games.
A little bit disappointed in number of buffed skills.

Maybe, the RNG nature of the game dictates you could get it on the first attempt or the 10,000th. You use trades to make up for it. Minion builds have always been very strong and they will continue to be strong I simply wouldn't worry this much about it.

I think what we each consider as strong varies on the players understanding of the game and the scope of which they want to complete content. On paper every skill in the game is 100% viable if you're willing to put in the effort to make it work. Some skills definitely require more work then others and I think that's where the challenge of the game ultimately lies. Smashing the entire game shouldn't be easy to reach period, the whole point of playing the game is seeing how strong you can make yourself and crossing the threshold of making the game trivial should always be possible but needs to have a process to reach, and that process needs to be enjoyable and I think that is where most of the emotional reaction comes from when people think about the game.

Do you think you, talking about competition is going to help the argument? I really do not understand why people argue about a global situation, and somehow they make it personal. Be nice, state your opinion and bring constructive ideas. Wishing for D4 so GGG would change their mind, it is kind of childish.

It has nothing to do with competition, but you bragging the game is easy and having no ground to stand on. Belittling people will get you called out.

You are referring to the guy who you were talking. I never bragged about anything. That was my first entry in the conversation. You had the argument with another guy. :) And for me the game is not easy. It gets easier with time.

I just hope someday GGG will see the light and remove Archnemesis from the game. I started in Harbinger league and I've never felt so annoyed while playing the game. I skipped most of Archnemesis league's content, got the challenges and never opened one again, and now they're everywhere. I know it'll probably never happen but I just had to say it, f*** me, it is so obnoxious. Trying to pick up your loot and having to run around dodging stuff following you or waiting ungodly strong ground degens to expire after you've already killed the monsters is not challenging, is not engaging and is not fun GGG, it is just annoying.

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

Tired of the minion build nerfs... What you basically are saying is this:
If you are rich, you will have more minion damage than before because you can afford the items, otherwise you will get nerfed. The rich get rewarded with more power (as if they need it) and everyone else playing minions will be penalized.

Just like in real life, those with all the wealth get even more power and wealth, while the poor must be kept down.

Just make "STARTER" build to farm on character you do not want to play LOOOOOOL.

Do GGG think that everyone plays as well and as much as top streamers ? I just want to come home after work and enjoy the game if I wanted to be beaten up all the time, I would go to boxing.

What does the number of league challenges completed have to do with having an opinion about a game you like playing?

Half the people I met in Sentinel that had 35+ challenges spent the first two weeks of the league running currency bots.
When players can't be bothered to pursue the challenges or get them naturally through playing, that's not because of players, that's entirely league design choices or challenge design choice.
Sentinel was one of the worst designed challenge system requiring multiple Atlas respecs of buying challenges. Neither is organic or good design.

tell that to majority of all streamers that they themselves are totally disappointed.

This is far the worst reaction the game has ever received.
Instead of pleasing the game community because PoE2 is coming and blizzard diablo4 is coming too this 2023 not to mention diablo immortal earning 1m$ per day.


They are pissing their own playerbase instead, this game company has a poor marketing strategy that i wont be even wonder if diablo4 has more playerbase even though its paytoplay compare to poe2 which is free2play but i guarantee you diablo4 will have more playerbase.

They fuckedup way to big this time.

Goodluck to their playerbase and PoE2
