I’m sure it has been a rough week, but this explanation is now 2 weeks late, and that is why you’ve had a shit week. At least in 3.15 you had the balls to get out ahead of the nerfs, and so maintained the communities respect to a large extent. You can f****** forget that this time.

Even I'm feeling disappointed, betrayed and insulted from everything happened in the last weeks, I feel for you Chris and for every person from GGG, and I'm really sorry for everything that you are passing thru.

But, the truth is that if GGG suffers, is only because GGG made a huge mistake.

Quoting Asmongold: "those playing PoE are that kind of people able to watch 30 min video without nothing inside then a spreadsheet, and feel they are playing". This is a community of mostly high educated adults, that are searching in the game something totally different then a lot of other ARPG on the market are offering. Mathil said "If I wanted to play D2, I was playing D2 Remastered, not PoE". Ben said "If I wanted to gamble, I was in Las Vegas now, not in PoE".

We don't want a game like ... something else. We just loved this game as it was: a lot of builds to discover, build theory, theory crafting, new mechanics to dissect, understand and even exploit (not in an illegal way) each time. We have limited time and we want zoom-zoom, we want loot explosion, we want deterministic crafting, we want diversity because this is funny for us and also is giving us the extra time for playing in PoB (that is almost half of our time and gameplay).

I'm waiting the GGG explanations (even they are so late), but I'm very sure that I will not find there anything about GGG acknowledging that his playerbase have different needs than any other playerbase of game on the actual or past market.

So, I will ask polite from GGG, beside the explanation, to tell us open this time, if this game will be further developed for this playerbase, or it will go on the commercial road, like most ARPG from the market. Please, stop lie us and start to understand that you are talking with "nerds", not with kids. Is hard, even impossible, to PR us. We need fairness, transparency and to be heard.

Hope you will have a more chill week further. All the best for you and your team.

Just remove Archnemesis .

or i remove game :)

rare harder than map bosses is philosophically wrong

Thanks GGG... 80% was high. New numbers looks like it will alleviate excessive tediousness.

No mention of the Heralding Minions though ? Those pilons that pop up out of nowhere and shotgun you, is too much. Especially for builds where you HAVE to stand still to cast. Then they all spawn right on top of you.

League specific rares still drop snake shit loot.

Archnemesis modifiers are meant to make combat more challenging.

Having a boss killer build and getting one shot out of the blue is not challenging. It is simply nonsense. The bosses should be the challenging part. Not some enemies at the map.

it has been a bit of a week

Same for us...

Still need more nerf.

For example, can you guys delete the on death effect? It is super frustrating. Or at least cancel the homing ability of those on death effect.

Also the lightning image is super annoying.

I do not know why it is so hard to remove the league i know you guys worked hard and we all appreciate it but honestly at this point you gotta cut your losses here, your resistance in defending these godawful changes are actually hurting every aspect of the game and your philosophy on this topic should change the amount of damage keeping these mods done to overall game is unimaginable and just because you cant see it right now doesnt mean that they arent there this league's backlash is nothing compared to what will happen in 3.20 cycle and its worrying
