0.1.0d Patch Notes

You act like everybody just played COF because its Meta. I wanted to play a Ice Mage from the beginning, cause i played something like the comet build back in Diablo 3 and really liked it. It felt pretty strong but so do a lot of others things atm and i dont mind the nerf at all but the least they could do is provide a free respect. I dont see myself grinding another 50 hours for another character i like, just to be nerved by GGG the next day. Time is too valuable.

Suddenly the creation of one more character in Settlers seems to me like a great idea :D
I'll wait for some new positive introductions to PoE2 EA because right now, GGG is changing the game too violently, and with my couple of hours of game time in the evenings, I can't afford to change builds, read forums, plan respec, push a new character through this gigantic campaign, etc.

On a different note than the trigger gems. The ultimatum trial still needs work. The stages before/between bosses are better now, but the bosses are still a mess. At least for melee. I haven't seen the chimera yet, in spite of the numbers of attempts I have made but the other two are a disaster. Massive aoe's that just annihilate you if they hey. And they often will based on sheer volume on the Scourge of the skies, or that damn massive tornado on Bahlak.

I am not saying these bosses should be super easy or anything. But right now they are ludicrous. Bahlak really only needs a better telegraph for the tornado. But Scourge needs to have the frequency of its aoes reduced or for them to be weakened if they are going to be going off that often.

They should balance whichever way they think is correct. It is early access after all. The only argument that can be made here is to indeed give full respec to the people but that is a little tricky since who do you give it too ? Everyone ? That doesn't make much sense, not everyone is using it. How do you determine who is using the nerfed setups. You write some script that conditionally goes over ALL of the characters in the game to determine if they use cast on stuff, and give the a respec ? That would be a huge waste of time for them and pretty damn stupid tbh. :P

This is not feedback - this is whine

okay got it chief

so everyone giving their opinion about is is whine in your books

noted

Feedback is when you explaining what were affected, why, how etc

Whine is GIMME BACK MY EZ COOKIE CUTTER BUILD WHA WHA WHA

so in other words we need to do their job and tell them what is wrong

because they can't figure this out for themselfs ?

who is making the game here we or them ?

That Meta skill nerf was a bit heavy handed indeed. For gods sake you named it meta skill..... 97% for an average mob to 8% for Cast on freeze. Bro like 30% would have been fine, thats like one comet a pack instead of every 7. We were not getting procs in boss fights that much at all. After the freeze window freeze builds are running around like chickens until the next window and we proc'ed one comet... before the nerf. comon guys

Official notes about EARLY ACCESS (Steam ver.)
Path of Exile 2 is an Action RPG which is all about making powerful characters and getting epic loot. Finding the right balance for character builds, items and economy is crucial for this genre, and it cannot be achieved without showing the game in its current state to the community.
...
EA would be here as long as needed. We believe it will be at least 6 months
...
We need the community to give us feedback about game balance, the economy, and the overall game. We will be actively monitoring our forums, subreddit and social media and delivering updates continuously throughout the Early Access.

Stop pretending like you bought the FINAL RELEASE

You all KNEW what you are paying for and agreed with everything

you know if you are gonnna keep smashing things to bits then at least make respecing cost 1/100 of what it does now and let us change ascendancies so that when you do smash things into tiny bits we are not stuck farming on our bricked ass characters because you overnerfed the thing you thought was too strong.

I have no problem with changing my build or even starting a new character, it wouldn't be the first time because i had so many gimp builds that i've wasted entire weekends over on the first game. That was on me, i tested a game mechanic, fooled around and it failed miserably, which is part of the fun. Yet i have never ever had any of my characters gimped by the developers, this is what bothers me.

Obviously this patch has been pushed without any testing at all, otherwise even a junior dev should know that changing an input variable from 90 to 10 is a DRASTIC change that would break something heavily. It is never considered a nerf when it breaks a well-loved, long-time adopted game mechanic completely and renders it utterly useless.

It's not like i'm married to the "cast on x" gems. We want what we had in the first game; a free respec after a patch, that's all.

Edit: People accusing others of whining and thinking this is a beta game (it's early access, beta is already done) just for the sake of defending GGG here are being ridiculous at this point. We have a Turkish saying that can be roughly translated as "more royalist than the king" or "more catholic than the pope".
