0.1.0d Patch Notes

I played D2, D3, and Diablo 4. I just switch over to POE and was building my very first cold sorceress. Who ever had the idea to get rid of cast on freeze should be fired. You are so out of touch with what us as gamers want. This game is a leap in front of D4 but you just took a step backwards. And you not fixing it, shame on you!

Let us play the game players want.
Stop making things useless and force us to niche builds or brain dead, boring ones.
Also you are contradicting your own words during presentation by nerfing things to the ground.

I didn't look at guides, streamers, or any external sources. I went into the game blind and naturally found myself at CoF Comet for crowd clear. Log into after the patch to find my sorceress bricked beyond compare and unplayable. Grand total of 10k gold, equipment is all Ice based. The only non-ice spell i use is lightning warp. Literally am forced to reroll if i want to continue playing the EA as a sorc. There were far more conservative ways to handle cast on- builds than just making them pointless and unusable.

If you're going to butcher an entire archetype, please at least give us a free respec and uncut gems to get off the ground again. I understand this is an EA but that's 40 hours of my time, wasted.

This wouldn't bother me if it was on my fault. Half my characters are rejects that caused me to reroll, and that's fine. I made builds that didn't work. Having 40 hours of my time wasted by no fault of my own however is incredibly disheartening and makes me question the direction the EA is going.

The sandbox that POE delivers with the immense amount of skills and combinations and passive points probably has the biggest impact on why POE is so successful.

Trying to force us into a theme park ride where every second you experience is heavily narrated strongly goes against your customer target group..

Let - people - have - fun.

Fun should be nr. 1 Prio with everything else behind it. Every succesful game proves that

One small step for GGG.
One giant stepback for mankind of Wraeclast.

Any respond from ggg?

What u expecting? They don't care about players, they just care about they pockets.

This is going to be a huge PR disaster.

What can devs do now?

They didnt revert the huge CoX murder in 24hrs.

They'll have to stick with the changes and sometime in the future tune the CoX back to a playable state.

and look at the flame of playerbase, its beyond salvation.

I mean, I am just really surprised that after all the flaming that the devs didn’t have PR and coders on standby ready for the likely backlash and how after all this time they still haven’t said a peep. They should definitely have already provided free respecs by now, especially since they promised they would in these sorts of situations.

During launch they were very prompt with providing responses but now that they’ve received players money it’s just radio silence. I expect there are already thousands of players applying for refunds yet they continue to remain silent, seriously where is the damage control??? Must be absolute chaos behind the scenes at GGG with everyone running around like headless chickens not knowing what to do and no one competent enough to make an executive decision.

The worst part is that the payer place is not probably not only mildly bleeding right not but haemorrhaging players with the consequence that many will not return. Hard to believe GGG didn’t learn from the past failures of other studios and in one fell swoop plummeted from GoaT to Blizzard tier and decimating most of their accumulated good.

then why would they make changes that ruin entire builds and make people stop playing? GGG may have bad patches and takes from time to time but they respond to player shit more than most companies.

I hate that they killed most ways to use cast on x spells but god somehow your take is worse.
