0.1.0d Patch Notes

I never understood GGG's philosophy of nerfing things ASAP. Like I can understand you guys immediately hotfixing unintended interactions or bugs that make certain skills way stronger than they should, but to simply obliterate a skill just because it was "meta"? Too fun? Too popular? At least if you plan to do so give these people a few weeks to have some fun and then maybe nerf it with your next major patch.

COMPLETELY STUPID
I'm very curious about what a brain-fucked person is responsible for managing so called "balance" in this game, and it seems that he never play the game he operated on.
Although in a EA game many adjustments are acceptable, you are too eager to nerf everything you think is "unintended". However, those "unintended" IS the most precious things players can only enjoy from POE, and not Blizzard games. If you are passionate about TEACH players, I TEACH you what to do:
1. stop developing POE2, and letting all members of GGG watching those famous POE youtubers all the time
2. when youtubers published a video, nerfing their builds by 99% damage reduced, because those builds are "unintended". Of course, no explanation, no players communication, no applogizes, no further improvements, and no free re-spec.
3. keep nerfing until there is 0 online players, and then you could close your studio, then update your CV to apply for jobs at Blizzard, because at now you have been the ultimate master of TEACHING players.

As a fascinate player of POE1, I never think the successor of my favourite game and my favourite game company would be like this oneday, you are becoming what you should have hate at most.
The threshold of such frequent nerfing and adjustment should be COMPLETELY free re-spec, why in a EA game players can't choose their builds as they want? Does the gold economy should be tested so early even though you completely losing control of the most basic system: skills? And if you forget what you have done in POE1, I TEACH you: even a build is OP, they can still be used in this league and get nerfed in the next league, and characters in the standard league would receive free re-spec when passive skills are changed.

Blood Witch is trash after this nerf and also cant reroll Ascendancy so what should i do? i wanna play witch but dont wanna level up another same char.... also no full respec after this nerf rly?

So did u employ some blizzard runaways or wtf with you GGG? There is no fucking way some1 tested this change and said YEAH ITS FINE GO ON GOOD CHANGE GOOD WORK GUYS.

We have all seen this before. History keeps repeating itself.

Mike Morhaime and 2 other guys start a gaming company of a family loan, go on to make some of the greatest computer games in gaming history. Amazing team of creative people. Then founders sell to a large studio and the decline starts eventually putting lipstick on a pig and selling it as a beautiful woman.

Chris Wilson and a band of friends start a game in his garage. Go on to create a masterpiece and develops a loyal base for over a decade. Then sells to a large studio (Tencent) and the decline begins. Now we get lipstick on a pig (flashy visuals, beautiful art but hollow game play and terrible decisions)

This is literally the classic story of a game studio.

Im a new player to POE community but just 5 days into the game, which I was so looking forward to, my character got deleted and I feel like you GGG totally have no respect to players.
What you are doing is exactly how Blizzard killed D4, or even worse than that. Just 5 days into the game now I think I might quit it for awhile since I dont know what to do next.
Start a new character, play a good build and get destroyed again?
With the recent patch, it is clear that players are losing trust in GGG and thousands will quit the game.
What a self destructive move from you!!!

I would say the amount of butthurt people that cry about the fact that an EARLY ACCESS changes stuff up to shape the game more in the direction the devs want it to be would be insane to me...

Then i remember that its a loud minority and POE2 still pulls 450k players on steam alone. Even after being declared dead by the crybabies over and over since day 1.


Tho i guess they might need to think about lowering/removing respec costs for the early access. Its makes players less salty after a build changing... change (damn im good with words) and might even help find more problematic stuff since more players are enticed to play around and try new stuff in the skill tree.

It's not that Cast on Freeze was so good, it's that everything else is so bad. THAT'S the problem. And that makes Cast on Freeze stand out when everything else is crap.

nmsl,GGG

Keep nerfing! =D

We will keep leaving and you will go to bench with d4 and talk about your mistsakes.

We want fun game and that means STRONG characters FUN builds and cool BOSSES
Fun is not Weak characters,SLOW-UNFUN builds and cool BOSSES.

....i`m not gonna farm 500k gold here just to respec into the next build they nerf (500k gold is like 2 weeks farming with my current cast on freeze char that cannot run maps anymore)

GGG does not respect our time...deleting my character without giving me money for respec was straight RUDE.

Poe1 = legendary
Poe2 = Could be something but they nerfed everything and i lost interest.

Maybe give a list of skills that will not be nerfed anymore so we can play something?
I mean is anything safe ?
Is there any point of playing now?
15hours campaign just to get delete-Nerfed?
????
What takes less time farming gold for Respec or creating new char from 1lvl
??????
