Everyone crying knew it was overpowered and broken combination because they took it from some video they saw and should have expected it to get nerfed. Issue is on them for sticking with it

Utter bullshit. This was the only cold build that actually has decent clear, everything else sucks at the moment. I didn't look up a single build guide and still went CoF comet, what else are you going to do? The highest level cold spell hits like a wet noodle and manually casting comet takes 2 seconds while you stand still, which usually kills you against packs.

My sorc still shreds rares and bosses just fine, but I struggle against white mobs in packs. I can freeze them, I can cold snap, but if the mob survives that I'm struggling as all my main spells don't do enough damage, they all just freeze shit. And you can't freeze a white mob a second time, so no way to use the cold snap combo twice.

I was ready to hit maps today (End of Act 3 cruel) and now I can still progress, but it feels like limping through the map. There's just no way to reliably clear white mobs as cold sorc.

i dont get it. its early acces. if you gonna change the mechanic inside the game that you designed because somehow its too strong then at least give us free respec on skills and ascendency. or let us make trial again to change transcendency again so we can TRY NEW THINGS. its suppose to be a EA for making the best of it, trying diffferent stuff etc.

giveee free respeecccc!

I am ok of NERF or BUFFS, we are playing an EA that needs balancing, but I changed my build from cast on frez to cast on critical and you forget to nerf it and in the middle of a map after spending all my resources, in middle of doing a map my build just stop working, now I have a nice dummy that walks around the city.

AH! and all those people who say "You saw an OP mechanic in a video and you replicated it and now you cry because they nerfed it", GGG in a presentation video showed cast on freeze with COMETA!

Let us return all our points for free! It's an EA, you need people to test builds! and you can't fuck new players like that.

Why? Why brick a build that was hurting no one? Why cause so many to simply request a refund? Was it worth it? To go down as the shittiest flop of all time? I've supported this company since Alpha of Poe. I'm completely flooded because I thought you were smart people. That's for the quick refund.

They said pre-EA that they were going to be focused on nerfing anything that becomes excessively powerful during the EA period.

I 100% agree they should be handing out respecs and its shit that they haven't yet, but people should be expecting any builds they make that could be deemed "meta" to be eating the bat at some point.

What are you talking about. People have had their characters deleted. What's the point of playing at all? I did not copy this build from anyone, I came up with it myself, I come in the afternoon and can not kill even a couple of monsters, what are you talking about. Do I need to delete a character and push in a new one? You're a retard for saying that.

You didn't even read the other post properly and tries to put words in his mouth for no reason. So what on earth do you want, that isn't a respec?

Stop defending them, up until this point you didn't have to pay money to enter the game. They got mandatory payment and destroyed what people were spending their time on.

You are so lost I don't even have words for it. Just for the sake of me maybe not understanding the term "early access" correctly, I googled it to see what the general idea of it is.

Even the wikipedia article says (in the very first paragraph):
"Early access, also known as alpha access, alpha founding, paid alpha, or game preview, is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can purchase and play a game in the various pre-release development cycles, such as pre-alpha, alpha, and/or beta, while the developer is able to use those funds to continue further development on the game. Those that pay to participate typically help to debug the game, provide feedback and suggestions, may have access to special materials in the game."

What exactly are you not understanding here? People paid to participate in a testing phase to get an early taste for the game and be able to send feedback and so on. It's expected to have radical changes during the earlier stages, else there wouldn't be much happening at all. Call it whatever you want, I think it's somewhere between alpha and beta while a whole bunch of you here think it's a pre-release ticket to play the game in it's final form... What are you going to say when you find out that all of your hours spent in early access won't even migrate to PoE2's standard league?

Crashing randomly still after loading.

It is "access". And that does not mean that my time is not valuable. If you think this is what EA needs to look like, the logical conclusion is not to play if I value my time.

I doubt GGG want that.

The point of EA is to provide feedback. Here is the feedback: This approach of balancing was shit. Give free respecs to get more feedback. Give no free respec to get none, because people will stop playing.

Can we get some sort of fix for Blood Mage please? It's literally a complete joke right now...

It's hilarious to literally read someone say "I saw such and such streamer/youtuber doing this after a previous nerf so I followed them blindly to CoC from CoF" and then proceed to watch CoC get nerfed and them cry about it. Thanks for the laughs GGG the game is still amazing. Maybe try being more original with your builds instead of blindly following along content creators crazy I know.

your whole comment makes me laught because its just stupid....

i mean i couldnt care less i dont play a build that needs CoC or CoA but have you ever thought about it that it also hit weaker builds ? many player are complaining because they used CoC or CoA in their build and they didnt played a "streamer" build they made their own but i guess your brain is just to small to realize that
