What's all the fuss about with the nerfs?
|
The biggest issue is gameplay is projected to slow down.
Even if movement skills become better, defenses have become worse so you're just heading into a 1 shot faster than you were before. It's sad the community can not collectively see when something is bad. GGG will always find a way to make people play but this new patch is not it. They built a playerbase who has decided to play a certain way, now they are destroying almost all of those options. So if you get dopamine from doing the same thing with less resources, knock yourself out.. I personally won't be back for a couple of patches. It's going to take a lot more content than a cookie cutter amazon from diablo 2 and a bunch of support gems that probably suck and if they don't suck will get nerfed anyway to keep me playing this trash. |

" I'd say likely a little short term discomfort for a better long-term result. Let's be honest as well, this isn't 1.0, it's a prolonged beta for an unfinished game, things should and will be adjusted. Council of Ancients Staff

Even GGG said they cant test everything, that the best way to test things is by us players. So they dropped the nerf bat on all the stuff that was played a lot because they have the data they wanted/needed on those interactions. So basically now we are Beta testers for the new content coming out in 0.20. Much easier to collect and review data if the player base is playing/using the things you wish to beta!!! |

" I stop counting the destroyed builds since poe1 alpha,first 4 years i got mad sometimes. But now we have these "special pro gamer" around, i never notice that much bull**** in forum (looks close to blizzard forum now) But thats the flip coin of a larger community.Maybe its getting better in time. |
