Should HOWA be nerfed? (never mind, I didn't know it already was nerfed!)
|
I've been learning about your game balance design choices and I love that you are learning from POE 1 and trying to rein in exponential DPS scaling. But HOWA exists and is so powerful that "everything becomes HOWA" - so just curious what other players will say regarding this, should HOWA be nerfed? I also noticed a lack of a life wheel on the passive tree, and am not opposed to GGG constricting things in order to tighten the gap between top tier meta builds and home-brewed builds.
*edit* never mind guys, my apologies, I didn't know it has already been nerfed! Thanks for letting me know. Last edited by Boozbaz#3713 on Jun 11, 2025, 1:05:16 PM Last bumped on Jun 11, 2025, 7:17:45 PM

HOWA already been massively nerfed that it's not even BIS unless massively stacking attribute.

Ehm, wut?
It alrdy got nerfed heavily. And while it's still a powerful unique most builds will go for triple flat dmg rare gloves as flat dmg is king in the current meta. |

So because this is one of the 0.01 % good unique in the pool, and it already been heavily nerfed, they should simply brick it right?
No, absolutely not. In fact, they should buff every other uniques massively. Today, like everyday I've been playing this game for the last month, all the uniques I have found got transformed into shard, is this the expected experience a player should encounter playing? I'm losing so much faith in the future of the game, and the saddest thing is, I'm highly positive that for every 100 thread that ask for a buff, almost zero will see a fix. But when it comes to a nerf request, you can bet that even if it's only a single user asking for it, they will absolutely go and nerf it. |

" Yes. And somehow making it worse is that since 0.2.1, i find significantly more uniques so i find myself running back to town more to disenchant them. In any case, out of the thousands of uniques i've picked up so far in the last months, only a handful were not garbage, so that's an issue. And i would even argue that the rate at which uniques drop since 0.2.1 is too high. Here i was, thinking they should feel 'unique' PS : No, they shouldn't nerf HOWA. They should buff it. Significantly. Having lost items like pre-nerf HOWA being in the game has made the game feel a whole lot less fun and removed the drive to play. And no, none of the new recently introduced uniques are anywhere near as interesting as pre-nerf HOWA and others and they sure don't make me want to go and find them This game is getting worse and worse with every patch they've thrown out since the 0.2 vision debacle and i don't think it'll end well if they keep up this reluctance to make something that most have been asking for [url=http://ibb.co/WpDD8K6T][img]http://i.ibb.co/qF00q1dZ/1681807032435.jpg[/img][/url] Last edited by keppie#6373 on Jun 11, 2025, 12:56:34 PM

" I loled... srsly someone came to forum complaining on a ytb video? |

" Unless you're a moderator or get hired by GGG, you're not in a strong position to make demands on other people's behavior on these forums. After reading the comments about it already being nerfed, I recognized my own mistake, apologized for it, edited the title of the thread, edited my original post, and will manage my own behavior.
