Please revert the SOLO play nerf !

people playing in groups are already at an advantage and now they make a lot more and will corner the market locking solo players out it will be the same terrible "quantity" ruined economy all over again

This. After a hard day of work I just want to kill mobs, not find a group willing to make place for a shift worker with varying online times.

This could be the death of PoE

the servers can't even handle group play well! the game becomes impossible to see anything and migraine inducing noise with low FPS and instances crash..

I agree the servers can't handle groups and the most players' PC's can't handle the effects of another player let alone another 5. Also, parties already have the advantage that map/scarabs/Kirac mods spending currency once for six players on a map basically saving 100's of chaos versus what six solo players have to do each map, but now they also get the same amount of currency drop in the maps as well.

The economy is going to be in shambles if this isn't reverted. I understand it is due to gold drops in group play, but there has to be a better change than this like creating a "bound currency" item type and tweaking that stat.

what nerf are you talking about? i cant remeber having read or seen anything regarding this

nvm found it....

its bad and they either panic over something,communitcated badly or wanted to hide it in "updates" that moest ppl wont read or see

not sure which of the options it worse

exactly! they can increase ONLY gold for groups to fix that without making them WAAAY too strong that they buy up all the crafting currency and scarabs and lock out the rest

I'm curious if people even understand what the change does or if this is the same stupidity like we had with scarabs last league and people being fully convinced that scarabs, no matter the type, are only ever worth using in T17s.

+1 if they dont undo the party play buff im skipping this league

they really fucked up with that one

its sounds really bad for solo players and they have done bad decisions like this before,
but it could just be poorly worded

they might even had the right intentions with it,but usually they fuck up these kind of changes and fix them 2 weeks in when the "worst" group play "abusers" have already made enough currency from it

sure these "abusers" arent breaking rules,it still feels horrible for ppl who cant or dont want to play that way because the difference in profit is so big

What does that have to do with my question?

The outrage comes from players seeing "100% currency" and for some reason think they doubled currency for groupplay because they don't understand the change nor the wording.
