3.26.0c Patch Notes

I sure am glad i skipped this league pretty much after reading this. Was obvious that GGG is gonna kill playermercs and juice enemymercs.

Would be great if they fixed the issue causing GPU failure. I've done so much to try to rectify the problem on my end but with so many experiencing this and the fact it didn't happen before it seems obvious something is going on with the game itself.

6 Endurance, 26 fort, max block, 5500 hp, one shot by a melee merc with 0 damage mods on a map. Yep, that's 0 offensive mods.

On top of that, my merc dies in nearly every map now, decent gear, max all res and high hp / eva.

What kind of anti-fun patch is this?

Exactly what you would expect from the people that twice said that the recombinator was sticking around only to gut it the day before the league in a small addendum to the patch notes.

But league mechanic is kinda useless now?
You can't really juice merc drops much and now there's no point in trying to look for some cool merc skill combos and make builds for them, because they are just dead all the time.

why were the merc companions nerfed exactly? i thought they felt good. were strong but wouldnt solo a map.. they could drop trash mobs but couldnt solo the bosses. they felt like another player. now they many on here are saying they get one shot by rares n you cant resurrect them? (i havent experienced this personally. just stating they felt good before. im not sure why they bothered nerfing them when other issues exist that seem more important. unless some streamer was whining about it over exaggerating things? idk. when i unequip an item with gems still in the item i have an issue trying to remove the gems unless i re equip the item n remove them. (on xbox)

i did a fresh start yesterday, im now in maps and havent touched a single merc.
Is that what you want ?

Also why make the new gems pretty much impossible to get in ssf ? You dont want people to play with them or what?

Mercs still one shot after patch update. Doing t17 maps so character is strong but mercs in t16 still one shot me off screen.. literally no change lol

im under the impression they applied the nerf to allied instead of enemy mercs, since so many ppl including me have the same experience. poes spaghetti code in a nutshell once again i suppose.

I'm thinking the same thing, there's no way they would ruin the entire league mechanic. Also the nerfed dps on merc skills also applied to in game skills for our builds. So this patch was a big nerf to everyone and everything. What a absolute bummer. Clearly they don't want us to play this game anymore and to play PoE 2. They detected fun and nerfed it like they do every single time. I miss when we could break the game with our dps and ascend to gods. Now we're just fighting to stay alive.

They detected fun in POE 2 too. That's how GGG rolls I guess.

Please tell me there's the Owner instance crash fixed in this
