Scion forgotten as always in changes guess the fact that the ascendancy is generally extremely weak means we can take more of the bloodline ascendancies though. ^^

Ok, you nerfed most of the popular strats from previous leagues — we’ll be getting like 70% less currency now xD

Alva – dead
T17 – dead
Shrines – dead
Rogues – dead
Blight – dead

So basically the majority of players following Fubgun or other guys will just be running Strongboxes :/

Or maybe AFK Ultimatum // XP-ing people on TFT with Kinetic Blast (oh right… Breach as a mechanic got removed xd)

Please introduce at least some changes to Scarabs, this is rough :/

We miss the dopamine and the tinkering — give people what they want. The new league mechanic looks super interesting and the classes too, but we got ZERO changes to farming strats // scarabs etc.

Please, at least tweak Scarabs and core farming so there’s something to build around, not just nerfs.

I dont understand why BAMA was nerfed, was planning to play it for the first time this league, i even tried to prepare for it.
You really fucked up my plans, not even sure if im gonna play or how much im gonna play.

Just because you haven't played it doesn't mean it wasn't completely broken. They overnerfed it though I agree. But it was nerfed for a reason: It was outlandishly overpowered. Now it's dog shit though...Nobody at GGG knows how to balance anything..They either destroy something or make it so busted that everybody plays it. There is no middle ground.

Absolutely agree. I was expecting more gem changes, but almost everything stayed the same. So PoE hasn't changed at all from last league.

Let me be clear.
10 NEW ASCENDANCIES, new uniques, new skill gems, new skills from breach hands, breach hands being similar to mercenaries, nerfs for meta swap (very deserved).

Go back to watching fubgun bro, please.

Why nerfing this much BAMA.... having ~33/35% less damage, I can understand. But having 75 less duration. Now there is basically base gem, and alternate that are the same. Originally there was only Blink arrow for movement and Blink arrow of Bombarming in order to be played as minion, and now both of them will only be movement skill. And can't really be played as minion skill. Kinda sad :(

Exsanguinate buffed, Reap buffed, Corrupting Cry Support buffed. Where is Corrupting Fever buff?=)

-blight ravaged maps
-exped logbooks
-heisting
-delve
-regular mechanic farms in t16.5
-speeding t17 for boss frags & bossing
-bossrushing destructive play
-sanctussy
-kingsmarch

there are a lot of good farms in this game. 3.26 with its incredible map-mod stacking meta was just too much. It made so much content in the game useless, because this non-map content does not scale off retarded map modifier effect magnitudes.

This was afllition league all over again, where there is like 1 broken farm and everything else may as well not exist.

Most players did not engage in these extreme endgame farms anyway.

I would take a look at league nodes on the atlas and scarabs though. Don't want another ambush league.

The mechanics you listed are fine for league start or for noobs who can’t make currency (expect delve - but it's boring wrr). Most of them don’t affect explicits // Scarabs, etc. What we care about is pure mapping — dopamine from loot.

Last league, despite the nerfs, we had a blast; even with the T16.5 nerf it was still excellent to farm. Now everything’s going to revolve around Essence into Strongbox (plus Faustus’s market manipulation).

So dead skills are still dead... They told us, that will be huge balance patch, but is very small to be honest.

So PoE is now a game about watching someone who likes to basically break the game with most profitable farming strategies, who shares them, and everyone has to either waste time or watch specific people who like that because the other option is a game that provides very little reward "for just playing"?

I mean I knew that, but as someone who just wants to play and refuses to watch and follow meta BS I'd ask less for "gib big dopamine" and more about just having fun overall. Because it seem to me that the whole loot balance of PoE is either: do one specific farming stat, get your build up in a few days, or don't and good luck getting anything in a month. That's why I say "breaking", because now GGG has to lower rewards so average people don't get rich in few days even with strats, and make sure they play for longer.

If you just rely on big dopamine hits in a game, it shows that normal gameplay is extremely flawed and I find it sad. Especially when I see "follow XYZ's stat" being a very popular thing to say in game's community. Apparently "just playing" is not GGG's way.
