Temple Hotfix 14 data - it looks GOOD, feels ok. STOP CRYING

I have very average/starting temple (40 rooms out of 80 tiles, so its really just 50%, even so it may have took over 50 runs or hours)

I did 6 runs after hotfix 14,

and TLDR:
PATCH IS FINE!
I'm progressing the temple same as before, or even faster.

after 6 runs I made about +20% progress with room count and my temple had better stats and drops, just much more ugly.

here is link to excel sheet with some data:
- room count with added/removed count
- divine drop
- rarity + effectiveness
- medallion drops
- lock and +1 medallions drops
- screenshots of 6.temple and pre state for run 7

6 runs is small test, but hey, in that time there is new [Removed by Support]
OMG I have read some hilarious horror literature, I hope those poor people will survive thru this, but it seems very iffy right now.
6 runs should be enough to get a feel of new changes:

I noticed that I find more medalions for rooms
I dont get many locks, same as before, but my good rooms survive better now (without lock)
It really feels almost the same as it was pre 13.

WAS I LUCKY ? are your temples dying ?
Yes patch 13 was horrible news, but does it really hurt ? I cant notice.
I love temple, its amazing and I will not complain about a single thing. Im still mad about abys nerf at the start when eco was already F before I started league. So I can't be bothered anymore with new problems.

I like that now I can reach Atziri faster and more reliable. Haven't tried to build a snake-like temple yet for currency farming yet.
Cool, so you're part of the group the nerfs did nothing for. Let your entire temple destabilize and come back and write this exact review of the patch after you've spent 200+ hours trying to get back to a 40 room temple.
PoE community in general is famous by loud crying over every single patch pefore even trying it. It's more like tradition at this point.
I can confirm this - I was just starting out from scratch after (painfully) resetting my temple to make it more optimal. Progress is faster now and you dont have to worry about spymaster/locks all the time. However, you can no longer pre plan the temple but you have to use what you get. If you try to follow a pre planned layout then you are out of luck. You have to think on the fly. Overall: good change. The legacy temples of the 0.1% are a problem, though.

You had a 40 room temple already so you're one of the least effected by this patch... What was your point?

Less rooms destabilizing means you can probably get to a 40 room temple faster, it just won't be the deterministically perfect chain you copied off a streamer.
Funny how the dudes saying ''everything is fine'' are the ones with their Temples already set up. Also the ones with all the supporter packs, AKA ''I only play PoE and I don't know how the sun looks like''.

YEA, I suspected that all those lunatics are just shouting nonsense without any real base.
I was wondering if my temple is already "big enough"
Thanks for confirming that it truly is faster even from start.
What an absolutely obtuse post. Someone that has enough rooms to sustain locks and the ability to more commonly generate +1 medallions thinks he is in a position to lecture others about the mechanic. You are the 1%. Everyone else is going to spend 10x the time to get 1/10th of what you already have.
