ggg why kill support players?

Many supporting interactions already do not work as it says they do for yet another league.
Clearly, you do not patch them either unknowingly or intentionally.
(I assume unknowingly)

Now you kill the rarity bot, why?

It was a perfect build to support late-game players.
When you reach end end game, where everything dies instantly, there is no need for extra dmg, nor extra survivability.

So the only way you can make your teammates happier is by increasing loot.

Now, you break this interaction, which was the only reason for endgame players to play with others on maps.

It seems like you don't want your players to play together at all.

Could you just not do it, please?

I am in a guild where we have many good players.

By the time I can gear normal support, all my friends don't need me anymore, so rarity was the only way for us to rally and play together.

If you want to nerf rarity, that's not the way.

remove modifiers from gear, keep it only on uniques.

That way, rarity bots will need to use Andvari rings, which are risky for them at the beginning.


Okay, I am just salty, as one of my ways to play with friends just got broken.

Like usual, you do you and we shall see where it takes us.

still love the game, just a little less now.

He's right other support build are pointless tbh, so it was only way to make sense for team play. Ask steam to remove co-op form tags at this point.

Its so funny.
I dont even play with friends normally in this game or POE1 just because the DOWNSIDE is too strong... having x-times more dmg and hp on monsters but nearly zero extra loot its pointless to play together.

We got as three ppl more loot playing solo than playing together... (tbh because no one of us want to play a stupid bot ... i am happy, that leechers / bots are nerfed to the death... nobody need that... play the game and gid gud.)

On the Chinese server, it was written directly in the patch notes that the reward in the group would be reduced, but here in the patch notes there is nothing about this, so it probably will not happen here.

I believe this more fair and Justice spirit is worth advocating—it's a good change, and I support GGG. This game will get better.

Let me summarize the biggest problems with party play. It's not simply about 6 people getting 6 times the loot — it's a series of issues:

1.Party play provides drop rate bonuses.Many RMTers buy 6 accounts, with 5 of them being bot scripts. This turns into a situation where one person gets the rewards of six people.

2.The Gravebind Unique Gloves were a huge problem.You could see many "ring king" players stacking their rarity to 500, then using that 500 rarity to obtain the rewards of 6 people. This resulted in 6-player parties dropping 10 to 20 times more loot than solo players. (This has now been fixed.)

3.In the endgame, having 6 people in the same party actually made the difficulty much lower.Various auras could be stacked without restraint — these buffs multiplied rather than added, easily turning 10 million damage into 100 million. (This has now been fixed.)

4.When entering a high-cost map, things like tablets and map entries cost currency, but a single map allowed 6 people to play.The other 5 players paid zero cost.

5.When all these advantages come together, the destructive impact is enormous, easily breaking the game's economy.

This makes total sense and I for one am ok with it. The thought of ZDPS builds in a game like this is cringy, So big Claps to GGG for nerfing it into the ground. Play the game, get rewarded & WIN. This isn't diablo 3.

You no longer get offered Ritual Altar rewards after defeating the King in the Mists in Act 1 Freythorn.

1 Twisters require ~5 buttons to be overpowered (Slash + Arrows + Barrage + Mark + Twister) + 2 different weapon sets with different trees + high investment in Attack Speed. Person who can go to t15 maps with this skill in 5h, 100% can do ~6h run with most other skills that in the game. It's a practice question, not a problem at all. Try grenades.
