are you like really mad that hardcore players exist? are they weak?

This is exactly what they're mad about. It kills their ego.

I will never understand the "i hope GGG never listens to [game mode] players", like wtf? More people playing the way they like is a GOOD thing for the game.

bro, you want hardcore? play normal mode and when you die, delete your character and smash your pc

Unable to answer my questions in substance, are you looking for like-minded people? Funny. You will find them, of course, literally almost any SSF player is your friend and a sufferer of change, lol.

"mad", "ego" is a set of words, without reference to the specific context of the situation.

In fact, we, as players, are welcome to any modes besides ours, be it SSF, HCSSF or other, whatever they are added, as long as it does not affect our MAIN game mode. The developers are acting correctly now, focusing on changing the game to the main mode, so we don't need to do anything and the voices of the SSF players are ignored, so everything is fine. It's just that sometimes you need to remind GGG that they are acting correctly, as in this particular case. There is no need to force them to change their position.

As I said earlier, it would be great if it were possible to please everyone, but the very concept of playing in SSF or HCSSF mode contradicts playing in the main mode, it's just impossible to make changes so that players of both game modes are happy. In this case, it is absolutely correct to pay attention to the players of the main mode, SC.

It is still there, in the 25th of May update section. I don't think it will be reverted unless there will be extremely huge backlash from vast majority of the players, which is, most likely, not going to happen. We will see how it feels like after league starts.

Yeah, thanks. I was looking at the table of contents and trying to keyword search for it. Didn't see the collapsed additions buried at the bottom.

Sounds like this is just to prevent items from going too crazy from league specific crafting and the base crafting materials probably still work as usual. I'm ok with it if it's the case. It'd be nice if they were a lot clearer, though. They really did a great job with crafting in recent leagues.

Thanks, GGG! Now crafting will be much, much, much, much, much more expensive. And trade prices will skyrocket.

Agane [Removed by Support]'ed.

Why even bother to post on your forums, will not give you any feedback nor bug reports.

Yeah. While I do not support or hate their decision to change the crafting like this, I fully understand the view of the people who are unhappy about it. This is quite a big change, it should be clearly announced and explained long ago. The way they done it, is just really, really bad. And now they may lose some of the playerbase just because they made one wrong decision. Well... Hopefully new league crafting will balance the changes and smooths out the loss of average player power during campaign and early endgame. Because there will big quite a big hit to our dmg. While I enjoy fighthing bosses for a minute or two, I don't want the fights to last longer than that, but it's just my personal take.

The response is kinda crazy, we're getting broken delirium items, broken breach tree stuff, jewel crating system, piles of runes, extra free defense layer, and they slightly nerf a couple of crafting strats and everybody acts like they're gonna be limping through white maps with zdps.

you absolutely nailed it. all the new craft and tech will make the game insanely easy even with that slight nerf to super endgame crafting

it's not a slight nerf, it's a complete obliteration of early end game martial weapon crafts. just like the removal of the homogenising omens, this makes group crafters with unlimited time and resources market monopoly of items.

The Craft change is one of the best things they ever had in this game, it will make everything more unpredictble, crafting was too easy; it was too easy to get a perfect weapon. People only want easy things; they don't like difficulty. And now they'll cry because they won't be able to get their perfect weapons with zero difficulty.
