1.0.1 Patch Notes
|
I welcome all the changes but the "fix" about CWDT is just mishandled. I think the majority agrees that it needs tuning, but the "solution" suggested in patchnotes is just very bad for most melees.
I'm always playing melee more or less and only came back to PoE because there was a ladder reset with release, because that kind reshuffles the cards and is a lot of fun. So when i discovered CWDT it was fundamentally improving melee-gameplay. It was such a pain in the A to try to keep up EC and a totem whilest 10 titty bitches gun you down, I never even bothered with molten shell because by the time you cast it you lost so much HP that it simply made no sense to use it. So with CWDT i was finally able to focus on melee gameplay, evade hardhitting projectiles, focus elites/bad rangers and try to be as tanky as possible so the guys can shoot in from the back. I fear that now the game will feel as clunky and unintuative for a melee, as it did in closed beta. I always kinda disliked how a melee felt in PoE compared to other games but still i stuck with it because the rest of the design made so much sense. Now that its once again a step backwards for melees I'll simply take a break till the next ladder reset when hopefully melees feel better. Just sad to take away that convenience from melees that was so much needed... IGN: Me_Smash

" Uhh, even ignoring all those armor/evasion nodes, its still rough to even get more than 5-5.5k ish hps for most people (not godly gear here). Having something that procs based off of 1/2 your lifepool still isn't very viable. |

Sad to see another game company fall into what I like to call "Blizzard syndrome."
Once you start playing "balance musical chairs" you never stop. I really hope you find some better testers who have atleast enough critical thought to tell you why you should or should not make such items, abilities x,y,z way and how it either benefits or harms gameplay. This is becoming a game of never knowing whether or not your build is going to be viable every 2 weeks because of this never ending musical chairs fiasco. I don't know why every company these days have adopted these MMO-esque tendencies. One of the reasons why I couldn't continue playing World of Warcraft is because of this same "never ending musical chair syndrome". Decide on something, keep it that way. The huge amount of indecisiveness from the dev's lately is very troubling to say the least. I'm beginning to feel like you've given me a great product full of features but little by little, you start watering them down to the point where you can't make these features part of your salespitch anymore.

" That's one my issues with the CwDT gem. The damage taken requirement for the higher levels of the gem are more life than my characters have. I'm not a twitch streamer, group player, trader, with a 100 people on my friends list, with equipment in every slot that has 100 life, dual/tri resist, and armor/energy shield affixes that allow me to have 6K+ life, 12K+ armor, etc. I'm a solo, self-found, no trading player that is lucky to be able to cap resists without Purity, have 3K life, and enough armor to give 50% damage reduction before endurance charges and molten shell. I have yet to make a character that has done all 3 of these simultaneously. |
