All Support Gems now support values up to level 30.


What does this mean?

I'll take a stab and say corruption can increase support gem levels hence the need for higher max levels.

Ha, I was right, no fix to desync. Weird no one mentioned it yet, guess i'm the only one that cares about smooth gameplay?

As for the nerfs, ggg doesn't want you guys to have it easy killing stuff and they want you to take your time killing stuff, like really take a lot of your time to kill stuff. Because if you kill too fast you might get bored too fast, i guess they haven't considered the downside that if you kill too slow you'll get bored even faster (guess if someone does kill to slowly it's their build that sucks and it falls under ggg's design which is: "it's ok for some builds to suck" , but isn't the % of builds that suck too high?)

Maybe i over-exaggerated a bit but some build did get nerefed hard either by damage or cast/attack times and will fall under the over-exxagerated part.

I get what they want to do with their game, keep it old school and hardcore, but things don't work that way. They're bussiness making profit from microtransactinos but the sooner they realise that dissatisfied players won't buy them the beter.

So what do devs of games atleast in arpgs need to get in their head? It's quite simple really, reward player for their time, by not giving them crap, no upgrades, useless legendaries that don't even have any build enabling capabilities in a decent ammount of time. Decent being like 4 hours not 100-500 hours. That's the thing d3 got right with loot 2.0 imo, even though legendaries are now boa they atleast drop very frequently and the rare items that drop are usually usable aswell.

Just as in business time=money it goes aswell for players that they won't spend a lot of time on a game if they don't get enough fun out of it.

That's my take on it, you can either agree or disagree, but i'm sure all of you will partially agree.

Thank you for appropriately reducing the effectiveness of the overpowered shield uniques and leaving block as it is for those who choose to invest in it.

The way leech applies to the player has changed. If you leech additional life while currently leeching, it no longer queues after the current leech. Technically, where multiple leeches are stacked, the largest one is used.
