1.1.0 Patch Notes - Sacrifice of the Vaal
|
As the owner of 5 LEGACY BOR's this patch is amazing! Much love to GGG, I will continue to stock pile/hoard legacy items and exalted orbs for as long as I "play" the game. PoE is turning out to be just like eBay, I hope thete are many more good flipping opportunities in the upcoming patch and new leagues :D

All these nerfs just piss me off.
It is already incredibly hard to make a viable endgame build as a NORMAL player in this game. Without ridiculously OP uniques, you either rely on high dps and lifeleech to survive, or you try to hide behind totems. Guess what, suck it normal players! We realized you actually found a way to play this game, so we're gonna nerf you to the ground! What is the justification for the totem nerfs? Why aren't there any totem passives that could potentially negate the over-the-top penalties? Do you intend to release some new diamond supporter ridiculous unique that makes totems do double damage and this is how you "balance" them? Why is it that the only way to not get instantly killed by elemental damage in this game is getting all the aura passives or getting some broken uniques? Why aren't there more passive nodes that grant max resists, so normal players can actually hope to get high enough resists to not get one-shotted? How do you intend to balance the game based on all these legacy uniques that are completely out of reach for any new player, but makes older players more than TWICE as powerful as the new players can possibly become? Do you balance new content based on the assumption that everyone is wearing a legacy Soultaker + legacy BoR + legacy Aegis Aurora, making it impossible for a normal player to play the game? Or do you pretend those legacy items don't exist, and allow anyone using them to faceroll-farm the content twice as fast as any normal player? Meh. Whatever. I think I'll go do a bunch of maps and pray that I get a ridiculously OP unique drop before the patch hits, so I can stop being a normal player. | |
" It was an anti-reflect mechanism for those who needed to one-shit full screent of mobs. Everyone with just normal DPS aka 10-30k DPS doesnt gives a fck on these change; normal life leech is just totally enough. ;) Welcome to the greatest of arenas, Duelist. God is watching you.

Real talk for a second: To all of you complaining about the VP and leech nerfs...were you guys seriously not leech capped by ~lv 50-60? I mean honestly, I have played a few melee characters and every single one of them was leech capped with only around 2-4% LL, so now I might need to find an extra 1-2% to keep it capped, but honestly, are you guys attacking with fucking wet rags?
A major part of the issue, and I think is being addressed, is that too many characters (in HC especially) were not balancing DPS and survivability, they were simply foregoing DPS entirely to become tanks, and they were still able to leech cap easily enough to make themselves entirely un-killable except to maybe one or two very rare and specific situations. That completely breaks the design of the games if people are able to simply stack LL and HP and enter god-mode to disregard 99.9% of the content. GGG has stated they want their game hard, and they want players to make tough choices and have to pay attention. This update completely goes with that idea. Did any of you really think that LL would never be addressed and that it was simply fine as-is when it alone trivialized almost all of the damage mods on maps, and allowed players to simply ramp up to 100k+ DPS without any fear of death? This nerf to VP and to LL is specifically (I would presume) to address the ability to either A) stack gobs of LL and be unkillable with shitty DPS, or stack DPS and be unkillable with minor LL and VP. I'm sorry but if any of you that have 10-15% LL on your gear & items are still completely unable to leech-cap yourselves (currently) then you're doing something very very very wrong. Also, the fuck is with everyone going "THEY RUINED MY BUILD!" "guess I need to drop this character now"...I mean for fuck's sake people, THEY'RE GIVING YOU A FULL RESPEC. You get to completely re-tool your build and tailor it COMPLETELY to your gear. Any small or missed nuances you had before can be completely corrected and adjusted. Why is this such a big deal? If you like your build as-is and it doesn't change, then don't change it. Simply leave it as-is, if it does change significantly well...cool, you get a free respec! change it however you want. |

Agree ^. As someone mentioned before, people hate change, noobs hate change. They have no online builds they can follow now. Life is ruined.

Most of you are just missing the point that I see ggg is making. They Don't want every just doing certain builds from everyone. Lots where doing the BoR builds cause they where incredibly overpowered. I like the fact they are changing things up an don't always use same builds. I think it keep the game interesting.
