Path of Exile 2.4.0: Atlas of Worlds Patch Notes
|
Hmmm...seems to have died down finally (also GGG has now put another post up). So the final tally is 120 pages. K. I'll put this down as the new record and henceforth all new posts will be judged with it as the target.
Nice work, guys! :) Edit: Lol! Apparently not. :p Last edited by Exile009#1139 on Sep 1, 2016, 5:40:15 AM

" More high level maps (as well as T16 maps) being added, I imagine. Plus the folks who're planning on cheesing the Atlas so as to only get high lvl maps to drop by limiting their Atlas-completion. They really don't want too many people reaching lvl 100 (the reason being that the game is still considered incomplete), so this is to discourage that. Blizzard does something similar with every expansion of WoW by just raising the level cap, but that won't work in PoE owing to how the passive tree system works (raising level cap = more passive points = even more power creep), so they instead choose to make the highest levels much harder to achieve. The idea is that now players will just decide it's not worth it to go all the way to 100 due to this penalty. They'll probably remove it at some point in the (far!) future when they've added enough content (we'll probably only have 1 difficulty as well by that point).

" In my experience, person trying to discredit others is usually the one that has no case to present. While these changes may seem drastic for some people it does bring some builds in more even playing field with others. Let's not forget that balance is a continuous process, so this does not mean that these changes will remain as is in upcoming month or two. While I don't agree with everything GGG does, I find that actually playing the game can change the way you've originally felt about certain changes whether for good, or bad. |

The damage bonus of the Less Duration support gem has been reduced. At level 1, it has been reduced from 20% to 10%. At level 20, it has been reduced from 29% to 19%. Given the strong utility of this gem, it doesn't need a damage bonus that high.
Earthquake's aftershock damage has been reduced from 60% more (at level 1, tapered upwards) to 50% more at all Levels. Its mana cost has been increased from 6 to 10. Its aftershock area of effect has been reduced by 12%. With the wide-ranging melee buffs and adjustment to Earthquake, we expect to see a much more balanced use of melee skills. OMG Game Performance Balance: nerf most used weapons (voltaxic, etc..) nerf all big active skills (So that no longer plays.) Push boring low effect skills. === no lags yeah! |

" Jeezuz motherphuqing kriste!!!!! Thanks for continuously shitting on us solo players who have yet to remotely get close to lvl 100 (my highest is 95). Oh, and phuq you very much for nerfing unrelenting even more! " Not anytime soon....if ever again. 17/04/2021 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3082616/page/1 "We tell people that Path of Exile league starts are a fair playing field for everyone, and we need to actually make sure that is the reality." A BLATANT LIE by the HMFIIC. Perhaps GGG should consider a leadership change. Last edited by Bjorn_Angannon#7300 on Sep 1, 2016, 6:45:55 AM

" Thanks for the answer. After having posted my question, I came to the same conclusion as you :) |
|
|
even gems on your chars should remain "legacy".
come on, you spend like 6 months, a year, or even more, to build a char you spend money, seek for the best possible items and suddenly your char is useless and you have to change everything ? is it supposed to motivate you to play the game or stop it ? answer is simple. |

" Nice, I thought I was the only one who noticed it among the mjolner crying babies |
|
|
sigh......well rip my mjolnir and another exp nerf. Im really salty right now.
GGG just threw us solo players to the dogs. |

" You've been here three years and the game has constantly been changing the entire time. Seems to be working. |
