So, does that mean cluster traps is gonna change? I mean, it tosses out 4 traps, but since you only have 3 traps stacks max (unless I missed something)...

Very very surprised to see Heavy Strike untouched :v
Gives streamers & friends queue priority and leaves supporters who spent hundreds $ packs in the 100k queue.
GGG: Don't you guys follow streamers? | |

I just have to say that after playing for over 2000 hours over the past 3 years I am disappointed with the direction of the game. I've spent more on this game than any other game ever by at least ten-fold.
Please stop nerfing things into oblivion or I just might not support this game anymore. I'm sure many feel the same way. Thank you for your time. Last edited by Gigorahk#3919 on May 30, 2018, 10:52:48 PM

" POE has always nerfed fun builds. But its just that fun builds always had a habit of pushing the games mechanics to the limit of breaking the game. But most of the time, the nerfs were made specifically for OP rich people builds who could actually get to the point, which just makes it harder for everyone else. Cause, lets face it. Normal builds or safe builds are boring as hell. |

RIP Dyadus!

" That is not particularly an accurate statement.[/quote] go on...[/quote] use your brain + the numbers there are less people trying to login at the start of the league than there are playing within the first week. people are bogged down trying to download the game and a large portion of people actually work so starting at hour 1 is not in their realm of possibilities. their servers suck because they are sending out an upload as well as trying to run an increase in players (because no one is on during the down time on standard other than those trying to organize their tabs) |

Everyone loves breaches, nerf breach
Most people hate lab, increase number of enchantments which is the worst mechanic in the game by far IGN gubert Last edited by Gubert#1144 on May 30, 2018, 9:41:57 PM

" OK... you don't know how server architecture works. First off, patch servers do not throttle the available bandwidth of the game servers; they are two separate things. You can always patch a client when the game servers are down (because they're not tied to the same hardware). That aside; most people play this game through Steam - GGG uploads the patch content to Valve and Valve distributes the data for anyone using the Steam client (this is why Steam is such a HUGE digital distribution platform; developers and publishers put their games on steam so that they don't have to invest millions in a distribution backbone for their games). GGG also makes available a torrent of a new league's patch which is peer-to-peer traffic. Secondly; Player concentration. The reason why server stability is so rough for the first few hours of PoE (and first few days for MMORPGS) is twofold: 1) At the flip of a switch you go from no network activity to the most congruent users active at any time in the league. There is no other time the servers will peak because everyone (who is available) will collectively want to play the moment the league goes live. I've logged into the new leagues an hour before they 'go live' that's typically how far in advance the queue opens up. If you're late, you're 50,000+ in queue so don't think for a moment that the first hour of a league start is less player activity than any other random sampling 1 week in. 2) Typically 'zones' or 'maps' in MMORPGs (and I would assume PoE as well) are physically allocated to specific server racks. Meaning all of those congruent users all logging in are also piling onto a portion of the machines the game is hosted on and a bottleneck occurs. As players level and move throughout the game that concentration diffuses as some players are faster than others or play for longer sessions - The player population spreads out and the hardware is less taxed overall. If you're a company like Blizzard, you've invested a lot into developing dynamic scaling to open new slots to handle demand but considering the relatively brief server instability PoE experiences it's simply overkill and not worth the cost. |

And again all the changes are wrong and game tends to have less monsters to kill wich was the intention of the genre in a first place -.- It's an arpg and u can't enjoy crushing mobs cuz there barely any in a map.
Wan'na kill me? Do it faster!
