LoL, no more fun for normal people who plays PoE for one or two hours a day. Quit this game. I like this game from beta, but nd, its trash.

The amount of salt is insane lol, but this is just the norm for every patch. You guys need to stop taking nerfs to skills so personally, maybe try making another build.

very disapointed, the only thing this patch note will make is force everyone into meta builds yet again

buffing underused skills? what a joke

every balance notes makes me want to play the game less and less

very disappointed and concerned about your ability to balance underused skills

change your balance team before it is too late

Nobody holds a gun to your head lol, you can leave anytime you want.
Anytime...

PoE is dying now =\
Adding POG content.
Nerfing all nice to play builds.
DotA has same way of development and now its garbage custom map.

Yep dying, for sure, must be. Especially since each new major league they are breaking their own records of users online. XD

So they spent the extra month working on making the game no longer fun? Cool Cool...

Ahh the irony and here I thought it's one of the best updates this game has seen in years. I guess we live in different realities then, lul.

The buffs were extremely underwhelming to be honest.

Also wish you'd revert the whole basic attack animation thing you did back in legion which makes most strike skills that use that animation super unfun since the first hit is super slowed just so the second one is faster??? If I have 1 aps then I want to hit once every second, not have an average hit of 1 per second due to the first and second hit having different speeds.

My honest advice would be: stop doing drugs, m'kay.

Are you telling me the CLuster Jewels i invested a fuckton are going to the trashcan? It should only apply to old ones though. Wouldnt hurt STD players.

Nobody cares about Standard bro, it's a dumpster league.

I cant find any summoner specific buffs to mitigate the ascendancy and skill gem nerfs.

Bex said there would be, so please point me to them.


Overall, the timing couldnt be worse for nerfs, in an pandemic you just dont do this in my books, its terrible PR for your company, its much smarter to give people something instead of taking it from them.


Chris if you see this post, send me a PM, I just want to understand your reasoning behind this.

Those that play, have fun and stay safe!

I don't know if you're blind or having serious problems reading but they already posted their explanation for the decisions they made.

For me and many people the vast majority of changes were totally deserved and warranted, dunno why it's so hard to understand for the rest of you, lol.

Nerfs and trolling all around

1. Bosses immune to damage from long distance - introduce new farshot mechanics. Bet you smiled when you made that decision.

2. People complain about the shitstorm that is Sirus and beg you to flush him now the drain, you now shove him down peoples throats in maps.

3. Heist, already nerfed during league, now made obsolete with low spawn chance aka limited markers aka cant run blueprints. Vinderi, already having a stupidly nasty penalty to threat, now made pointless.

4. The gems stupidly optimistic people hoped would compensate for ascendancy slaughter, nerfed by FIVE f*****g times - i'm talkin about alternate auras.

I'm trying here, genuinely struggling with my anger for the nth time, to see the purpose behind the changes. I'm coming short. Today I tried simulacrum wave 20 with a bleed glad with several hundred ex invested in and got butchered in seconds. A character now further nerfed. Is the idea that we should be happy with mid content and just drool over streamers, to keep us always chasing the endgame carrot? What a business model!

You are struggling to hold your anger over changes made in a FREE TO PLAY game?? I suggest visiting a specialist then, you might need it.



On a side note, super god damn hyped for the new league!

I don't know how you guys do it but I've been actively trying to quit for a while now (yeah right) but you guys always manage to bring me back.

What sorcery is this?!

We are really confident that once the community at large sinks their teeth into these new options, there will be a tonne of powerful new builds available to discover. This should be further emphasised tomorrow when we reveal the full patch notes for 3.13 which includes over 40 skill gem buffs and other balance changes.

Nerfing alt-quality aura effects to nerf aura-stackers, when you could've just been nerfing aura-stackers instead seems incredibly backwards.

Because for everyone except aurastackers this is basically you killing all the alt-quality auras off.
10% skill effect duration on anomalous malevolence, for example, was decently strong for an ordinary, not OP-as-shit build, and was overall an upgrade worth grinding for.
2% skill effect duration on anomalous malevolence is a joke. A bad one, at that.

Why not just delete the gems? That's a serious question.
