Content Update 3.16.0 -- Path of Exile: Scourge

Where is the translation into other languages? Smells you know what.

Defenses on the right side of the tree got nerfed into the ground, gladiator defenses got completely fucking destroyed, jugg defenses got nerfed, if you want a spectre bank you now need to spend several hours leveling a new character for it, cold DOTs got fucked, all the good maps got deleted, and triggered spells cost more mana now.

Did I miss anything?



Also, the awakened gems change pushes more power to the top end, which runs counter to one of the things Chris talked quite a bit about during his post-3.15-disaster damage control interviews: most power should be front-loaded, with diminishing returns of improvement at the top end. Excellent work, balance team, on fucking that up. And you weren't even consistent in fucking it up, because you got it right with the uber lab change, which suggests you do understand the principle.

Why, just why?
You took away all the best maps and left the crap no-one likes. And even worse you removed ICEBERG with it's very elusive hide-out that I have been trying to get for months.

Very much doubt I'll play this league if it means running maps I positively hate doing.

There are other concerns also, but seeming as we spend such a large amount of time running maps, I prefer to do it on ones I like doing.

LETS GOO

Small shifts are boring and dont affect meta. Large swings create new meta's, buzz and discussion and a lot of online content.

It's working as intended, however annoying it is for people that want something more permanent than 2-3 months.

Not all publicity is good publicity.

too many simple translating options available? too many languages in the world to please all?

What was the point of removing all the good Maps? Do you really think we want to run Maps like dungeon? I just don't get it. Whatever.

Am curious what the end game brings me.

What happens to my current delve "map" in standard? Should I make sure to run all nearby boss-nodes before the patch hits?

I have a feeling 3.16 is finally going to break my addiction to PoE. Thanks!
