Player Balance

I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly so I apologize for the mistake (maybe) in advance, but does this mean that currency and gold gets buffed? only for the parties?

According to patchnotes: the party only got buffed. Solo players will be farming scarabs to their party lords 3 league in row now.
That's really nice, I'm so thankful that I don't need to create new farm strat and should focus on scarab farm as on a second job (sarcasm)

I'm wonder why GGG not getting MF back only for solo players, so they could catch up a little party players for profits at least.

Oh great, party apparently was already better to play than solo but now solo is even less attractive, facepalm :D I guess judging by this and other comments I understood it right. GGG hates solo players?

Some loony bin changes. I'm sorry, I have nothing else to say here.

Well, maybe at least Empy is gonna be happy.

It's probably because Mark is a party player and he is rule the poe now, but SHHHHH, I didn't tell you nothing. I'm pretty sure that it's wasn't the whole reason and GGG made some research, right? At least I hope so :(

people pretending sanctum was not a divine printer early one with low investiment
well deserved nerf

(i hope divine will not be 500 chaos orb because of the nerf)

i dont know if reduce rares to party play save server memory but well the same number of uniques and more currency... party mf play already generate so much why need buff

The new divine printer it seems will be party play?... if they will just blatantly get this insane multiplier for currency.

Thank you, Mark, for making partyplay better!

still not seeing any changes for non-map gold drops?

maps are just so incredibly bloated at this point, it's like working part time as a project manager, and if I feel like a change of pace I would like to get more than ~3k gold per Logbook or w/e please.

That party buff just killed my hype as a solo player, thanks GGG! what a dumb change.

solo player here, everyone freaking out about party buff obviously doesn't have any experience in party play. after split its really not as much as you'd think. hence why we now play solo.
and sanctum nerf has been overdue for ages, get over it.
looks like a sick league, cant wait.
nice one ggg!!!

thanks for partyplay league gj ggg!

this is just a BAD THING for the overall game.
this is terrible for every solo player in the game.
a lot of people play solo by choice or simply because the game crashes or is very unstable as soon as you add other players.
the fact that GGG added this 1 day before league launch is disgusting no one has time to even find a play group if they wanted to in that time and most just wont.
