Content Update 3.27.0 — Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame

Servers are perfect. I can't even enter first town on any european server to train leaguestart. American works with 300 ping, thanks. Leaguestart will be crap as always it seems

damn it all depends on the new breach 2.0 now because what the f do you do? all egg in one basket seems like not a good idea.

endgame juicing doesnt seem to exists anymore. hopefully im wrong. please prove me wrong. because im on doom train rn. this defeat the async trade hype for me

Ggg i love you and league mechanic looks awesome, but these are the most boring patch notes ever.

Melee, strikes, impale, steel skills, absolutely nothing for these.

Couldnt care less about nerfs, well deserved overall (i expected Elementalist to stay the same but golem leveling dcaling to change)

But these buffs and skill changes are so damn lame and uninspiring.
Really disappointed

This.👌

Nice stuff, loved the Cyclone buff might play it but Kinetic rain looks fun.

Any info on when the new Kirack Pass is shown?

I don't get it, why nerf The Liege of the Primordial, it's not like golem builds was anywhere near meta before.

Nice hotfix. When are you going to release 3.27 patch notes? Such a shame, maybe it would be better if you just moved completely to poe2 and let the community take over poe1 in the same way Project Diablo's been done. Less loot, less difficulty, less scaling, less diversity, energy shield still 10 times better than life. You recycled few skill gems from poe2 and called it a day. Not even a single mention of petals skills that you promised to look into the first week of 3.26. so 16.5 will still be a pain in the a**, being forced to spam f1f2 every pack of mobs. Obliterated every endgame farming strat, giving nothing in return. Another strongbox league but even worse this time because of nerfs to modifier scaling. Mediocre farming strats will also be much worse because of that. You even nerfed the betrayal for some reason, even tho it's been already bad with same popularity as heist. I bet breach will be heavily underperforming but you won't be there to adjust it because delivering poe2 league before christmas is your biggest priority now. Torchlight infinite had longer patch notes this season and it's a f****** gacha game. But somehow it's more fun than recent poe leagues. Those patch notes are just a bit longer than mid-league poe2 patches. Amazing.

They just like nerfing non-meta builds for unclear reasons. They also nerfed cold dot for no reason, even though it was never a top meta build and was never competitive for racing or events or endgame farming, just a popular leaguestarter.

Like, what's the reason for nerfing golems but not ES builds, particularly ephemeral edge which has been in the gauntlet winning builds for over a year due to absurd defense/offense double-dipping?

It took them like 2-3 years to nerf seismic trap and VDD despite winning every gauntlet and challenge event back-to-back for years.

I really don't get why it always must be there a pathfinder nerf..pathfinder builds are neither OP nor meta.

PoE 2 is like what 40 times better than this game but I will still give it a go because I'm craving an arpg game so badly. Let's see if PoE 1 will be fun (doubt)

Please release 0.4 before Holiday season, don't delay it to early 2026. I want to play PoE 2 with new end game and druid so badly.

Starting from the fact that a statement like that is a matter of taste and not a rule for anyone, how can you say that POE2 is 40 times better (a very precise number based on what?) when you haven’t even tried POE1? You yourself said:

but I will still give it a go because I'm craving an arpg game so badly. Let's see if PoE 1 will be fun (doubt).

That’s what you said, you haven’t even played POE1 to know if you like it, and yet you dare to claim that “POE2 is 40 times better than POE1.” The term “tourists” in this series was invented for people like you, my friend 🤣

So, what are the results?
1. There is no more endgame farming, there is no point in improving any build's survivability because there is no more content that can actually kill or somehow oppose you. It's easier to kill uber in 6 portals than dodge something.
2. There is no more currency, no abyss, no alva, no rogue exiles, even my homie gravicus was killed. How to get currency/uniques on SSF is an interesting question. It turns out that you have to farm the expedition endlessly (which only N number of builds can clear effectively).
3. The Trickster was deservedly nerfed, in my opinion. But what about the other classes? Apparently, they don't exist, since we're seeing the meta of three ascendancies again. Almost any spell could be played thanks to golems, but instead of buffing spells, we nerf golems, absolute cinema.
4. 20% cyclone damage, thank you, GGG. What about the godforsaken skills? Cold Dot skills? SST? Bows? Brands? Carrion Golems? Animate weapon? etc etc etc.
5. Expectations for the league were better, although the nerf of the abyss was probably expected, but still, as an SSF player, i don't know where to get anything in these realities now. No currency, no Gravicus farming (btw hoping of a lucky drop), no unique farming, no abyss hordes, no alva, no map juicing, nothing. Probably the most frustrating league i've ever played.

Thanks for 3.27 STRONGBOX of the Flame league, GGG.
