Another thing, please let us disable those msg's when someone come online or change status.... its too annoying.

+1 this PLEASE!!!

This has been a constant irritation for months - the notifications often conceal item descriptions (quality percentages especially) in maps so that u either have to wait until the notice times-out or move the cursor off the item to close the notice and then go back to the item for the description (does that make sense?) - and the number of times i have done all of that to get a quick ID and then had someone else log in/out and cover the descriptions again ... you know who you are :)

Also not very happy about the CoDT gem changes! So now i either have to wait a week to Lvl it so it can b used again, or i have to spend scourings+++ to lower the levels on all my supported gems? The suggestion i saw earlier about having the dmg required to trigger it based on a flat % of life/ES across all levels is a much neater solution.

Otherwise, it's all good ;)

Thanks, GGG...

One patch note really stood out for me:

• All quest rewards are now 0% quality, not just skill gems.

Good thing you guys caught that one. The extra 12% quality on the vendor-trash rare I got from my latest quest reward was really breaking the game. /s

Talk about a nerf for the sake of nerfing things.

Auto-discharge with life leech, multiple auto-curse, auto-charges - may be you all want to auto-run, auto-loot and auto-leveling?

That's what I'll tell all of you - F*CK YOU LAZY WHINERS!!!

that's not true. Sometimes (all the time!) you want to enfeeble/curse mobs BEFORE you engage. You want to get ECharges BEFORE you engage (meaning multiple gems needed or Ecry can't be linked to CwDT) so it wasn't that simple as you are trying to present it.

Good work on the patch, well done balancing all around.

In other news, this thread makes me feel like I just drowned in a sea of tears. Something tells me we have an influx of players from D3 and TL2 in here.

Its kinda funny because as someone who's build takes a hit with this nerf (Molten Shell/Enduring Cry + CODT) I'm willing to take that hit now just because of how hilarious these tears are. So much crying over people who jumped the bandwagon for Flavor of the Month and fell off.

+1

it tells a lot how the exalted and divine supporters think everything is ok, because they have a huge stack of items/gems and can rebuild without much work.

alas, the vast majority of players wont have a, for example, lvl 1 enduring cry so they can adjust to the nerf, and will have to buy/grind for one.

Again, its not about the nerf per se, its about releasing something that you are not so sure about and the chain reaction it causes in a game such as PoE, where your real currency is the time you invest in the game.

They also decided to buff group play again with the increased monster health part.

It's more and more obvious that they're trying to force group play now.

The much higher monster life in 1.0.0 for groups has really disincentivised playing in them. There was a major shift towards solo play. That's why we reduced the new group monster health bonus slightly in this patch.

Oh my god!!!

So some players, played solo because grouping was no longer 'quite' the faceroll it was in OB. But still a very safe faceroll.

And you, see that as a problem?

Chris, you just said it plain and simple, you bluntly just said without a doubt, that you are encouraging group play and discouraging solo play.

The aura changes, all of them, are quite clear now.

Thing is, Chris, if there was suddenly a shift, to group play, would THAT be seen as something that needed looking into to resolve the cause?

You have "really disincentivised playing" solo since the year dot.

I agree.


Chris I'd love to see some hard numbers and why you think it is such an issue for people to be soloing instead of partying.

Developers should also nerf, for example, Multistrike, because for some players "it's too easy". Nerf it to something like 1 additional attack, max 50 % increased attack speed and 50+ % less damage.

What? Multistrike is far from broken, hell I stopped using it for other DPS increases because it was too annoying to use for what little gain it offered me.

CODT + Discharge was absolutely stupid. You could walk into a zone and kill everything without ever having to click except to walk. If you think that was fair and balanced you've absolutely lost it.

I have nothing but laughter for anyone who invested heavily in the flavor of the month. I knew this would happen post-release but wasn't expecting it so soon. Streamer runs broken as hell build, build gets nerfed, all his followers who tried to jump on the bandwagon for the flavor of the month too late whine and cry that GGG hates them.

Good riddance, game is better without people like that.

+1 Always nice to notice someone with common sense around this forum !

Cast when damage taken whine is so obvious i wont even talk about it further, seems like you just forgot that it's not beta anymore

the real question is map drop changes
would i be able to sustain at least lvl72 maps solo?
given the fact that it's much more expensive to manage your maps solo than in the group of 6 men, the fact that you can get zero maps out of 110% IIQ map makes it even worse
please, provide us with numeric explanation of changes to map drops, it's really necessary to restore some faith in you

I'm interested in how improved, improved is. Last night I ran 7 maps and after the 7th, I quit and went to playing an alt. Why? Playing the 7 maps, only 3 maps dropped.

Lol... I love how upset so many players are over the CoDT nerf. Serves you all right for not trying different builds out and collectively climbing onto a broken bandwagon. Did you guys seriously think that GGG was going to leave such a "cookie-cutter viable" gem THAT relevant? Just a bit naive aren't we?

Get over it, roll a new toon, or just quit. Most of you sound like you came straight from the BLIZZARD forums.
