To all the complainers against the Smoke Mine nerf, should you not use Lightning Wrap instead? I thought this one was teleporting minions just like in D2.

Who comes up with these ideas when making patch updates??! It's honestly hard to tell if it's the 2% of players complaining "this is op" or GGG developers that dont play their own game.

- Smoke mine nerf, even though I've never used it, I can clearly understand why guys are pissed since minions are constantly getting stuck when indoors. Smoke mine is supposed to teleport the player to make an escape and clearly minions are part of the player.

- Evangelist nerf is a double edge sword. Good for non summoners and solo players but bad for summoners that depend on the needed defenses provided since items and skill tree mods are becoming less viable for builds every new patch.

- Vaal orb drop rate reduction was uncalled for. Besides the fact that they barely drop as it is, those orbs were the best way for people to craft their own gears (or gamble) without having to spend hours trying to trade with other players and argue down currency values let alone items.

- Checkpoints....ABOUT TIME!!! This is well needed for many of us that get random disconnects from the game, while being in the middle of a area trying to find a waypoint. Lag and desync makes this change a blessing.


Other than rogue exiles using vaal skills(which damn well wont require them to "charge" up the souls needed.) the rest of the patch seems fine. but I got the feeling that like most buffs there will be a nerf to the same things within 1 or 2 patches later which defeats the purpose. Chris and other GGG staff, please take a vote / tally from actual players about skills / items BEFORE nerfing them.

These patches turn fun into frustration with trying to make viable builds without following some random guy's "guide" or whatever is popular at the time.

Pretty sweet patch as usual.

Although, one thing really bugs me..

Spoiler

So much butthurt in every freakin' single patch thread. If there's only a minor aspect of the game you like/dislike, and a patch changes something about that minor aspect, I suggest looking for another game. If you don't like the game at its core, you never will. Patches aren't supposed to drastically change the game into something else, into your vision of what the game should be like. Patches are for tweaks and minor features. Exceptions being Sacrifice of the Vaal which was a mini-expansion.

Just take the game for what it currently is. If you don't like what it is, move on and stop wasting your time.
