New and Changed Skill Gems in Path of Exile: Expedition

Googbye GGG.

You appear to have created a good league and then ruined the entire game with your "Balancing" which is not balancing at all.

You have successfully alienated 90% of your player base.

You have just rendered anything I consider fun unplayable.

I am uninstalling POE after several years as an avid player.

I hope your streamers spend enough money to keep you in business since you are catering to them at the expense of your other players.
since when did CYCLONE NEEDED A BUFF???

-Why didn't you nerf aurabots? Is this favouritism from developers?
-We don't have a specific plan that we are ready to commit to yet.

Chris, just like all times before, with HARD CAP, now for REDUCED RESERVATION OF SKILLS.

For example: "Maximum reduced reservation of skills now is 75%."
I want this line in 3,15a not later ;)

Hello ggg,

Since I don't have the time right now no matter how good the league and patches would be I can't contribute to active player numbers at this time.

But I really appreciate the take on trying to slow down the game even more and take away dmg and power from players is absolutely something I am looking forward to again once I got the time for it.

Making gems more self sufficient as well would also help.
Cast on crit gem should give a small amount of crit, even without quality. Aan archmage gem should have a small amount of added mana and/or mana regen.
Most gems aren't efficent by themselves, and so alot of gems are being used to stabilise an abilities effect or damage instead of for adding fun or interesting options.
There are alot of build that actually require 6-link to even work half decent.

Making Boss fights have weaknesses might help add more diversity in skills.
For example;
If a Boss Fight where the Boss has high resist to everything but fire and chaos, but that spawned minions that were high resist to fire and chaos to protect itself.
At the moment anything yellow or higher is basically resist all, so it is just a matter of stacking damage well or using exposure, which would still be done, but atleast as an option instead of a requirement.
Aligned versions of maps with + and - 75% to two damage types could be a future path too. No need to even remove mods, as they will just make mixed or stacked versions.
Resistances should be a bit more rare and alot more mixed. Even without weaknesses added, monsters should have a cap to the amount of damage types they can gain resistances to. This should include bosses.

There are plenty of options and better ideas, but the "Just add water" concept seems to be the go-to fix method for everything instead.

I great;y welcome the new gem choices, even if most of them are just going to have the exact same 6-link and supports that I used last league. lol.

For the sake of experience, yes, and you should agree that POE was more interesting with less stuff before, and more deadly.

I am sorry, that is your personal opinion. I never enjoyed Harvest too much, for example. Youtube is guilty for that, publishing 'famous' builds just shown on image.

Don't do that, mate! At least you will give away your exalted orbs right? :)
