Nerfing Defensive Archnemesis Modifiers

My name is Nerf

bruh.

please fix the loot the season is already gone just fix the loot already

I was so excited for Kalandra. I started playing in Sentinel league and loved it.

I worked my way until I got to maps in Kalandra and then it hit me. I don't like the game. It isn't fun. I have hardly any currency. I can't play around with crafting much. I can't get decent gear. I am getting one shot in maps again and again. There is no way for me to learn much because I don't have any resources to learn with. Then I realized most people don't like the game.

Kalandra = Frustration.

Why? GGG nerfed drops by 80% to 99% and then gave back 1% to 6%. Who does that? What sort of ideologue adjusts the game to suit their preferences and ignores the thousands of people who play it?

I have lost confidence in GGG. Their fixes are pathetic and condescending.

GGG apparently wants to be a really hard unrewarding grind game that punishes you. I have better things to do with my life.

Bad way weakness of monster and shorting the time of gsme. Game should have parts where time is longer and hard to pass , that is way some player want play such game. The game should not be on influence player who wants pass game in 5 minutes. Bad idea was if player dies becouse of leak of weak defense not because of long parts of the game.

I think this is a good step in the right direction. The concept of AN is fine, you just need to get the numbers right.
Touch up some offensive mods maybe and it’s great.

The tradeable lifeforce change is amazing, but the removal of certain crafts is not. Removing the busted add/remove was reasonable, but we need reforge keep.

And you went way to far in nerfing loot drops for juiced content. Nerfing it a bit is fine, but again, you need to get the numbers right.

I trust you can rebalance the game to a good state.

A small step in the right direction, but still not enough.

WHAT PLAYERS WANTED:
* Loot values restored (i.e. buffed back by ~90%)
* Archnemesis gone especially from League mechs
* Harvest crafts restored and lifeforce values increased by 400% (the general consensus is that they would need to drop 4 times as much to be viable and usable - this is just what I gathered, I didn't play Harvest at all this league so wouldn't know)
* Divine/Ex changes reverted, or some good solution for people to be able to reroll (partially fixed by fixing the above)
* Widescreen support
* Buffs to minion life/minion builds so they're still viable

WHAT GGG GAVE US:
* 25% increase to loot which is utter **** compared to the nerf. But yay we get more rares for our filters to hide
* Archnemesis somewhat nerfed but still in game - will need testing to see if it's ok now including (especially) for league content light Blight, Delirium, Betrayal, Incursion, etc. Probably not, all things considered.
* Lifeforce values boosted by 200%...maybe ok-ish but...what would we craft with it anyway? Since the remaining crafts are almost useless.
* No solution to Divine/Ex
* No widescreen support
* No buffs to minions

So TLDR you take away so much of the fun out of POE and give back scraps, and expect players to piss themselves with excitement over these changes. *Slow clap*

Still not a game I'm even excited to play - paying for it is out of the question for now.

Tomorrow we will post an explanation of what our intentions were with the balance changes in this expansion and what went wrong with our process. We're sorry for the delay on this, it has been a bit of a week.

I dont get how you still fail to communicate well enough to avoid such situations. The more often you guys change things without explanation and without note to then apologize afterwards the less trust you get.

How can someone at GGG still think this is the way.
How can you still feel confident with yourself and the decisions you make league after league after league.

At some point even the so called "back in the days Indy" GGG should be able to launch a league without causing drama. It is time to grow the heck up as a company and release leagues in a transparent and trustworthy way people can rely on. Dont you get that people plan according to your schedule and getting pissed of for years almost?

looks like it is finally time to give up on having a good game to play this weekend. Guess ill try something else out.

So glad I skipped this league. GGG continues to not listen at all.

Arch Nemesis IS NOT FUN. Go back and take a look at the stats during the Arch Nemesis league, and see how often people chose to interact with some of the mods you refuse to remove. There's a reason no one wanted to interact with them.

For example, giant degen mods are a huge nightmare for melee builds. It basically makes them impossible to kill. If somehow they also get haste or teleport, it's game over.

It feels like all your testing is done with ranged characters that kill everything off-screen.

[Removed by Support] I'm done posting on here, begging you guys to listen. Do what you want. You always do anyways.
