Nerfing Defensive Archnemesis Modifiers

Most people hide most rare items that drop with their filter or don't even bother to pick them up....but yeah, it sucks to hide nerfs from the players, i'm just curious if they kepp to "the vision" if they go bankrupt or homeless. Harvest feels like a spit in everyones face, hey , here is your harvest, wipe your arse with it :)just remove it from the game already. Btw guys don't forget to log in , we need more testers.
Again, thanks for working on this game and updating it. Enjoying this league tremendously and appreciate the changes.
Maaan, I have my atlas on 30% quantity and been farming for 6 link div cards all day + vaal areas, got 1 card.... (and 1 shot by AN 20 level lower than my char)

never had such a late gate character that can't get 6L, this is a huge waste of time with no return, no fun al all
I appreciate this, but I don't think there's anything you can do to AN to make it ok for me to have to deal with it on every single rare in the game. I just want the old game back. Please think this over, make AN appear in only a few rares or something, make them less able to just outright destroy you if you have the wrong build, etc. It just needs a lot of work to be able to become an integral part of the game, it's just messing everything up.
CRYSTAL SKINNED NO NERFERINO ? CMON GGG , DO IT BETTER ! PLEASE.
THE DEEP SMELL OF YOU.. DANGEROUSLY MATCHES THE PERFUME INSIDE OF ME..
IT MUST BE MY HEART YOU ARE AFTER..
IT MUST BE MY LUNGS YOU ARE BREATHING FROM..
WE ARE NOT THE WINNERS OR THE LOSERS..
OH BABY WE ARE THE FIGHT ! ! !

Your game is dying and poe 2 won't save it. We had AN problem last leagues and now we have harvest and Loot disasters. Next league we'll have 2-3 new ones. It's over. And 90% of the issue is your cowardness in open communication with players. You lied and lied again. You're done. And I'm done too.

It's nice, but the league is already dead anyway ...


The whole game is headed that way...

I've been playing since open beta. From Race events, to timed content, the game has always been about DPS -- kill as much stuff as quickly as possible. Balance defense and offense. Be ready for all the mechanics that can be thrown at you. There are chase items and chase mods. Some you can grind for and some are RNG. But you can grind the currency to buy them form other luckier players.

This league and the last few have been huge disappointments.

I agree that when every streamer starts using the word "abuse" to describe a mechanic, that mechanic is probably OP to too exploitable and should be changed.

But nerfing skills, flasks, mana, speed, crafting ...everything the game has literally encouraged us to use... to make the game harder? That's such a betrayal.

I'm so sick of this game becoming harder and more bloated over time. Each time I think I finally can craft something nice, or afford to buy someone else's great item, something changes and that 70 exalt item I just bought is now not going to cut it. I play standard precisely because it takes me longer than a league to really ramp up a character to endgame farming. Some of us casual players have jobs and families and shit, too, you know.

Harvest was my favorite league because for once, good gear was farmable and deterministic enough for a solo player or casual player to make an endgame tier build. There was still a lot of RNG and risk for the top tier players who min-max everything to still require multiple tries at perfect rolls. Ever since Harvest, I've been half-heartedly signing into Standard to do a few dailies, but my passion and creative spark for testing and trying new builds and interesting mechanics has gone.

It's really sad to see the game I've invested the most time and money on lose touch with its players. I feel bait-and-switched this league and the few leagues previous.


When a player this invested in the game has this response, GGG hasn't just lost touch, GGG has LOST. Period.

As an investor in companies and products, it is HARD to gain a loyal customer base. I can understand going "another direction" if you see your existing customer base declining or moving and you must move with them, but POE has few competitors. Their base is static, and growing. Upsetting that base so they can attempt to secure a NEW base is just foolish, from an investment standpoint.
Setting aside "the game" from an investment standpoint, I hope they know what they are doing, because they are in New Coke territory...and that story is taught to EVERY MBA as what "not to do" with a loyal customer base.
man, now I realize about the negatives on online only and continuously "improved" games vs buy once games, when you like the game and everything going great it's awesome, but when you don't like the changes then you are forced out of the game, you simply have no choice... like I cannot go back to 3.13 state of the game and full around by myself with the whatever builds I like... it's either play this horrible no-loot, no-juice, gutted-crafting mess or not :(
3.23 was the best league of all time (an absolute banger)
Fix Loot: You stealth nerfed the Loot essentially by 90% and gave us 25 - 33% of the remaining 10% back. So we still lost 87% - what!?

Fix Crafting: There is no endgame crafting without Reforge more likely and Reforge keep Suffix/Prefix! Rare from the Ground will never ever be comparable to crafted loot - except when you luck out and identify something good. But how are we supposed to do that?! The Lootfilters filter almost every rare items out and even if we didn't filter them the odds of getting the right modifiers with the right tiers is too damn low.

Fix Endgame Mapping: With the loot changes there is effectivly no endgame mapping content. As demonstrated by several Groups or solo players with legacy quant/rarity Gear, you will lose money (if you buy your supplies from the market) for juicing up the maps.

=> There are no endgame Items to strive for, there are no real endgame mapping strategies with juicing your maps, Archnemesis Damage Modifiers are still insane (you build defense and still will be 1 shot) and to top it off there is no Loot.

AN gave me too many Flasks and armour scraps / weapon whetstone - how is this rewarding?...

sadge
PLEASE! for all that is good and Holy, PLEASE, put the delay back on the death screen so console players stop going back to town! we use circle and x as movement or guard skills, and since you made that pop up immediate, I have teleported to town about 20 times! (yes, I am not good at this game and have died that many times. lol) which is why it is so aggravating.
And the unrighteous will burn to ash!
