Nerfing Defensive Archnemesis Modifiers

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 :(

Maybe one day the POE code will get leaked and someone make a private server.

Look what happened to WoW XDD

resistances for enemies should cap at 50%

I HATE this constant spam of "League/Game Dead" but in the hyperbole there are real reasons to be upset. The recent patch made drops feel a bunch better. So thanks for that. (Though you probably shouldnt have stealth nerfed drop rates by 90% to begin with). However, Harvests need looked at. Crafting still feels terrible. Minion builds need re-tested at endgame, and NM Offensives still need tweaking--There is often zero counterplay, you just die. This isnt fun design.

So you are done with loot?

to be honest i don't want Archnemesis mods to removed, Archnemesis mods was the fresh air as rare mods, my issue was how rippy one shot yet so tanky they were and honestly they were not optional at all. and how literally bricking old mechanics and it was impossible to skip heist rares while trying to escape constantly interrupting the progress of doors, blight was failing because of them breach , alva incursions and delirium were unkillable because timer mechanic because how long it take to kill one, thats being said this defense nerfs i am not sure how this gonna feel but it seems pretty good ? maybe just maybe after this still doesn't work maybe limit Archnemesis Mod spawn only for older leagues to have 1-2 at most ?

Okay now do the offensive and support mods.

I'm an older player, in my 50s - had an original 2600 kinda lifelong nerd - last year I got Covid and hit hard, then immediately had a stroke. I accept I will probably not do Uber bosses, can't really see Sirus well enough or react fast enough, and I'm fine with that. I've given up other games, having to withdraw from Raid teams because I was becoming a liability. I'm fine with that, you get older.
But since your nerfs, I've played 1 map, 2 Lakes, and 3 unique heists, a pretty small sample size. My character comfortably took down Maven's 10 (I died once for being dumb), can take down tier 16 bosses without a hiccup. I was one shot five times over those six instances. One heist had two Innocence rares and something that melee killed me from flying in off screen. I didn't die to the robot dude that drops a jewel, but I was just destroyed by the rares in the run up. I did a Metamorph encounter in the lakes (level 80 map at a difficulty 5 or 6), it dropped 1 white, 1 blue, and one one socket rare bow.
In the hour and a half I played today, I had disappointing loot and disheartening one shot or just overwhelming deaths from the mobs that shouldn't be the main threat in the game.
Life has been hard, two years ago I was the General Manager of a top rated bar in Austin Tx, now I struggle with all aspects of life. I can't do a lot of things I used to. But if I was smart, and planned, and grinded, I could still enjoy one of my all time favorite games. And you've taken that from me this league.
I understand you as a team have a vision of what the game should be. I understand that sometimes your customer base don't want what you want to be. I just want to feel my failures in this game are earned. That my successes are rewarded. And you've taken that from me.
I don't buy as many supporter packs as I used to, I can't afford to any more, but I'd say I've spent as much if not more than any subscription based game in the past. I've always been happy with that, you were the good guys. But to read how you've 'fixed' things and log into an hour and a half of failure feels like a betrayal.
I'll probably keep playing, because it's the only game I really have left, but I will end with the famous line, "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed."

Thank you for that list of terrible suggestions

Dear GGG u are still soooo tone deaf
we want archnemesis gone not slitly easier to kill
or at least nerf the damage too. is so useless to nerf the defences the issue is that my jugg (24k armor +determination +falsk ,90% max res) getting ones shot in t1 maps by 4 moded archenemisi rares, also they are everywhere

Now take a look at offensive, esp the lightning ones they're FAR too spammy.
