Announcements - 3.20 Balance Manifesto: Curses - Forum

" DragonSound wrote: Your game needs work and if all of these things are not going to be ready for poe 2 then that needs to be delayed. You are actually very optimistic when you think they will not delay Poe 2 several times for whatever reason. They delayed every league start this year and it's only minor thing compared to a whole new game. And sadly not a single one delayed league was better in anything than the previous.

In some cases, both are needed to counterbalance the significant upside of automation. Otherwise, the option to automate will always be the obvious choice and eclipse other more interactive gameplay styles." Do you guys just HATE Accessibility players or what??? Every other studio is reaching out to partner with Accessibility Organizations to ensure their game is playable (and without pain) for everyone. You guys seem bound and determined to go the exact opposite direction. As an Li/Low APM player (from physical injuries) and a supporter of Accessibility in Gaming Organizations and charities, I have to say this is kind of disgusting. I already have to plan my builds around automation just to play your game at all. I always sacrifice a ton of DPS. It's the only way a lot of us can play at all. I just don't understand why you want to drive us away. I am right here with you in the Accessibility boat. Know you are not alone in these struggles. I have played PoE since alpha and the amount of disdain they show to the accessibility group is becoming putrid.	Posted by jehzir#0683 on Nov 28, 2022, 12:04:27 PM Quote this Post
forgot the doom in the calculation. so for a map boss with 33% less curse effect. one curse 40% increased damage taken. doom is removed. so we lose the 1,3 multiplier. and gain the removal of 33% less. so we go from 40%1,30,66 = 40%*86% to 40% so we gain 5,6% on map bosses. and we re nerfed on all automated curse. looooooooooooool Last edited by SerialF#4835 on Nov 28, 2022, 12:05:32 PM	Posted by SerialF#4835 on Nov 28, 2022, 12:05:04 PM Quote this Post

a new campaign, if they do it right, is a new game, especially with new ascendancies and much improved graphical engine and also a change in game pace. for any game this would be enough to be called a new game.	Posted by SerialF#4835 on Nov 28, 2022, 12:12:31 PM Quote this Post

What are your plans for Vixen's Entrapment gloves? because they don't work since you introduced the "hex" tag to the gems.	Posted by darko07#6859 on Nov 28, 2022, 12:28:30 PM Quote this Post
Strip Occultist from its identity, while making it do 10% less damage and take 10% more damage. Like wtf, why aren't people reacting to this ultimate nerf ?! And I'm not even talking about all the minor nerfs (which in themselves should have been more than enough). But NOOO, we need to triple/quadruple nerf obviously. What is the point ? Seriously what is the point ? The ''reasons'' given in this manifesto make no sense. Actually wait, no reasons were given for removing malediction on cursed monsters. Just delete the Occultist ascendancy at this point. Seriously... Want everyone to play Saboteur, Champion, Inquisitor and Necromancer it seems... as they have all been broken for years thumbs up emoji Affliction and Necropolis worst leagues ever. The current game design has slowly turned this game into a loot-shower fest, chase uniques are way too available; and obtaining chase items through stacked decks simply isn't fun. Rework stacked decks needed. Last edited by Senju_Hyoketsu#6098 on Nov 28, 2022, 12:45:41 PM	Posted by Senju_Hyoketsu#6098 on Nov 28, 2022, 12:44:09 PM Quote this Post
I like that curses are getting a buff, but did you have to nerf Occultist like that? Other ascendancies can use curses too.	Posted by avenema80#0557 on Nov 28, 2022, 12:48:58 PM Quote this Post
