Nerfs just one league after another. Removed all the alt gems. Removed all the useful enchants. Changed the existing gems in ways that end up overall being less dps. Don't worry, we added some new gems with slight differences in their mechanics so that will make up for everything you lost. Oh and the new ascendancies that Standard players don't even get until the devs decide it goes core. All this will make up for everything you lost. Is no one else seeing what's happening? ohhh no bosses will die in 0.2 seconds instead of 0.1 ohhh the horror, make it stop	Posted by joshstation on Dec 4, 2023, 4:42:19 PM Quote this Post

So with all the projectile speed removal, are these at all compensated by other changes like increasing the base speed of those projectiles, or is it intended these abilities will be slower? Likewise with minion health and area of effect. I could see the benefit of removing some needless scaling, making the abilities feel slightly better at lower level by having them at full speed at 1, and a little less broken in edge cases pumping up gem levels. But if its simply gems have less speed, hit less enemies, and minions are easier to kill. Ouch.	Posted by jerot on Dec 4, 2023, 4:49:42 PM Quote this Post

"Dev's are always right. People who play the game and fund the devs are just whining and don't have a right to an opinion." That's all I got out of your comments Better yet, each time there are some awful changes, let me make sure I defend all of it and praise how good it is so that way you feel better about the situation. Then, everyone's happy and we can sit there with rose-tinted glasses and pretend everything is ok and that the devs are infallible and make 100% correct decisions ALL of the time. 🔷🔶🔰🌀✨Standard>Leagues✨🌀🔰🔶🔷 🔷🔶🔰🌀✨Make trade like the Grand Exchange from RuneScape✨🌀🔰🔶🔷 Let us zoom out more.
