0.1.0d Patch Notes

where is ggg response to this?

they should address this !

All this ppl crying dont know what an EA is..lol, it happens.. make a new char copy another streamer build and move on, cry when is out of EA.

It's early access. Expect things to change. If you're playing a build that feels extremely far out from everything else power wise you're probably playing something broken and you should expect it to get fixed.

This patch is a disgrace. I'm not talking about the nerf, but the fact that the bricked characters aren't getting free respecs.

I literally came back to this game after not playing since closed beta and this nerf is so stupid in an EA ''paid beta'' that the only thing it did was revive my interest for the original game. If you are gonna brick builds, give people a respec token from the same hooded dude that already allows you to respec.

The cast on builds wasn't even that strong lmao, yeah they had good map clear but struggled when it comes to bosses and even some strong rares, that and they're are pretty damn squishy.

Also took a lot to get there, needing a lot of gems and multiple 3 socket gems, meaning multiple jeweler orbs, there's plenty of stronger builds atm too, especially with ranger/deadeyes and they didn't get touched, this bricked a good majority of sorc builds, some witch builds and monk too, it really wasn't well thought out, especially this early after game release.

A nerf would of been fine, maybe lower the damage a bit or instead of 8 comets per pack now it's 5 but now it's a comet per map pretty much, all this and the fact most people can't respec because they literally cost hundreds of thousands of gold, and then your gear and jeweler orbs costs on top of that.

Along with the multitude of reported fps issues, crashes, like wtf was you thinking with this patch, if this is what future patches are all going to be then I have severe worries for the future of PoE2.

using it's "Early Access" is just a bad excuse, the game is close to release and is being PAID for, respect peoples time and money, this isn't a closed beta test and it isn't your first game, you should have enough experience with this stuff.

TLDR - Nerfs are fine in moderation, slightly lowering numbers a bit so they don't over perform but don't brick them to be unusable and when you nerf major builds, offer free respecs and buff skills that are under performing to balance it out.

Chronomancer's increased buff duration is now no longer working

Early access is just a scapegoat. Bad balance team with no respect.

I don't understand this.

You nerf the only viable ability that cold sorc has, it wasn't even THAT good.
You don't even nerf it by a little. but by about 90%? like how is that a measured approach.

I want to play PoE2, but even if i reroll now, how do i know that my next build isn't also going to be deleted?

Very dissapointed. Hoping for it to get balanced again to be actually usable.

This not just about CoF, effectively you've broken any playable class on Console. With the dismally bad Right Stick targeting that doesn't allow you to select minions (if playing minion builds) or the enemies you want to target to manually explode freezes etc. Cast on X abilities like Cast on Ignite or Cast on Freeze were the only way to effectively play with a controller.

Take Cast on Ignite for example on a minion build, with only the Flammabilty debuff equipped on it, it allowed you to effectively debuff enemies and focus on attempting to mash you Offerings in a fight because of the bad targeting. Now with a controller you are spamming debuffs all over in the hope they go where you intended, and still trying unsuccessfully to effectively get your offerings down.

It's awful, in a regular minion fight, the minions are lucky to build 1-2% energy on CoI, because of the Power system you've enabled. Minions individual hits are well below any other abilities in the game producing much less energy. Meaning it's completely meaningless on a minion build to run any CoX abilities, and if you are playing minions correctly you are not using Cast on Minion Death.

Again, this helps 100% destroy console game play for most builds.
