A petition for removing or rebalancing specific unique from the game asap.

What blows my mind is the absolute, steadfast resistance to the idea of work/reward in this community. You farmed enough to afford a pair, or got to a point where you could farm the boss enough to see them drop? Why the hell shouldn't the game reward you handsomely for something like that?

What blows my mind is how people associate work/reward system with trivializing the game and all future content that is going to come just because of one item, to be precise because of one atribute thats straight out better than vaal pact.

My opinion is that there should be more items like this. Similar in power, and just as difficult to get. If the game is to have insane challenges like killing Uber Atziri, the rewards should be just as insane. Sounds pretty sane to me!

i can see where this comes from to make it short: Moar power creep.

Would anyone in the class like to point out at least ten builds that trivialize the game, without using the gloves in question? Or, can we just accept that this is yet another example of "Acuity/not Acuity" hivemind thinking at work?

Re: power creep, get used to it. It's a thing that will inevitably happen. You can live with that fact, or you can just walk away from this game and the entire genre while you're at it.

That doesn't mean that you can't try to contain it within the context of extremely challenging content and work/reward... which is exactly what I'm advocating. If we are to have such items-- and they will leak into this game one way or another-- they should at least be behind an appropriately thick wall.

So, I say: Let's have an Acuity for non-crit builds!

this is nothing new every build also have a weakness and acuity is removing this weakness in case of crit builds which are the most powerful builds in the game anway.

No, GGG showed nice attitude on crown of Eyes im pretty confident they will watch closley to not ruin their game by introducing even more items similar to atziri gloves. I think chances are good that gloves gonna be balanced retroactivley. Dont like it? get used to it, see what i did there?

Again the work/reward arguement, its like saying that a player which played long enough deserves an aura that makes him immune to death just because he played enough.

Edit: dont get me wrong im all for work/reward, its just that these gloves are "too much of a possible reward".

Game is ruined because of the hardest item to acquire, an item that a fraction of a fraction of the playerbase has... got it.

Must suck being so myopic.

Must suck to run out of arguments.

Btw i didnt said the game is ruined, i said they will watch closley to not ruin it which is a difference but nevermind.

Yep, crushed by the overwhelming weight of the logic presented here.

They made a baby shavs. They'll probably make a baby acuity too.

Their is a baby acurity :P

Vaal pact.

Captain JJJ to the rescue:
-"Dont worry my fellow casuals we will balance these broken uniques... By making them ten thousands times rarer !"
-"and if it will not work out... We will nerf them leaving broken versions of them in economy we care so much about, bcoz you know we balance the game around the economy!"

Ermagherd genius...


Ps. Sorry but someone had to.

I might get flamed for this but idc...

These gloves are only "op" because they counter a stupid game mechanic that shouldn't exist in the first place. Since when is it fun to shoot a volley of projectiles outward from your character only to have them smash into a reflect pack off your screen and 1 hit yourself. Lets be real, remove the bullshit reflect mechanic from random rare monsters (keep the map mod) and then these gloves will become utility rather than essential. I am glad these gloves exist because if they didn't, I would 1 shot myself every time 1 projectile flies off screen by accident. Random reflect is the problem, not the gloves.



P.S.
If you do decide to flame me, at least ensure that your character deals more than 50 dps because only then will you truly understand reflect.
