I am not, but your to stuck up in me being wrong about everything that you cant fathom the entire picture this overhaul presents.

Build diversity got a major boost with this x-pac, your just to butt-hurt about your particular combo being reshaped that you cant see it.

I even got that same combo on some character, but my butt does not hurt so i am comfortably watching all the data without anger or eye-lids on.

Peace,

If you want content, Act Four is what you've been looking for.

What we want is for our old characters to work Chris. The extent of the "balance" changes is extremely disheartening. I am of course going to wait and see how things turn out but I am positive at least one of my characters is unsalvageable.

It is poor design decision to make such sweeping changes this long after release. The nature of the changes (removal of buff effect nodes, shotgunning, and EB) are especially jarring.

As others have said in this thread it seems like these changes were only implemented for changes sake and I am also of this view. None of the things listed in the balance notes were actually imbalanced with the possible exception of prolif.

This kind of changing for changes sake is not good for the game. It actively damages it.

I know you mean well and you really care about the community. You have personally answered my emails on several occasions (including once at 1am NZ time).

I am still excited for the new map layouts, bosses, lore, and item filters. But my excitement is overshadowed by dread that my beloved characters are going to be gutted.

I really hope some of the changes listed will be reversed, but I am not holding my breath. =(

I am going to try the game first before I jump to any conclusions about anything. I don't pay a monthly sub so I really don't feel entitled to get upset about anything.

Nerf to auras: aura buff nodes removed.

Buff effect nodes not aura buffs.

We're getting a new fancier game instead of playing the same rehashed crap over and over.

This is awesome and exciting, I am very much looking forward to it.

I won't, it's not in my nature to do so.

But i am being called out, so i reserve the right to form a reply.

And i have no doubt's, it's clear as day if you look at the information presented.

Buff effect nodes work on auras bro. My LL shavs shadow read that line of the patchnotes with trepidation.

changing meta is best thing ever, this makes you play different builts, if there were no changes every1 would just play the same built and not theorycraft, imo theory crafting is biggest feature of path of exile, i spend
more time planning my character than actually playing it, i love it
