Nerf Vaal orbs

Devs...if you've read the moronic commentary by all the millennials on this thread...sorry you had to go through that. change your vaal orbs. show us your adults and can see perspective. they are too destructive and you know it. I am just one of many that you will no longer get any $$$ from

Here is a fact, if you use a vaal orb on an item you worked months to acquire, you are one of two things, brave or stupid. In most cases its the stupid.

Here is another fact, if you are stupid there is no problem with the game feature you used, its not unbalanced, destructive or makes people quit.

Every argument made so far in the defense of OPs' opinion is just various flavors of entitlement on behalf of people who act without thinking. I have been playing the game for almost two years now and in that time I have seen a LOT of people use vaal orbs in chat, not one of them declared they would quit the game after they got a shit result. I have bricked tons of expensive items in my time playing as well, none of which were ones I could not afford to lose.

The more I think of the indignant rage OP had towards this situation as well as his lack of regard for game features the more I am inclined to believe he purchased the disfavor with real money from an external site and used a vaal orb on it like an idiot thinking it would make it even better. I highly doubt anyone who plays long enough to earn the currency necessary to buy one and six link it would make that mistake.

What we do need nerfed in the game is the amount of people who act without thought, blame others/the system for their own mistakes and think that others should think for them so they can't make the mistakes in the first place.


Well said. And actually the point you made about him buying his weapon RMT makes a lot of sense. Anyone whos put that much time into the game to aquire an item that valuable should know what a Vaal Orb does. Not only that but im pretty sure you would look it up even if somehow you didnt know.

So basically what weve got here is someone crying about losing their money because they failed to understand game mechanics because they decided to cheat instead of learning the game. Well Played GGG, now I like Vaal orbs even more, lol.


no actually what we've got here is a kid that believes the devs of PoE are gods...even though they nrf just about everything they put out...(dead giveaway but oh well)

"they failed to understand game mechanics" ...of a game that changes by the months? which patch are you referring too?

If GGG patched an update to Vaal orbs so that a Vaal orb couldnt totally brick an item i wonder what your little voice would be towing

People born as early as early 80s of the past millenium. more often than not, following political correctness and hiding from opposite points of view in their safe spaces. Sometimes also identified with social justice warriors.

+1 for the likely rmt purchase. you just CANNOT get to the point of obtaining the best axe in the game and 6 linking it without knowing that the vaal orb can brick your item. legit that is

millenials are the guys in their early 20s/late teens right now. in some countries known as the no-worries/no-problem/no-though generation

but i could be a father of one of these guys and i still smell rat in this entire thread

Each and every one of those vaal orbs is a clik away from someone quitting


If only everyone with this opinion WOULD quit. My god. You talk all this shit about "millenials" when it is YOU that is being the little crybaby about bricking your RMT'd item.
U MAD?
I'm baffled on what to even say in this thread.

ITT : Guy pretends he doesnt know how a vaal orb works and gets fucked.

Then more whiners complain

Then random guy somehow thinks politics is even relevant in this thread while pretending hes a major supported with an account thats barely 7 months old.

LUUUL.

This thread is truly amazing. Thank you everyone who participated in it, especially the OP. Good show. My favorite is how the OP is resorting to calling people names because they didn't support his stupid complaint. It's the kind of maturity I would expect from a five year old.

In case the OP is actually serious I'll leave my feedback as well: Vaal orbs are a great mechanic and could stand to be more dangerous to use. If people don't mouse over the orbs before using them and get angry that's their own fault.
