Development Manifesto - Path of Exile: Heist Balance Manifesto - Forum

so let me get this straight we finally get a league where a full on stealth build would actually be quite useful and instead of supporting the stealth mechanic you're flat out nerfing it? unless you introduce alot more stealth statted items into the game there's literally no reason to run a stealth build anymore	Posted by pikalovr on Sep 14, 2020, 7:58:16 PM Quote this Post
I have 4k hours in this game and consider myself far from casual. I am however, an alt player, I used to make up to 12 characters in a league, budget gear them, and see how far I got. You destroyed the game for me in pursuit of giving streamers a more challenging game. For 7 or so leagues in a row you've nerfed everything sensible or buffed npc's insensibly, the game is no longer fun to play, and unless changes are made, I will no longer play it. Even with reasonable investment, my characters are about 30% of what my budget characters used to be, and the game is just no longer fun to play, it's grind to access.

Only nerfs... "There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds." "The best items in the game should not be crafted, they should be TRADED." - Cent, GGG	Posted by frostzor27 on Sep 14, 2020, 8:00:34 PM Quote this Post

Bro,I just came back to POE after 2 years away.. and cleared all the bosses.. you need to adapt to the game. Change is hard but required.

Has no mention of underused ascendancies and pretty much only contains more nerfs to survivability while the game gets more and more glass cannon one shot or be one shot rippy as time goes on. This should be called an "anti-balance manifesto"	Posted by Lwe1389 on Sep 14, 2020, 8:04:29 PM Quote this Post
" ShadowAedan wrote: Ball Lightning Ball Lightning combined with Slower Projectiles outclassed the damage of other spells, so has had its damage and area lowered slightly. Why change the skill this way and not just the way slower projectiles interacts with it? This nerfs all other uses is the spell as well. I doubt it'll matter much to me. I like the spell and use it while leveling but never used it end game. Yeah seriously. Wouldn't it be better to encourage the skill to be used in different ways rather than make the pair mandatory? When I kill a man he stays dead.	Posted by mucker on Sep 14, 2020, 8:05:33 PM Quote this Post
