The GGG way: Promote a gem , make people make build around it then Nerf it

I think you're all just dead wrong and missing the point.

Yes the gem needed a nerf, it was extremely powerful.

No, your build didn't got ruined with the CWDT nerf, it was poorly designed, holding itself up only with a lot of CWDT bandages all over it.

THE POINT IS, 3 days ago I log in, I take a CWDT gem linked to some other gems, I take damage, it works!today, it just doesn't work. At all. Yes I can scour active gems/level up CWDT to make it work again, but the developers should care enough to keep characters working as they did yesterday, and the day before that, and so on.

Imagine that you log in, you check your passive tree, and chaos innoculation suddenly has 2 more inteligence nodes before you can reach it. your CI point was replaced with one of the inteligence nodes leading to CI's new position. Well balls. Takes a little currency, remove a point here & there and you get it again, easy, yeah sure. But the point is you logged in and your character was suddenly NOT working as it was previously. that shouldn't happen.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you should've made CWDT trigger the highest possible level of the active gems allowed, instead of not casting it (for example: lvl 1 CWDT trigger a level 5 enduring cry while it's actually linked to a lvl 20 enduring cry). THAT would've been more of a nerf and not just poorly redesigning the gem.

Exactly what I am talking about. You whine constantly simply because people don't agree with you. Why are you even on the internet?

If you did stop to put together an actual argument instead of whines you still wouldn't make any sense because I don't defend GGG on everything and neither do the majority of the people you attack.

Pro Tip- Make a mature level headed argument and people might take you more seriously.

Pointing out the vocal fanboys on this forum is not whining, and as time goes on I see more and more people pointing you people out everyday, I was just one of the first to do it because i have been here so long> I thought I told you to get off my nuts, stop stalking me.

I don't recall seeing you make a coherent argument against anyone. You just Bitch that they disagree with you and then you Bitch about the community.

You constantly complain about the community which I am a a part of so why should I stop responding to you if you continue to insult all of us?

There is no point in arguing with the people I bitch about, you people are blind.

You people are some of the most worthless trash to fill this earth. Stop crying and adapt to the changes. Offer constructive criticism with logical and balanced solutions if you are up to it. Don't just sit there and bitch all day.

I am no tyrant. Seems like fun though. I hope you find your English :)

0/10

this nerf really isn't all that bad. You just need to take enduring cry out, level them up a bit and I bet it will save my life someday with immortal call (lvl 83 in nemesis).

It's still good end game to use.

This game is about different builds, in my eyes. Meaning that there shouldn't be a "go to" gem that EVERYONE uses.

Unfortunately for the OP and the "Non GGG Defense force" (I'm assuming by this you guys are meaning the people who agree with a change that they make at any situation and disagree, but I could be entirely wrong), CODT was this "go to" gem. It prevented people from taking damage with practically no downside, of course it's going to be nerfed!

For the record,

I agreed with Aura changes as well. Hate me for it, I guess...

I guess that means that Reduced Mana needs to be nerfed as well. Everyone uses it, so it must be OP. Who cares what it does to the fun of playing the game or to people's builds, we simply can't have everyone using the same gem.

The difference is that with CODT, people would use 3 skills, typically:

Enduring Cry, Immortal Call, or Molten Shell.

With Reduced Mana, people use a multitude of skills.

What I don't understand is how people thought it wasn't going to get changed


When a lvl 20 gem is considered worthless compared to a lvl 1 gem there is clearly a problem


I still can't use the three things attached to my gem ...but give me a few days and I'll have it lvled ...you would think it's the end of the world listening to some of the people around here

Somehow your Bitch posts are better than people who make real coherent arguments?

I would rather argue with ScrotieMcB all day because at least he responds with well thought out arguments instead of whines.
