Wow didn't realize the exp nerf was that bad. I've mostly been playing the new league but decided to take my Pathfinder on some suicide maps...rares, crazy mods and Turnip, I'm sorry brother but I've been opening EVERY DAMN STRONGBOX I can find...and sometimes I stand RIGHT ON TOP...and yet, I still haven't died. I facetanked a high level Brutus and even the Malformation boss...ok I dodged a few of those spinning flamebeams, then I said screw it and I just facetanked FrankenPiety...and again...did not die. WTF...had a few close calls as I am not trying to level right now.
Got a Lv 79 Zana mission with +28 pack size...I think I got 1% for clearing it. Yeah, pretty bad nerf. 97.04%...again...not really trying to grind...just want to have some fun. Especially since my new character has been a complete train wreck in the new league...ugh...I forgot how hard it is to build a COC character from scratch! Speaking of the much hated CoC...has anyone tried out the new FrostBolt and Vortex gems? I happened to have a 20/20 Ice Nova gem lying around from an old dead character and holy freakin' crap is it insane with cast on crit. Just imagine a cold based spell that covers the screen like Ball Lightning but does much better damage and then imagine dozens of Ice Novas exploding after it directly on your foes...my gem is only Lv 16 and it is already wrecking things like a boss. Tends to lock up the screen...but I'm really loving it...so at least there is something positive to report! :) |

97.05%...still...not trying. :D
Ran a +1 packsize Courtyard map...then got a Lv 80 Zana mission with +2 packsize. For clearing both maps I went from what looked like about 4.5% to a little over 5%. Ugh...and I'm only Lv 97! Rngesus, however, dideth granteth thine fine bounty: Gl mapping to all...I need some more booze. ^_^ |

Died at 95% due to volatile flameblood.
I nearly vomited in front of my screen. My character is tanky enough to survive volatile blood, but that one got a lucky bonus from map mods. If not for the exp nerf, that would have been a death at 105% at level 100, which means the death never happened. I am so pissed off with this... |

As Deadpeng, I feel like I've been raped by a bunch of obese guys... I just died in a relatively easy map, with one of my best build, being in 97 with 86%...
Spikes of damage in this version are absolutely off limits. I can deal face to face with Lady Stormflay (Precinct Boss, TIER 11) the same time as a group of leapslamers jumps on my, without moving just getting damage, but a group of 5 or 6 blue mobs kill me in a TIER 12 without I reach react... I lost all the progress of this weekend in less than 2 seconds. It seems that GGG wants to reduce its number of users. Me for example I do not care in the least start new characters. As things stand now, I'm not going to spend a measly dollar to support this crap. So what we're left? Getting to 100 and say goodbye? Continue with other characters already created it seems currently not a good option... What you want GGG? could you explain us?... Bethesda is known for having good ideas and terrible realization of them. GGG is a Bethesda subsidiary or what?

Sorry about the RIPs guys. I ran a T11 Academy with 44% to packsize...and got about 1/2 of 1% for completing it. So...it would take 200 to get to 98? Damn...I think I'm going to do as I have been doing, play Prophecy, and just build up more maps from Zana dailys...

CONGRATS DEADPENG!!! :)
You're the first on this thread to hit 100 since we started...I think Sarang wasn't too far behind you...hopefully he'll get there soon too. I think the exp nerf and the new league has buried our thread a bit...I'll admit I'm staying put at 97 for the moment as I'm still tweaking my Pathfinder and having fun in the new league. Saw the other thread on your build...I had no idea you were doing a trapper...always wanted to try one of those builds...very cool stuff. :D |

Ok,
So after some depression at this madness of a nerf I'm carrying on. I've been playing pc games for 30 years and in all that time I have never seen a nerf from a patch that so viciously attacks the small guy trying to make it. As posters have said before - the streamers and pros et al will get to 100 in 3 weeks instead of 1 - where guys like us are so heavily penalised. I know and doubt this will happen, but a pledge from us solo mappers to reduce the exp penalty slightly. I doubt this would happen - but don't ask don't get la de da. Anyway, I went from 97 64% to 97 65% after 5 t10s. I like killing stuff. And I'm going to kill a lot more stuff. And I would encourage all the great fighters and warriors on this post to keep going. Yes, I'll be 75 when I get there, but i like to kill monsters. I've started a solo self found who is lvl 44 so will split time between the masochism and leveling an alt. Hope some people come back to this thread and try for the big one. Everest just got three times its size, but I'm still climbing. Turnip |

Good luck, Sarang. I gave up on Prophecy weeks ago (boring)...but am still playing a little standard. Not grinding, just stocking up maps from Zana and drops and doing lots of MF runs with my Chieftain to get more currency and gear.
Think I'm going to wait for the big end game changes that are coming...also don't know how bad my COC Pathfinder will get hit with the almighty nerf stick...if that happens as bad as I think it will, I will probably give up grinding past 97 altogether, lol. Wow, you did all 40 Prophecy challenges...I stopped at 10...ha ha. ;) |

The cospri's reach of the council tornado shot build I've taken is the most fun I've ever had in this game. That's the only reason I'm sticking with prophecy :P
