Exact details of EXP nerf

Just adding my voice against this. Already said, but hardcore grinders are set back by hours at best, casuals that struggle towards a single 100 by weeks-months.

Deadpeng,

I am in similar situation like you. I have nothing more to do than just go to level 100. I am level 98 and standard player only.

Here is what I found


Palace average xp 825,8
639
950
826
955
759

Conserv average xp 894
1044
707
979
846
instant dead 5.6k hp + 1.6k es boss stone from roof killed me

Shrine average xp 770
847
811
774
725

Arsenal average xp 770
771
1156

Springs average xp 650
898
1124
614
618
661

Plateau average xp 695,2
702
723
683
665
703

Gorge average xp 600
654
508
599
888
604

Only some of them had pack size +10% or 20%, but difference is not so big in the end.

So for me as I can not run Conservatory maps as I can be instakilled on full hp/es from bosses spell, my best second option is Palace with 820k xp. Plateu gives me 700k xp and Gorge 600. From economy or time perspective I will get more from Plateau and Gorge. Killing boss on level 14 map gives around 140k xp.

Before patch I was playing and buying only maps lvl 12 and 13 as I get more xp from them than lower tier maps, but now it seems I go to play only Plateau and Gorge. Benefits are: I have not to spend much currency on buying and crafting maps and I have not much chances to die.

My frustration: I play this game in total no more than 4 months. I quited because of reflect year ago. I play from middle of march now, got all gear U can check and wanted to buy mirrored staff and gathered 150ex. I liked that Ascendancy and supported GGG with cash again like year before. Now I have 60 dollars, but with their nerf I am going to buy tomorrow Grim Dawn. I will play PoE more I think, but they killed my spirit/feeling to play that game and I am rather disgusted with their manipulation and disability to make game progress consistent and I feel no more satisfaction from playing PoE last two days. I will sell all I can for ex and after (and if) I hit lvl 100 I wont create any new goals to do in this game as GGG with this patch (nerfs) told me, that they are not trust worthy and are taking care only about league, which is unacceptable for me. If I knew that Ascendancy was only to get more people hooked and after new patch throw obstacles in the way, I would never bother with playing that game and support them with my time and money again.

For 1% on lvl 98 u need 3x tier 14 maps (level 81) + a bit another one. In total its more than 300 tier 14 maps to get to lvl 99.

As u stated to get 1% with tier 11 map (level 78) is needed 4.5 maps, than economy looks following:

Lvl 14 map is 30c than 1% costs Ex and 30 chaos + a bit. For 100% u need 150ex +. More than 300 maps.

Lvl 11 map is 5c than 1% costs 23 chaos. For 100% u need 39 ex. 450 maps.

That ratio is just ridiculous.

I was running ONLY plat and gorge rotations this league. 92-100 2109 runs with 3 lag-deaths on 93 94 and 97. 1400c spent. 98-99 475 runs 15-18m\h, 99-100 588 runs 12-15m\h. So on 98lvl I just dinged HALF of this "path of rotations".
Im pretty new to this game and didnt tried to ding 100 last league, but anyway I can say this exp nerf is obvious weird. That was worst 14 days ive ever played in this game and I dont want to repeat such "path".
