yesterday in act4 I saw a little red spaceman!!!

Self medication is a bad thing.

It was a Russian mtx pet and it looked fucking stupid for a "dark and gritty" game.

Percentage of overall player time spent in each league the last week

Standard - 20.54%
Hardcore - 0.73%
Prophecy - 65.63%
Prophecy Hardcore - 13.10%

01. August 2016...

Two months into the challenge league and 4 out of 5 players still play the league. Of course they care more about the leagues than about Standard. And of course they balance the game from time to time so things change in Standard. This game is so unbelievable complex that I would call any person insane, that really thinks PoE doesn´t need a tweak from time to time.

*edit* btw I fully agree that a red space whatever pet shouldn`t belong to this game and doesn´t fit the style at all.

Screwing the guys with the most longterm time investment and destroying all their build up work is the top of a lot of shitty decisions in 2016

Btw those guys pay your salary Gj to the decision

Holy shit this is so fucking dumb someone should get fired

What nerfs?

I made 5 builds pre patch, 3 of them havent been touched and 2 are still ok, not great btw.

GGG nervs builds that players feel forced into , THEY HAVE TO DO. They dont give a shit if xy is OP unless its played by most players.

So anyone with half a brain could see the notes comming...

Lets see this way: EarthQuake is(was) Overpowered compared to other melee skills. True.

So balance team 1: -Lets only nerf it a bit, so other melee skills are as attractive as it.

Balance team 2: -Lets buff all other skills, and buff monster life, so all melle skills are attractive as earthquake.

Nerf is good to balance, works the same path as buffing the rest. If used right. And i saw only nerfs to overpowered things (at least the most).

Eartquake mtx buyers already know nerf(balance) was comming, not like its was a huge nerf.

Guys we needed those nerfs, it was obvius and expected, next time don't play broken OP meta builds and you will be fine. We had so much powercreep last months, now its time to tone it down for a good health of game long turn. Unless you want God Mode with clickin one mouse button and everything dies ...
I played many GG builds and they were nerfed soon after, i knew that nerf will come and now planing new builds i expect that it can be changed between leagues. We need to sometimes change builds so the game not become boring in standard. And in temp leagues its of course better to play differents builds each league (or few differents builds within those 3 months).
I understand also those who spend many exalts on some builds and now will lose part of its value, well that happens all time, to everyone.

You just don't get it.

Could you please kindly stop bumping this topic every single second, sir?

It is clear that not everyone is happy with nerfs, but it's a game, it has to be done from time to time and the game will go on. Other builds will emerge, new stuff going to be interesting, just get over with it.

It's okay OP your tears are why I support GGG
