Very unhappy with passive point transfer in standard

Holy crap this update sucks. I'm so stoked to experience the expansion, but I REFUSE to do anything with my level 90 witch right now until they fix this passive skill/storyline spoiler mess.

And I am NOT about to start over with a new character just because GGG is lazy/stupid. I've got over 350 hours on my witch and I'm not doing that again JUST to figure out what the FORK is going on with the story line and to find all the passives that GGG just robbed from me.

There's got to be a way to get GGG to read this forum and pull their heads out into the light on this issue. I really hope their reading this thread and getting an idea of how retarded they look right now.

Hi guys,

I have a simple suggestion here regarding the passive point issue.

Is it possible that GGG gives another full skill point reset, maybe next week?

And in the mean time, we can all do our passive skill quest so that we obtain all the skill points.

And when the reset happens again, we can rebuild the character again.

Cos honestly, i didn't expect the skill tree to be just emptied.

Cheers

It might be poorly implemented, but seriously it takes all of like 45 minutes to an hour. I did 4 characters on the first night of launch and am back in action. If anything it lets you get a taste of what the new zones are like, in case you never plan on leveling through them again.

Right but getting those skill points back is a pain when you can't wear the high level gear you have without them. PLUS, not having those skill points, is only half of the bigger issue. And thats that we don't want to just jump around between completed and half-completed quests on a brand new story line that we know nothing about, just to grab those points. The fact that all of these brand new quests and locations are by default Auto-completed and Auto-found, sucks a hard nut...

We don't want to just flounder around, lost, confused and half geared, trying to get all of these skill points back, just to further confuse ourselves with the story of a brand new expansion we've all be so excited to play ORDERLY.

Can you confirm it's just a logistics thing and you don't actually lose any of the skill points?

I just logged on holy shit it's a mess.

You get them all back if you do the sidequests. It's still a piece of shit implementation though. Should have been reset back to act 4, or auto-completed everything, this mismash they did was just horrible.

Not liking the implementation because you can't play through it since they autocompleted the main quests for you is being self entitled? Okay, I admit it. Asking for the skill points that they took away from me that I earned previously is being self entitled? Okay, I admit it. Expecting GGG to have some consideration for people in standard of all things? Okay, I admit it. I mean GGG hasn't shown they've cared about Standard for a VERY long time. If they did, they might have incorporated league modifiers into standard too, since it's obvious that testing new mechanics in the leagues is almost an afterthought these days (standard gets all the loot and trouble that the new mechanics generate with none of the content).

Shove off.

this needs to be looked at by the devs, there is no way i'm completing all those quests to get points i've already earned.

GGG, please fix this.

As your Standard casual player I'm very disappointed with new quest implementation of this update.

Give players two options to choose for each character:

1. Either get ALL quests done and all SP rewards earned. Challenge league players who use Standard to test things will happy with that option.
2. Either get NONE of quests done. Casual players will choose this option and will play happily, enjoying new content and quests for Acts 5-10.

Now it's literally unplayable. I was hoping to come back into PoE to see new quests and story, but they are completely spoiled. I have no incentive or spare time to start new character or play challenge league. I just want to play my old character and do new content.

Some say, new storyline content has zero difficulty for high level character. But, first of all, I'm not playing this game for challenge, but for story; and second, when you run hundreds of Shaped Strands - they has zero difficulty as well, so whatever.

GGG, do something.
