Why do you keep nerfing fun every league?

That's some glass half-empty talk. They have ideas and they are implementing them. I can't quantify what "worse" means here. I didn't like Synthesis league, for instance, and that's fine. The game isn't supposed to be Exactly how I (or any other individual) want(s) every new league.

Just because I don't whine and complain like an entitled brat every time something goes wrong, doesn't mean I necessarily agree with the design choice. Bugs are to be expected.

They keep upping the bar for stupid fucking ideas, and intolerable gameplay.

I mostly like this league. There. Deal with it.

I really need to know who teaches you to give such silly arguments and then sincerely believe you've made a point. Who??? I need to know!!

Every recent league I've enjoyed enough to play 40/40 has been followed up by a complete disaster. Almost without fail. It's uncanny.

The frustrating part is I completely agree with why certain changes need to be made. It's just the way they are implemented is always so awful, so disconnected from the realities of how the game is played, and seemingly blind to obvious interactions with other changes they are making simultaneously. (GGGs patented triple dip nerfs)

It really makes me wonder if some of these changes are developed independently within GGG, on different versions of the game. And then slapped together last minute for live. It would explain a lot of what we've been seeing lately.

That is my most generous interpretation of it anyways. It's really beginning to feel like they just don't want me to play.

If they are doing this intentionally, banking on the good will of a great patch to get dirty work done, I'm fully done. I don't need to a game emotionally manipulating me, teasing me with what I want only to feed me "their vision" of what a good game should be. That's messed up.

Balancsd chances are carfully implented by profesonal hardcore team. The problmem is, cazualized platyers should lover theirs expeditions.

I'm love profesonal chances made and can actully earn -45-5 ex hour with using tft-powered eficient market trade. Acording to trade menifisto you litrlly can make great deal if you are wiling put in efort.

Cazualizated playrs are playing PoE wrong and theirs unfair critiqueuing best plkayer and best developer. Thank you Chris-vision for free best game.

he poorly articulated himself, but i can see the reasoning behind it. it´s fine to like the league, what i really dislike is the removal of certain builds for certain content. here is why:

we are early in the league, ppl dont have stuff yet. now imagine some avrg. player got the idea to farm essences, playing whatever build, lets say lacerate, just to name one.
so u take essence on the tree, get to ur first essence with 2 or 3 mods and get yourself manhandled by that thing. now tell me, how is that enjoyable for anyone should solve those problems without sufficiant expirience?
"just dont run essence" doesnt work since blight, metamorph, harvest all got these insanely difficult mods.

im excluding myself here as someone with 4k+ hours in the game but i can totally see how avrg. player just hate the state of the game.

(not an native english speaker, keep any mistakes in gramma)

I agree. This league is the worse. I thought expedition was bad with the nerfs. Wont certainly invest much time in this. This league is dead in less than a month imo.

Can almost guarantee the folks complaining in this thread are the same ones that are running corrupted maps with 4 damage mods and crying that the game is too hard

So? If the biggest strategy of gaining currency is to juice your map, do you really expect people to run their maps blue or something? Say goodbye to getting any map sustain and very much of any currency by doing that.

I'm farming essences/harvest/harby in high yellow maps, rolling them blue and sustaining maps and getting currency just fine. I don't know what you're talking about..

If Mr. Softcore can't succesfully run juiced high reds as a lvl 90, that's not much of a counterpoint.

Little to no defenses and small lifepool very likely as well. :/

Well, there is some rationality behind this style - since the map bosses have a set chance to drop a guardian or synth map and since there are things like guaranteed harbinger and essences, putting a bajillion points in map sustain and running maps blue is a damn good idea. Also stream of consciousness. And delve/temple to supplement map sustain.

But then again, GGG, how about giving people the option to play the style they enjoy? Please review the Archnem mods in relation to each league mechanic and ajust them separately if you insist on being an*l about it.

With the crazy archnemesis mods, lots of good times on HC streams.

I think they have calculated that most MTX comes either from whales who pay every league no matter what, or from new players who got turned on to PoE from a stream and will happily buy MTX to get to Act 7 then quit.

Thats not a slam or insult to GGG, its a business model evaluation.

They're doing it for the money. Period.

Thus, getting paid to play is the only reason TO play.
