What is the point of +% Light Radius and Reduced Attribute Requirements!?

The fact that they didn't make niche solutions as unique items and instead polluted the whole enchantment pool with them tells that they either

1. hired Jay Willson

2. stopped thinking through what they are doing well enough

3. want to intentionally ruin their game and lessen their player base

Conclusion? They are most likely just fed up with our money already and want us to leave now.

Sickeningly accurate post.

No idea what GGG is thinking, other than to treat their own players with contempt.

It's fine to add more affixes to the game, but do it with care and thought.

These affixes were added in a thoughtless fashion.

The last thing I want to see from a company like GGG is for them to start doing things thoughtlessly and randomly, because that's a sure sign that the game will be fucked long term.

(if it isn't already......)

So light radius isnt helping low life builds very much because it is a percent gain on a very low base is my understanding? Does it need to be a flat bonus to light radius?

How awsome would it if you could stack your light raidus so high it had a chance to blind mobs when they got too close to you?! I would love it hahaha, I would for sure create a 'holy' character with dominating blow, consecrated ground effects, and stupid rediculously high light raidus that blinded the infidels.

decreased attributes is best on weapons from what I can tell, can help the bow templar, can help with wands for marauder, duelist and ranger.

"Quality of life changes for CI"? Color me intrigued...

No more Chayula? :P

My character is a templar elemental bower,
and I need the reduced attribute requirements.

U don't really need it , just need to learn to build your character with the right passives and gear .

How many mods can roll one affix/preffix? Like 40 (including low levels)?

Two more or two less is not going to save you

These mods need to have their own dedicated line. They just make it that much more difficult to find good items and are always going to be seen as an item breaker rather than improvement.

Reduced Attribute Requirements are nice if you go "pure" purposefully pushing equipment you would not normally be able to equip hinging it on one piece. Then again I don't know how that works in this game specifically; it has worked wonders for me in others.

No point.

If they wanted to bring some D2 affixes, I would like to see something like "cannot be frozen" or "rest in peace". At least useful

Totally agree.

Reduced Attribute Requirement and % Light Radios is a total waste of mods slots and only works to get more unwanted mods and useless items.

About the lower light radius on low life builds... this is just the most stupid thing that could exist in any game. You accept the danger of walking with low life and you even can't see what is in front of you? WTF.

The worst of all is the GGG's solutions for the problems that should be simply fixed: They put 2 stupid mods that cause more harm than solve something (That now affects everyone, not only those who uses low life). Just like the genius solution for the low damage and low elemental resists of totems: They create one stupid suicide mantle that stacks level 20 curses on you even if your totem duration ends and created one gem that stole one important slot from you and let your totem even weaker in dealing damage.

GGG, your game is wonderful and we love it, but stop with these stupid solutions and just fix what need to be fixed. We don't want to see this game dying even before the end of Open Beta just like is happening now. Everyone is leaving the boat because people don't have anyone to sell your items, small number of currencies on market (I'm lvl 76 and only dropped 1 exalted in my entire life with 356 iir and 113% iiq), we don't socialize or partying because everyone like to stole drops, there are so many useless skills (too weak and/or impractical) that don't even sell if 20% quality, tons of bad uniques that can't be useful or sold for nothing (Why don't you create something that upgrade the quality of items, just like in Diablo 2, Normal quality items to Exceptional, Exceptional to Elite, or any way to trasmute a unique Driftwood Sceptre into a unique Void Sceptre keeping the same uniques attributes for example), totally ineffective forum search for everything (God bless the external indexers, without them is just impossible to find any good item that you need on forum) and a lot more little things that makes this game annoying.

I hope that GGG read this comment or at least start to listen more the players (And if you listened the players for that 2 new attributes, you at least listened the minor part, because EVERYONE HATES THIS ATTRIBUTES).

Sorry for my english.

I honestly think it is to dilute the mod pool, widening the gaps between bad-good-perfect rolls.
