forbes wrote a whole article about how dumb this nerf was before we get a comment from GGG

From very good communication by GGG to hitting with a sledgehammer and total silence.
It killed my pleasure to game at least.

why don't you put some thought into the whole nerf thing and why they would do that.

It's EARLY ACCESS, a glorified beta test, if you are blowing up bosses you are not really testing them so they won't find the issues players could have with them.

It's also nothing out of the ordinary, they've been nerfing shit for 12 years.

Go easy on 'em lagwin. This is the first time for some of the folks here.

Lol CoF builds were NOT blowing up bosses. Hell I basically forgot about CoF when I hit a boss and just did my other combos.

Anyone trolling like this never played one and has no idea what they're talking about.

This is good, though, bad press will get GGG's ass in gear.

As far as I remember, their last statement was, "We sold a million copies." Since then, they haven't shown up. Coincidence?

No, their last statement was: "Stash tab sale!"


Lol. Lmao, even. The gall.

I think a lot of people are upset because they want to pay a game, not test it. If ggg wants testers, hire them.

Honestly ggg implied and sometimes stated that poe2 was basically ready to go soon.

But so many of bugs reek of a dev never testing an asset ingame, at least not in the release patch.

No way... this is hilarious.

You can never satisfy everyone, but free/cheap respec for EA would give them the testing they apparently never bothered with. They could have literally gave the game to Jungroan for a week with no respec costs and found all the builds they hate prior to launch. It definitely seems like nothing was tested beyond a few hours of gameplay, or not tested by anyone competent. A bunch of ascendencies are downgrades too, so did the testers even get that far? I’m not exactly a genius build creator, but even I looked at the available skills and decided that CoC and CoF looked like a good thing to build towards. That wasn’t even broken compared to some stuff that others have come up with.
