If your new build is still viable, please make sure to make a youtube video or report in here, so we can get more of them nerfs.

Who gives a shit? We're not in a race here. You can play it whenever they release the patch and you download it.

The problem isn’t just the nerfs—it’s how they’re done. Instead of adjusting builds, they just delete them with no real alternatives. Gameplay balance hasn’t improved either: armor is still weak, defensive options got nerfed without replacements, and the slower pace just makes everything feel tedious.

Acts are repetitive—only three are finished, so you have to replay the same ones again. Mapping is slow, loot is underwhelming, and overall progression feels worse than in PoE1.

Meanwhile, actual new content is minimal: one class, a few ascendancies, and spears. No new core mechanics, no proper build variety, no real improvements. PoE2 isn’t expanding on what made PoE1 great—it’s stripping it down, and at this rate, it’s hard to see when it will feel complete.

I would love to engage with your Early Access game. Please share the link so we can try it :)

They legit just killed any interest and excitement their game once had. Nerfing everything in to the ground is a sign of devs not being capable of actually balancing a game. This is nothing new. Making the same mistakes as other dead companies. Rip path of exile 2. You were fun until they decided to kill you entirely.

I mean, if you are going to be this hurt before you even try the Early Access patch, then why don't you share with us all the games you have developed. I am sure the community here would love to try them. :)

Still a 30+ hour tedious and boring campaign?! HARD PASS, mate!

Restart Steam, the Update is available. 30GB

Letsss gooo

Support gems overall had their effectiveness reduced. Some skills and weapons gained, but overall, there will be more grind and more killing for less reward. Grim feast removal from game is understandable, if the aim is to make shield tanking work as well as most armor tanking builds (badly). Far better approach would have been removing "is minion" status from the remnants, so they don't get huge buffs to life and level from +minion gear. My summoners have/had gem lvl 35 grim feast skills where a single remnant gave back 1961 shield. No one at GGG thought to combine the removal of minion status from remnants with armor adding elemental protection? It would have made shield and armor tanking work well enough to be equally viable. Making everything suck does not improve anything. Nor does the attempt to balance a game based on what a handful of elite, well-geared players can do.
