terrible update :(

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to the league and trying out a variety of different builds, I already had 7 in endgame last league and with the new nodes, as well as the new ascendancy, I could imagine the variety this update is going to be even better.

Looks promising to me and I'm glad that you have somewhat maintained the speed of the current game, as the pacing seems to be in a good place also. Some people keep talking about how it's too slow, but I feel as though 8-12 hours for the campaign is fine and a good amount of time to spend getting to endgame.

All in all just looks like a great update and content/balance patch.

Ready to LOGIN!!! LETSGO!!!!

"Pandemonious" should be "Pandemonius" I think?

Added a stash tab affinity for Abyss items.

Neat!

Merit of Service please!

While I'm excited to play the new PoE2 league, I'm really disappointed in the fact that crafting is being nerfed. Why are we nerfing a way for the player to get his own gear by actually playing the game? Isn't that the core of the game? Trade and trade 'friction' should be secondary to that.

Because it was too strong. Isn't that the reason for every nerf?

Just because you play the game to do it and are crafting it yourself (nothing is also stopping you from buying gear other people crafted) doesn't mean its balance should be ignored.

Intelligent players or anyone who put in a little effort knew how to abuse it and knew it was far too strong.

As a Contagion user, I'm wondering how the nerf to monster density in maps will affect the spread of chaos DOTs. I hope this will not nerf the spreading. Will it??

Its less monsters so...yes...by virtue of how ED C works its a nerf to EDC. Also keep in mind monsters will have 40% more life at end game, which means even those white mobs might take 2-3 secs to die to EDC before it can spread.
