so many idiots - clarification 1) alphas howl was bis for RoA rangers (and prolly LA) before the aura hack, it will now go back to being this as Inner Force is getting a buff, and you cant wear a life helm and have level 22 auras 2) coventant isnt getn nerfed, if it is, fuck it itll make the game harder (for HC) and dictate less dependance on and less commonplace 6+ aura characters (end game OR leveling) so wake up complainers, these are the facts *** life is still broken (weak) as ass tho sadly :( ** @slangDontStop	Posted by slanghardcircles#5366 on Aug 13, 2013, 5:06:59 AM Quote this Post

And ppl who talking about "I use the helm on my ranger, this is super BEST HELM for me" - you are guys just have no idea about this game. Btw, if you do the same thing with Covenant - this is destroy some builds. You knew it would happen sooner or later. Stop QQing. They can't keep brokem stuff in the game just because some people need them. ----------- It will be a glorious day when the promised facebreaker nerf comes. Aura fix was a glitch that I am glad they fixed. Auras shouldn't retain bonuses from items after the item has been de-equipped, that IS broken. Its the same thing as putting an 800es chest on, and removing it and still having 800es multiplied by %'s and then using an armor chest with life and stats and resists and whatever else you need. Facebreaker, on the other hand, I dont know why it needs a 'fix'?? Jealousy I suppose? Its not broken, its on par with crit flicker and cleave and crit cyclone and dual strike, actually substantially less dps than them. A Facebreaker unarmed build CANNOT crit. Also it does substantially less dps than anything else in the game that is considered powerful at endgame, like incinerate full stage, discharge, FP, spork, spear, EK, etc Why are people so mad other people are doing well? I just dont get it ... stop overdosing on the hate. 'it will be a glorious day' lol like your life depends on nerfing a build, so sad " Kusqt wrote: It was never confirmed, nor denied, that using an alpha howl the way we were was a broken mechanic, if there was a dev post before this patch hinting it was unintended, please link it to me. A nerf this sudden giving players who used this mechanic nil time to prepare is a BAD thing. It doesnt matter, you knew it was not the normal way of how items work, you know its a glitch, so dont play the fool You don't seem to get the context. They "GGG" wrote in reddit some while ago in connection with the fan meetup that Facebreaker will be nerfed but to change all Facebreakers would take many hours of server downtime. Once they have reduced that time considerebly, expect Facebreaker to be nerfed. I don't really care about Facebreaker itself, but about the fact that when it gets nerfed it means that changing all uniques (even the old ones) will be an easy task that doesn't take many hours of downtime. So that's when we can expect all other uniques to be rebalanced, which is what the game really needs. This message was delivered by GGG defence force.

so sad, ppl in this forum knows better than the devs what is game mechanics and what is exploit... Last edited by Shimawa#2600 on Aug 13, 2013, 5:10:46 AM	Posted by Shimawa#2600 on Aug 13, 2013, 5:08:51 AM Quote this Post
" Kusqt wrote: You might be saying oh great you can't aura stack big scrub! But the only thing that keeps a life based player ALIVE at the very top level of play is the aura stacking. I recommend reverting the IR changes and life changes to give life builds a fighting chance vs CI, honestly, and without me whining like a bitch, this change KILLS, KILLS, KILLS, KILLS. KILLS life builds at the VERY HIGHEST LEVEL OF PLAY. Life sucks because life sucks, not because some exploit gets fixed. But I agree, the multiplier on Blood Magic is ridiculous.

Before getting mad about the fix (and all upcoming fixes) you should remind yourself that this is a BETA. An important part of a Beta is its inconsistent nature. There may be small changes but also game breaking changes. More important is the fact that the devs decide what needs to be changed, not you! They decide what's intended and what's not, what's an exploit and what's a game mechanic. I guess they try to strike a balance between what the players want and what they want to be the game like. You can try to change their mind but in the end it's their decision. So live with it, cry more or quit.	Posted by smells_funny#6486 on Aug 13, 2013, 5:11:08 AM Quote this Post

" silversideup wrote: lol wtf and its "has" not have if ur gonna try tht fuck wit noob.....also abusing game mechanics is one thing.....Letting ggg know by a pm and saying hey look this is wrong is fine but making a vid going hai guyzz heres some exploits plz use them is not...hence why hes banned from all other games tht can make money without him playing or the player base he would bring hahaha this logic is priceless so if you see someone with a matchstick in front of a burning house you lock away the matchstick guy and keep the house burning hahahahah made my day every company who bans an exploiter just shows that their game has flaws and they are unable to fix it which is a really weak move no u fix the exploit then ban the guy who clearly encouraged it...elsewise Change ur policy on exploits.....cbfd replying to 12 year olds anymore sorry guys cya oh ok so as long as you keep an exploit private its ok. its nice to have hundreds of exploits in the game as long as 10 people and not 10k know about it. this way we dont have to fix shit ! brilliant.

The way I'm reading it, this change won't affect the mana res of the alpha howl, just the +2, but they are rebuffing inner force so essentially your gaining it right back. the "nerf" is minimal for now. IGN: The_black_market	Posted by Hevi#3791 on Aug 13, 2013, 5:12:52 AM Quote this Post
First of all I want to say that I really love this patch! Removing the howl bug, buffing IF and make flasks no buffs anymore all in one patch is what I call balancing. As much as I hated some of the latest "balancing" (aka melee buffs) this time it feels like real balancing incl. a bugfix that is directly connected to it. Can't wait to see more of this! Ppl really should stop the qq about the howl fix. Everybody with at least half a brain knew that this fix would come. I never used a howl for that reason so this fix doesn't hurt me at all. Using a bug in a beta is maybe ok but crying because that bug get fixed is just dumb.
