Because they broke the game for casters, as well as made RF fairly to easy to use for a tanky maurauder, but not for anyone using ES. Because Cleave builds are now broken. Because mirror worthy shields got nerfed 17%. Because people can now only run 1 defensive aura when they were stacking 6. Take your pick. Patch might have been good for your characters, and that probably feels awesome, but look around the forum. Most people are feeling very differently.

Seriously? Youre that pissed? Cant tell if youre being serious

I haven't made any final judgments yet but I'm not very pleased with the patch and don't know yet if I will continue playing. I don't have a gripe with all of the issues mentioned, I was just giving the OP a list of reasons people would downvote.

Mainly I am disheartened that I dropped a ton of $$$ on this game 4 hours prior to the patch only to have the patch turn it into a completely different game, and one I would not nearly have supported as much. Feels like an (unintentional) bait and switch.

As much as I can sympathize with your monetary loss; why would you support a game that way 4 hours prior to a release, with the known changes on the way?

I bought a closed beta 1 day before open beta just to try the game out and because the NO Pay to Win attitude, I supported. Well played for a while and liked the game a lot and wanted to be a Gold Supporter, but by then, I couldn't have my account upgraded.

I was thinking about going Regal before release, but patiently waited for patch notes as you should have.

As soon as I saw Legacy Kaom shit, I knew GGG lost it and don't deserve a single penny. Maybe when they launch Path of Exile 2, they will make a game as fun as it was when Open Beta was released. Everything is nerf after nerf and unbalance after unbalance. Especially now with Legacy shit.

You may be able to get a refund if you ask. Their CS seems to be fairly good that way.

:( awe man I wish youd give it more of a chance

@Schn1tt3r: The previous was Beta, where anything can happen. Also life was buffed in case you didn't troll enough already.

Yeah I know, I dont care for buffs or nerfs as long as they are EQUALLY done to everyone.

Legacy Kaoms... is NOT equal treatment. And I won't play a game with this unbalanced junk, no matter if it is free game or paid.

3/10 in OB and now.

The only ARPG like part is normal(without racing the game would have even less players)
Besides Dominus who is a shining example of PoE's MMOfication.

Slow clunky combat, slow progression, too big areas in A3(release will have smaller areas "I checked some smaller by 10%?!), good ideas but poorly executed.

At Cruel the horrible Manamechanics start to kick in, you only get an illusion of infinite choices because the path is obvious, you don't feel rewarded with drops.
Then the exp progression becomes too slow and you easily get underleveled.

And once you reach merciless you must start grinding. Wanna do maps? Better grinded your brain out because it's all about gearchecks. Not having 75% reduce in dunes or 8k+ EHP? You die.
Not having 90% Fire res in crematorium.

And don't forget the new additional RAID boss Dominius. Chris made a typo he doesn't want to see Dominion runs. He wants to see raids, where you button mash towards him for 20 minutes just to get a disappointing drop and of coursen not the best uniques.

The critics never played the entire game else the ratings would be far lower.

Just wait 4 weeks and it's back to the usual size.
Returners will see nothing changed(Fool them twice shame on....)
New players will be frustrated because of cruel.

Sorry to hear that some have trouble enjoying this amazing arpg.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

1/10 for patch.

I guess that's why you've been playing the game for over a year now. I'll give you credit, you've been consistent. You've consistently complained about the game, and you've consistently played it. :-)
