This is the biggest slap to the face yet.

For 99,99% of players, those new uber-items are like they were not in the game.
They will never ever even come close to them.

So why whine about their stats?
The gloves could give +500% crit chance and triple your lifeleech, who cares?
Can't use them anyways.

They don't affect the metagame at all.

So much time wasted on whining.

the problem is that the game is played by let say 50000 players and those items are made for 50-100 players out of that 50k,what is the point of playing if the dev clearly show you that they dont care about 99.997% of their player base

its the same thing with the other new uniques, the pleb ones are really crappy design while the endgame ones are really OP and meant for the o.1%. if you are endgame and rng didnt bless you or you dont spend much time flipping or rmting you have no chance of being able to progress.

The game is not ruined for normal players.
I have to live with the changes in mechanics, yes, but everybody has to, so they haven't ruined the game for me.
And those items do not exist for me, so I don't care about them.
And neither should you.

And I also don't think there will be enough of these items to buy them for real money on a regular basis, considering how much effort you will have to put into getting them.

Okay, seriously GGG, please reply to this topic.
I'm getting f***ing tired of you balancing the game around the end game uniques that most players can't have.

Really? Thats why the forums are full of QQ threads about shit loot and forced trading?

Minority of a minority. 3% of the player base uses the forums and a small part of that 3% makes QQ threads. Now I'm not saying that I and like-minded people are the majority, but you shouldn't assume your side is either just because of some very vocal people on the forum.

IF you like it the way it is fine, I respect your opinion, but I seem to see you in EVEY thread related to these issues and many more basically defending this game and every decision the developers make.

To the point where it looks like you are defending just to defend.

The bold part is wrong, I certainly don't agree with everything they do and sometimes I openly critisize them. Risk vs reward for example is unbalanced in PoE and I made that clear a couple of times. I just rarely rage and accuse GGG of not caring or running RMT sites (lol) so what I post is not very polarising.

I could have easily joined the gang, but you people only beat down everyone that said any "REAL" feedback of the game.

That's bullshit. If someone gives good negative feedback, I say 'good feedback' even if I don't agree with it. 'Us people' only beat the constant QQers down who suck at giving feedback. Most of them aren't even interested in giving feedback, they just want to vent and try to find like-minded whiners who are willing to jump the bandwagon.

I'm curious as to if you have an example. I've seen threads you've stayed out of, but I don't know if I've ever seen a "good feedback" from you. I could go through your posts I guess, since I'm now genuinely curious, but it's easier to just ask.

That thread is awesome, but I don't agree with the OP.

Mechanics have been nerfed to make way for these items which are an RMT users wet dream.

Any proof for this causal relationship?
Or just more whining?

Game has changed. Game is harder now.
We lost lifeleech, manaleech, have to build trees with less damage and life because we have to factor in those changes, but that applies to us all.

Balance has shifted, machanics have changed, live with it.

Instant leech on critical strike without having to have vaal pact is amazingly godly for a crit user, yeah? I mean that is seriously BiS.

the irony in this is that crit user already have a huge avantage with flask that charge on crit (its fucking OP)

There's no proof of course. It also wouldn't make much sense, why would GGG balace around items that literally 99,9999% of the players will never see? People should maybe realize that, before the patch, leech was trivial and OP. Put on a 2% leech ring and facetank everything as long as it doesn't oneshot you. Is leech balanced now? Dunno, it might be underpowered. But what I know is that the mechanic needed some changes. And that has nothing to do with those BiS uniques.

Thanks.

I beleive the uniques are FANTASTIC,both the properties and the art.The gloves look amazing.However,in this game THERE is acount bind.It happens with quest items/rewards.I really beleive that both map fragments AND these uniques should be considered quest rewards and be non tradeable.
Also for those that said that these gloves are the same as vall pact pre nerf.
1)Take a CI crit build.First issue-spending 15+ useless points to get to vaal pact.Second issue,well mana management.With these gloves,both issues resolved,plus 600+ armour + 6-8% increased ES,not bad at all.
2)Life based builds,especially bow ones,with kaoms.I can't even beging to say how these gloves can afect them.Never use voltaxic again,lots of armour,good life,the required intellligence for blue gems,and yeah,propably no blood magic gem.lol

Also it is not only the gloves.Can u imagine a better helmet for an aegis build?Especially a life based one.And the Axe,well with 5 support gems with +2level,+2 to weapon range and bleeding on hit,it would be at least on par for resolute technic builds with the mirror worthy ones.
