These changes should be common sense to anyone who has been playing this game for a significant amount of time. Not surprised at all.

If the op's changes are indeed correct they would be a poor attempt at balancing the items.

CoE proposed change = would do nothing to the top tier players, while heavily penalizing the low to medium wealth tier players.

Windripper proposed change = this one is the only one that seems fairly reasonable given the inherent power of the item without even mentioning the magic find potential.

Mjollnir proposed change = unfounded, this item is a perfect example of heavy build customization in order to utilize, therefore disabling a multitude of options in doing so.

A lower proq chance could be justified to lessen computer strain in party's, however this would be a "stupid reason" to make this change as opposed to it having to much potential.( as opposed to just optimizing the game itself)

Another thing comes to mind, if these are indeed the changes that will be implemented, then how did the OP gather this information to begin with?

So i am sure the OP will be under investigation if this information is indeed correct.

Peace,

-Boem-

(either way, i won't care since i play with what i am given, nerfs/buffs have never really effected me, they offer a challenge beyond the normal scope the game offers)

Lmao yeah Chris just called my office to ask how I know these things. For someone who doesn't believe me you make up a quarter of the posts on this thread. I'll post more spoilers Monday keep watching the post...
Edit: on a personal note Boem nothing against you you seem nice but you just seemed a little too upset I leaked these things that's all.

My concerns are for GGG and if this info is indeed correct (which is nowhere confirmed so i am not accusing you) that somebody breached NDA.

Legit concern, no?

Also don't mistake anger/upset with an objective out-look on game balance.

My reasoning for posting here is just that, the proposed changes here do nothing at all for long-term balance and in fact penalize everybody but the high-end tier wealth players.

It's the same as the aura debacle with an item like CoE, how do you change it without nerfing "regular joe" using it on a novelty concept that is no where near OP, just fun. While still allowing high wealth players abusing roughly 32% more free multipliers. (on top of other multipliers obviously/ double dipping)

Also i am a nice guy, thanks for noticing and this has nothing to do with you leaking this info, my concerns are

1) if they happen to be correct they will not deliver "balance" just place those items in exclusivity for the really high tier players.(this could be GGG's aim, no clue)

2) if this info is correct, how did it get breached. (semi-aimed at you, since you are not revealing sauzes, merely making finger gestures while holding back with the pointing)

And either way, i will work around it, like every change and every new league so no harm done. As will everybody else.

Peace,

-Boem-

On a side note a little bird told me shavs is getting a reduction in ES again.

And a 6-link thousand ribbons is the new meta with ele-prolif being nerfed.

shavs could have zero ES and still be OP.

No, it would be called Solaris Lorica :)

This has been true the other times GGG has made legacy items as well. Wish more people complained back then.

I say this because he said my account will be under investigation.

and you have a lot of imagination. Even if it become true for CoE, price will continue to drop as this change doesnt imply legacy.

FAK DOLAN, FAK

The next and only one nerfed item will be Atziri's Acuity.

Good job Atlas.
