State of the Beta - Post #6

i guess open beta was the golden age of PoE

There's a lot of crying in this thread, and mainly from people who play standard leagues. Its not surprising that they would be the most vocal about this change because they don't really look forward to new things.

This addition, especially the elemental damage to spells, is a great one; not only that, the fact that staves will receive higher amounts of elemental spell damage than other weapons if music to my ears. The addition of new mods will make it harder to craft the stuff that you want, so I can understand why people are QQ from that perspective.

Regardless, a promise is a comfort to a fool... be cool.

Best patch ever, all those GG items now devalued. Life doesn't get better than this. GGG is fixing the monopoly lovers of this game. I will support GGG everyday as long as they break the top %ers with force. Love everything they do. It's a new day for Standard and item creation.

Yesterday, I was reading the [Standard Buying] trade forum.
People are trying to buy mirrors. One of the guys is offering 550 exalted a piece! And he wants all the mirrors he can get.

So, no! This change will not hit the top 5%. It will make them even richer.

With the new T1 mods, things will get worse unless GGG fixes the mirror problem.

Please, make some sense. It's obvious that GGG had the increase some values. We got a new act, new endgame material, and people should try that with the same gear? I think that we have a level 82 map now...


Are people really suggesting that GGG should have kept the same values and f*ck with it? How does this makes sense?

People have been asking for Act 4 for months, and now, apparently people wanna be put to sleep by Kaom. Really. Try it. You will. I'm not saying that GGG should make OP things, but it's only reasonable to balance the game.

If you guys were advising GGG to make low rolls forbidden for 50+ players, I would agree... It's ridiculous having a 2h Mace with a 1-2 attack damage boost... but apparently, people would complain anyway... that would make crafting a lil' bit easier. I can imagine: Aw... now everyone can get decent rolls, especially with Masters boo hoo.

Good job GGG ;)

New mods mean new builds - I'm game.

THIS! It is like rl, you can not hit the rich people without hurting the poor even more.

Looking forward to it!

So all existing gear becomes obsolete QQ. Please remove mirrors and increase eternal drop rate too.

If they did this, maybe I won't RAGE!!!

New mod better than Glyphic huh?



Wow I can't believe this GGG. You're making a huge mistake, without doubt. I spent over 100exa crafting a 3 mod dagger tier 1. I'm not a "rich asshhole". Instead, I'm somebody who took a chance and successfully crafted THREE mods. It broke the bank.

Lesson learned: Our progress in PoE is temporary, and the grind is not meaningful because the game has no stability (although it could if GGG would adhere to some core concepts which they've been preaching the whole time).

The rich crafters doing mirror service can bounce back. For me, there is no other option than accepting the fact that my perfect craft is no longer a perfect craft, which really hurts my soul. I will never have that "lets go for it" feeling again in regards to crafting. It's a wash.

Trading has slowed considerably since this post. Sales over 5c have ground to a halt and mirrors have shot up galore. My dream of getting a better amulet has been snatched away.

The higher mods are an annoyance, but that hasn't caused me a ton of pain. It's the problem of everybody being on hold on standard for a month that is an issue for me. People are now rightfully tight-fisted because better mods will be coming.

The way the higher mods were announced was not cool.

This game started this way. Inflation always happens and then it cools down. It's the best day ever because new items will rise and old items will have their own economy. Time to go back to basics and grind back, buy and sell back, or whatever you got to do. The people crying are those that want their items to stay the top and watch the same items ruin this game over and over. I for one see this game dying with the same mirrored items floating around with nothing new to shoot for. Sorry, but the logic of this like real life is not valid in my mind. The more simple thought is to say life is to short to have the same economy not get rocked and develop a new era of weapons. Like said earlier, it's a risk now as well to those that want to craft with the threat/paranoia that GGG can change values of items at anytime.

This is the best thing ever.
