Y'all still whining? Second buff to loots in 2 days, let's see how it plays once it's deployed before you grab your pitchforks again, eh?

If loot was nerfed 90%, then buffing the remaining 10% by 33% is a net nerf of 87%.
People have every right to feel insulted. They nerfed loot for absolutely no good reason, now they're using anchoring to appear to be the good guys.

lol " buff to loot"

Then how come I made 2000 chaos turnover by just progressing through the game?
I don't get it, am I the only one who doesn't compare him self to a 6 ppl group of power gamers who are able to juice on day 3?

When are you going to get through your skulls that this those adjustment were really really needed.

As developer, I agree with the approach.
Some things are just best tested in production.
29% global loot buff sounds nice for the entire game, except for heavy juicing of content layers which should be in a more nice spot now.

And to everyone who complain a lot for no apparent reason - if you do not know what you are doing, either don't play at league start or please don't be a Richard about it!

Then tell people they are testing something, don't leave historic changes out of patch notes because it will kill the hype around a new league. Pulling a bait and switch is so much worse. Not to mention the whole "Get your MF characters ready" comment when MF is completely dead this patch, you're better off running either blue maps or chest-based leagues like heist, delve, and expedition which weren't nerfed.

29% buff on the <10% that is left after the massive nerfs? What a joke.

No word on actually fixing the problems with Archnemesis, just gutting all the mechanics we like of rewards and shoving them some of them back into the one we don't.

If you think people are complaining for no reason, you haven't been reading their feedback. It's been loud and clear.

Doesn't mean anything, one lucky drop could net you >3,500 chaos.

This is so much more than highly optimized party based juicing strategies, they gutted monster loot throughout the game but left chest loot untouched. It wasn't a well thought out change and it wasn't communicated.

The stated goals of the patch got people hyped up, people want those changes, but they aren't remotely close to what we got.

Wow

I think I've completely lost faith in GGG after this post honestly.

I love that Reddit is calling you guys out for anchoring this garbage system down our throats.

Archnemesis needs to be removed or moved to being a map modifier.

Old loot system is necessary to maintain consistency in item drops. Previously you could do 100 white T16 maps and get on average the same amount of currency. Now if the rares you encounter don't have the specific mods you need you'll get shafted and have awful rare items that nobody picks up or IDs.

Also saying "massively" doesn't mean anything anymore.

We took your "Content reworked" statement in good faith. We took "get your magic find characters ready" statement in good faith and they both have been MASSIVE NERFS.

You have lost my trust.

YES DUDE! Hopefully we'll get more fair drops based on the difficulty of a monster. Fighting a 3 mod rare monster to get 4 blacksmiths and 1 rare item wasn't too fun. High risk, low reward.

Let's keep the improvements coming, team. Thanks!

Also, please make the patch notes as detailed as possible, take your time. The community really didn't like what happened with the last notes before launch. Having unlisted changes was pretty bad.

But then they couldn't sell supporter packs when they decide to screw then entire game up.

Our 1000 hour testing team, just to test how to make players miserable

just 25% ? not even 100%

nice, now nerf archnemesis mobs and will be fine

"no apparent reason" lol...
They only took a sledge hammer to loot thats all, no big deal. They were also extremely dishonest about these changes, only do we learn the specifics AFTER folks buy supporter packs, MTX's and mystery boxes.

Boo hoo ... i made 2000c turnover in 3 days with zero effort just by progressing.
Better to ask for forgiveness, rather than permission.

Be grateful that they are actually listening to what players want, Richard!

No, they were not "needed" this game, games like this are about LOOT! The loot was laughable before these changes let alone now.
You didn't make 2000c "just progressing through the game" either. "zero effort" no idea why I even replied to you.
Despite what Chris Wilson would ahve you believe, a few bad rares and a wisdom scroll is not loot. And how are you going to craft rares with no currency dropping?
Oh, but you made 2000c zero effort. You must be playing a totally different game than EVERYONE else.
"Better to ask for forgiveness, rather than permission."...next time try to use cool figures of speech with context. It kind of helps. Your use of that phrase makes zero sense here.

100%-90%=10%*33%=13%

a m a z i n g buff

thank you so much for your generosity
