What is this.....

LOGIN DUDE!!!!

RIP United In Dream's minion damage bonus. Glad I play standard.

But seriously what did my pc pathfinder do to you? jfc

also

"They want us to buff melee"
"Alright, nerf f*cking everything else, especially anything easy, early and fast."

Also, is it just me or does this patch kinda result in a stealth buff to mageblood?

I will say, like everyone else, and even though I know it's a distraction, I am *really* excited about the seasonal mechanic though. Enough to spend some time on it anyway.

Yes it is, clasic out of context questions in order to poorly discredit someone based in gameplay time.


Yes for obvious reasons out of your sight, playtime isnt bonded to enjoyment.
The fact that you need this to explained to you is laughable at this point.

PD: dont remove /edit my posts without notification, i dont like censorship.

I appreciate the concern for my dedication do the game, by brining up my progression in Sanctum, on the back of me saying something overly positive.

Truth is, Sanctum came at a time where work didn't allow me much gaming time, then transitioning into Christmas holidays, so the only 2 chars I made in SSF didn't make to 95 (which is the threshold for if I delete them, to save character slots).

If you looked at my profile, you'll see that this is not the norm (and I don't mind keeping it public). Kalandra I had a 96 and a 99 in private league with 39/40, as one example. All of my 100s are done in PL or SSF.

Anyways, making it personal against my account doesn't discredit my appreciation for the game, nor does it prevent me from defending PoE against those that crusade the "I don't like this, so F you GGG" on the forums.

Just as people have the right to criticize things (which can be healthy, granted), just as well should those that enjoy the game speak up, so the loud negativity doesn't stand alone against those that enjoy the curve-balls and problem solving GGG throws at us, in an otherwise top-tier game.

By all means, tell GGG what you don't like. But even if the echo-chamber of forums/reddit confirms your beliefs, doesn't mean that it's the "truth". Many people simply can't be bothered dealing with the negativity of such places, so our support goes unheard.

I love the game, and for this league I have 2 weeks of vacation to get lvl 100 and 38/40 on private league with 15 other like-minded people. It'll be a blast, and I know we'll have a ton of fun ... which at the end of the day, is what a game is all about.

Stay sane, Exile! <3
Ps. those mana reservation nerfs are largely counter balanced by providing those very same notes on the weapons.

I too have been a bit too extreme with my negativity in my first post, so I do agree that it is absolutely fair and right for you to enjoy this. As I said in my admission of being too.. terminal? Absolute? in my post, there is a side to everything.

So I respect that you have fun with this, make the best of it and just play to have fun.

What I do not think is a good mindset is to have a single mechanic as counter for a general problem.

Because that is a very, very bad way to deal with it. I do think the reservation nerfs specifically is what hurts build diversity. A lot. At least viable builds. And to expect for a single league mechanic, one that seems to be geared to the top end of difficulty, to fix a massive, foundational problem is not a good way.

For example, look at Dead by Daylight. A by now, pretty dead game, inhabited by a huge amount of bots. They too had that approach. One problem showed up? Make one specific character that counters it and every other character still suffers. And once they went and fixed the underlying issue, the character either became obsolete or game breakingly busted.

I do admit a lot of people don't give valid criticism. I too was a bit too harsh in my first words even if I still stand by them mostly. I don't say you can't have fun or that everything is bad. But I do say that the introduction of a new mechanic does not make up for such a massive problem in any sustainable way.

Everyone done crying or should i check back in a few more days?

rip sabo
Why remove the Mine/Trap Damage buff?
Not all Sabos are Seismic Traps, some of us are Hexblast, Eye of Winter, icicle Mine etc etc

Us projectile Trapper/Miners have no use for increased AoE.

This change just nerfd "redirected" all the different ways Sabos are played into building a Seismic Trapper.

TBH, pre nerf "change", Ive felt that Sabos are lacking in damage, so I switched to Assassin.

Now, y'all choose to nerf the damage further?

Much sad, I hope someone finds an interesting build for sabos (other than Seismic Trap) with all these changes.
