Content Update 3.23.0 -- Path of Exile: Affliction

It's not all bad news. My two standard characters I still care about playing have been buffed pretty much all around.

Also I had that Replicant Amulet drop in Delve a little bit ago while I was taking a break from reading all of this.

The GemQualityType condition has been removed.

which was added in heist

GemQualityType Superior
GemQualityType Divergent
GemQualityType Anomalous
GemQualityType Phantasmal

Does this mean we have to loot every quality gem to see if it's an alternative version?

Alternate quality gems will no longer exist. They're being replaced with Transfigured Gems, which you can get from the Divine Font in the Eternal Labyrinth.

edit: I understand the Transfigured Gems part,
But will there be a loot filter for Transfigured Gems?

I would assume there will be some additional changes to the lootfilters. I believe those changes will be communicated sometime next week, so you should keep an eye on the Announcements section.

I don't really understand why they don't want people to play discharge at all cost.

so Cyclone has even more-"less AoE" now? Graeat

All you people thinking these transfigured gems are a meta shift are so funny, you're being deceived.

First of all, before you had a base gem + its quality + lab enchant; whereas now you only have the gem + quality. Nerfs overall. But whatever.

In any cases, worst part is Deadeye and Tornado Shot will still be dominating the meta, along with Lightning arrow, Pathfinder, etc. The skill/ascendancy distribution will be the exact same as it has been for the past 5 leagues.

Nothing changed, which is both extremely boring and disheartening

What are you even talking about?

HOW IS THIS FAIR ! RF was already Overpowered. Now you made it insane ? Any new player with an Invory Tower and few nodes can get billions of damage with RF now .. This needed a nerf not a mega buff.

Don't shout shit when you have no clue .... RF is nerfed into the ground

that's funny coming from someone who doesn't know how shit works lol

Yes, with Invory Tower and on high currency investment RF is buffed, but most ppl use it as a league starter(aka no investment to start with) and to compensate for the loss of flat damge, you need about 7K life. That is a lot of "wasted" investment into life without any damage benefit and 7K compared to 5K just means than the character is a BIT more oneshot proof. This results in a HUGE damage loss up until 100-120 Div into Character creation, because up until this point RF mainly scaled it's damage with Gem Level.

I don't like that the alternate quality gems are being deleted. The possibility of that awesome reward was the only reason I put up with Heist anymore at all. I dislike the 20% quality recipe not working for active skill gems now, and the new gems being locked behind eternal labyrinth. I do not want to grind that anymore. Combined with the trend of our loot and whole mechanics being deleted, I don't think I should spend my time in this game. I was looking forward to the new league, and tried to take into account the future requirements POE and POE2 when I picked parts for a new computer. But, I respect my time so I'll find another ARPG to play.

good bye methamorp, no one used killed you mutant whit extra invincible aura any more
