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.

Lmao so you get back that dmg with 12k life or shield which is kinda ok, but if you played RF you know that RF dealt dmg because you had lvl 27 skill gem, with which RF dealt 7167.2 base dmg hahaha
I expected nerf and was ready for it, even big one but this is like insane nerf :) You now effectively lost like80% dmg.
Anyone know how we could replace this to have decent clear speed now, is flame dash now viable to replace with something i highly doubt it but maybe?

Not idea if you are trolling?

70% of 12.000 is 8400.

With 5k Life you get 3500 fire damage, so that's around 21% more damage than before. (2447)

Time to get back to elementary school to learn basic math?

Well, it's an interesting path you are taking with the gem system but I also think that removing stuff in the standard league is uncalled-for.

While I understand that it could bring technical issues in the future, it sure sucks that people who often worked hard to get the alternate gems will see them removed with just a snap of the fingers.

Imagine you have been working on your garden for a while and out of nowhere someone just comes and snatch your tomatoes and berries out of the argument that now salads are what's legal to eat. That doesn't feel really good does it ?

Why bother interacting with the different systems in the game if down the line we see all of our work and rewards just thrown down the drain ?

Don't get me wrong, I have spent quite some time and money on the game meaning I enjoy most of it. It's just that I don't feel all too confident about such decision to not let the alternate gems in the game the same way you let the enchants go legacy.

I ask you please to reconcider this point.

Outside of that good luck to those willing to participate in the league.

What?.... Alternate quality gems weren't hard to obtain
