Cannot wait for all the complaints about the new area levels. The same people who gave a +1 or quick "ya sounds good" are going to be the ones losing their minds on the forums because act 3 merci will be hell to get through. Just imagine while leveling you jumped into an easy mod lvl 66 maps middle of act 3 when you clearly aren't ready to handle mapping. You will be stuck grinding act 2, then city of sarn, then getting frustrated at docks, then in lunaris then once you have enough lvl 68 maps (as all that grinding will give you alot of 66s and you'll be close or over 80 so what's the point of starting at 66 maps, vendor them up and take RNG out of it) you'll finally reach the end game, where you can grind for gear to do lvl 77 maps (ofc you have to find them first).

It's grinding so you can grind. Not even being most effective either, just to allow yourself to progress. This is one of the reasons D3 was so frustrating, you farmed act 1 inferno to allow yourself to farm act 2 inferno, to allow yourself to farm act 3 inferno then you hoped to get gear 1% better to speed up your clear speed in the slightest. All of this knowing that 50m upgrade you just bought will only be significantly improved by a 2b gold upgrade.

I'm begging you, don't do it. I was so happy you did away with it in alpha, please don't bring it back.

I am very happy to see the skill rebalancing and the rebalancing of Merciless Act 3. These are changes that needed to come, and will greatly benefit the playerbase. The game is currently unpolished, and working on the skill system is a good start to getting more players interested in the content. I would really love to speak with you directly about my own thoughts on the skill system, but I think that I will make a forum post in General Chat directly focusing on those 4 gems that you mentioned. Hopefully that will help to generate good feeback for those gems outside of their dedicated skill threads, because I know that many players do not check there anymore, and a lot of the content in those threads is outdated.

I am still upset to see people posting about how the team should "fix desync" in every patch. I just returned to this game after a hiatus, opened up a hardcore character, played for a few hours, and guess what? I had no problems with desync at all, even in a party. (Though I did notice framerate drops whenever I tried to cast Raise Skeleton.)

I think the leaderboard for the signature events is not quite correct. At the very least Choilicious had a level 29 shadow finish in event 34 (http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/349924) and NoObLeR was a level 30 ranger in event 22 (http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/342105)

From Season Two event 57 onwards, we've modified prizes so that they go down to lower levels and have slightly increased random rewards.

Just STFU about the "desync" issues. I've NEVER had a desync except very small enemy warping and I've NEVER lost a HC character to desync. Whiners QQing about desync live in the damn sewers or just doesn't know how to play this game.

Oh with rebalancing discharge. Either bump the damage up like 25-50% and keep the 4% crit chance. Or jack the crit to 5-6% and call it a day. Discharge is balanced around diamond flasks. You only need a second to set off discharge and in most cases if it crits it's going to wipe the screen out. With diamonds, pop a diamond, boom, screen clear. Without diamonds, boom, oh shit my life is dropping like a rock and I didn't even take this group to half life.

The amount of crit you need to make it work leaves you just wanting to use ANY other skill that has 6% or more crit chance because you'll easily break 50% chance with the same amount it takes to get discharge over 35%. I rather be critting 60% of the time with FP, doing insane DPS rather than criting 40% of the time with discharge for one burst.
