Path of Exile 0.11.0

wow really nice job

Love the changes, hate what is happening to Standard economy. I think we need one simple change which is to bring back Legacy League and send dead HC players there. This would stabilize the economy for Standard players. The other option is to make it a true Hard Core, you die, your gear is gone. I would suggest this once the game is out of Beta and the desync issues are cleared up.

so are they also increasing the physical damage bonus received from helping oak? or is it now better to take the skill point?

I don't like the HP nerfs. People go HP and HP regen bcs armor and evasion are weak and unpredictable, and HP is not. When Kole or Brutus is hitting you armor does almost nothing, good luck with evading and with recent curse nerf on bosses even more accent has been put on how bad the armor rating system is. So we are now to respec into armor nodes bcs they will net, what, 10% more armor points and 2-3% more armor at lvl 70+? That's really nothing. Who and how tested this? It seems to me that you think (GGG balance team) that we all have KAom's chest, when the fact is, almost no one has it, only very very rich players do (they are rich for just having it). The rest of us, with so-so HP gear and 50 life nodes run around 6000hp or less, sacrificing a lot. You now think that is OP? group of blue voidburnes takes that HP down in a second even with 80% fire res and 50% "armour".

/rant.

I like the new orb! But, I also like exalted orb. I found 3 exalted exalted in almost 2 years. I guess I will never find a new one. Orbs for crafting are so scarce in this game that crafting is really not an aspect of the game for most people (unless we are talking about 4 linking gloves or such). When I found Exalted orb I was very happy bcs I was only 9 away from buying something decent from lucky people.

I think current crafting system with current orb drop rate (doing 51% qauant map, with quant gear yields zero orbs or perhaps a fusing very very often) only encourages RMT dealers. New leagues will slow them down, gz on that, but new orb is their new hope as well. Since they hoarded exalts, they will easily buy-off new orb from players desperate for items.

You should really consider having NPC offer exalting service, and "store" service for fixed amount of some other currency, a bit more common currency, gcp, regal or maybe even divine orb (like, 10 gcp for exalting service). This would fix a lot of economy probles and drive RMT traders further from the game.

My concern is the bloodmagic will cost more now if we have less hp but mana wont have the same problem. Everthing besides this sounds great but if life regen is less because max hp is less then blood magic will be harder for most people to use as effectively without it beibg retuned.

The HP changes scare me, but if its just we all have less HP and monsters do less damage, evasion should work exactly the same and armor will be buffed. It'd be nice if evasion is buffed to compensate - we'll see. I really want to know if the old sashes will get the buff that the new ones will.

I find the new orb really dumb. I mean, its really neat for crafting purposes, but it's just another orb that will be too valuable to use.

I'm really excited for the HP changes, now you can actually get passives other than health nodes and regen, you know like try out some of the ones you've never used before :)

If all they're doing is reducing damage a bit so the existing armor values are a little bit better then I will be really disappointed. We'll have to see, I guess.

Also, my high HP righteous fire build will be nerfed. To anybody confusing this with a lowlife build, most of the damage comes from the righteous fire AOE itself, which scales directly off how much HP you have, not from the bonus to spell damage.

OR the hp nodes will be even more important

If GGG completely screws the pooch, maybe? That's certainly not the intent.
