Charges don't look great, but they are more clear.

Purity change is fine. Swap out the max res aura for the area you're in. Wasn't aware Purity was that high on the chopping block. There are still lots of bigger problems to fix.

Are we going to see a matching enemy elemental damage reduction to go with the Purity change?

New Descent seems fantastic.

Yeah, Because we all have, or want to have to have, 3 <item that holds aura gems> with 3 different colours of the socket that will hold your resist.

This is just another shit on the solo player and another little push to the pretend hardcore grouping shopping game.

I'm becoming quite disgusted with the now apparent real intentions of this company and these people I had so much faith and respect in/for.

Fixed that for you. Don't want to look like your misusing a term for marketing reasons.

You mean using a term entirely correctly for marketing reasons? Seems fine to me. Keep in mind that these "expansions" are of new zones/acts.

God, now they are nerfing purity, destroying so many characters along the way.
A simple respec wouldnt even cut it at this point (which we wont even get) because i built my high level character around the expensive items that i am using.

GGG should really stop balancing stuff during a new ladder, and focus more on balancing for the next ladder.
Having your character destroyed every patch or two is getting so annoying at this point that i am about to call it quits.
"No more character wipes" is just a farce. If every patch contains so heavy balance changes (DURING A LADDER), then we cant speak of anything other than this game being still in the beta.
Each balance patch is a potential character wipe for many players. Stop messing with balance during the ladder.

I cannot agree with the new aesthetic look of charges. They look like something from alpha or closed beta. It looks shoddy and unappealing. If you want to count, count the number in the buffs area.

So, more or less useless Auras, Purity is nerfed to where it should be. We'll see how it's after the patch.

Not so happy with the Charge graphics you show, I liked the way they look, too bright now, and looks like christmas tree stuff.

I thought 3 new auras in this patch was too good to be true...it was just Purity split into 3 different auras all along >_>.

and here people were thinking we would get the Slowing aura, Critical Strikes aura or Damage aura that monsters have. Hahaha.

I hope in 1.0.2 we actually get something fresh, Enhance probably just increases numbers on certain gems, I'd like to see new gems that actually add new gameplay.

Fyi i hope with nerfing Purity too the ground they have in mind that bosses like Temple Piety already were able to one shot people , unless the intention is for people to skip map bosses in general.

Learn meanings of words plx.

Learn that dictionary definitions don't automatically apply to gaming terms plx. By that logic, every single content patch would be an expansion.

It isn't remotely correct. Online only games release content patches. PoE is doing exactly that. The size makes no difference in this context. Its either a content patch or an expansion, and in this case its simply a large content patch. Its 100% about marketing to say "look at us, were releasing FREE expansions!!".

Sorry, but this game still feels like beta and I just stomped my expectations for future content. Quality is out of reach again.

Especially if they keep messing with balance so heavily DURING a new ladder.
I would totally understand balance patches inbetween two ladders, but messing with stuff while the ladder is still ongoing is totally a beta move.
