"Leaked" patch notes and concerns over changes

Can't wait for next week, keep up the good work GGG. :-)

And don't worry Chris, I'm sure anyone with half a brain and any insight in how the game works in the current state agrees that these skills/keystones needs to be brought into balance before closed beta ends. (Yeah thats right, nerfs are still not happening while things are under balance test).

The kids copying OP builds from the forum since they can't survive on their own ones will always cry no matter what you do, it's not even that bad here at all. Generally game forums are 1000 times worse than here, I don't want to remember anything I ever saw on any official MMO or Blizzard game forum. I hope this place does not become like that once we go live.

Don't worry about whining. People always rebel against change, no matter if it is justified or not. Even if the game started printing money, I bet there would be some guys who would have problem with it.

Keep up the good work.

Chris is too funny with his updates - don't worry Chris, we're (the fans) are in full support and anxiously waiting for OB to go live.

Not raging too hard - just that the days won't go faster. :p

You guys have done insanely hard/difficult work to put out such a great game with such a small team.

Good to hear PoE will keep evolving for a long time. Hopefully there are many people taking things calmly for every QQ doomsday thread. I also feel that some sneak preview of what goodies for our money will be available come OB might be very interesting. On the other hand I am already can barely resist going silver.

Looking forward to all the interviews and previews from the press event! :P

Is there any chance to give us talent calculator for Open Beta release version before actual release to let us plan our builds in a short advance(like 12 hours)?

Thanks Chris. I was hoping for something that might change the tone around here from negative to positive, and I think that was some great official action on your part.

Enjoy your M&Ms.

Ignore the whiny bitches and do what is best for the game.


Medium size bag feeds a family of four here in the states... just sayin

Please don't feel you need to justify balance. Ever.
Your tone is not stern, it's apologetic. There is no need for that. Whiners will usually whine about the wrong thing anyway.
Had you announced changes such as pay to win, then you would need to justify. Balance does not need justification, and whoever fails to comprehend that should not beta test.
