"Leaked" patch notes and concerns over changes

Its all good, keep up the good work.

Don't worry Chris, all I've seen from the alpha so far is amazing. The water changes might be a concern but I haven't seen them ingame and the stream isn't of highest quality.

That aside. Some of the nerfs are necessary, like dualtotem.
I actually think that dualtotem the way it is in the alpha is really cool. Most players were playing it this way anyways, spamming totems and cursing.

CI just looks a bit stupid on the passive tree with the appendix on it.

Chain is also goo with 2 bounces, and I think it was OP anyways, and made GMP less important.

Act3 all I've seen is so amazing and the monsters are soo cool, I really am pumped for Open Beta, non of my builds have been nerfed anyways, because I think Totems are boring (just as minions) and I rather have life than CI.


So good job GGG, people will always be complaining.

good guy chirs <3

Please do not feel the need to justify yourself as long as you are working for the best interest of the game in the long term.

If the changes being made open up more viable options and calm down some of the more "obvious choice" ones, then it's all good and the whiners are just going to have to suck it up.

Well removal of Diamonds makes me happy :D

Now I just want to hear desyncs are massively fixed.

Personally, I don't think the lead developer should have even bothered to personally write us a post explaining the changes happening on the alpha server. As a closed beta game, things are expected to change and the entitlement players feel is simply arrogant to the nth degree. You haven't paid for this game. It's not even a game. It's a closed beta of a game that hasn't even reached open beta. You also know these nerfs were bound to happen when the members of this community with the most experience and and knowledge of PoE mechanics and gameplay say they're OP. And the devs likewise.

Common sense is so rare nowadays.

This game is definitely going to the right direction keep it up GGG team

This is the type of thing that happens all the time on alpha - there's a good 75% chance they'll be added back in again before Open Beta (maybe doing the same thing as before) but are technically disabled in the current alpha build.

Thanks for the more info.

You and team are doing really good job.
