Open Beta - design changes

goodluck! im checking the countdown timer every few min, i can play about 6 hours after they open servers hope everything stablilizes by then ")

Brother Laz has contributed to Path of Exile? I'll be damned! Can we get more info on that? Long live Median XL and PoE!

It is important to me that you know that I'm overjoyed you put the Ranger projectile nodes on an even keel with the Shadow and Duelist areas.

I absolutely love GGG, no one can doubt that;

However I feel that so many of these changes are so knee-jerk, and the balance itself is almost non-existant.

I'm sad to say this, but I truely disprove of the balancing in this patch. The problems, while legit, are simply covered up, and over simplified, rather then fixing the problem.

Love ggg, but this patch of balance changes, not your highlight :*(

Love act 3 tho :S

What are you talking about? Give a some reference that which balance that you 'think' is cover up?

gj, ggg, gj gz! ;)

Cant wait to start playing!

wall of text :P, i skim read as i already had a headache from patch notes, but good job :)

Its still sounding harsh to compensate -60% of chaos resist to even get it back to zero in merciless - additional to the others. We'll hope and see if the 'reduced amount and strength of enemic chaos damage dealers will be a good enough balance, along with the new rainbow rings. It sounds possible, at least.

In general it seems to me, that life becomes even more the main mandatory thing, having left not much possible, viable decisions (for generic builds) beside itself even yet... we'll see, starting tonight - starting to get things better balanced if neccessary.

Here is what CI has become. Lose all your life. For 25% resists. That's ALL that keystone is now.

Please stop talking when you don't get the changes - chaos will be like the elements now, non CI users will have -60 chaos resistance at the highest difficulty, also Ci has othere benefits like no downsides to bloodrage and such.

I agree with SL4Y3ER 100% here. If that's the case there will be no more such thing as "CI users". Just get life - best benefit of all :D
