(Helping GGG in) Creating a unique item: a breakdown of the breakdown

The post isn't even a few weeks old and they call it a necro. :(
I hope to see more input from Diaternals, but I imagine this is a case of 'happy customers say nothing'. And in this situation, 'happy' can also mean 'apathetic'. We almost certainly won't be hearing from the supporter who funded Soul Taker, for example. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

I shouldn't be commenting too much in this thread (too new to the game)...
But I think the game will not become more difficult anymore. No, really, with things like Uber Atziri out there, there is no point. And the next mini expansion will help with the mid and early game. I expect the meta stabilizes a little more over time. Then again, I'm too new to know, I just have hopes. Add a Forsaken Masters questline

" I am vehemently against the idea of anyone being 'too new' to comment on something where at least some of the topic stretches beyond the confines of the argument. Your observation that SotV may have created a temporary ceiling for difficulty, and that ?ofthe? will be more about early and mid game are not at all unjustified. Especially not if the devs have told me I'll like it -- and I'm infamously early-to-mid game-centric. That said, I'm not sure this shift in focus will result in metagame stabilisation. I suppose when we say metagame, we really are talking almost exclusively high-end. On the other hand, a shift in focus away from high end and towards early-to-mid could also result in existing metagame issues at the high end just getting worse. If you're new enough to worry about being new, I strongly suggest you don't worry about any of this and just keep playing. And keep enjoying. Because that's how best to maximise your time here: IF things go south, at least you will have lots of good memories to take with you. ;) https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

As usual a good read, really sad this has caused so much frustration to you and others who bought the special pack and its definitely understandable.
Really happy your last unique will be based off pillar, which I love and I think the game kinda knows. Regarding your comment on the sword design and for standard, I Will eventually burn currency in one of the temp leagues in order to get unleashed (as long as it doesnt require a mirror of kalandra, haha) and though I understand probably most wont bother, I think there might be a minority that will (this is hoping it retains its uniqueness and one might be able to build around in some way be it with a niche build or not). Really looking forward to the uniques Oblivious

One thing I can't fault is GGG's trust in my writing ability. They barely touched the flavour text for either sword so far, and I hope this continues with Unleashed, because...I've done a fair bit of writing for that one. ;)

" Yeah, I'm having fun, :P I'm probably one of the few Vorthos (with a little of Johnny) out there in this game. But, I'm new, and because of that I have hopes. That's the reason I should not be talking about the shifting metagame: lack of experience. The snapshot fix should come with lots of balance changes. I wonder what thing will break the game next, but I can't imagine something worse than that exploit plus Shavronne's Wrappings plus Crown of Eyes. That, and the fact that GGG is releasing underpowered things on purpose (Lightning Ball!), or I think so. Oh well, we'll see. I hope balance from now (given all the complaining) goes like a damped harmonic oscillator. PS: And no one exploited the Vaal gems. That's better than the cast on [insert your broken variety here]. People complain, but it's better than some cry about overpowered things.
