what else? the ones not complaining are non dedicated losers who can't master the game?
you may be wrong with your serious and false accusation.

Awesome news! GGG you're doing it right.

But it seems like casters are being pushed back once again. I hope you have some exciting things coming up for them to make casters desirable choice again.

Most people think without looking the big pictures.

They see that change and giggle thinking about AXN or Ventor being butt hurt when in fact those changes only hurt the middle class (like in politics).



It also hurt the game balance. Top mirrored axe for example was about 800-880 pdps.
Now we will have 1000 pdps weapons? how do you balance this? raising monster damages and health? lowering players defenses? lowering old mods? (and then pissing off people owning mirrored even more)

True a top 2h was doing the same dps than a legacy facebreaker those days but it was not because the mirrored item was too weak, it was because the skill tree and those unique items were never really thought and designed properly. Instead of raising the dps on mods why not making better melee weapons nods on tree?

There is 0 reason to raise the potential dps of weapons and skills right now. All this game need is better AI, cleaver monsters tactics, better skill tree planning and less AOE at low levels. But nope, they prefer raising the dps potential instead. All of this mean tons and tons of future nerf and buff.

This scream power creep and imbalance.

Step in right direction in term of communication improvements.

GGG need to understand that players are not asking for super detailed release patch notes. Brief description of broad intentions for a patch/update and list of modified spells, skills or items is good enough. No need to post change from and to values, etc. We just dont like to be kept in the dark.

I have yet to read manifesto on map drops but I have my hopes up that GGG will go in the right direction that will keep the game engaging, challenging and rewarding.

Cool stuff, looking forwards to it.

Now is the perfect time to also remove Eternal Orbs from the game, and perhaps make crafting potentially interesting again. The simple fact that the Eternal Orb exists just shortcuts the entire system and enables you to brute force anything given enough resources. Not to mention the boost it provides to botting and RMT.

One of the best constructive criticism comments among the 15+ pages of them.
Cheers to you sir and a bump for GGG to perhaps consider this!

Yes,remove eternal orbs so existing mirrored items will cost 2000 exalt and the new mirrored worthy will be ready by 2035.

Why not added physical on spell too? No love for EK and bear trap?

Are you fucking kidding me?

I have now WASTED HUNDREDS OF ETERNALS AND THOUSANDS OF HOURS crafting this since open beta in hopes of making it mirror worthy only for you to make higher mods just before I finish? I cannot express enough anger towards you. Looks like I'm done with PoE

My only regret is giving GGG any money, I wish I could take it all back after this slap in the face. GGG will never see another dime from me.

lol goodbye ! Do not forget to give your weapon before leaving !

this reply is useless but look how much space it takes up!

Really wish we could upvote posts right now.

Those ele mods on wands etc. have the potential to make some interesting builds, might try out some casters, though I've usually played melee and they seem to be in a decent place atm.... Having options is awesome.

A new higher item mod tier gives a better chance at getting high tier mods on high IL item drops, as someone who mostly plays self found and doesn't have much currency I can't craft top tier gear and this should make decent drops more common.


Good work as usual guys.

Remove what? Never seen an eternal orb, man ! ;)

Nah anyways, all the complaints in here come from people who have so much stuff in standard it's not even funny. Far away of my bed show, I couldn't care less about ruined mirrored items seriously. RMT will always exist, if they add more tiers or not.
