Whining about losing OP builds .. Seriously, what do ppl think when they play an absolutely OP build that requires no brain to play anymore? That the liferegen got nerfed - with > 10k regen numbers, you didnt expect that? That was overdue. Kinda ironic that the critmulti change kills any legacy bino if you want it at max effect.

Congratulations on missing the point completely! ;)
This time the nerfs are fine and not the problem. The problem starts with "you have to reroll your items". But rerolling items still wouldn't be THAT bad but telling people they have to reroll while everyone and their grandmother knows that it is not even possible to reroll corrupted or mirrored items is beyond stupid and ruthless. It is as unfair as it can be! And therefore the rage is more than justified.

Exactly. People are not understanding that it screws over people who invested alot of time to obtain mirror item(s) only to have the value of it decrease because of this

Really excited about all of the changes in this patch except... What the fuck is with this crit multi situation?

Really pisses me off that they're essentially saying that everyone with existing crit multi items has to basically sink a bunch of divine orbs for no reason at all. That's not an actual balance change, because crit multi is just as powerful as it was before, it's just punishing people's existing crit builds and having no effect on future crit builds. Seems like a real dick move, and something that I wouldn't expect from a company like GGG that I usually trust to make smart decisions in these sorts of areas. Why not just automatically update the items to the new crit multi values? Or just not even make the change in the first place? It seems the only benefit to the change is making it marginally simpler to new players to figure out what a crit multi item will do for them. So why attach some weird sorta-but-not-really-nerf that just functions as an unnecessary currency sink and has no real effects on actual game balance?


I'm a fairly casual player and barely have a few exalts to my name, I can't afford to use divine orbs to reroll my Bino's and all my rares. So essentially you've just kinda dicked me down, and the people who have enough currency to reroll their 250k dps crit characters will just pay the fine and move on.

You can't use your old items in new leagues so it's a moot point.

They changed it because people have been confused about how crit multiplier works for years, apparently.

"All sources of increased Critical Strike Multiplier have been changed to additional Critical Strike Multiplier. This change brings the functionality in line with how most players think it works."

Not everyone plays in leagues only. This absolutely affects everyone playing in Standard or Hardcore.

I get that they're changing it to make it clearer to people who are confused, but I don't get why they're forcing people with existing items to dump currency just because of a clarification issue

No, it brings the functionality in line with how most idiots who don't have even basic math/reading/logic skills thought it works. Sadly, all other players now have to pay for ignorance of aforementioned lazy stupid fuckers.

although i agree with you, there is still time for them to fix this shit. the only thing that they have to do is to reset the crit values to all the items they dont want nerfed, themselves! like with the skill tree!

otherwise that would be one of the worst, if not THE worst, decisions in the company history

Blessed Orbs are required to update the following to their new values: implicits mods on all Rapier base types, implicits mods on Curved Blades, Lithe Blades and Exquisite Blades.
Divine Orbs are required to update the following to their new values: All craftable Jewel mods which grant Critical Strike Multiplier, Facebreaker, Marylene's Fallacy, Fragment of Eternity (the Descent: Champions Unique), Bino's Kitchen Knife, Romira's Banquet, Shadows and Dust, Ungil's Harmony, Eclipse Solaris, Death's Harp, Mortem Morsu, The Goddess Scorned and Abyssus.

Did the explain if it will have the old value(not range) updated entirely, or will it update and then roll a different value than it was before(Ex.:30% before = 45% now or 20-30% . 1.5 = x)? Sorry, i didn't read all comments in the thread to know it.

i absolutely hate the rerolling! but only cuz it is fucking tedious and costs me currency and shouldn't be my problem/work/loss of time.

fuck that rerolling, go fucking change the items automaticly and don't make me work! all this bullshit legacy fuckshit, go fucking sort it out and make it the same for everyone. and go fuck off with that rerolling bullshit.

I'm fucking angry and annoyed in case nobody noticed.

[P.S.: i don't give a crap about my builds not working anymore or being/not being op....i never had an op build]
