Haven't seen any prior announcements, this is a HUGE game changer. what are these pierce changes exactly? what are +pierce values? are you saying now projectiles will pierce through a fixed number of enemies? that means area of effect will become vastly superior and pierce itself worthless in comparison no? The pierce changes are really good so far. The pierce gem lets you always pierce about 5 enemies, which is really good and you no longer have to travel to the pierce nodes. I'm playing ED right now and previously you had to get 100% pierce chance by taking the pierce nodes and using the gem. Now the gem no longer gives you ED damage, so you only take the pierce nodes, which let you always pierce 2 or 3 enemies, depending on how many nodes you take. 2-3 enemies is still pretty good and ED feels just as reliable as before. In short, pierce is not "worthless".	Posted by NormieGamer1#1340 on Jul 13, 2017, 4:38:17 AM Quote this Post

I've searched on the forums and I've been keeping a close eye as announcements come out but I've seen/found nothing.	Posted by Xeridanus#6333 on Jul 13, 2017, 5:22:11 AM Quote this Post
All sounds aight, but i don't think you'll be "hearing from new players" about the tutorial system, because i think the majority of people in the beta are veterans. I don't think there's too many new players in there :p Also lol @ ppl who whine about mtx. Also lol @ ppl wanting to end legacy... as if there's going to be a new league between now and release of 3.0... so what difference does it make if legacy ends now or later. If you're done in legacy, just play the race or standard... Quit after Legion, rejoined PoE to see what the game's like now in 3.12.

shit nobody cares about beta shit. it's voided and therefore pointless to the max. no time to fix the goddamn labyrinth? disable it then TIL YOU HAVE TIME there haven't been any additions to the game proper in months. that is the reality of a PoE player, not some illusory beta bullshit that you have to BUY a key to participate in the first place. months? hell, the key issues haven't been tacked in all the YEARS of this pathetic game's existence since I have no hope for significant game design improvements in this game I am officially done with Path of Exile. done for good	Posted by LMTR14#6725 on Jul 13, 2017, 7:35:55 AM Quote this Post
