Your Core Game is Broken!

Standard isn't the core game, leagues are. If you haven't realized that already then... god bless you (had to try really hard not to swing a bucket of insults at you there).

Seriously, don't bother posting on these forums again. Your opinion is perfectly useless. You're on the same level as some dude who would complain that an RPG doesn't have enough shooter elements, or something.

PoE is about mapping and you're 'nerfing the map gameplay?'

Mapping is not nerfed. 'Only one map' whole league are nerfed.

So, if I'm good in this game you're nerfing good players for what?

If you are really good player - you know how to evolve and not stuck in the past.

uH, NO, THEY NERFED MAPPING all together. you can never have 5 sextants up, or all you will ever do is boot your old ones, thus any kind of blocking at all is screwed. want to set it up to run 4-5 different main maps, sorry they no longer want you to want to run more than one map. want to use sextants, gonna have to focus on one singular map, period.

Rip Biscos

All good and all but I wanna see treechange + ascendancy changes so I have at least a day or 2 to think up some kind of build

I love hearing the cries of some of the players here. They are winging because they cannot abuse the game mechanics to get an unfair advantage, I suppose you will see next league that you are no pro, but a regular scrub! haha love it.

If you truly think the seasoned players who know how to play this game relied solely on these mechanics to get in game riches, you truly are a special kind of idiot. Those all same players know how to build wealth in this game, which is not hard to do by any means, and they will always stay at the top of the food chain, players like you just got knocked down even further.

I really like the changes. Now all we need is a x% increase to mob hp and people will praise you GGG for this patch.

Never used this shit, because without blocking it's almost non profitable, but blocking cut a lot of maps from your active pool and I like to run different maps.

So, no, mapping is not nerfed.

Bisco nerf was pretty obv. Like literally every build used it

Sextant nerf is pretty cool. I did it yes i did it. And i got bored of farming the same map over and over. iT will be more fun now.

This. I get bored out of my skull if I run the same map more than 3 times in a row. Weeks on end of running the same map would have me opening up both wrists. Atlas 156/157 ftw.

The problem with this change is that the casual players are going to suffer the most even though they are all smug about the nerfs here so they can stick it to the 1%.

1. Sextant blocking was already the best way for casuals to play the game too, most of them just did not realize it. It was a one time investment to then actually have some useful stuff drop in the 1 or 2 hours you can play per day. I would know as I am part of that group.

When I play after work I would like to actually have some engaging gameplay and maybe drop 1 or 2 items that are useful. With the basic mapping system both are not available. We are back to wandering through empty spaces more than we actually kill mobs now and we won't drop anything from the 3 mobs that usually populate a map either. Boss killing also still shit and not worth it.

2. The casual players are going to suffer economically, more than the 1%. The 1% will just resort to flipping only now. At the same time sextants were a useful source of income for those who did not block their maps. And a lot less items will drop in total, so those that do drop will become more expensive while the income of the large margin of the playerbase stays the same.

But yeah you guys go ahead and celebrate the victory of the masses...
