Balance in Path of Exile: Blight
|
Meh, most stuff has barely ever applied to me or I wouldn't even know it had changed. Should I just ditch the friends and job and become a gamer recluse so I can actually see some of this stuff? >.>

" I agree with you on veiled mods! Legion was the first league I try-harded and I found myself bummed out that I couldn't craft some of the modifiers I wanted and had to try to find and tip someone to get a craft - which is not at all fun to do. However, I somewhat disagree with you on your point about ascendancies. I like the idea of ascendancies each having their own flavor and you should have 2-3 ascendancies to pick from if you want to make a certain build. I don't think people will only pick the most OP and fail with anything lesser. PoE is at a point where powercreep is real, and virtually everything is broken and absurdly overpowered with enough investment. Undeniably, most players are rolling Necro for minion builds, most players are rolling Assassin for poison builds. I get that. But I'm excited about making a poison Pathfinder and RF Chieftain with the DoT changes, and a DB Guardian with the new minion changes, and I bet you I wreck the endgame all the same, albeit a bit slower :) |

I only got to page 10 in reply's to this post ! Congrats GGG you have a new record set for pissed off people ! I play for fun and I dont find slow clearing builds fun, their more like work! molten strike dead , Cyclone dead melee dead ... path of exile ? I just dont understand why you over nerf an totally kill a skill ? Thus I don't think you should call these posts balance as the scale shows some skills are worthless thats not balance its called tipping the scales !!!

" Friends, yes. They are merely a distraction in your quest for glory and domination of Wraeclast. Job, no. You need the money to buy that bad ass armor set for your poison Assassin. Seriously though, I'm not sure how much PoE you have played. But last league was the most I had played by far, it was my first time ever killing Shaper/Elder/Uber Elder. 95% of my time was "wasted" trying out new builds and learning what I could. Blight league I won't be able to play nearly as much, but I'm willing to bet I will accomplish even more endgame stuff in a fraction of the time spent. |

" Ha! I seriously hope you're joking. Molten strike was still really strong last league, just no one knew it because Cyclone was the silliest most busted ability they've ever made. You could STILL roll any Cyclone build you want and destroy all content. I don't understand why you folks always overreact to much-needed sensible balance changes. This game gets easier and easier with every passing league, just with different skills and abilities each time. |

" Wait, some people actually play this game with the sole goal of playing only ONE ascendancy? Like, what? I thought the entire point of this game was trying out new builds, and with power-creep the possibilities are endless. But okay mate, buh bye. |

So TS ranger trader is still the GGG approved build, and they rest are newb traps and streamer bait, like always.
No changes to trade, because everything is broken as intended. Path of Merchants. And now even harder to get mana. Directly punishing all play. (Won't apply to pawnshop all stars of course, nothing ever does.) Trade is 1000x more OP than anything else and SSF doesn't help because it's balanced exactly like a trader/streamer league. My only hope for having any fun for the full length of this league are the engagement control changes. If I can have some kind of not-trade-based mechanism of controlling which maps drops so I can consistently play in areas I enjoy and not be brutally punished for it, I'll endure all the other trash. As of now though, still, no more than 5$ will be spent, at best. Likely zero if my cynicism proves founded. Too much censorship that you never even see.

Mana leech and life leech need to work for attacks and spells. Know one will use spells if its not the same as phy or range builds there just no point.
Forget thinking mana needs to be something its not. This has been big problem for years since close beta, I want to play a caster build, and each time I make one its so fun till I forget I need to run 4 mana potions and hit every key on my keyboard just so I can keep attacking no fun in that just bad design and game devs not listening to there players for YEARS YEARS, Chris time to wake up, you know this make no sense and its not working. Time to fix all leech as one leech for all damage types. (should take 5min to do) |

" It's call immersion. If this game is going have zero respect for it, it might as well reskin the whole thing as a bullet hell shooter. It already plays that way if you're suing the one true dev approved class. (TS/trader) Do you not understand what the R in ARPG stands for? Are you seriously defending GGG for punishing the use of a R in a game that's marketed (at least originally) as having freedom to choose? How is it actual freedom if there's clearly a right and wrong answer? /smh The ascendancies were are and will always be a mistake. Your argument woulde make more sense if I could put any profession on any of the player character skins. But since I can't, since you're absolutely forced to link profession and class, Too much censorship that you never even see.
