Changes to the Purposeful Harbinger Notable Passive

It makes perfect sense that you fix this for abuse of unintended uses like soltice and the like, but why would you nerf replenishing presence midleague? Is it because that one person on reddit got 100% regen per second? It clearly says you and nearby allies, and sounds exactly like an aura, the collateral damage of this nerf will be inconsequential to the top end builds that abuse mechanics and devastating for those of us using it legitimately. The top end builds mainly use endbringer/heraldry + purposeful harbinger not replenishing + purposeful. Anyone paying attention to the prices of these mods together could tell you this (adjusted for roll weight. ie crafting difficulty). Seems to lack a bit of oversight. Am I salty? Yes, am I salty because I invested dozens of ex into abuse? No, I'm salty because legitimate interactions are being nerfed mid league

this, while i also could agree that a nerf wouldnt be the end of the world for these clusters, mid league is just fucking retarded, and no, i'm not sorry for wording it that way, plenty other builds are brokenly op, imo HH should have been nerfed to the ground ages ago, but i wouldnt go around and bitch about it being overpowered, not until stuff like this happens at least, i've already given up my guardian and promptly deleted it since honestly, it wont be viable for me and i wont be interesting in spending another 20ex over the 13+ i already spent on it trying to craft endbringer and purposefull harbinger together with a jewel socket, not to mention the pain of actually having people respond in trade and then all the time in the character, the pain of converting it to the rf herald guardian thing it was without everything in place from the start, i mean, this is just pure and utter bullshit on GGG's end, i would not be opposed to it happening after the league ends, but not mid league.

While the nerf is obviously needed, this should have been handled earlier.

Your mistake (balancing), followed by your mistake (telling people it will stay this league), followed by your mistake (changing your mind and handling it too late).


You, GGG, deserve a truckload of backlash for how this was/is being handled.


Too much time investment from too many players by now.

Yes I quite agree. The bug fixes are necessary, but the handling of this all has been pretty poor.

Ah well, nobody is perfect, mistakes happen, its just a video game.

Maybe it's time to go back to the 1-2 week stand by bewteen leagues so you can actually test and fix bugs before they launch.

I'm so tired of being beta testing this game every single league I decide to play.

Look at the state of your fucking game atm, it's atrocious, from performance issues to questionable design/mechanic decisions to outrigh fucking things up like this mid-league, W-T-F happened to you, GGG.

You do realize that leagues are essentially a temporary test realm for new mechanics right? That was the whole reason leagues were introduced. If you don't enjoy testing new mechanics just play standard.

If it's just testing there was no reason to nerf it in the middle of the league. Your logic makes no sense at all.

Hi, I would like to buy your Voices Large Cluster Jewel listed for 50 exa in Delirium (stash tab "jebaited"; position: left 6, top 9)

Offer 50c

I've been having sooo much fun with trade this league, soooooo many salty replies though, so sooo soo much salt.

Thank you very much for this GGG!

Good. Obviously this was an abuse of the mechanic. Glad you fixed it.

There's no reason to use logic here. People don't care about the builds in reality they just want to see someone else unhappy.

true, they just want to see people essentially wasting their time and currency for something that shouldnt have been a waste, only because there exists cunts that desides abuse the everliving fuck out of mechanics

My question is this: What will GGG do to correct the harm done to the player base?

This league could have been quite possibly the best ever made with proper quality assurance measures. Instead, we got a myriad of 1-shot mechanics, massive performance hits, and an economy breaking new set of abilities.

Given the sheer number of exalted orbs lost by many players, the blockers to getting items that other people faced due to this poor communication and oversight, the time lost and the frustration, this should be treated seriously.

Lately there has been a trend of compensating players with in-game currency, loot, etc when devs "mess up". Battlestate Games is an example of this. Not saying this is the right solution here or for POE, but it's something GGG should consider. Given that the entire explosion was created by "enjoy this for the rest of the league" official dev response, it seems fitting that the player base should not be made to suffer MORE than it already has here. My 2 cents.
