Changes to the Purposeful Harbinger Notable Passive

Hey, an idea. Why not make a new "special" league. The Flashback Leagues. That would be awesome. Bring back past mechanics that were taken out like legacy, and it will interact with delirium. This, would compensate for people rather than quitting the league.

Ehm

for some i see prices going up.
how about you show prices for things related to the broken build? i guess they exploded?
and i'm assuming things will get back to "normal" (if there is such a thing).

Of course, they exploded. Voices were for 75 ex, solstice vigil 35ex and the jewels were 3ex pop. I made a fortune out of them.

It hit everything, not just unique weapons. Maps, frags, breachstone, catalysts, Delirium orbs, Cards, Fossils everything that had value went down due to this influence of currency and borderline exploitation. I filtered out of my loot filter everything that had a value of less than 3c (except currency and maps) and let me tell you, the mapping is quite an "empty" experience.

Not to mention a red magic train influencing the market.

btw. this is why you shouldn't go for a build that ABUSE GAME MECHANICS and BREAKES stuff. in many other games this would be called an EXPLOIT as it was cleary not intented by the devs.

Lol, sure they will. Hollow kneejerk reactions like that shouldn't be taken seriously by devs.

If they wish to remain funded, then yes they should take the opinions of their regular players, and large contributors into account, over the casuals that quit with 10 challenges complete after playing a month of the new league.

Oh, stop the melodrama. How you guys can become so destabilized after a nerf in a video game is the sad thing, if anything.

Your friends will be back. Nobody except other people venting is buying the whole "I'm done for good" routine that gets repeated ad nauseam anytime some gamer doesn't get their way.

The people invested enough to run these top of the line builds aren't quitting over this, and GGG knows that.

I realize its difficult for you to understand, as your build is kinda meh, so you wouldnt be able to run one of these builds if you really wanted to. Though once you get better at the game, and can experience some higher end builds, this might become more clear to you.

My build is meh? Which one (considering I have characters hidden)? I'll take that as a compliment regardless as my builds this league have just been me messing around with random things as I'm not a fan of the mechanic.

Everyone has had their good builds nerfed at some point. Most don't just cry about it with hollow threats of 'quitting'. To say that all of your friends quit over it is nothing short of hilarious.

And it's not something limited to any one game. It's a tired gimmick people see on every game. You don't even need to play PoE at all to know how much of a lie your statement is.

I get you're trying the smug angle because your "seething customer" routine isn't working, but leave this one to your betters as well. Another reason why GGG is ignoring people who are just throwing fits.

Those people that had their good builds nerfed werent told explicitly that they wouldnt, and to go ahead, spend your currency min/maxing it, and heres a skill effect sale, buy some herald effects. Ohhhhh wait nahhh, nevermind, we changed our minds, sorry about the spent currency and money.

Im not throwing a fit personally, I dont run these builds, I dont care they are being nerfed. I do care that friends are going to quit over this, regardless of what you think, havent heard the ones im speaking of threaten to quit ever, because they expect nerfs to broken stuff, but, being told one thing and doing another thing completely, after people have spent currency and money on their products because of their first announcement, isnt something ANY company should do.

Idk about your super gg "hidden builds" lol. I said that this would be a huge blow to their credibility, and i can guarantee a good portion of their player base for at least the remainder of this league. Not only are people out cash from buying herald effects that were conveniently put on sale before this nerf announcement, the 100's of ex they put into these builds, wont even get them a return because the market has now bombed on most of those things :)

Like I said, the changes don't affect me directly, aside from me losing some people to play with, I do imagine this will affect their credibility directly though, as a company.

In other games the community director doesn't give their blessings to continue to do so.

Thx Bex ^^

That's an interesting way to think about it. Blizzard would straight up suspend players for doing it before nerfing it.

I suppose that's always a good thing about GGG and their philosophy when it comes to PoE. They see these things as their fault and try to rectify it. Some could argue that them fixing it is itself a punishment, but honestly, that's pretty tame.
