No shit Bex, should've thought about it when you were making public announcements that the build will be functional till the next league. I personally know a lot of people that farmed for several days non-stop AFTER your announcement to have fun with the build and now you fucked them over. Well done!!

exactly.

I lost over 120 hours of farming, and put all I had in the jewels. After a buggy one-shot-noone-knows-what-happened-yet-again bad performing league in which everything is grey for which I built a tanky thing to cope with the difficulty that got nerfed so hard my build was inefficient thus rerolling and trying to ignore even the saltiness of the streamers who more or less depend on this game I figured ok, if GGG states that the aura build will not be nerfed I'll just believe them and see what it is about.

So now I'm left with little resources. 120+ hours gone. You think I'll have fun now grinding from scratch to possibly hit another build you'll just trash at leisure?

Sorry for the inconvenience?

Not to mention you went against all the feedback that players have been giving you.

* Can't see shit anymore on the screen - check, did it again
* Performance issues - yup, added so much on top it was bound to be a problem
* Random oneshots - yes we made sure they were invisible by design this time
* Effects players dont like - sure but we need after kill effects, how else ..

Have I mentioned yet how you've managed to turn the atlas into the same grey map? Why have different tilesets? Just make one grey map. This is your best effort to project yourself into our desired play experience?

It all goes so far to make me believe you're psychologically conditioning us like a bunch of gamblers. The RNG, the lootboxes, the aversity to what we communicate to like, it all starts to form a picture if you add it up. To cope with your mistakes upkeeping some sort of a fragmented philosophy that says breaking balance can be a feat. Can't create balance - oh well let's just reason that keeping balance is bad: can't reach the prunes, oh well, they are probably sour. Does that ring a bell?

On top of that, I need to read about players taking joy in the loss of others like me. This amplifies the above, doesn't it?

"We should have noticed them sooner and recognised the severity more quickly once players started to create builds that abused this problem"

No, you should have tested. Which is another thing many players have been asking for that you didn't honor. You're not connected to the community at all. Additionally, now we are abusers? Did you just call your players a bunch of abusers? You know streamers caught on to the build and were playing it, right? They're abusers?

The level of ease you just used there once again amplifies my thoughts on how you consider us. Your apology basically blames us, the players, for your lack of quality assurance. Good way to pit players against each other to place the problem into the community, dodging that it all comes from GGG in the first place.


Terrible communication. Absolutely narcissistic.


I'm sad to have come back to try a league, having gone through your bugs and failing grey mechanics to have you be sorry for my abuse.


0/10. It will take a while to get over this.

lol
It's still 100% full broke powerful. Adjust your build and enjoy the excessive power you still have.

Also... Saying it won't be nerfed at all and then nerfing it anyway is the problem. Everyone expected a nerf until Bex said there would not be... THAT is the issue here. The nerf was needed. Leading people into a broken build just to take it away after is gross.

What a joke dude.... I've spent so much time grinding currency to be able to buy needed items. Well at least i didn't get burned by buying those items to flip/buying them to play the build now that nerfs are coming.

Reminds me of the block/spell block nerf of 2015

It's very funny complaining about the amount of money you spend for that build when RMT is clearly not allowed.
This league is by far the worst in my time with this game, and GGG saying that you're not gonna nerf it and then do it is all kinds of bs, but if you pay to buy 50ex because you wanted to play the very broken build when it was very clear that it was is against the rules FUCK YOU.

How about "No Shit GGG"? Not that I give a fk about any nerf they do, I work around it if I have to like most players do. We evolve.

She posts only what information is given to her, and she has done a great job at presenting what she knows.

Just because GGG put her in this position, do not swear at OUR Bex.

Maybe an apology directed towards her, and anger directed towards the correct source, might show an iota of maturity on your part. Not holding MY breath for that though...

Haters just see the 0.1% abusing this build at its highest level. The only "abuses" I'm using is buff to ascendancy keystones and tailwind (I didn't even have tailwind boots until yesterday). It's super tanky ala old Jugg but it makes winter orb actually viable. It still takes me a minute or two to down bosses in red maps while I see archmage peeps nearly 1 shotting stuff.

So yes the build is OP. But if they removed the black cane, golems, HH, solstice, etc. bugs, it would be comparable methinks to top tier builds of previous leagues.

Also, this build is the most fun I've had in a while and grinded for more currency than ever for it. Am I bitter, yep. But life goes on and onto the next thing.

as someone who has never had the opportunity to hit 100 (jobs and stuff, i was looking forward to accomplishing that this league, i put in a ton of play time and started totems, after farming up to t16 with FP totems, I saw confirmation that they wouldn't nerf this build, cannibalized my totems char, now ill have nothing... thanks.

Ok, the game its already damaged, dont be stupid, ggg every league nerf all the fun of the game, and want people do what they want, if you see an exploit there, I only see lazy people from ggg dont doing on a correct way their job, I dont care if you believe you are a super pro player or something like that, im not playing that build anyway, but a lot of people sold all their currency (TIME) for getting the stuff, BECAUSE a developer of the game said they DONT GONNA NERF THAT SHIT, so i dont care your opinion, and if you believe you are someone on a stupid game, just GGG fucked the shit this time, and need to start to care more about what them say

Nice copypasta dude(ss) *facepalm*

You are not playing the build AND you do not care about my opinnion - yet you are super invested - speechless

100% its people like the previous commenter that made Blizzard and Bethesda the Shit piles they are today. You have to hold the devs accountable.

They cannot just lie to the player base and then the Fan idiots just back them up because of past good will.

Accountability is #1.

It is not about the binaries such as

fanboys/girls legitimizing GGG's policy to force people selling their family into slavery for a clusterjewel

or

market dominating companies that force the gaming community into playing bad (non-free to play) games because of the communities failure to take a stance

To make "fanboys" (aka people who actually enjoy the game (oh no!)) responsible for that is a really cheap move and only diverts attention from the fact that there are people who do not share the same view, which infuriates you. Instead: "How could they? - Those people must also be responsible for Blizzard fuck ups." (I do not own or bought a single Blizzard game)

I am not saying that your emotions are invalid - but keep in mind that there are countless others that actually enjoy the game - you and your friendlist bubble are a (vocal) fraction of the community. Even if you manage to post 5k reddit posts - does not mean that everybody thinks the way you do.

And to think that "if everybody would think like me Blizzard would not release shitty remakes/games" is astonishingly narcissistic.

That's childish. Because you are bad at the game and poor no one can be rich? I'm starting to understand why people are happy this build was nerfed. They are bad at the game and can't compete.

I'm not happy that the build got nerfed I think that the change mid league is stupid and saying you're not gonna nerf it and then do it is also stupid.
What I found amusing is people complaining about spending money when RMT is very clearly not allowed that's why the game is free to play and not pay to win, it's not about the money but about the rules.
Also if you have to pay to get the currency to play a broken build that trivializes all the content in the game you are not a good player either, if you want to be immortal farm that shit dude, grind it out, don't pay and then complain like a bitch.
