Content Update 3.13.0 -- Path of Exile: Echoes of the Atlas

What happens to the Harvest flowers?

If those are now useless, maybe make it into hideout MTX? Those flowers are well-drawn and I like them to stay in the game.

Wow- you gutted just about all Ascendancies.

No performance related info ? Vulkan now performs horribly compared to when it was introduced. Most ppl went back to DX11

I like these patch notes, but you gotta stop overhyping your statements. 40 skill changes and balances makes it sound bigger than it was. Couldve used the word tweaks and minor changes to make it more appropriate.

did they? low end pc and people with amd cpu wount of had, give double the fps.

Every spectre takes a hit because of one or two types of spectre or even because of one spectre build. That is, instead of checking what makes that build so overpowered.

Every aura same, instead of identifying and removing the unwanted synergies.

See also the mean and petty removal of minion damage, instead of chopping off unwanted synergies.

The unwanted synergies remain but those simply playing without abusing loopholes with hundred-exa gear take the full hit of the changes. That is not good.

I just use the skills, you know? Unhappy as can be.

Seriously, Sirius in maps? What part of I don't want to face him you missed? That guy is unbeatable for me unless awa is 0, It's no fun, you are literally telling me to no fight the Conquerors so I can't get awakening challenges anymore.
And please don't use the free game fallacy, I paid in stashes for this game enough to buy an AAA game, it's no free anymore.

Most of these skill changes just look like +5% / -5%

Multipliers on a skill make or break it but this is a bit on the simple side and why is there still no love for the whole Sand / Blood attacks? Did you guys forget you made those?

Firestorm has that nice initial crunch it should have had.

Hexblast, I dunno this needs another support. It kinda works with Ignite Prolif but pretty sure you guys wanted it to work in other ways as well and it doesn't.

This is a good point. I came back from a break and noticed Vulkan. Instantly turned it on since I usually get a couple frames out of it over DX12 let alone DX11 and it tanks my FPS instead.
