Development Manifesto - Game Balance in Path of Exile: Ultimatum - Forum

Nailed it on harvest nerf and all the reworks (Nice bunch of QoL incoming). Reap and petrified blood look good, even if they suck this league, they may come around next league. These nerfs are all GG, except TR imo. It's damage isn't crazy without the elder mod and that is gone for good, so... 9/10. Hyped for 3.14.

if the goal here was to reduce players' play time so that we all go out and get jobs out of boredom then i'd say you've done a wonderful job, RIP the endgame grind.	Posted by Quiksilver_1999#4457 on Apr 13, 2021, 2:05:11 PM Quote this Post
Seems like too much nerf. Where is the nerf to getting randomly one shotted by a mob? You nerf all these skills but no matter how many defensive layers you have there is always that random one shot that kills of your character. Not to mention you introduced random sirius in maps last league. Skipped last league and most likely will skip this league as well. Same old crap and its quite boring now.

Delirium will still be as accessible as it was before. The cost has not changed, the rewards have simply been lowered. They were also too profitable by far and WILL REMAIN VERY PROFITABLE. Again, this is a non-issue. The fun for 90% of players is not affected by any of these changes aside from accessibility to overpowered items. If you need overpowered items to play, you're either playing a bad build and need to optimise or you're not good at playing the game. I can't stress this enough. The nerfs are needed. A diverse meta creates more opportunities for all players and makes build enabling items more accessible. Or maybe overpowered items enabled weak, but fun builds to get to end game? This and harvest hits, are a hit to diversity. Nope. I have made viable builds with every skill I have wanted to play in every league since around bestiary. Creativity and experimentation is required. OP items aren't. My benchmark was to always design my builds without including influenced items and then add them to the build later when it is in the final optimisation stages. OP gear makes you lazy. Hi great to read this. After the amazing buffs to scorching ray last league can you please provide a link to an end game viable scorching ray build?

This manifesto is the best thing i read in a while. If it also said "harvest is deleted from the game" it would have been perfect. I might play this league after all. Good Job.	Posted by JinLee1337#4744 on Apr 13, 2021, 2:23:01 PM Quote this Post

Never played it but I'm sure there's a build out there for ya. Just don't expect your build to be insta-phasing bullshit. Some builds just don't make it to endgame bosses. This is fine. Not all builds are 100% endgame viable. If it clears t16, it's fine.	Posted by Incarcerated#2029 on Apr 13, 2021, 2:25:29 PM Quote this Post
