Game Balance in Path of Exile: Ultimatum
|
Obviously the main issue with PoE is that it became "economy-based" not "loot-based". Until dropped gear can compete with crafted gear nothing will change and all these nerfs will mean nothing.
And the fun thing these nerfs will affect only average players. Top 1% will still find abusive mechanics to make a huge amount of currency and to craft powerful gear. But this gear will be too rare and too expensive for an average player to be able to afford it. Last edited by tedbear2009#2371 on Apr 13, 2021, 7:00:58 PM

" I think you're setting the bar to high for the casual player. I myself am pretty casual and never have I used/seen those free splitting, fracturing services. I also didn't feel the need to destroy my shavs/impulsa/carcass jack/whatever with those 500 vals per 1ex since it took me some time to even buy that item by farming boring content like prophecies. After trying to buy that 1c item (that nobody even bothers selling), so that I can use it with a 20c prophecy and get some profit to buy those items I really don't feel the need to gamble my build enabling items by vaaling them. Scarabs are not even worth bothering for casual players as buying them is a pain in the ass and non juiced non deli maps don't benefit much from them. Fun fact the 2 leagues where Shavs were the most expensive were the currency shitting leagues (Delirium and Heist). That portrays 1 important thing the higher the currency supply -> the less valuable it is -> the harder it is for casual joe dropping couple c per map to get the build enabling items because they cost more as the currency itself is worth less. Also the wonderfull 0.1% actually substantially (and measurably) decreased the profits that I could make by flooding the market with boss items, by multibox farming the invitations, decreasing their price and thus lowering my profits.

" So, according to this video you need to - have no life and farm 2 days straight - have lucky 3 ex drop at the beginning of mapping - use self-poison broken meta build with sextant mod - spam deli maps for scarabs, splinters and unique cluster jewels 2 last things on the list just got nerfed btw You can also get rich by farming almost any other particular content for 2 whole days(heist, delve, breaches, incursion you name it), but casual players don't do that and don't need that. And what GGG is trying to do is fix these imbalanced builds and mechanics that allow player to farm delirium t16 on garbage gear 2 days in a league.

Most of these nerfs look good cause they focus on stopping the top 1% from making much more money and therefore screwing up the value of certain things. I also don't mind the most meta skills/items getting some nerfs.
I disagree with the defensive nerfs. Any defensive nerf is bad for hardcore. For me this is another reason to never play hardcore. |

"It's All Nerfs!" I love it. Thank you, may I have another?
I seriously can't wait for this league to start. The game's even running well! The artist formerly known as Waitubold. Taking the Lord's name in vain since birth, basically.

It’s easy. Watch all the SSFHC players reach endgame and kill Maven/Sirus/bla-bla with their zDPs build and copy them. You could even practice in standard first then start the league (that’s what Zizaran did last league right?). Don’t rush the game on the first 2/3 weeks, items are 4/5 times more expensive. Take your time, then most items will be a lot cheaper and voila, you finished the league. It’s pretty much what the game is like to me these days. The “top players “ (let’s call them that) will figure everything out for us. Easy peasy, I’ll be drinking cocktails at the beach while they’ll be working for me. Haha. The end. :P

Will all these nerfs decrease lag and decrease cpu/gpu utilization? If not, I won't buy a support pack.
