Or have you ever thought that the acts are not interesting at all? There's nothing fun in them, it's the same story and the same grind time after time again. Of course people aren't going to enjoy being in it or the gear since most gear is pretty crap till you can get into maps. [Removed by Support] Agreed! I actually love mapping, crafting and stuff AFTER the stolyline! The Acts are totally boring after 2 or 3 or 10 playing around. Have to do it in every character after already finish the game is mindless af.	Posted by Fhrek#4437 on Jul 19, 2021, 9:59:02 PM Quote this Post
Its crazy how much they killed movement speed lol GGG really wants to slow the game down... I honestly might just use that new rare flask instead of an adrenaline one and go back to investing in CS/AS for lightning wrap/whirling blades like in 2015 now lmao these are some serious nerfs	Posted by Eclaer#6352 on Jul 19, 2021, 10:05:45 PM Quote this Post
Well apparently mods don't like criticism... go ahead and delete this post like the baby you are. It won't change the fact that you're trashing the game. Fucking child. Saved	Posted by 60x7#2399 on Jul 19, 2021, 10:06:41 PM Quote this Post
" As usual, we've buffed Firestorm. It now deals 20% more damage at gem level 20, and its first impact now deals 325% more damage, up from 250% more damage. If this is not an admission of defeat, I don't know what is. Last edited by ZenEnott#0616 on Jul 19, 2021, 10:11:19 PM	Posted by ZenEnott#0616 on Jul 19, 2021, 10:06:49 PM Quote this Post
"Balance" You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. "We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not." - Harvest Manifesto 3/10/2021 So unbelievably inane it has to be memorialized.

I don't remember "the good old days" they're trying to get back to, where simply running through the acts of the game were considered dangerous in and of themselves. I'm also not 12 any longer (actually over 4 times that), so I'm not gifted with amazing reaction time and incredible hand/eye coordination, so even though I've been at it in Standard for quite some time now, I'm not able to even get to the point I think I could fight the end bosses and have a chance to actually WIN... All this before the nerfs. Draw your conclusions on how I feel. Perhaps you should consider having some "legacy" servers or the like, that let you play the patches in the state of the game that you DO want to play. Feel like loading up Harvest? Great, enjoy! Is the Delirium patch the thing? Go for it! People who want to go all the way back to the Breach league? By all means, port your way back in time. Play the way you want! THAT would be much more palatable to me... I could go back to Metamorph, where I started and where I fell in love with the game, not this upcoming Expedition patch that almost certainly will not only prevent me from EVER experiencing the end game, but will probably even prevent me from being able to run T14+ alch-and-go maps... Again do you think the game should be balanced around you? And about boss difficulty, nobody was born good at it now matter how young or old (I'm getting close to 40 myself). You just have to go in there and give it a go. You may fall flat on your ass, but as long as you're not in hardcore you get up and try again. That's how things usually go. If you like the game, have a half decent build and can invest 10 hours a week you should be able to do fine in a new league. The only problem is focusing on what you want, disregarding the content bloat that crept up over the years. You don't have to do everything in game (except maps :P). The problem most players struggle with (including me :) ) is being efficient with your time. If you want pm me and I'll help you gear your char in standard to a decent enough (or more than decent point if you feel the need) so you feel more confident in yourself and try some bosses if you want :)	Posted by hatefield#6584 on Jul 19, 2021, 10:13:34 PM Quote this Post
Please consider opening the 4 day dead zone to a mini-beta. This is where we can play with all the new patch/league changes for those days starting from level 1 but not keep the character on actual league start...or just push those to standard. It would be such a tension release instead of just organizing our stashes for 4 days. PoE-Tetris.	Posted by Tenoruke#5583 on Jul 19, 2021, 10:14:42 PM Quote this Post
