" Let's see the numbers. I'm not hyped until seeing good results. My cat also can speak (in its language of course), but the reality will be known in the league. The drops also have no changes...and can be a problem again. |

" Imagine being able to properly read plain text. :) As in, if you 'just started learning to read' you are not exactly 'an example of literacy' ...

" Precisely. It will be ALL be PoE 2. GGG's great gamble. They've seen what happened to a great many titles - literally scores of big name MMO's - who ended up spoiled by their own sequels. Half your players are too attached to the old game to leave it. Half are bored and desire something new. Rather than attract a new crowd with your sequel, you vivisect the playerbase and both titles underperform. Faced with two bad choices, GGG is opting for plan C. They're going to attempt to drag the old players into the new game. There will be pain, destruction of our time, effort and much badness in this process. I don't envy their position. The playerbase will dwindle away to unsupportable levels without something new. But many players - I can understand this mindset personally - will NEVER abandon their collections and empires to move on. And there is enough of us that, unless they can transmogrify old PoE into PoE II - by force if necessary - their new venture will be underwhelming. But make no mistake - the birth of the new will wreck incredible destruction on the old in the process. I wont sugarcoat this - as I'm not being paid $0.73 per word to conjure feel-good copyrighting and parseltongue - I'm just explaining the situation. There is no good decision. They're rolling dice right now. GGG is gambling they will be hurt less by antagonizing the players continually on the lead-up to PoE II than the injuries they'd sustain by allowing half their players to remain behind in the old game world, or by launching PoE II astride the largest nerf patch in the history of this entire game. We'll see how their gambit works out. Last edited by Sabranic_SilverDeth#2793 on Dec 8, 2022, 10:31:53 PM

" 1: Balance changes of these magnitudes are the result of poor testing and failures in game design. (I am speaking of historic nerfs, not simply this most recent set). When you are making balance swings exceeding 10-15%, that shows glaring flaws in your planning, programming and/or testing regimen. 2: People's time has value. When their work is destroyed, they are correct to be aggravated by that. The blame for that aggravation falls on those who maintain the system, not those who operated under those rules. The poor planning and testing GGG engages in has been a consistent theme well before PoE II was a part of the equation. When you are de-tuning things by drastic percentages, that is not nerfing. It is not play-balancing. It was a failure on the part of the developer. And your players must ultimately pay the price for that. They are correct to be dissatisfied.

" You think you'd be satisfied if they all quit. You wouldn't enjoy the actual fallout very much. |

" Well sir, it's something people will be complaining about getting nerfed in about 3-9 months time. Anyone investing into the new Cleave gem would do well to understand what they're signing up for. Think of cleave as GGG's answer to DAoC's Warlock class. (Obscure, but those few fellow ex-players will absolutely understand the reference). It will, in the end, receive the same treatment. Buyer beware. |

Looks good..

a tree gives vegetables but it has an owner because we live in cities and we buy these vegetables from markets and pay for them..
in old times we could pick vegetables from tree for free but now there are no vegetable trees for free that means you must buy a hh or mb or you can't do anything in that game.. they will nerf your builds if you can |
