Announcements - No Balance Manifestos for 3.21 - Here's Why - Forum

once i figured out that 35.4M was a DOT cap due to lazy programming and a lack of updating, i threw in the towel. Good game GGG. it was fun while it lasted.	Posted by fuxxnuts2#3126 on Mar 21, 2023, 9:04:22 PM Quote this Post
Are you still sane exile?	Posted by HolaBola666#4924 on Mar 22, 2023, 2:11:24 PM Quote this Post
This is bad. I always loved Path of exile because I see it as a game where 'Mathematics' meets 'Fantasy'.	Posted by vergil231#5711 on Mar 23, 2023, 7:49:26 PM Quote this Post

Fine. But surprise, only your fault. And you missed to answer my question twice now but you keep to double down on your statement about fiscal year numbers. Why is that? Maybe you are not that grown as you think you are. Certainly there is room to improve your argument skills. I did not try to convince you to change your mind, I was asking about the reasoning behind your argument and how that links to the GGG post not having a manifesto for 3.21. And I asked twice now, btw. But, you know what? After all it does not matter. People like you are not objective, you decided to hate about it for reasons you are not willing to share. And that is fine. I will have fun for both of us in 3.21 :-). Maybe you are hyped when there is a manifesto for 3.22. if you nerf 10 gems out of 30, you automatically buff the other 20!
