“It’s EA, they’re going to make changes”
That’s fine, but they’re selling the game to the public. Everyone calls their games “EA” now, doesn’t mean a thing honestly. Are you trading MONEY for access to your Game? You’re selling a game, the “it’s EA” mantra you repeat to yourself before you fall asleep at night means squat compared to that.
Now, on to the solution, all they have to do is a find a way to occasionally give respecs to characters that were bricked by nerfs - during EA only (as they won’t do big sweeping nerfs like this post launch… right… RIGHT???).
Honestly that leads into the second issue, trust. The way they’ve handled balance changes just a few days into EA leaves a lot to be desired, I’m not sure I’d sink my time into a game until they can convince me they won’t continue behaving this way.
Giving me a Respec doesn't fix anything if they move the entire metagame into 50 different skins for "I self cast a skill to hit for big dam". I have no idea what I would even do with a respec right now because I'm having trouble seeing any other interesting builds that aren't just boring.
I get that allot of people play POE for the zoom or for the loot dopamine or just to watch sprites on their screen turn into different sprites on their screen but I play POE for the complex game design and metagame.

Yea I'm not sure what GGG is trying to accomplish by doing all these nerfs, My Minions are almost dead, Lowered the ignites,res, and ES, Murdered COC and COF builds, so not sure what they want us to play, most builds are dead or not able to get into maps..Games getting kinda boring when you cant do dmg or survive to be honest..
Apparently they want everyone to play a build where they self cast 2 skills to combo for the largest possible hit damage and that is the only build they want in the game. They just want to have 50 different skins for that skill.
I'm pretty heated right now so it's possible i'm being irrational but I don't even care in the slightest about having to respec. It's about what the direction they're moving the game in.

That fact that overpowered skills that automate gameplay get nerfed during what is essentially a beta is not only natural, but expected. We knew this coming in. And this is doubly true of exploit level performing skills. Offering some respect points is a nice idea, but to whom? Everyone? My feeling is that if you make a build which employs one of these one and done builds, expect to see if balanced out and if so, move on.
Certainly no need to whine and moan here about how the latest balance change ruined your life and GGG are monsters. Seriously, this is a game built for gamers by gamers which has been free since its inception and will be again in a matter of months. A game with more depth and variety than just about any other in its genre. A game which has never, not one single time, offered pay to win microtransactions. I played POE-1 for months without spending a penny, finally buying sets and packs because - frankly - GGG deserves support.
I guess I will never understand that level of entitlement, must be a generational thing.
You have literally zero idea what you are talking about and bringing up fox news level talking points to try and refute any criticism.
No, actually, they're pretty on point.

I have no idea what that means man. I've played POE since Beta. I never had a reason to post to this forum. I have no idea what a badge is.
I'm just here to voice my concerns and give feedback in the place dedicated to that.

To be honest, why do we even have respec cost in the current state of the game?
It's "early access" and we all know that there will be changes (for better or worse). Why even bother with locking respec behind a paywall knowing that this is to TEST the game.
I know, people would get used to having no cost to respec and riots would start after 1.0 release cause suddenly you have to grind even more.
Why not introduce some token system or something that could be just added or removed when needed that would allow everyone top respec in situation like this?

Great job just ignoring everything I said. You sound like a D4 Andy and therefore your opinion is worthless.
Also I'm probably as old if not older than you.

I've been playing PoE for years now and I never experienced a morning where I log in and realize that my build is nerfed so badly that I just dont wanna play it anymore. So I agree with the whole philosophy part, this nerf seems super weird and way over the top.
rip my single greater jeweller on cast on freeze...

Brother, they even gutted my normal boring lightning invoker monk build with tempest flurry and charged staff. I generated power charges by using combat frenzy but now that white mobs can't be electrocuted nor frozen, my build is absolutely ruined. My weak piss poor build got drive-by'd because of the cast on crit madness that the nerf was intended for. I spent like 50h getting to lvl 80 and now I can't even play the god damn game
No, they don't gut it, they fix the interaction between herald and infusion. You can get flat cold damage into all your attack skill if you put cold infusion into herald of ice, and likewise with herald of thunder. What you need to do to be able to freeze is to have a proper source of cold damage with tempest flurry and any other lightning-based attack. Either you get a source of flat cold damage, or take "I am the Blizzard" . It will fix your power charge generation.
