get rekt you sheeps. You wanna tell me you did not see the nerfs coming? Who do you wanna fool? Yourselves? It was obvious from the get-go, that casting 700 meteors/second with some 5dmg hit sparks was not the intended interaction...How the hell GGG missed this obvious stuff is another question though....

Anyhow: Even though i like the way every1 got nuked, after probably spending all their gold to respec to some broken build or rerolled to a different char mid-campaign, cause they saw some streams: If the state of the balance is not in a great place (massive build-breaking nerfs) - you should just give it 2-3 Weeks of a "grace-period" and either:

- massively decrease the gold costs for respeccing
- remove gold respec costs completely
- each time you make such balance changes: dont be stingy, and just give people (simply every1) the free-full-respec.

It's not gonna break the game. You can revert it after few weeks to the original costs. It's still beta/alpha - you want people to test your balance, no? So let them all gravitate towards the broken things, so you can get a look at them and fix it. Who cares if more ppl are gonna use it for a while if its free - its better for every1 involved.

To every1 else: just ask yourself a question if whatever you're playing is ethical or not. If not - have a backup plan and stop wasting all your gold on gamba. I never had a single issue with gold to respec and i probably did respec like 60+ points already in T10 maps...

And Lastly: over all great job GGG. Keep up the good work and dont bend to the mob of few whiny babies. I believe you'll make the right choices. Remember: the majority of happy players are not vocal on the forums/reddits and just enjoy the game. Don't get the wrong impression that EVERYONE is unhappy. It's really just a tiny minority of meta-sheeps.


Playing in constant fear that anything fun and powerful you find can and will be nerfed sound incredibly boring and anti-fun. Most people just want a better way to experiment if they keep making sweeping changes like this. Also how is your insults at all helpful other than you brown nosing the devs for no reason? You're like the kid up front who reminds the teacher about homework.

After last night, it sounds like I'll be playing PoE 2 alone... Unless...

I know this is Beta/Early Access, but considering it was paid it might be nice to reciprocate to your fans and supporters and let people respec if you gut their builds.

In fact, it would make for a more interesting Beta if we could respec freely, not just in "my build is ruined!" cases. Like whenever, for beta testing purposes.

I noticed some last night suggest that during EA/Beta, the Hooded One could offer respecs for little-to-nothing. This would be a great way to get players to try out more skills and builds.

Knowing these sudden game changing patches could keep happening, but considering the time investment that people have into their characters, this would be a great move if you won't let the players with Sorcs and Cast on X builds get a respec.

It's a far more eloquent solution in a beta to let your testers do just that - test. Test without consequence, it's beta. Test with consequence (and pay money to do it), you could be a bit kinder to your beta testers. The game is so buggy and all we've done is provide feedback to make PoE 2 ready for you to launch and profit off, as any beta. Testers shouldn't be punished in this way, especially if they are charged to test the game for you.

Instead of ever being asked for a respec again for the next months, just let people respec freely as patches come in and try different things. You'll get far more data for your beta!

P.S. It really seems Comet is the main culprit, would disabling Comet in beta instead of totally gutting an entire Class and many other builds have been a better choice? At least those players could have tried another skill.

Me, if I actually want to succeed at all in any given PoE League:

Do you even understand who early access, beta, alpha etc work properly? you release game, you watch players,how they are playing, what they are playing, you gather info, you contact with your audience to tell them what they think that must be done, you listen to their opinions, you make or you dont not make a changes. Are you making game for yourself, or for players? Dont forget, that w/o players support you at the start of poe 1, poe 2 wouldnt even exist today. Listen to the audience
It wasn't a nerf to CoF, it was a brick... You could have started the nerfs to this build in small steps, but you prefered to destroy it. I'm quitting.
They will kill every powerful or fun-to-play build. It looks like their vision is a boring ARPG souls-like.
CoC is still doable https://youtu.be/m_TbAvvGcfA
