It's a mistake to only make big balance changes with PoE1 leagues mentality

No, I don't predict that will happen. I predict the non-vets and non-hardcore players will lose their minds when their builds get deleted (the first time, or even the first and second times). Same way so many people lost their minds when they couldn't beat Geonor, or didn't have full legendary loot by the end of act 1. Or couldn't blow up all the monsters in one shot. They cry about ALL of that.

The vets and the ones that understand EA will NOT. They are already prepared for it. They know regardless of how much time and effort they put in, it can be entirely erased at any moment during this process. Yet they CHOOSE to put in the time and play anyway. They are too mature and too knowledgable to lose their shit over nerfs during a Beta. And many of them make it their mission to find the most busted, broken builds possible and play them to exhaustion....knowing they will no longer exist in a month.

You know Zizaran (pro-Streamer)?

I think it was him, or some other pro-Streamers.

I can list em later perhaps.

But they're all talkin' about it on Stream. Worried. Like Please No.

And...they are not the ones you want to get pissed. Lol. That's all GGG money.

Zero chance....Zizaran has lived through some terrible PoE 1 nerfs. He knows he is playing an EA, where huge huge nerfs are expected.

I 100% believe that if you heard him say anything like that...you are misunderstanding.

I have expressly seen Zizaran videos where he says Spark will be getting nerfed. Among many many other streamers.

You can try /check/verify yourself lol.

That was my interpretation of all the "nerf drama" on Twitch/YT lol.

I remember him and other pro-Streamers saying how they're also worried how GGG handles it all lol.

Some of these are from YT though. Like videos covering "top 10 nerf/buffs" predictions etc.

Maybe those "worries" from above content are focused solely on the "non-vet" community I guess? *shrugs*

Yes you are definitely misunderstanding. There is no "drama". There is no "worry". They are trying to predict what will get nerfed and how. They have different opinions on how much or how little things might need to get nerfed, but there isn't any "drama" among the top streamers and their nerf bingo cards.

Again....these folks have been through this damn near 40 times now.

Eh..this is all theory anyway.

Won't happen in-practice.

Why waste any more time on this lol.*shrugs*
