I don't like the Arctic Weapon effect at all.

I and many others paid for the open beta supporter pack to have a glowing weapon that are far better looking than the cheaper effects and made it clear to players that you were a supporter.

This new effect has far to much glowing and is not fair on those of us whom paid for the supporter packs. This effect needs it glow effect reduced be to compared with the other "cheaper" effects.

This new effect is an insult to those who showed there support with an supporter pack.
Us supporters should look better than everyone else as we paid for the privilege.

start balancing uniques and skill/support gems instead of adding microtransaction stuff...

Im not very good at game design sadly : ( . So im stuck making skill effects, environment effects and microtransactions.

Well then, let's hire more programmers other than people who work on micro-t's that are available for every single patch.

If they wanted to focus more on coding and produce less visual effects, they could easily hire a VFX guy part-time and another programmer part-time.

Yes, I'm sure the VFX artist is the person doing the balancing instead of the actual design/balance team... /facepalm

I see this answer all the time and it is just bullshit.

Yeah, the VFX guy cannot do coding. But that doesn't mean that the money that pay for the VFX guy couldnt pay for the coding.

I understand why GGG needs to focus on microtransactions since their business model depends on them but please, lets call a spade a spade.

So yeah, they do more microtransactions because they need to pay their costs, not because they couldnt easily shuffle capacities around.

I too am dissappointed by the patches lately. Everytime I read a Twitch section of patch notes I feel a little sad. Dont tell me the people working on Twitch integration couldnt work on game code.
