Secondly, the real issue at hand is some reservations are too huge, what this means is (a) if anything, ask the devs to lower them instead of crying to keep an OBVIOUS glitch (you knew it and I knew it and everyone and their mother knew it, was your own risk still running such a build knowing someday it could change) (b) it was never meant for so much % auras to be run simultaneously anyway

tl;dr; Q_Q

tl;dr you have no fucking idea how a OS/HC character is build to work properly in end game content let alone that your reading comprehension is utterly pathetic.

And how would you? Youre probably a person who wants "balance in standard", a league none of the developers should give jackshit about because you can play whatever the hell you want anyway.

I love all the QQ. Wah wah, shit will be harder for a while. Wah wah, my character only works because I sploitz. We all knew this was coming, you chose to build around an exploit. Oh well, adapt or die.

A game balanced around exploits will not be very balanced at all; fixing the exploits will leave room for proper balance to be achieved in their absence.

Edit: I wonder how many people are just butt hurt because they RMTed their Alphas. Hah!

so your example doesnt fit at all

The concept ends up being the same. You gain benefit from something you're not using.

I'm not sure why you exclude weapon swaps, but in Diablo II for example you could use Call to Arms on your weapon swap, buff yourself and use your primary weapons. In Path of Exile there's several skills you can use to snapshot bonuses you don't even have equipped. They let you do the same thing you could do in Diablo II. Equip an item with lots of bonus to all skills, cast the buff or spell, un-equip the bonus to all skills items and you keep the high level buffs as if you still had to bonus to all skill items on.

You can do this in PoE as well as Diablo II.

Example of what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgDWaF_Mdgg&hd=1


This is basically the same thing Alpha Howl did. You get something from something you don't have equipped. This is a really old mechanic though, people did it in Diablo II. I'm confused as to why this hasn't been commented on yet, however Alpha Howl got a change? Feels a bit inconsistent to be honest. One bonus to all skills item gets a change, others don't? This is way older than Alpha Howl.

NICE comeback! Totally no rage and full of facts loooooooooooooooooool ... how dare you defend such an obvious exploit? insane

We need less people like you in this game, and if destroying bugs and exploits means it drives all of you away, then I am more than glad and vouch 100% for it!

Good game GGG, you have effectively ruined a part of your game that was fun.


You know there is a good rule to follow. If it ant broken, don't fix it.

This "bug" opened up a bunch of new and fun builds for us and you are shutting it down.

How about you remove the passive try and just give us a static progression you want us to take since it is clear now you have a set way you want us to play this game.

Honestly Im waiting to see if this gets removed or else Im most likely don't supporting this game.

No reason to argue with a person that thinks Determination is a wasted aura on "casters" since you obviously have no fucking idea how to maximize survivability on said characters.

Let alone that I wished you good luck to fit in another aura like Determination. You come up with it being impossible to buff it on life, something that was never topic of the conversation let alone doubted.

Pretty sure theres a reason youre using different accounts for playing the game and posting on the forums.

I would like to ask about a critical topic (at least for me) - when are the "real" performance fixes going to happen?

The art size reduction is a good first small step, but in my opinion the resource management itself needs a major rewrite / optimization.

Can you share with us the time schedule for resource handling performance revamp? (weeks, months, years...)

They need to add more sparkly weapon effects and pets before they fix Path of Slideshow

And more Twitch integation!

Holy shit, this thread

Also, as late as I am in arrival, my 2c:

Alpha was clearly designed to give up some personal power so you can be an aura wagon for a party. It can still be used for this, its intended purpose.

Big patch is small in content.. for a 3-4 weeks of wait

any Koam shavronne soultaker nerf?
any buff on searing bond?Arc?
any update on Desync fix progression?
any new coding for loot rng?
