1.0.0 Balance Changes

Keep up the amazing work guys! YOU are what the gaming community needs, and deserves! do what you do! and hopefully other companies will look at you and be like "those guys freaking rock... lets follow their style!" again thanks for hte great job Chris and Co.! <3

nice to read this--- more costs on aura? no go i think. 25% on 5l? 5 & 6 links should be rare to the market, you have to become a level where you deserv this.

i played the game some month. invested so much time to build up... some of the notes are still great, but others like that with auras still worse... why so much more aura gems etc? QUNTITY instead of QUALITY?? no higher maps at all? less changes to maps i think, as i hoped.
i hope the game makes also fun after the big release...

i hope you will give us some more droprate on currency :)

btw :

What about Kaoms?

I quitted first time after ob release after few months of desperetaly trying to farm the item 24/7 or currency for it.

I felt so depressed for not being able to play without the most OP item ingame that I quitted.

Another thing I would like to see would be the option to play glasscannon builds without always killing yourself to reflect.

Atleast make some CC curse gems like: fear, paralyze, root, sleet etc. So that if you cant overlook reflect, atleast you have some toys to fool around with spell casters.

Another thing I would like to see you guys rebalance would be Iron Reflexes. It feels almost as mandatory as Kaoms in end game mapping. Maybe some neat theoretical brainstorming with Acrobatics and evasion in general.



best,
Cudez


edit... Maybe Kaoms was fixed already in that - that you can level to 100 without having to map. Now its luxury for people who want to map, and if you dont have it, you can always farm exp at non-map areas... Sounds fine for me... Keep it as such if you want!

Waiting for the pvp news! Brackets? Free pvp respecs before each race? Cross league races with old and new chars?

Shortly, BSes, especially in relation to Purity, which I mainly use for +4% max res, which is usable in every situation.

But, more important questions:

1. About linking changes

Will chance to get 6S as a preliminary step to get 5L remain the same? I have at the moment 1 6S and 2 4S in process of linking and for sure I'm stopping it, but should I also postpone 6Sing my Infernal Mantle?

2. About passives respec

As I understand, respec is "time unlimited"? I have 10 characters and it would be not possible to respec them in short time...

Seeing a post about gameplay changes for the monumental 1.0 patch and seeing this paltry list... so disappointing.

Many players want to kick off their shoes when they get home from work and farm The Docks (or similar areas) for hours without having to think about the difficulty of running Maps or Bosses.

Didn't you forget about something here?

Yesterday i was doing exactly this on Docks in a public party and: One Rogue Exile with RoA appeared and the whole party was dead nearly instantly.

I don't want to say that i don't like the Rogue Exiles. It's just like a Docks instance with a thought Exile is about 3 (or more) times harder than a Docks instance without it.

You should not farm DOcks beeing naked :)
By the way, Exile has been nerfed already.

Never did. And as i said, it wasn't just me. The whole party died quite fast.

4% max res outside of EW / -max res / extra ele dmg maps is absolutely not a musthave, there isnt spikey elemental damage at all, except piety and megaera where you obv use it there too, l2p

grace's evasion rating is nice for evasion builds, but then again evasion blows. In short, if you have a shield, maxing block and getting some spell block is superior to evasion / dodge in every way.

Grace's armor addition, even after determination and some nodes, is pathetic. If they turn it into a % reserve, it will be even less worth it.
