Then the game will be re balanced in the proper direction(the one its headed in now), not simply adding more to an already broken system.

The direction the game is headed now is an endless grind in Act x areas simply to attempt to be geared enough for the content they're adding in now. In the current state, even with auras, you need a significant investment into defenses simply to survive in late-game maps. With even higher level areas being introduced and new enemies/enemy skills being added, even more will be demanded. The nerf to auras like these directly impact defense/survival, which means you'll be grinding even longer or farming even harder simply to afford what's required to simply experience new content.

This isn't balance where time invested is directly related to reward earned, they more or less reduced it to not having any correlation at all since you're more reliant on RNG now than you were before, and you were pretty damn reliant on RNG before.

Obviously you did not read into what I said much.

If there is any game destroying aspects of this patch then it will be re balanced in future patches, people are acting like this patch is be all end all, as if their physical bodys are being nerfed in real life. GGG is definitely going to release balance patches in the near future.

Again, you're not reading between the lines. You don't release a ground-breaking patch, lose a good portion of your playerbase, and try to fix it later. You take the necessary steps to preserve or expand the playerbase you have now, and make appropriate changes in the future.

This also doesn't explain GGG's ninja-retraction on their previous statements, such as the direct nerf to solo play and making it exceedingly more difficult to simply experience end-game content.

You now can't use an Orb of Fusing on a fully linked item or a Jeweller's Orb on a fully socketed item.

This should have been made possible with a modifier key.

For example, with the last aura changes, I purposely went over 3 4 linked items and changed them to 3 link + 1.


I think you also forgot to mention the fixes to Kole/Brutus/Carnage.
Please tell me you fixed these absolutely broken mobs, they will be the laughingstock of your launch if not.

I'm just gonna add to this, I'm very disappointed.
It is now easier to 4 link, by a lot.

If I want to use a 4 soc item to have 3 linked BM + Skill + Support and an unlinked mana skill/aura, there's a chance I will 4 link the item and fuck it.

There needs to be a modifier key to allow fuses to work on fully linked items.

This GGG, we should be able to change the number of links in items even in fully linked items, it's just part of the game. Due to the random nature of item crafting it could be that we lose valuable items because of this change, this would discourage crafting a lot.

Hell guys, you made this game even harder... you are forcing people into melee without even fixing desync...


Ech, maybe i just had a hard day and don't see a single positive thing in patch notes...

I really don't care about nerfs or buffs, I only play the new HC leagues every x months from zero because I truly like this game. Make new builds, explore the new passive tree, find out what works and what doesn't, fine tune the character for certain areas or bosses, etc..
That being said and I'm sure I'll repeat a lot of other people here, with these changes you need a legacy item wipe/update plain and simple, the gap that will be created between new players and old ones with legacy items will be abyssmal. I don't even want to think about pvp...

a very low chance multiplied by 200 percent is still a very low chance.
very unlucky with those fusings. maybe try some scraps on those gloves before next attempt?

I have been. My last 10% fusing landed me here, and I'm out of Fusings, I've got 1 stack of scraps, 5 jewelers, and <40 Alterations left. Crafting sucks. And I'm probably done with it at this point.

I should just give up, and sit in town trying to keep up with the stupid scroll that is trade spam, and just try and sell stuff. I have good stuff, I can't sell, and I've been doing it wrong, by thinking I had a chance to craft my own gear.



Any Guess as to what my Exalted Roll was?

I just had to do it!


SO EXCITED!!!! HUE HUE HUE

Hey,,

So after putting all but one aura on the same costs can we at least expect that each aura brings close to the same benefit as the other choices of the same type?! Meaning Determination = Grace = Discipline = Vitality when it comes to defense and effective health, Hatred = Wrath = Anger = Haste when it comes to offense ... etc. Otherwise there wouldn't be a real choice but to pick the best ones.

However liked the system before that had flat mana costs for flat auras and percentage costs for percentage auras. I can't see using flat auras to come ahead or close enough to percentage auras besides you overbuffed them like hell. For example Hatred currently buffs my DPS by over 1k while Anger and Wrath just push it by 200 respectively (yeah I know pretty crappy values but my gear is not that great either).

However keep up your great effort and I hope you and your team didn't plan on sleeping before next month :P
