What Happens When the Domination and Nemesis Leagues End?

This all sounds terrific! Have been eagerly awaiting the merge of changes to the parent leagues.

I do hope that there will be PVP in the parent leagues, I hope there is some kind of rule against wearing legacy items or possibly nerfing them down to the stats on droppable gear for the actual PVP.

All in all Very excited for the expansion and new leagues!
GG, GGG

Standard league will be a clusterfuck.

Legacy IIQ gems


Legacy IIQ uniques


Legacy IIQ rares


And with hidden diminishing returns for IIR/IIQ formulas, which have been found by player notice and testing, everything is a big mess that you wonder why you have to get your head around.

And there will be (most likely) another batch of nerfed uniques, soon-to-be-legacy.



Now, it might be ok. game feature. how is this going to look after another 8 months cycle?
We, the player base, will be moaning and whining about what are we quitting over, but is it sane for the game and our play time experience?

See you all in december guys!

"Old mods and items will not be removed or changed for players who currently have them. Powerful legacy items are a feature of the permanent leagues."

Well there you have it folks. Legacy items are here to stay. GGG wants Standard to stay a dumpster league.

Can anyone say insider trading?

1) GGG employee knows in advance that they'll remove/nerf item
2) buy a ton of said item
3) announce removal/nerf
4) sell hoarded items for massive profits

I will love to see how will PoE 1.1.0 compete with smart drops from RoS. PoE has exactly 20 days to convince me to stay and play new HC league before i leave and go to play RoS if drops will sux like in Nemesis :-))

Several days ago I was joking about legacy gems. And now it's reality. OMG.
Very well, GGG, I don't care anymore about balance at standard too :)

Yeah then they'll have so many exalts wow!!!!!


Which then they can maybe if they're lucky and dont get caught can make like, what, 100 bucks off of at most? This is a retarded conspiracy theory.


On top of that, Standard has been a shitleague since Onslaught/Anarchy started, and GGG made it clear then that Std/Hardcore were meant to be dumping grounds.

Enjoy your trifecta items, now with a better chance to be trifecta for your class! Also bound Unique items, what a fucking joke.

So you took one of the worst aspect of the game, undoubtedly a very bad thing and a crystal clear major downside/huge letdown, you magically snap your fingers and you turn into a "feature"?
To me that is undeniable proof of developer incompetence.

What is reasoning behind this IQQ change? You said you were going to do something but we don't know why.

- Are you doing this to nerf mf grinding?
- Do you intend to change overall droprate also or leave it as it is now?
- What will happen to all existing iqq items and gems? Are they going to become legacy?
WTS godly iqq helmet/gloves/boots c/o 100 Exalts?

IMO iqq mod needs to be removed from all existing items (excluding some uniques) giving irr on its place or nothing (if it already has irr). Leaving tons of iqq legacy items would be fatal in the long run as their prices would skyrocket and again, the only people who could afford them would be hardcore grinders/traders. Wealthy ones would buy best iqq legacies and farm as they used to. The rest would struggle to farm 1 chaos recipe per week. Great balance.

You're missing the part where this doesn't matter because they do not care about standard/hardcore economies (as is correct to do). This entire game is focused on the idea of non-permanent things: leagues, races, rerolling characters, etc.

It's the easy way out. If something is too bothersome to fix, declare it a feature. "Just play new leagues if you don't like standard."

There should be a disclaimer warning new players about to start in standard that they are about to play in an unintended game mode then.
