Live preparation of 1.2.0 patch notes
What we will never know: who would have been here crying (metaphorically) because GGG nerfed Acuity but kept legacy copies floating in the market. Those who would have complained that Uber Atziri is the big bad and that defeating her should yield at least a chance at the same amazing gear as before. Who would have given GGG shit for trying to balance an item that never should have existed.
What we do know: it would have happened. There were always going to be (metaphorical) tears. What I suspect: there would have been a lot more. But...we'll never know. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable. Looking forward to Ascending in PoE2...someday.

So the major issue still hurting the game is the performance, I have a new mid-high range computer and in full parties in end game maps I still drops to 10 fps.. surely this has to be made a priority at some point..

" " I wonder if our moderators are supposed to be so antagonistic? |

" He is not a forum moderator (the title is a legacy title), and there is always a report button. This message was delivered by GGG defence force.

" Damn good point. And...I'm happy with what I have. Could be less, could be more. It is enough. Like I said, I bring that sentiment to games. I know I'm lucky to do so. I wish more people could, but I understand why they can't. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

" you act like there are only two ways to approach this: either keep them as they are, or create a legacy version. this is false. here are some other things that could have been done: 1) buff vaal pact, and/or move it closer to the CI area 2) buff leech rate in general 3) retroactively nerf all acuities like what happened with CoE 4) add a cap to "instant leech" to reduce it's effectiveness (basically, nerf the mechanic) etc that's AT LEAST four other ways it could have been approached, and i'm sure there are many other ways as well. |

" This was always my no.1 complaint. I was always being told to get a better pc, get an ssd. While I can play FFXIV, Dark Souls 2 or other newer games, I cannot play in a party in POE even on lowest settings. Now I did buy a new pc (nothing hi end but way better than the previous and with SSD too) and will see soon. Probably it will be better but nothing amazing. THeir engine is too old and now they are only milking the cow from existing fans. Instead they should work on a new engine. But they said the plan is for 10 years. So we have at least 7 more years with the same engine. GL with that Last edited by wasabisamurai#4930 on Aug 19, 2014, 10:51:07 AM

" "Guarded by Angry Chickens." Would probably generate piles of angry posts about PoE not being dark and serious enough. |

" No I was simply pointing out 2 other things in path of exile that are broken beyond belief: Chaos Inoculation: Maximum Life becomes 1. Immune to Chaos Damage. This Negates all negatives of energy shield and allows players to go pure energy shield which grants insane amounts of effective health compared to any other alternative. Shavronne's Wrappings - Chaos Damage does not bypass Energy Shield This Negates all negatives of energy shield and allows people to use the life they had to run more auras. But you chose to complain about Atziri's Acuity - Leech applies instantly on Critical Strike Which negates reflect... IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH CRIT CHANCE TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! Seriously, how much crit chance do you actually need for these gloves to be reliable? 50%+? 60%+? How many build/item variants can even reach that much critical chance. |
