I would be fine with balancing, but in it's current state and brainless nerfing, it's not worth my time. I wanna TEST shit in EA. Gold costs to respec will be "balanced" or regrets added, literally even most nolifers agree the cost is obscene and damn near punitive, so why the fuck would I bother, knowing that shit is coming soon? Happy for you if you enjoy it, just sharing my opinion.

Imagine someone not agreeing with you and being a dick about it.

this game is da best

nope all the bugs have been fixed and game is literally unplayable

Just asking cause I literally don’t know…

By nerfing do you mean they are making skills completely useless and unplayable or just not incredibly overpowered and nuking everything?

Just severe nerfs and extremely expensive respec cost. Cast on xx shit was insanely strong, but the patch made it proc about 10x less (unplayable without major changes, even then mid). There are workaround, which some will get nerfed again I'd imagine (cast on minion death). The thing is, this isn't even like hidden stuff. I was working on a build without looking at guides and shit and it just stopped working bc of a patch. I'm a huge fan of trigger builds from poe and last epoch, as many people are, and so that was the main thing I was looking forward to.

I'm not mad that things get nerfed etc., I'm sure it'll work out in the end, but for the time being, at least for me, there isn't really a reason for ME to invest my time into trying things that could be worthless in an hour and cost me literally days of playtime to respec.

For some people, they'll love this, but it's just not for me. I'll log in every now and then and mess around, but it's a house of cards and again, for me, I don't see the value or pleasure of investing my time atm.

TLDR: The nerfs OR high cost to respec would be fine, but both is just falsely inflating playtime/content, if that makes sense. Fanboys with nothing to do will eat this game up in it's current state as a sense of accomplishment in their otherwise uneventful lives I'm sure.

This isn't "oh we didn't realize" type shit, it's "the community will definitely abuse/hate this, so we can respond like heroes" type of preplanned shit.

This makes sense thank you for the feedback!

I got the early access for “free” because of how much I’ve spent on poe1 since day 1. I’ve enjoyed my time thus far but I’m level 15 and play for maybe 45 mins a day haha

Nice, hope you enjoy! I got it bc of my poe lifetime purchases as well. I'll pop in and out, but won't be invested like I planned to be.

Holy bitter. The game is awesome. Well worth the cost of an extra large pepperoni pizza.

Sounds like you were exactly this person till they nerfed your build and now you're upset about it.
Calling other ppl no-lifer for enjoying something that you enjoyed urself and spent a shitload of time for till it got fixed is really wierd, no?

I for one didnt even plan on playing the game but since I had free early access anyway I took a look and im loving it so far... spending like an hour per day and having a blast.

apart from hideouts, i never liked poe as a game. that whole model of constant meta shifts is very annoying to me and reminds me of turkish tv shows. so its like episode 1, you learn who the main guys are etc etc. but by episode 20 those people act completely differently! the cute flower girl is now a psychopath who poisons the drink of the wealthy heir because he was mean to her in ep.1. hes nice now so you cheer for him. show has 2000 episodes and main cast will change multiple times for random reasons as well, the only way to track the progress of the show is to be aware of the fact that the main guy beard grows from first to last episode..

anyway i hate that shit model. it invalidates any time invested in the characters so i never had the desire to make one. and poe2 is even worse because it purposefully wastes your time even more than poe1 somehow


advice: dont play this unless you are in a prison and computer is all you have. this game is designed to waste your time and maybe its a good idea to wait for that to change. too many people are dissatisfied with this and ggg will cave as usual
