hello, we read that you actually typed a negative comment instead of just saying "hype". we did not like that, so we removed your comment. heres also a link to rules you didnt really break, but it doesnt matter anyways because we got offended and since we own the game, you can go fuck yourself for all we care

~best regars, ggg



god i hate companies like these but oh well, they unfortunately wont do down because even though they are shit, others are even worse so ggg is the least of the evils my solution is to just play 20 year old single player games

ggg are such a bunch of trash fools and traitors to the gaming spirit they think people will eat their "we nerf gems but will improve items".
which actually means more control for them and disallow casuals to follow decent working builts requiring few items.
Gated content and whales. No bitchin' sure.

Think back of legion league. That was 3.7. In legion, builds were striving to kill Shaper. Last league, an average league starter would decimate Shaper by almost instant-phasing him. Yet they keep nerfing skill gems and the passive tree ever since, except maybe when they improved mana reservation to allow multiple defensive auras. Every single balance change, people cry that the game is now in an unplayable state.

Items creeped the game so immensely that they have to make these changes. An average character is now probably 10 times stronger than it was in 3.7. There's no secret they aim to force you to take original character specialization directions in your tree and have item progression that feels interesting even one month into the league. How are they going to achieve that if your detonate dead build can clear every boss in the game with 3 ex invested?

I really like the part where you are sayin "piece of chris wilson". I didnt push the read in the shitfesto but -MAYBE- Zombies builds could be back, not sure tho, because it's also very possible they definitely nerf and terminate summoners builds in the long run for a much more brighter reason than "balance": Botting issues...

very boring to read the same 2-3 people that haven't touched this game in a long time shit on it because they're too bad to actually finish the content

I heard they're nerfing everything. Did they not learn from their previous nerfing of everything lol? Gl with player base numbers.

Not sure why everyone's main issue seems to be nerfs/balance changes

If anythung, nerfs are required to help change the meta around. If anything, it forces people to try new builds, which can ultimately result in new mechanics/builds/item interactions
In my opinion, it is better to have new builds become meta due to nerfs than it is to have the same builds be the meta for consecutive leagues
This further promotes certain items (uniques and item mods) becoming desired which in turn will facilitate the sale of unused/less popular items

My main issue is that they released information as to which items will become legacy (Melding of the Flesh for instance)
This allows the richer 1% of players to stock up on them and control their prices
I think they were around 10-15ex pre-release of dev manisfesto, and now they are around 55-60ex
Imagine a player was farming and saving up to finally get their own Melding and then overnight they find out it'll become legacy and now costs 6x the original investment

Information about whether or not an item will become legacy should remain undisclosed until the release of the patch where they implement such changes
This prevents any sort of price manipulation and makes it so every single player is affected by the change
