I have read through a lot of shitty patch notes for a lot of games and none has ever made me want to stop playing a game more than this one


Actually sitting here with the same feeling. As a HC player I don't even see this being playable.

In the notes they mentioned they wanted you to feel stronger as you progressed through the game :ph34r:


Yeah but level scaling was only prevalent until you hit WT4. At which point it becomes irrelevant. Nobody at level 85 was having issues with level scaling. So even if you concede level scaling was an issue (it wasn’t and people complaining were being silly imo) this change does absolutely nothing to affect that. It just makes open world content even more worthless.

Case in point of where and when a developer shouldn’t listen to the community.

It’s not like folks were doing much out in the open world anyways… but as someone who actually enjoys the open world conceptually compared to nightmare dungeons that change basically reads as “play Nm dungeons late game or fuk you”. I’m making it a bigger issue than it is undoubtedly, this change was just pointless and dumb.

They fixed the bug with the unintended added damage from Hota.. beyond that, EVERYTHING across the board was hit pretty hard

I completely agree… And then they added 50% chance to get another legendary from NMD and brought up the rare drop at the end to 3 instead of 1! Massive upgrade to the Nightmare Dungeons. There is literally nothing that compares to them now :ph34r:

I didn’t see it in there. It needs a direct nerf. And didn’t see anything about pvp.

Not to mention those new items fking suck


Fixed an issue where the outer edge of the quakes granted to Hammer of the Ancients via The Aspect of Ancestral Echoes was dealing far more damage than intended.

Developer’s Note: We recognize this adjustment is a significant decrease to the Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian build, but we do not want its strength to be reliant on an underlying bug.

It was mentioned right at the start.

The added seasonal content is a copy and paste of D3's legendary gems and huge nerfs.
the structure itself of the game is rotten, everything is to be reviewed, no season will bring you the slightest dopamine spike like a Ber or CoA drop.
Imagine they haven't even fixed the problem of resistances... On the other hand, softcore players will be able to have random teleports with occy.

Looks like you've all been Rod Fergussoned

Yes. On top of all the other nerfs, HOTA was smashed even more:

Code
Developer’s Note: We have seen that skillful players are frequently slaughtering monsters many levels above their own. We want to support this, but the current situation is beyond what we believe is correct for the long-term health of the game. To chase this goal, we're shifting power to many offensive Affixes from defensive Affixes. We know this will make our end game content more deadly, particularly for those chasing our pinnacle boss, an encounter not meant for the faint of heart. Overcoming the pinnacle boss will take every ounce of grit you can muster and all tools at your disposal. We will continue to evaluate feedback from the community and make changes to our combat mechanics.




What exactly does this mean? You get penalized harder than before for being relatively low level?
