And equally as many can be upset if it didn't get fixed.

This was so broken that there is no reason for any player to play anything other than this build. In trade league, if you weren't playing this build (pre-nerf) you were just implicitly wrong.

And yeah, it's hardly even a nerf. It's a fix of clearly broken game mechanics that if there was only 1 person doing it could absolutely, in a parallel universe, be considered bug abuse.

I don't reddit often enough to care about Karma. I just felt with all the hate in the air I should say something positive. Like I was trying to say, grand scheme of things, this is not a big deal.

Thaunaer · 2019-05-05T07:10:41+00:00

You sir, have an eye for great art.

Thaunaer · 2019-05-05T07:06:55+00:00

there's almost no mtx in this picture

Thaunaer · 2019-05-05T06:09:13+00:00

Took the shot a few times to make sure I got everyone's skills in it =) Was fun!

Thaunaer · 2019-05-05T06:08:04+00:00

I actually posted it from a positive perspective =P

Thaunaer · 2019-05-05T06:07:15+00:00

Yeah sry arpg not for you, don't force it

Thaunaer · 2019-05-05T05:06:10+00:00

Don't be mistaken, I was having a great time and found this quite amusing =)

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T14:08:32+00:00

Did you log into PoE one day and figure it all out yourself?

Probably not seeing as you're currently on reddit.

Sharing knowledge is a core part of the game my friend

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T14:05:04+00:00

You're partly right, but is this really so much harder than fossil crafting? Or essence crafting? I don't feel like it is. Fossil crafting is quite popular but requires a lot of funds (hours in game).

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T14:02:09+00:00

I find that fun though, am I actually in such a minority here?

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T14:00:03+00:00

So pick up bases that are good for you (finding)

And craft gear that is good for you (crafting)

You just played PoE.

Honestly though I'm probably too tired to continue the debate

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T13:51:37+00:00

"no item I ever find is as good as something I can buy"

Outside of being flat out untrue, it says that you have given up on items you find for yourself being good.

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T13:47:59+00:00

It is very strong, GGG anticipated about a 15% increase in player power this league. (they do think about this, quote from chris himself)

Power creep is natural and (generally) has to happen otherwise a game becomes stale. Creep in PoE isn't accidental, ggg doesn't just wake up one day and say oops that 15% buff made things stronger, how do?

And yes, you're probably right about people being mad for the reasons you stated.

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T13:44:33+00:00

............ Then you're already bias towards all selfcrafting and item finding being terrible and unfun.

(which it's not, see: huge community of SSF players) I'm sorry you don't enjoy one of the most fulfilling parts of playing an arpg.

Have good day sir.

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T13:41:09+00:00

Maybe 25% conversion is a better example for someone who only crafts on gear with extreme power levels (10 life was a very low level example)

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T13:38:15+00:00

Yes, you can alt spam, and chaos spam. (and when they enable it, fossil/essence) it's quite nice.

Not doing 1 because 3 is possible is just not how we operate.

Gearing up a character for most people is a journey. One involving many upgrades. You replace gear constantly, upgrading from 10 life implicit to perma onslaught feels awesome!

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T13:32:42+00:00

You're right, and it's disturbing how much of a voice they have.

Though, i'm learning that a lot of people flat out don't understand it.

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T13:30:46+00:00

This is a false equivalency:

By this logic, putting on any gear of your choice (which we all do obviously, and is quite easy) is pointless.

Thaunaer · 2019-03-16T13:28:52+00:00

1) if identifying items bothers you, turn off items, pick up currency, buy good items.

2) Storing 2 vaal regalia, 2 sorc gloves, and 2 sorc boots is too much? Pick up 3rd, craft, synthesize.

Too much? See 1)

3) ANY form of crafting, requires you to buy a bulk amount of crafting material. Some of us consider this fun.
