"Aren't they 10 times bigger than GGG" Exactly. The larger a thing gets the more inertia it has, this is true for real objects, projects and companies.

[@mustangmanx]

Its called passion. GGG has it, Activision Blizzard does not. The old long gone Blizzard North that made D1/2 had it and actually inspired GGG. You can see/feel/hear the passion everytime a dev from GGG speaks vs the shallow empty fireside chats for the other "Diablo like" game. Its also absolutely hilarious how the micro transactions are less intrusive on the F2P game (you never see them) vs the 70$+ with 40$ expansion diablo like game.

The extra elemental resistance hits at t6 and t11 really had me scratching my head. It wasn't really explained anywhere that your resistances were going down, unless you opened your character page in a map. At least during the campaign it would flash on the bottom of the screen when you entered a new act.

[@sujimayne]

I have a feeling this was a late addition as they were afraid of players being too defensively powerful.

[@AceStrife]

..I never even noticed any message during the campaign. Just noticed in act 2 I had -10% resist for some reason, and assumed that's how they were doing it for now.

The chain freeze nerf should mainly affect cold Monk bossing, yes? For trash and most rares, they die in a single freeze. I think I'm reading that right, this doesn't prevent getting a lot of freezes on multiple mobs, just reduces repeat freezes on a single mob.

[@Thorgrimn]

The lowered honor damage when in melee range is actually a simple, brilliant idea. The purple flower damage I witnessed several time lol and it actually made me run away when I saw it so yeah it was OP along with death on explosions. The lowered shock and freeze levels were needed but I like the way they addressed freeze where it applies the same unless its the 2nd freeze on the same mob. Enjoy your holidays and awesome job and thank you for listening and acting so fast!

[@th3orist]

My guess is the game will overall become a bit easier or more accessible with each patch until 1.0. The very first version of the early access was the most punishing and then they take it from there. Which is a good thing.

[@foulXD]

Yep, the campaign should ease new players AND even poe veterans into the new systems and playstyle. The maps is the actual meat of the game, obviously.

[@Fleebuss]

Would love to hear your thoughts while reading the patch notes cause damn i could of just read everything myself 😅

[@MadsFeierskov]

It addresses a lot of the stuff people are complaining about. The trials, the purple explosions, the one shot kills in the endgame etc. I don't mind that they nerf over performing stuff at all. It's the sort of thing they need to do in the EA, before the game launches.

Change to chaos damage in the endgame was soooo needed. Thanks.

[@briane75]

I love the electrocute change. Lightning monk felt significantly worse because while pretty much all ice skills can freeze baseline, the lightning equivalent CC was pretty hard to find ways to apply. None of the monk skills have the ailment by default, and the electrocute support cut damage by a whopping 40% and was unusable. I tried using electrocuting arrow, but it was only really useful on single targets like rare elites or bosses. The reason this matters at all mostly is that it will give lightning monks (in theory) the same easy access to power charges through Combat Frenzy and the Resonance node that Ice Strike monks currently enjoy and give them more CC to make clearing safer.

[@DictatorJayy]

The respec cost reduction is the real winner here. Just wished they would have made it 0 for EA testing purposes. Better than nothing though.

[@douglasmurdoch7247]

Early access has to test the game they’re actually making. Free respecs wouldn’t fulfill that role. And also, they can’t give something like that and then take it away.

Yeah, if I screw up, I deserve the consequence. But damn, Sekhmas is just a straight up miserable experience. Get to boss, get one shot, 30 minutes down the drain. Ouch.... Hopefully this honor change helps with the suitability. If I take too many hits, i deserve to lose. Keep up the good work GGG

[@drawkcab4103]

Really hope they prioritize fixing the constant crashes for some people, otherwise the game is amazing.

[@DillonMeyer]

A lot of great things changed here. One thing that wasn't changed is how Blasphemy, a persistent skill that converts Curses into an aura, isn't working with support gems. It currently doesn't allow curses to benefit from support gem effects as you need to directly slot the curse into the support gem slots. In a perfect world, slotting a curse into blasphemy wouldn't remove the gem from the list of equipped skill gems, meaning it could still independantly be given support gems while still functioning as an aura. To do this they'd probably have to make it so instead of slotting a curse into Blasphemy itself, it instead affects all curse gems you have equipped, and for it to work you need 60 spirit x the number of equipped curses. This would remove the ability to normal cast a curse while Blasphemy is active, but allow it while Blasphemy is disabled, creating a more active playstyle if you wanted to do both.

[@mgee9130]

Dam I was hoping they would just remove the honour system to make the trials more fun😒

[@Jdiroe]

They need to increase the exalted and regal orb drop rate.

[@mashinev3902]

😂😂😂

[@atomic3325]

They already increased it and while I am getting a few more than before, its not really enough to try crafting things with any kind of frequency. Why use 3 exalts to gamble when you can easily use those three to trade for something already perfect or near perfect? This only becomes prohibitively expensive in late game when trading for items takes way more exalts when crafting your own items becomes viable from a cost benefit perspective. They are far too valuable as currency. I think it might be better to make regals add more than one line to take away some of the value from exalts. Maybe a few more alchemy or or divine orbs to give some other options.

[@JordaanM]

It's currently at a point in trade league where there's no point spending exalts on crafting until very late game. If I'm in the campaign, and I have 9 exalts, I can either attempt to craft 3 items, and probably waste most of them, or I can buy 3 top-tier items from the trade site. It's odd too, because they said their goal was for players to be crafting throughout the campaign, which would mean at least a dozen regals per act. I don't know anyone getting even close to that.

[@GotHimToReadThis]

dumb, theres too muvh exalts

[@BADiesel]

@@JordaanMexactly what I was thinking lol, some really good items are cheap on trade site for early/midgame… but trying to craft your own stuff is impossible and will take a lot of exalts and chaos… combine that with zero deterministic crafting makes crafting an only endgame thing… I wish we had PoE 1 crafting where I can reroll bases or essence slam a guaranteed stat

They still need to up currency drops or they need to add orbs of alteration back to the game. I’ve played through acts 1-2 cruel today and had 1 regal/0 exalts drop. There’s no way to reliably improve my gear to deal with the harder content. Even if I get a good piece of gear from the vendor, I can’t do shit with it because I have no currency. And if I do have currency, it’s usually 1 or 2 exalts and there’s a 50/50 chance the item gets bricked anyways. Crafting is inferior to PoE 1, which is crazy.

[@tamron6014]

just trade? i got 4 and my friend 5 exalts dropped today in act 1 cruel up to this +spirit waypoint...f** something. i had to few on normal but now on cruel orbs are dropping for me :)

[@soshspotgames4380]

but why would you waste your exalts on rng crafting when you can just buy a banger upgrade from trade for that 1 exalt? we can be salty that crafting doesn't feel great, and i'm with you on that for sure. but this is the system they've gone with and so long as the system is entirely rng during the campaign, just use your currency to get a guaranteed upgrade on trade.

[@zlatantherogue549]

​@@soshspotgames4380 probably SSF

[@bukakabarabaka]

​@@zlatantherogue549well if you want to handicap yourself...good luck.

[@chiefinasmith]

@ you shouldn’t have to just trade. I enjoy crafting gear. GGG said they wanted us to craft during the campaign acts, yet remove orbs of alt and make crafting even more RNG than it was in PoE 1

[@tommyvercetti4687]

wait, did all this changes already happened or will be happen?

[@adiddevil]

Will happen after new year

[@Zeuligan]

I just started PoE2 and currently working on your Invoker Monk. Any reason for me not to continue with the build as it currently is?

[@noktra]

I bet "slight decrease in the number of arsonists" means at least 30%

[@12deathguard]

In the "early access" redoing passive nodes should be free or very cheap. We're suppose to see this as a beta type of situation so making testing builds harder seems counterintuitive.

[@felygu9268]

Exactly this!

[@kitsand]

Nerf to electrocute and freeze 😢 GGG wants us to either one shot the mobs or the mobs one shot us. Can't tank nor CC.

[@ausikc3530]

Right? electrocute already takes forever to build up so that makes no sense and i think the freeze nerf kills my monk. I've yet to even hit end game because they keep killing my shit lol

[@hectorhextor2741]

This patch is exciting for warrior players it was impossible for me to do trials I get hit one time by a trap or mob up close and basically your run was over lol ...more damage on rolling slam and more aftershocks sound exiting..glad I started my character over

[@Kornilios21]

When is this patch going live?

[@Luke973T]

That's my question too

[@Pandaxtor]

Either this week or 2025

[@user-ws9di5kp9h]

So Monday is patch day huh?

[@tjsturgess5475]

iv stopped playing for a number of days, the end game and trials are not fun. does anyone know when this patch is going live?

[@krabby3298]

is this patch live now? i had a 800mb update.

[@WreckSpecks]

What level should I be attempting my ascendancy? Tried it yesterday and got to the boss fight and was doing almost no damage. Ran out of honor before I could even get him down to half HP

[@danielelia2256]

The first one? Depends on your gems and weapon, to be safe at least 24-25

[@Sub4Anub]

I did 1st and second by lvl 40

[@adiddevil]

60

[@Sub4Anub]

@adiddevil 60 is wild lmao

[@4b0d3]

when will it be live though?

[@6mechreb6]

the cast on freeze build its still shyt right ? i thought they would roll back that nerf but they are sticking to it

[@katipaulo]

Good morning rax... im making the build minions infernalist... i cant find the abyliti Raging Spirits...

[@felygu9268]

They do not go far enough with the respeccing. It is still way too expensive to be able to experiment more with the passive skills. It should be basically nearly free in low levels, and start to cost as much as they stated in the patch notes, as you approach the endgame.

[@paulblyatmallcop4914]

Starting to think the devs watch this channel so they know what to nerf next…

[@mikeawk4472]

So the monk still good ?

[@jdawglmao]

Thank you, but I can read as well.

[@megsan5805]

When will the update be live?

[@LakerTriangle]

Still no fix for the x3d crashing.

[@peterrusty8344]

Thank you for reading for us. :)

[@PABLOSGHOST]

Levelling absolutely sucks in this game imo takes forever, played every day for hours , only level 44 warrior , only in act 3

[@Sub4Anub]

Then you're doing something wrong my dude. I've got 2 characters at lvl 55 and 58

[@staskozak8118]

completely cleaned without rushing in 40h. Third Act is too long tho.

[@bukakabarabaka]

I was same, but in cruel i ended all acts in 8 hrs or less.

[@sm-jj2wp]

Crazy how they aren't going to address the computer freezing a majority of players are getting from multithread and cpu multicore issues.

[@jarvik79]

Nowhere in these notes does it say they aren't going to look into it

[@sm-jj2wp]

@@jarvik79 Solid response.

[@mandiebox7945]

I'm playing an arsonist witch right now leveling in act 2, can anyone say what % of just how much harder it will be after these nerfs? I am having so much fun with the build; I really don't want it to feel awful.

[@jamesgamblin3488]

Rax, thank you. Your very entertaining commentary and insight is so very much appreciated. Keep up the good work, my friend. You're absolutely amazing, thank you. =)
