StrikerTVFang: Finally a level headed and well thought-out content creator. Everyone was jumping so fast to put out reaction content... that they didn't actually give us anything of substance.

emsmonster1954: It's basically the beginning of open Beta again. Just play as you would in a brand new game. Play everything have an open mind read everything and try stuff. As an actual gamer I could not ask for more. I am ecstatic and cannot wait

devildante9: "now grants less"

"no longer does"

"doesn't provide"

"reduced from"

"can no longer"

"has been reduced"

IamROSO: Yeah, it'll be reworked again in the next patch as well. This is how predecessor evolved throughout the years.

d.wolfin152: I call my build "The Hindenburg", it focuses on using a rapid fire gas arrow and auto igniting nearby enemies. It's called the Hindenburg because you are moving so fast that you can be easy to miss something that should have been obvious and end up blowing yourself up.

troubledfromdiscord: I'm pretty happy I played one character through the campaign(s) to endgame and then stepped back, expecting a ton of change.

PepperoniToni29: I took a break a few months ago and I’m excited to try some new things!

JoeSloth23: What I'm afraid of is two things. Wasting time and being forced to go slow. I am not good at firing up POE and doing my own thing. EVERY TIME I try to create my own build I end up hitting a brick wall either before endgame or at the very start of endgame and my build is too crap to go on with. So I'm afraid there are so many changes that I'm basically going to be doing my own thing for a couple weeks until good builds come out that I can follow to be efficient. Which means I will be hitting endgame two weeks behind most players and will miss any chance to make some currency before the bottom falls out...again. My second fear is it seems like they're trying to fundamentally change the game so that average players such as myself cannot fly through maps anymore...which means we'll always be poor in this league's economy. It seems like they want fights to last longer..maps to last longer. Seems like that will suck the fun out of it and it will become more like a slog and a chore to play. I hope I'm completely wrong on both cases but this just seems like they're balancing around high end players and not their average player.

majorasmask5523: I’m sticking with Warrior, too. I’m going for a Shield/Bleed Thorns builds. I really want my “Hug Me” build to work.

kaosklin: I love that they are holding info so when the patch comes everybody is on the same boat, so everybody will have to play and find new builds

DustinHarms: Also, like what you said about the excitement when NO-ONE knows what's good, and it's just the wild west as we all try to figure things out. I love that feeling, and I feel it with this patch.

viledeacon9995: "maybe you have already seen the news"

false. i prefer all my poe2 news to come from Darth.

stapleman007: Table of contents?

More like Furniture Store of contents.

chickenquesadilla8139: My ice invoker monk is pretty worthless now, but it is what it is. Can't get attached to Early Access characters. Looking forward to relearning the game.

Edit: Geez, guys, I'm not salty one bit. I thought that was pretty clear with my comment. I'm pretty excited for a new flavor of fun to discover.

faremir: I love the decision. My only issue as casual player that actually spent some of my vacation to get into it and then just few hours a week... I don't have that kind of time anymore to spend hours and hours and hours figuring out builds. I understand PoE is not targeted at casual gamers with life and work outside but it still kinda saddens me how much I'll miss out on.

shiva5949: Gonna try and start with Blood Amazon, new skillz, new sup gems, new tree, new ascend.

Hashbaz83: Here's the thing. Considering people were one shotting pinnacles in the BETA version of the game. Where did anyone think power creep was going to go from there? They can bring things back up over the course of testing if needed, but if they didn't bring things down massively now, you would be accidentally deleting your save file from being so god damn powerful at release. All this is basically necessary if they want to bring the game up to a place that they like it. It was WAY past what they wanted already.

SlimShady-hk8qp: Anyone mad made the mistake of considering this a completed game instead of one in development. This game will have MANY more big changes before its all said and done. Also given their track record, anything over nerfed will get adjusted. The negative people in the community are insufferable. Its like little kids who werent allowd to get ice cream for dessert a 5th night in a row.

ryanview1: I don’t understand the hate. Do you play games to be overpowered and rip through content. You really enjoy 2 second boss fights? Elden Ring as an example, brings a challenge we all actually want. Nerfs are just challenges we get to overcome. Suck it up gamer, let’s get sweaty.

DoctorWa: The problem with POE2 is you need to one shot the mobs before they one shot you... If they didn't change the mobs damage/actions and only made players weaker it will be a bad...

BetaTestCoin: they said poe2 will be a ruthless poe1, the dark soul of arpg, they are delivering, it might not be for everyone, but difficulty brings value. The game is more popular then poe1 ever was and that speak big.

Ages87: Theres a note in there saying Crossbows now get 2 hander affixs for damage instead of 1 hander ones and they now roll higher base damage. Crossbows on paper seem like they are going to be insane.

tamasegrifb: Warrior new ascendancy with spear!!! that’s the way! looking for it too!!

Cink1973: I don't know how this guy is so entertaining. He speaks like he knows and cares about me, like an old friend.

stryfer1989: I am very happy about this. I heavily dislike being overpowered in a game, because it takes away any satisfaction I feel for beating content. Of course, you shouldn't be so weak that it gets overly frustrating, but that's where the delicate balance comes in. In my opinion, this is a step in the right direction.

stever24: The reason why people focused on ES is because of GGG’s inability to fix armor. And now we’re penalized for using ES without them fixing armor.

They should not have nerfed ES without first fixing armor, especially with the nerfs to player ailment thresholds.
