No it isnt lol what a dumb thing to think and ask
It will be 1000, but on T4 you will get a -1000 penalty to overcome (so will need 2000 total).

is more than a nerf for Eternal players, they basically delete progress. it is against any sense of aRPGs non-season content, but do tnot expect devs know what is that…

You are missing the main problem of nerfing important stats like AS / CD / CS / lucky hit that need to reach breakpoints for builds to function well. The new 800 lvl items will have the exact same stats for these than the current 925 lvl items, so it is a huge nerf with changing current gear to 540.

No, it’s not arbitrary.
It’s saying someone who just started playing and might only have 540+ items is effectively at the exact same power level as me, for far less work put in.
I’m not trying to discount their play or effort, but someone who has played further should have items adjusted with that in mind.
It’s not the fact that 925 → 540, it’s that 540 through 925 → 540.
I really don’t see why that is hard to understand and hard to see as a reasonable issue for people.

What I want to know is for something like a Fractured Winterglass, when the item level drops to 540, will the unique affix still be a maximum roll at 65%? Will an item level 800 also have a top range of 65% or an even higher range?
IF there is a new breakpoint and the item level 540 can only roll a 50% max but a new item level 800 can roll the original 65% max, will Leusebi/PocketNerd/etc et al consider this to be a nerf an an existing 925 amulet?
They said that 800 items have a higher tier of affix ranges.
Okay I see what you want to say. So everything above item power 540 is comeing down to 540, which is the new maximum normal gear power. But if you have ancestrals with 925 item power, it’s not going to be an ancestral with 800 new max ancestral item power, but it will also be 540 new max normal item power level.
Correct. We are not farming NEW gear . We are farming the SAME gear , again

Higher than the new 750 will be. Not higher than current 925. Look at this picture of the new 800 lvl Azurewrath they showed in their PTR page, it’s the exact same numers we currently have on a 925 lvl Azurewrath.
So the ten people who are in exactly the right spot on their eternal journey to have found some 550 items but not found 925s get buffed to your level? Even if that was the case, those items are probably sacreds that will become legacy items and don’t have 2 tempers on them.

Are you planning on joining the PTR? Because I’m also curious where we’ll stand in comparison now with our old gear. For example can we destroy everything in Torment 2 like we do now in WT4? Do we have to farm better gear just to get to torment 2 from torment 1 which now drops the better gear?
Until I figure that out I’ll refrain from speculations such as these, that’s all I’m saying. Now it very well could be as you say, a level 540 piece of gear on live could have the same stats as your 925 when the patch hits. Or the current 540 could also be stat squished into a lower ilevel. We don’t know.
Sadly I didn’t keep any 540 items on any of my characters going into the PTR. We’ll just have to see when Friday hits and they allow us to play our copied characters.

Ok let’s say it is a nerf. So what? If the entire game is being rebalanced it doesn’t matter what it used to be it only matters what it is now.

Sorry, NOT even the new max normal power level which is 670. We are refarming everything from the equivalent of a current level 50 character level items.
OP is going hysterical speculating on something that hasn’t happened yet and there is no hard data to draw an actual conclusion. It is what it is and there is no reason to freak out…

I agree, an equivalent level Pit (new 100 Pit scaling vs old 200 level scaling) test will tell us very quickly if there is an issue or not.

It’s a direct copy of the PTR notes, not speculation at all.
At no point at all have I gone hysterical. I have at most corrected people who are misunderstanding what I wrote or what it means.
I would suggest learning reading comprehension and reigning in your hyperbole.

OP, I suggest focusing on what other eternal players are commenting on and not what seasonal players think of eternal.
Reading through all the seasonal opinions on eternal loot carryover at some point feels like watching a tired old married couple argue about the merits of keeping the toilet seat up or down. One side simply cannot fathom why thier husband cannot keep pee in the toilet and the other side cannot understand why their wife is upset about all the pee when they can simply reset and wipe up the mess.

I genuinely enjoy your metaphor here it’s quite apt

If all of the % numbers on CDR, resource gen, LH, csc, and other non-damage/defense stats are reduced that will break builds and not feel great. If that’s done to allow the 750 or 800 items to get back to the same numbers we currently have, then yes, it will be a nerf.
I honestly don’t understand why they aren’t making current GA items into the new ancestral items.
