It was confirmed on twitter by Joseph Piepiora that there will be balance changes at day 1. Could we get patchnotes BEFORE release please? My build and class I choose may change because of these changes…
The patch will be downloadable today. The datamine will take a few hours. Then all your third party tools you’re using to take all the fun out of experimenting in game will be updated. Don’t worry. You’ll have time.
Dont worry there wont be balance changes after preload is sent out. All the data mined information will be the changes they will release on day 1 to make it seem like they are doing something.
LUL, all the people who have been theory crafting precise builds are gonna be upset.
There is almost no point making exact builds before the game releases. You should be spending your time learning how damage scales and how mechanics work, not finding the exact build for end game.
They can tweak the game before you even get to end game.
Most likely there will be no mechanical/skill changes, just some numer tweaking, I guess. But as a PoE player, I’m only interested in very-very endgame. so these numbers are kinda important for me.
That still counts as a balance change. Whether people liked it or not. After downloading early for the betas, I received a small download before the game would load on launch. Point is, there can be a patch before the game goes live, on top of the early download. Also hotfixes are a possibility as well. After this early download is complete and dataminers get to the files, people will rage on the changes they don’t like and Blizzard WILL cave to some of the demands. There will be changes before the game goes live.
So the Alpha End Game testing that I physically watched a buddy play a necro on and he got obliterated using minion setup with end game gear for minions. While the sorc, druid, barb, and rouge with same end game gear obliterated the end game content.
I just imagined that right? O and this was before the major nerf to them for the server slam and that little backend fix they did wont help necro in the end game and will be paper, 100% useless.
