All of my characters that could’ve benefitted from mastery changes are dead :o
I care much more about the patch than I do about the patch notes. If I can only get one notification, I want it to be for the patch.
In the past, when the notes show up, that means I CAN GO DOWNLOAD THE PATCH. With this patch there will be nothing that tells me the patch is available.
This is one area where Grinding Gear is much more professional than Crate. The preliminary patch notes come out a day or two ahead of the patch. Often the release time of the patch is given. A final version of the notes comes shortly before release time. A notice is posted that the patch is release.
It’s time for Crate to grow up a little as a company.
I total agree with you! I want to play the game, not read the patch notes (but still want to read them as the info is very useful!). This way I can read the patch notes while I wait for the patch, so not missing out on playing time once the patch hits!
Thanks Crate!!
The other post though, just goes to show you that you can’t make everyone happy…
I really like all the buffs to boots an another nerf to golemborn greaves. Looks like more will be usable now so everyone isn’t always taking the golemborn greaves…
Looks like a lot of changes (mainly devotions, but some with skills too) might help narrow the massive gap between caster and melee builds too. Obviously haven’t had a chance to test it out yet, but looks the it will be a good first step in the right direction. Probably going to be too difficult to completely close it without some radical changes, but still nice to see there was some effort put forward to help out!
Thanks again!!
BF & TR nerfed again. Night’s Chill nerfed as I expected, one of the best melee skills in the game. I would wager my right hand they will nerf it even more in the future.
Off to playing PoE until this “balance” craze finally ends.
Again, I don’t get what is the deal, when the patch is coming up today :eek:
You might not care about the patch notes, but a lot of people do, especially when they want to know which major changes were made to their gear or skills.
Just be a bit patient really… it’s coming up anytime now.
If the patch was coming out in two or three days I might agree with you, but it is coming out today. You’re taking shots at Crate for something you will not even remember in a month. This is not something to get bent out of shape about.
That’ll show em! Make em’ jealous of PoE having your attention 
TAKE THAT Crate!
Get out patch and DLC ! I want you to take my money :furious:
Exactly. And I’m quite sure I won’t be the only one to do so. 
P.S. When they completely finish the game, there will surely be some “unbalanced” (i.e. good) skills left. I’ll make good use of them, without pesky devs around to spoil my fun. 
If only you could change or modify the skills to suit your playstyle. OH wait.
Implying that the nerfed skills are no longer good :rolleyes: (they are still good).
Some people are just too lazy to adapt. Instead they decide to whine and bitch (but they are never too lazy to do this funny enough).
waaaaahhh waaaahhhh!!! They nerfed two skills that provides great advantages without requiring no skill point investment and nerfed one of the most overused powerful aoes, so now i’ll move to path of exile until ggg nerfs my builds there, then i’ll jump back to grim dawn! Waaaaaahhhh waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!
Gotta love these whiners… although it serves as a way to distinguish who are the good players and who are the bad ones.
Well, to each his own. Enjoy this “balance” carousel as much as you can. I prefer playing finished games. Hopefully even GD will be some day.
ok now seriously. RELEASE the kraken, i can’t wait anymore!!!
Balance is a part of all games, I seriously do not get this mentality. You know what lack of balance results in? Borderlands, which is one of the most unbalanced franchises I’ve ever played and it seriously ruins the fun at higher levels.
Adapt with the changes or make a new character you can exploit.
Thanks Crate, most changes sound like they make a lot of sense
I assume this patch is not going to include item drop rate changes in the base game, as there are none mentioned?
(please don’t make me do the farming runs again:D)
I’m honestly kind of excited to try the new changes. All my characters got buffed and nerfed (burfed?) at the same time.
lol!
From the grim misadventures #100, sounds like item changes are coming in 1.0.0.6… new items and some revised epic sets anyways…no mention of drop rates changing yet…
Even so, from the patchlog it feels like all weapon dmg received a nerf while casters haven’t received much of a buff. Players generally asked for caster buff, not wdps nerf. I understand that wdps and casters are brought closer to each other, but overall power level in comparison to enemies might’ve dropped quite a bit.
