#Everything nerfed to encourage crafted usage and proffing?

I don't really understand why everything has been getting nerfed this hard in rekindled, but recently I've people basically ignoring the nerfs because of crafted items

Is this what the IMs are trying to accomplish with items and making crafteds the only viable way to have strong builds? Do we need to get crafted replacements of the items recently nerfed?

Idk I'm not sure what the point of nerfing so many things this hard is, and I'm sure today's changes won't be the last, and we'll probably be seeing even more nerfs soon

Instead of other things being buffed everything is getting nerfed so it's equally bad, I really don't agree with that design honestly

the same update that made proffing worse by removing the proffing tomes btw.

i rly dont think (or hope) it wasnt the intention to buff proffing (since its even more shit now due the tome removal)

#

i just think those items polly were long due to a nerf and 2.1 was just the best time for it

If we could get some explanations itd be great but it's likely never gonna happen

#

idk why they so allgeric to explanations

#

Dont worry, crafteds will probably get nerfed too

#

Its just harder to balance, since it got a lot more moving parts. Which is why Im assuming they are slow to do it

crafted builds have been the method people used to min max since their release bra

lost zealot
#

But everything has been nerfed, so they just want people to crafted spam now

#

And have regular items not be used

plucky juniper
#

non crafted builds are still very useable bru

We don't have some grand overarching evil plan to force everyone to waste hours or dollars or both proffing to get gear

#

The items needed nerfs, and nerfing ingredients is a lot trickier than nerfing items- that and linny put in so much work for 2.1 that right now is basically breaktime to avoid ing burnout

#

That's it.

#

That's all there really is to say on the matter

#

And I get it,nerfing things sucks, but trying to avoid nerfing things and just incessantly buffing things over and over is a part of how we got into this balance mess in the first place.

#

Only ever buffing things leads to power creep, and I had to spend nearly, and I cannot emphasize this enough,

#

T W O F U C K I N G Y E A R S

#

buffing up mobs to compensate because even with all the nerfs players got this update it wasn't enough to compare to how much power players had been buffed with previously.

#

I really don't wanna have to do that again another few years down the line! I'm not even done yet!

#

So respectfully, we're going to continue nerfing things as needed, and buffing things as needed, because we're doing what we think is best for the health and balance of the game- and yeah, sometimes we'll mess up. That's life. We'll do what we can to fix it after.

#

Please don't act like we have some sinister plot in the background just because we don't feel the need to do a deep dive on the reasonings behind a nerf.

#

It's genuinely disrespectful

#

guys crazy theory but i actually think the eeeevil shadow professions government paid ct to nerf everything except crafteds so they could sell more dernic materials on the trade market

The nerfs aren't even done... But then for the love of God nuke every boss's health that has over a million by 30% cuz WTF, sorry but I don't think the players are here to play dark souls, I didn't see a single raid where the boss fight takes less than 5 minutes dark souls bosses don't take that long

#

Power creep is only related to the people that spend hundreds no thousands of hours on the game that have basically at least have a couple of mythics, and even then unless you minimax a build you're not seeing the three second raids that you guys had a problem with

#

Mythics didn't need a nerf legendaries just needed to be actually good all of them are garbage besides like three weapons, and what happened to the hive weapons? Buff them they suck so bad.
Fabled also suck the new ones are actually kinda neat tho

What is the appropriate range of DMG we should deal and time we should spend in like, raid bosses for example

Those are designed to be a long term grind yes, but with how much we've been getting nerfed bosses are lasting like 10 minutes, and you basically have to gamble the rewards because the system for receiving aspects is frustrating, since you have an almost null chance to get what you actually want

I can understand the power the player previously had was too much, but taking 10-15 minutes in a raid boss for a chest full of legendary aspects that aren't for your class feels frustrating, it'd be less frustrating if it was 5 minutes (like the way current crafted spammers do) but I don't really know how much time we should be spending per raid

The long grind should be getting every aspect maxed, but being able to power up the class you're playing with shouldn't take that long, it's artificially made longer because it'll just throw you items that you don't want

(like the way current crafted spammers do) NO stop bringing them up they are not even 1% of the player base they bellow that ffs stop nerfing the game around them this is stupid

well u will always have tryhards u just live with them

#

welcome this is how it is when servers/games get popular u will always see the ppl that try to minmax and are insanly skilled to boot

#

most ppl will use 1 or 2 crafted to just fill a gap
