Take a stance and have some integrity EHG

[Big Iron]

By not fixing an actually broken build based on a bug, you are basically saying you dont care about leaderboards, you dont care about the player economy, and you support RMT.

Do you guys really think that RMT bots are not going to use an immortal build to farm? Its a RMT bots dream to have a build like this in a game.

It significantly disadvantages anyone in MG who isnt playing that build. It also floods the market with high LP uniques and exalts which are dropping in 1500+ corruption with insane increased rarity rates. This is all with almost no investment in a character capable of this. Anyone can roll this toon in a single day.

It makes people in COF who are not playing the build feel dumb for being stuck at 300 corruption when they could just be immortal to get the items they need for their main.

And it puts you guys in the same category as Blizzard, who is leaving broken builds in the game for "Fun" despite most people saying they dont want this.

Even if you fixed the warlock bug it would be S tier top 5 builds in the game. Have some integrity and dont let these things stand. This isnt just an OP build, its not just a unique interaction, its actually broken and harms the game on multiple levels. I cant understand why this is your policy or why you think its acceptable. Is this full release or still beta?

I've heard nothing dumber than today's hotfix and broken skills policy. We still have a bunch of nodes and unique items that don't work. So there are 2 options: play unfairly or just watch for builds that don't work (hello Stygian Coal and Spine of Malatros).

Yep, and this isnt just a case of an OP build. In POE there are builds like this which are mirror tier and require a lot of investment and time to get up and running, but people dont mind because of the time and investment required. Here we have a build you can run with all rares and have working within a few hours of playing.

Agreed. I won't be coming back in the future if they make this decision. What would be the point of playing if I knew my build could be potentially worthless due to some bugged interaction making another build insanely OP?

I'd be sitting there grinding corruption thinking my time is being wasted.

[Warsun]

/agree. Please Fix this EHG.

[Demonik]

Normally I am a very strong EHG supporter, but in this case I think you are absolutely right.

Bugs need to be fixed, this is not fair for the classes who dont have access to these builds, also where is the fun in immortal or infinite dmg builds?

Don't keep the fun for the %1 to ruin it for the 99%.

[Lizzy]

It needs fixing yeh. But tbf Bots won't use it because they will just cheat.

[Koala 4peace]

Funny. Quite some people complain when builds are nerfed. Anyway, since i don't use external pages for builds, meaning i don't know what builds you are talking about, i'll defer to this thread judgement.

Im noob in this type of multiplayer games so i really dont get it, the game doesnt have pvp right? then why are u complaining about a broken character, cant u just dont use it (I honestly dont know about this matter im just asking)

[mrp25]

The easiest thing to do is to solve your own problem by not worrying about your own ego and just play the game. Who cares what other people are doing in a non-competitive environment. They're taking a perfectly healthy and logical approach.

Ok so Im only allowed to complain about balance if the game has PvP ? Nice to know.

The real issue is that theres trade now. If they hadnt implemented trade, it would hardly matter, except for the leaderboards which also does matter to some players as well.

In terms of trade, it benefits RMT botters because an immortal build that requires no investment is a RMT bots ultimate dream. And it hurts players in trade not using this build because they cant compete with the warlocks pushing 2000 corruption and dropping much more gear and more rare gear.

Theres other reasons too, but these are some major ones.

Well here's the thing: I want to play Warlock, but having it broken OP like this really kills the experience and sucks the fun right out of the game for me.

And sure, I could play a weaker version of it, but the fact that I am not allowed to use certain skills and passive to stay "legit" would also irk me.

They're caving in completely to reddit plebs who think "nerfing" anything is always bad, even if it's a literal bug. They need to have a bigger backbone or a backbone at all, the integrity and overall quality of the game is more important than avoiding some heat from selfish plebs who don't deserve to be heard anyway since they don't have the game's best interests in mind and only care about their own little bubble.

Nerf things as soon as needed, fix bugs asap, ignore "feedback" from people who don't want the game to improve.

[DeiGratia]

Balance and bug fixes should be expected on a new release. Its also just going to happen again next cycle so balance should always be a goal. It'll never happen but it doesn't mean don't do it

[wald]

I wouldn't mind if this was still mainly a single player experience like in EA / Beta. But if you want to have leaderboards and an economy in your game you can't let these builds run wild for months.
