No, not for you. I agree with you. They nerfed Choir of the Storm mid-league and didn't even put it in the patch notes that they changed the socketable support gems. I was planning to play my Bloodmage until end of season but after the stealth nerf I was so disgusted and bored with the game that I didn't even play rest of .2, and I had multiple 90+ toons. Hit 97 on Lich and was so bored I started experimenting with other builds but got bored with them all.

got it, well mid-league nerfs are very bad and unanecessary unless there's some major issue going on.

If you're referring to Spell Echo changes, well thats in 0.2 patch notes, it didnt changed mid league afaik.... i did notice that with comet coc but it was way before mid league.
is that the nerf you'talking about?

GGG "fixed" spell echo AND considered casting mid-league in .2. This dropped DPS on my Bloodmage by at least 50k. Both SE and CC were not supposed to be working in triggered spells for .2, but GGG made a "mistake" and let both work in CotS for halfway through .2. GGG then nerfed both of these mid-league so that SE & CC couldn't be used with CotS as like a low-grade peusdo-substitute COC BM for the .1 Stormweaver. AKA no fun for you. No worries though, I bought better gear and I removed SE and CC and used lightning warp with Sacred Flame, which was almost as fun. Then I got disgusted that GGG lied and made a few other toons and got bored. Changed my BM to LS bleed build, annihilated everything but got bored quick. Made a poison Pathfinder - was fun for a while but I got bored again. Tried all the other toons in .1 and .2. Really boring after .1 Gemling, Stormweaver and Invoker builds were nerfed but they had to be nerfed. Key point is GGG didn't nerf the .1 OP builds mid-league. Really disheartening when you spend tens of hours making a build only to have it destroyed mid-league with no warning ahead of time. This makes people quit leagues, in addition to all the other problems with the game.

Culminating 1800 hours since its launch in dec, 2024.I also did a leveling of my characters at level 96. During this early access gaming "experience", the XP lost experience stands out awkwardly.

I am convinced of one thing : XP lost on death , especialy on a standard league, has nothing to do with an actual way of creating engament and long time interest. It is all the contrary.

Real demanding and challenging experience require real investiment on each side (smart game design mechanics and greedy, curious gamers and passionating by these mechanics discoveries).

Practicing XP lost as game play mechanics is just a true avowal of gameplay conception weakness. It slains all the endgame experience.

GGG, I give you a shout : Stop to overemphasize XP lost punishment at the expense of smart gameplay mechanics.

A real challenging and demanding endgame, without hiding behind retaliations and punishment as main mechanics inselves.
This is a better involving experience because one thing for sure, a failure itself is sufficient, no need more.

EXP loss is great, you shouldn't be spam dying.

Spam dying ? lol

YOUR assertion is funny great. You shouldn't spank your obsessive misunderstanding ;-)

YOUR way of being wide of the mark is funny and mesmerizing. I thank you for your excellent humour.

Same.
After last season and especially the interviews with the dev : its all the player fault.

Not interested anymore.

Another act of ignorance.
All "nerfs" during the league were made solely because of technical problems, forced changes.
Amulet with zero CD that activated every tick of the server, flame wall that ignite (for cast on ignite) to every tick of the server, cast on freeze, cast on crit and so on. All "nerfs" during the league were due to increased load on the server. This is literally a rework to an adequate working condition. But if the assembly (being broken mechanically) evaporated bosses before, now it does just adequate damage. OH NO NERF, I WILL CRY ABOUT THIS EVERY TIME. What's the lie here? Initially, no leagues were planned at all, but one big annual season with balance changes and technical updates. Plans changed for the sake of the players. The entire league was a working archmage and attribute stacker, no nerfs despite the excessive power. Close your eyes, this is different. We are here to take things out of context and dramatize in order to portray ourselves as the victim and GGG as the villains. How about going and touching some grass? Because for a person who "loves poe 2" you are too obsessed with finding and spreading only negativity
