Could just be Axer foaming at the mouth or this could really suck.   The bonuses appear to now be typed the same (Claw and Planar focus).

LOL if I still played I'd be pissed after spending months getting the set.  This is part of the problem no foresight and no vision.  They release these with an untyped buff which was likely unintentional then just fix it by typing it damn the consequences to players.

The problem is Feather the Cunt nerfing stuff he didn't make because he's a petty little bitch.

Do you really think he's doing it out of spite?

I think it's much more likely that the consequences of his changes are part of his "I think I got it right, and that should be good enough" methodology.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

not spite, but vanity.  The whole of U14 made tons of previously good gear meh and invalidated a bunch of people's grind to get it.

Heck it may not even be his call.  I don't think Turbine likes us "lingering" on old content because it still has a few best-in-slot items.

Regarding stupidity versus malice you are right, Feather is dumber than shit.

I concur with the narrow vision that comes with stupidity. No point in being spiteful, when you can reach the same result by sheer idiocy.

People have a choice between new and old. The new is so jacked up, people prefer the old. The only way to move them to the new is to make the old just as jacked up. Which apparently is easier than making the new worthwhile.

I'd rather he tell us some insider info on what FoS is really like - because his external image is one of arrogance, ignorance, and player disdain - whether intended or not.

You might be on to something because it's always the popular items that get nerfed.  This set isn't for every build but for some it's great.  So, of course it should be screwed with...

with all the broke-ass shit in this game, why even mess with legacy item balance?

It's kinda like fucking with the email icon and the little notch cutout in the UI - who the HELL triages what to "fix" in that office?

Why are folks surprised?

Genuine question. They've done it several times lately, and this new guy has had the "Old loot is old, move on" attitude since day 1.

Only difference is now he's moved on to stuff other folks care about, I guess.

Just guessing on this, but it could be a precursor to the next loot pass of post Amrath & epic items.

Standardizing bonus types before changing old epic scroll/seal/shard mechanics to EN/EH/EE drops?

That makes a lot of sense.  I just ran Sins for the first time ever - the unique loot is so outdated now.  I can see why there's so much forum rage over amrath loot pass being needed.

Amrath loot...  you realize there are set bonuses for PREs that don't exist PREs not in the game 3 years after Amrath was released.  Sets from a raid that is deprecated that are obsoleted before their PREs were released .

Maybe they can time an update to coincide with the new enhancement system.

I'm not sure how much Amrath loot is even worth pursing at all anymore.  We have better options in those slots.

But that's okay, it's fine when new shinies come out that are better.

But - what Stainer said.  The new toys aren't that hot so the old ones have to be nerfed.

There are definitely better and easier to acquire  options.

Actually, no i didn't - I always hated the explorer area of shavrath - it is depressing (it actually depresses me), and I wasn't a big fan of Devils; so all I've ever run was New Invasion a handful of times.

I've recently gotten Amrath-curious and started to go see what all the previous fuss was about.  I dug the design of Sins once I ran it, tho.  Wish they'd hire a homeschooler to fix the DM text.  Not to mention the voiceover (TYEF - ling?)

And that has been the fundamental flaw in the cat in the hat's thinking since he started. "set the bonus to the ML" is only a valid design principle if you're still that level by the time you've actually got the damned item.

For the love of fuck, I lost IQ points just feeling the need to point out something that goddamned fundamental.

It was the first new content at the time in like forever.

It was also challenging for the day not to mention really fun.

I think they will probably add +7 stat upgrade tokens to Hard/Elite as well.  +7 Stat/+1 Exceptional Stat/+2 Insightful Stat + Set Bonus would fit in with the power level of the augments.
