00:00 - 00:05 | We recently introduced new mechanics many players were worried to try testing |
00:05 - 00:07 | thinking they would be broken or nerfed in the future |
00:07 - 00:10 | So we told them they were safe, enjoy for a league |
00:11 - 00:16 | Make the build, invest. Don't worry, just have fun |
00:17 - 00:21 | And guess what we did just a few days later |
00:21 - 00:24 | We nerfed it |
00:29 - 00:31 | We nerfed it |
00:31 - 00:34 | After so many people invested, time and currency |
00:38 - 00:40 | We nerfed it |
00:41 - 00:47 | So many players gutted their characters, sold all their gear just to buy the equipment |
00:47 - 00:50 | Even some who rely on RMT to pay rent |
00:50 - 00:56 | which we honestly just let slide, are now homeless |
00:58 - 00:59 | Living on the streets |
00:59 - 01:01 | Homeless with no PC |
01:04 - 01:06 | Imagine spending multiple days played |
01:06 - 01:08 | To gear this broken build |
01:13 - 01:14 | We nerfed it |
01:14 - 01:16 | We lied right to their faces |
01:16 - 01:20 | You should've seen it |
01:21 - 01:27 | They looked like a bunch of blizzard fans hearing the announcement for Diablo Immortal |
01:35 - 01:36 | We nerfed it |
01:36 - 01:39 | Even though we said we wouldn't |
01:41 - 01:44 | But seriously, |
01:44 - 01:47 | We thought about the mechanics before anyone even brought it up |
01:47 - 01:49 | We knew we were going to nerf it, we just wanted to see |
01:50 - 01:53 | if they were dumb enough to believe |
01:54 - 01:56 | That we would seriously |
01:56 - 01:58 | allow them to have so much fun |
01:58 - 02:02 | Streamers, top players, new players, we gave them hope |
02:05 - 02:07 | We nerfed it |
02:10 - 02:11 | All the, |
02:11 - 02:13 | all the time wasted |
02:15 - 02:17 | We had one redditor |
02:17 - 02:20 | 13 days played, now sitting on 2c |
02:21 - 02:28 | We had HoA players complaining about their ResidentSleeper builds and our virulence nerf, trying to ruin the surprise |
02:29 - 02:30 | Of the nerf on Purposeful Harbinger? |
02:30 - 02:32 | Yes the nerf on Purposeful Harbinger |
02:36 - 02:39 | They still had no idea it was coming |
02:40 - 02:42 | Might as well call it Purposeful Cuckoldry |
02:50 - 02:55 | I can't believe they thought this whole time they were safe |
02:56 - 02:58 | Do you feel any responsibility? |
02:58 - 03:04 | Responsibility for what? Convincing these players that it was a good idea to abuse these mechanics |
03:04 - 03:09 | Honestly, Corona just kept us from pushing the patch out sooner |
03:09 - 03:11 | No one's been working for weeks |
03:16 - 03:20 | And they thought it would last a league |
03:23 - 03:26 | We're going to nerf it to the ground |
03:31 - 03:36 | waste the entire player bases time and with it destroy the in game economy |
