What are they getting from the leaderboards? Not even bragging rights because people know that jts bugged and overtuned. So why does it matter?
And whats stopping you from saving time and playing merchants guild? Nothing. You are bitching for nothing.
i love this stance, profane veil might be OP but look at what Diablo did nerfing the fun out of their game in season one and you will know they are doing the right thing! EHG this game is the best, keep doing what you’re doing 
If veil get’s fixed, people can complain that they never had the chance to abuse it and thus get the economic advantage, thus “not being able to catch up” But atleast they get the slight satisfaction of knowing that does who did can’t do so any longer and that EHG “agrees” with them that it was an unfair advantage to begin with. And they can keep on playing wichever class they want knowing that atleas “from no on” its a “fairer” game.
But with the issue gone, time can take over and it will eventually fade into an early-game bug that got fixed… not asap…, but well, better late than never.
If it doesnt get fixed, people will either feel at a disatvantage for the rest of the cycle by playing anything other than warlock, or they feel “forced” having to play warlock… painting the game in an overall bad light when the swarm-consesus shifts towards “there is only one class”.
Pretty much every content creator is gonna have to make a video about how good LE epoche “despite” the classimbalance to catch up with each other adressing the topic, or have to justify constantly why they play anything else than warlock when they do…, or brag about not playing warlock…, or whatever…, in one way or antoher the topic would overshadow the actual game, wich would be sad to see.
Why? i play a beastmaster i dont care what others play in a solo game… want to get on leaderboards play them classes… clearly never played diablo 3 same classes top every season…

The difference was that D4 had a bunch of trash builds and a few that where fun, which then they decided to make trash too.
LE managed to create a ton of fun options right of the gate, but decided to not care about that one option that just dumps on all the other fun ones in performance.
+1 I also agree, fix bugs regardless if it would “nerf” or “buff” something, bugs need to be fixed period.
Still no fix for the game automatically setting all the settings to highest for all players even though it displays ‘lowest’ or whatever graphics setting you had on.
You can tell this hasn’t been fixed since you can have grass disabled and the very next area will have grass and all ultra textures no matter what settings you had.
This is one of the most embarrassing dev messups I’ve ever since in a video game. In fact, it’s the only game I’ve ever seen it in. Literally pathetic tbh. I give a free pass when its the servers, but you are damaging peoples computers with your buggy game and that crosses the line. Grow a pair devs. Small peen energy.
come on… add to the CoF prophecies boss-only drops -.-
This is a PvE game. The vocal minority (most people dont care to come cry on a forum) is simply pathetic here, whining about how others are playing a pve game. Other builds being strong has no impact on how I play the game at all. I’ll either try them because they seem fun or not play them.
There’s no reason to be upset because you’re obsessed with how others are experiencing the game. Just focus on yourself.

These changes are a bit disappointing.
Some of these bugged builds are strong enough to affect the marketplace at least as much as selling keys did.
A bug that causes a build to be 30 percent stronger than expected can wait till the next cycle.
It should still be highlighted as a bug that will be fixed in a future cycle
A bug that causes something to be 50 percent stronger than expected but doesn’t require active exploit should be fixed in cycle. This could be a quick fix that leaves such builds somewhat OP such as a hardcap on ward strength at a very high level.
A bug that greatly increases a builds strength but requires the player to actively exploit the bug should be fixed. Players who actively abused the exploit should be at least temporarily banned.
If you really don’t want to fix badly bugged skills in a cycle, you really need to avoid things like the COF changes in the cycle. You should also announce that certain builds are bugged and will be ignored when balancing content for future cycles.

I think not fixing the Profane Veil bug is a big mistake. It’s one thing not wanting to (massively) nerf things mid cycle, but when it’s something this crazy it should be fixed imo. Not to mention this is a bug fix rather than a nerf.
You’ve nerfed the price of keys because you don’t want people to think they are forced into farming them, so why is it okay for people to farm monoliths with 3-4k corruption while facetanking everything without a care in the world and getting crazy returns by doing so?
I also think this sets a bad precedent going forward, and what is even the point of competitive leaderboards if these obvious bugs aren’t taken care of?

+1 Fix the bugs mid cycle.

+1, Bugs need to be fixed ASAP in situations like this, regardless if it nerfs the build or not. It 100% makes you not want to play other builds, especially if your planning on pushing the Ladder.

Playing busted builds = No challenge = No fun
Playing anything else = Tedious in comparison = Why even bother
Knowing things won’t get fixed for months = Ruins trust and interest
The game’s integrity means everything. This is the time to fix these things. The people know they’re abusing bugs, it’s not like they have the right to feel bad after “working hard” to get far on those once it’s fixed. I feel like these types of decisions will slowly force people to abandon the game for good.
For most the first impression period is still open, real important timing for future defining decisions.
I personally have no interest in “working” on non-op builds I actually enjoy playing knowing this is the official stance.

I find myself checking the forums more often than actually playing; expecting a proper solution from EHG. A bit disappointed…, sooner would’ve been better than never.
Time to use common sense and fix balancing issues which are game breaking bugs.
Most people do not care about leaderboards and even if everyone would care do you think that everyone want to play 1 or two builds every cycle because it will be broken and not fixed foe few months so it would be bad to play any other build? This is not how it supposed to work in game like this. I play only ARPGs for many yeras now and it is first post that I made on any game forum because your idea is so bad.
