Unlike many I am not disappointed in this patch. To be dissapointed, you need to have had some positive expectations in the first place. I had none and thus no dissapointment.
Actually had a bit of fun with forbidden reach. Whole guild was playing, ducked around with some meta events. This time around the entire guild is unsubbed, the fucking gems are time gated, and there’s absolutely zero content.
Imagine that they timegated the ring for 6 weeks, 1st week when the hype is the most for the new "patch" starts as dogsht and not worth using. Must be Blizzard.
You're looking at it from the perspective of someone able to craft 636 rings. Remember that even being able to run a +10 puts you in the top 10% of players. Think about what the other 90% are doing.
@ that was on my BrM in a +10 CoT that we ++’d in 28 mins haha. So approx like 50.4 million or 38k healing per second while in combat if we account for 3 mins worth of “RP” or running around with no wipes. Super bad if my crap math is accurate.
@@onkek i feel like you underestimate how much 38k hps is when the ring is a bad ilvl still and you only have 1 healing gem, in raid this probably goes up to 120k hps from the ring alone, that is ALOT.
@@fiddlesticks6240 Yeah it's better in raid and HEAVILY INFLAITED ON TANK but like, it's not damage or DR so idgaf. Only other healer using it in Queen clear had it pulling 18.8M/4.5% over all (40% overheal)
TLDL: the ring is currently trash. im totally disappointed but not at all surprised. oh well. also, healing this season is mostly burst healing, so having a little trickle heal here and there is almost completely useless. peak design
They will tune it, think they didnt want another forbidden reach overtuned rings on the get go. I think they will buff it for sure, they wouldnt want that ring to just exist and no one wearing it. Nope
@@gollese they said they want it to compete with next raid tier heroic rings and just get replaced by mythic track rings of season2. so expect huge hotfixes
Yes you have to. Can only skip the very first like 10 minutes of intro quest. If you don’t need the ring, skip doing it on alts till it’s more powerful in a couple of weeks. The catch if you didn’t do anything for a couple of weeks is generous.
I read somewhere that you can also buy the gems you have acquired as warbound until equip and transfer them, I think they were pretty cheap too? Like 50 of the new currency (got around 2k just by doing the quest line and the weekly’s)
Alts can get the ring almost immediately by skipping the quest and you can purchase extra gems on your main and send them over. No need to do content on alts.
I think the patchnotes for the dungeons are wrong. I did a +13 arakara for example and the poison at the boss definitly does more than 10% less damage.
@@thierryfaquet7405 It doesnt matter where you apply the nerf. 2 * 0,9 (10% nerf) * 2 (200% key level scaling) and 2 * 200 * 0,90 both equal 3,6 so it doesnt matter at which point the 10% nerf is applied.
The mastery stat gem SNAPSHOTS your current Mastery. You literally want to press Alchemical Chaos, not get the mastery buff, then hit Tempered Potion and equip the gem. Crazy bug lol
Wait. The thing they have planned to go on for a month and a half to reach full power isn’t immediately gigabusted for players in the highest min/maxed levels of character progression? Next they’re gonna expect me to believe there are players who don’t even do gilded crest content.
I am sure that this time around they released it in a weak state so they can carefully buff it rather than give overpowered state from start which might skew various rankings.
I do not understand why blizzard chose this route again. It was an issue last expansion, they showed they don’t want it op, but also caused it to be weaker for classes that needed the secondary stats more. Either go OP, or don’t do it again.
You've gotta either be capping or somehow simming wrong. Simply unequipping my ring is only a 5.5% loss for me. No way that switching to a ring with 1/3 of the stat budget of a regular one (plus a damage proc) is losing you 22%. The new ring is currently terrible still, ofc.
Atleast you could use the forbidden reach ring week one, this is bad its not even funny. Seriously they need to fire ion like 3 years ago this has his name all over it
@ they are light years ahead in how closely they listen to their community and the speed at which they fix issues. Activision stock prices would double overnight if they inherited both of these capabilities. Instead, they continue to show how off base they are and how disconnected from their community they chose to be.
@@Jadethundertv Lol at the fast adjustments and listening to the community part. Path of Exile fan established 2024. Please see multiple months of Archnemesis, full season of mandatory mods in Necropolis, 3.16 support gem and mana nerfs. POE 1 has a long history of the opposite.
Nerds never satisfied. Maybe stop the go go go attitude of I need bis in first week. Enjoy the process. Wpvp and queue for stuff. Beating all the content in 1 week is your fault. Most of us have lives and like the slower build up. Remember dudes like Yoda are the 10% so chill.

I mean did ANYONE actually think Forbidden Reach 2.0 was going to be anything but disappointing?
Actually had a bit of fun with forbidden reach. Whole guild was playing, ducked around with some meta events. This time around the entire guild is unsubbed, the fucking gems are time gated, and there’s absolutely zero content.
It’s like a quarter of the content Forbidden Reach had. At best. This is a case of „our expectations been low but holy shit“!
Yoda speaks, we listen!

timegating the gems, so bad, imagine not learning from past mistakes.. ever..
All I know is I logged in, flew over to get the quests and immediately saw Khadgar sitting there with "come back in 21 days" and got disgusted.
Yep, this pissed me off too! I wanted to do the questline for him!
Thanks for the info on After Image Yoda
Ran the healing g for the lulz. Was like 8% overall healing with 40% overheal. Legit garbage.
Thats pretty damn good if it did 8% overall?! Depends what you did though, still 8% from a ring is solid. And thats one of them 3.
@ that was on my BrM in a +10 CoT that we ++’d in 28 mins haha. So approx like 50.4 million or 38k healing per second while in combat if we account for 3 mins worth of “RP” or running around with no wipes.

Not alone to think its complete trash first week.
Logged on, did some, ran some m+ logged off
Lol I logged on, did two heroic dungeons and logged off.
Logged on, logged off
didnt even login boys, if you're wanting a good game to sink time into look at poe2, cant recommend enough.
@@ritchy3875Nah, waiting for release. Also the gameplay look insanely slow, and the mobs are moving as in poe 1.
They will buff it. They themselves said they want the ring to be bis.

@@artug92 I'm assuming too long didn't listen
@NatesOP interesting. Normally, people say TLDR. It's a coined term, they still say it even if it's a video lol.
@@artug92 cool story
@artug92 I'm just guessing. I've never seen it before either.
Sims at a loss compared to a 613 and a 610 ring on my alt
lol
Wtf game designers do xD
@Frostgaming335 it would probably be decent as a catch up item if we had access to better gems. Idk why it's time gated
It sims at a loss compared to my 593 ring on my alt... perfffffffffect XD

lol weekly cap. Typical blizzard glass ceiling tactics.
This is pretty sad.
How does the ring work with alts? Do i have to grind the this ring on ever char? Or is there somr war bound bonus
Yes you have to. Can only skip the very first like 10 minutes of intro quest. If you don’t need the ring, skip doing it on alts till it’s more powerful in a couple of weeks. The catch if you didn’t do anything for a couple of weeks is generous.
You just log into your alt, skip the intro and get the ring. Then go kill two rares to get your gems.
I read somewhere that you can also buy the gems you have acquired as warbound until equip and transfer them, I think they were pretty cheap too? Like 50 of the new currency (got around 2k just by doing the quest line and the weekly’s)

no one is gonna use this ring until the other better gems drop next week and the week after.
my sub runs out in 2 days and ive never felt more free
I think the patchnotes for the dungeons are wrong. I did a +13 arakara for example and the poison at the boss definitly does more than 10% less damage.
It’s probably 10% flat on M0, thus a bigger nerf with the key level scaling especially 12+

@@Max-9871 except your math is wrong AF, but you do you. M+ scaling isn't linear, it buff the previous level of key...
WoW keeping that formula to disappoint their players.
yeah I am not resubbing for this
The mastery stat gem SNAPSHOTS your current Mastery. You literally want to press Alchemical Chaos, not get the mastery buff, then hit Tempered Potion and equip the gem. Crazy bug lol
The designers don't know much about actual game play
Considerin impact onyx amulwt had thisnring was let down. They should juat have inlcuded promary ans mastery along witb gems

yeah but morons dont understand that
ring gets buffed on ptr still garbage

This ring, with these gems, is a 22% dps loss over my M+ rings
You've gotta either be capping or somehow simming wrong. Simply unequipping my ring is only a 5.5% loss for me. No way that switching to a ring with 1/3 of the stat budget of a regular one (plus a damage proc) is losing you 22%.
The new ring is currently terrible still, ofc.
A ring being worth 22% DPS?
For me it simmed as a 22k dps loss as is and a 34k dps boost with the right gems for my class
@timmy3211 wasn't simming; I ran a dungeon and noticed a ~400k difference in dmg, when I am usually very consistent.
You cant be serious that you got this ”info” from running a dungeon?
My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.
My 619 champ ring is better then this ring right now.
lol...complete trash. good work blz
Thanks yoda I'm not using the ring
Not only the ring is meh at best, we dont even have access to all the gems... Bc reasons? I guess?
@@LittleXploit need to time gate because engagement metrics for their investor overlords :')

wtf blizzard is doing with this game.
Crafted gear is still unobtainable for anyone not doing toxic shit+ ...
So yeah no. 4-5, dungeons is a fuckton.
Ashes of creation alpha goes live friday btw 😂
That's why we call-it Shitzard, as Blizzard died long time ago.
So happy PoE2 and Marvel Rivals obliterated 2 of Activisions games - Can't wait til Riot Games obliterates their 3rd and puts the nail in the coffin.
POE 2 is two years away from being two years away. Many, many problems with the end game and slot machine crafting, but it will eventually get there.

This ring is TRASH! my god BLIZZ be better! and stop with the Pirate stuff!!
I say stop complain and enjoy the game and the content. It you don't like what they offer stop to pay them and froze is the best way to hit them.
agreed so many cry baby about every thing
@@Psyshe92What should he say instead? The patch has like 1/4 the content the DF filler Forbidden Reach had and the ring is shit.
@@Psyshe92 i mean the ring is pure garbage it give less stats than a 613 ring. but complaining about a game and keep playing it is damn stupid

Finished the full questline, all quests and got my ring with all gems socketed in about 2 hrs. Gg, see you next season.
Umm cap? Only a few sockets are obtainable right now. You tried tho
but with super bad sockets xD
