I have over 70 hours in the game. It took most of that to get to endgame on a single character. The recent changes have fundamentally killed my abilities and made it impossible for me to kill packs of normal monsters in level-appropriate content.

This, combined with the high respec costs and deep investment into gear and skills has completely bricked my character and made it impossible for me to continue the game. Early Access doesn't mean player time doesn't matter, especially when you are charging people.

The game is overall really great and I think the developers have a gem in the making but their design philosophy is flawed and this is not how you test and balance a game. By disrespecting a players investment and not giving them the ability to adapt to the changes you make you set the stage for people to not have faith that any build they create will last and you stifle creativity and experimentation. I work for a living and simply do not have the time to re-roll another character at the drop of a hat, especially with the amount of time it takes to even progress.

I would hold off on purchasing this game and wait until it launches or is free to play. The developers are saying this is their vision but they contradict themselves with actions like this. I have never been upset at a game for nerfs but this is beyond a nerf, its fundamentally changing how builds function without a word before implementing such a major change and not providing a method to recoup any of the players investment or even allow them to start their builds over.

It is simply unacceptable for a paid product.
