Why patch out multiple level up effects?

yeah i was happy with multiple effects please bring this back GGG :C

Stacking level up effects was the best feature added in 0.4. A shame it got patched out, it kept me playing the game because the effect explosion was amazing.

I’m especially worried that this level-up effect limit might later be applied to POE1 as well, since POE1 and POE2 share the same MTX system.

It's not something I ever expected them to change, you've been able to equip all of them at once in poe 1 ever since they existed.

I don't believe it's a performance issue, considering the insanity builds with many projectiles and effects you can have at endgame, something like ten explosions at once everytime you level up is nothing.

I was going to add the new phoenix leveling effect, and ended up unequipping all my other ones, Now I regret buying these boxes, since I thought this would just add to my existing ones.

I really loved leveling up because of these MTX, having several active at the same time (maybe they could limit it to 3 or something?) gave a really amazing explosion, really made it fun to level.

I don't think they will change it for PoE1. It would cause issues.
I paid for a ring with a level up effect. I get a ring with a level up effect.

Then again I paid for a Metamorph tab because the jars were a massive annoyance and now it's Ultimatum which is considerably easier to store. I wouldn't have bought it.

That period where they were trying to sell tabs every league was pretty dirt bag.

It doesn't make sense to patch it out, it was one of the few things keeping my group going forward and leveling up, just so it feels like the 4th of july when we do.

Since the patch I haven't opened or touched my MTX and I still all have my four level-up effects stacked. I will never open that panel during this league again.

Agreed, this was the entire reason I eve bought level up effects and I am really upset by this.

I de-equipped them from my main character and now it is forever ruined, even though its been like this for forever...

Before saying "why did you patched it out?" have you asked yourself if this change was even intentional in the first place though?

I'll double-check the patch notes if it was intended but if it's not in the patch notes you should expect it's an uninteded consequence of something else.

Videogame development is complex and messy and a lot of changes in programming especially can have cascading effects on other features.

It's very likely that some dev did some performance optimization regarding MTX and removed that possibility either knowingly thinking players wouldn't mind or unknowlingly it would have that consequence.

You can just voice your feedback in a non aggressive way and ask if it would be possible to have it back trust me you will have a much higher chance to get what you are asking for than if you bitch about it.

And I'm saying from a place of wanting that as well, I liked stacking 2-3 level-up effects and making cool combinations.

But then again there's a billion things I hate about MTX like the fact that you can't use most of them on multiple characters for no good reason other than frankly silly greed on GGG's end. (Do whales really buy the same MTX a billion times to have it on multiple characters?)
