Buff difficulty of regular content
" You’re mistaken, as both softcore and hardcore have same mobs and values, they’re equal in terms of content difficulty, difference is extra restriction in form of one life. Majority of players hit red maps in first week, I would say 80-90%. When was the last time you leveled new toon? It is absurdaly easy and plenty of people skip early tiers, and then people hit t17 or league mechanics with a lot higher difficulty than previous content. You know why early content is so easy? power creep, that wasn’t adressed for many leagues. So hence this topic, to buff difficulty of old content to be more in line with endgame difficulty, so people gradually experience increasing difficulty instead of hitting t17 like now.

" GGG havn’t done the balance for a long time, don’t remember when was the last big one (expedition maybe?) and power creep accumulated. We all were new players, we all have learned the game when it was a lot harder an more punishing (15% exp penalty, maps scarcity, and I mean real scarcity, not „I dont get multiple t17 from every map”) - new players were fine. This is a lot better experience and will prepare them better for endgame " Sadly this is not true, they hit a wall, expecting things to be equally easy and we have plenty of proof on forum Biggest compliments for my crafted items - "bs, they must have been RMT'ed"

it will prepare them to quit.
anyway, last time time they tried to add difficulty to campaign without adding two difficulty levels for it, they had to stop in the middle cause new players were quitting. but maybe they ll get it some day. dont think so though they love the lame shortcuts like the recipe white weapon + rare belt + whitestone = 50% more damage compared to new players. lolol. those new players so bad lololol Last edited by SerialF on Jul 13, 2024, 11:32:56 AM

" As far as I remember, they stopped improving acts because poe2 become a separate game, not because new players - do you have a link? Such people quit anyway because suddenly content for them is too hard, and all they expected was a bit more customizable diablo4. Casualizing PoE further will make them compete for same audience as d4, and in that category other titles could win, so I think PoE could get more players by staying true to what it was before, a hard ARPG. Games, and entertainment, don’t have to cater to every audience group, else you end up with next avengers movie. Look ad Dark Souls, they’re not cattering to all possible people, but still doing fine, probably wouldn’t if they would follow your advice.

More like stick to what they advertised and sticked to before, a hard ARPG, not another diablo casual level competitor. If you feel excluded, don’t lose hope, it is all about improving our skills.

" Again with the hyperbole. PoE1 has way too many mechanics and features that makes it deeper than Diablo 4 can ever hope to achieve. For PoE to even come close to that level of casual appeal, GGG would have to completely change every fundamental aspect of the game, including outright removing of mechanics. Rebalancing the game to make it appeal to more players who can't make 100+divs a day isn't going to turn it into a Diablo 4-like. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish. | |
" Comparing PoE now and PoE from 3-4 years ago, it is getting near casual level of d4. Not there yet, but heading towards it. 100divs/day? If your goal is to farm multiple mirrors in first two weeks it might be relevant. For a functional build? hell no, even 100 total is more than enough, except if you aim for mageblood for some reason.

" Yeah bro, I'm sure D4 players are looking at the absolute jungle of a skill tree in this game and are going "oh yeah, that's exactly like the skill twig in my game". D4 players are looking at currency orbs and essences going "crafting is sooooo easy". They're looking at the gem system in determining their abilities and going "this just like d4 frfr". And we didn't even cover things like having to put thought into Syndicate board, building a temple, blight tower placement, setting up Heist crew gear, etc. You've never played D4 and it shows if you think PoE is becoming as casual as it.

I actually did, for free on game pass, and they indeed don’t have extra mechanics, or skills, but difficulty level of mobs, bosses - PoE is getting closer. At current rate, in next few leagues, I expect that level 100 could be achieved solo by majority of league players within days of league start, if nothing will be improved.
