T17 maps and modifiers are THE WORST thing that happened to POE

Technically Ubers were the mistake.

T17 is just an attempt to bridge a gap of power disparity that shouldn't exist.

You say that but what if they kept the balance from league start in lake of kalandra where rare monsters had 90 res and everyone was complaining the game was too hard.

Hcssf before t17s and after t17s was ridiculously different if you were interested in killing a few ubers. The game mode was given a wall that is incredibly difficult to climb without making a build that is op.

Is it wrong for a sctrade player to complain about the base difficulty of the game?


They balance the game around sc so im not sure what to say.


The game mode you play doesnt dictate if your opinion matters or not though. And again, softcore is really where the game balance lies. If feedback was to be taken into account, it would be more from that perspective than a hc perspective.

otherwise we would have an insanely difficult game, with very few players.



Further, if someone is going to cherry pick game modes but in the same breath just play guide builds like ephemeral edge splitting steel or ice nova of frost bolts, vfos, mszen, .... lightning strike like 4+ times...

Pretty much every catered build that has multiple layers of safety around it, along with a guide telling them how to play.

Im not sure how much ground that player can stand on telling others whether they can leave feedback on difficulty or not.

Just an odd sort of dichotomy there.


I haven't used a guide for builds since kobe was playing ls berserker. I check poeninja. If you're playing builds and aren't looking for tech on poe ninja you're wasting your time. Unless you are looking at guides i reckon. You neglect the fact that one of my ls zerkers is ci with essentia sanguis. Who did I steal that from?

However when I'm playing hcssf or even hc. If i find build enabling uniques for really strong builds I would be stupid not to play them.

With respect, rolling maps has to be one of the least fun things to do in PoE, especially when you aren't playing a meta build. Surely there's an alternative out there.
@GGG mods. CLOSE RESOLVED THREADS.

T17 are lots of fun. Very few mods are actually, genuinely bad. If your build is decent ~20c should be enough to reroll into something decent.
Agree! only people with ample and ample amounts of time to devote to a video game seem to enjoy it.
