if someone wants this game to be more challenging than it is simply run your build on a 1 link, use a worse weapon, dont use a movement skill, dont use rare/unique gear.

That will never work, ever. It's not justified. You could say that for any game, dark souls too easy? Run it with a rusted sword and no armor lol. Point is, literally one guy will like it and 99.99999% wont.


thats because people dont actually want it to be more challenging, if you honestly want it more challenging you will do things to make it more challenging. as an actual point go look up nuzelocke for pokemon games, if fans want a harder game THEY WILL MAKE IT HARDER.


This. Exactly this. As someone who loves playing pokemon nuzlockes and doing randomized dark souls runs, they can make the game so much more fun. Poe is entirely different, the more difficult, the more grind, which means the longer it takes to complete the atlas/ achieve any goal. I would love a world where I can achieve endgame multiple times on different characters, without the grind and burnout. The way it is now is I get burnout after 2 weeks due to finally getting to the end of the atlas, only to be bored to shit.
well, it starts to smell really bad when top-managment "philosophy" is going over actual players feedback.

The main thing that poe is the most fast-paced ARPG for today. And i can assume that is what community is loving.

Trying to push your build to the point where it can zoom zoom content, then to push even further for deleting endgame bosses. And I really enjoying destroying big packs of mobs with a speed of light and trying to make my build godlike. That`s why i play poe.

There is bunch of good ARPG`s on market, but nothing compared to POE. For example I tried last epoch, it`s solid game but i dropped it in a week because it was to slow for me.

And who complained at all that poe expirience lack of complexity (except maybe those who abuse aurobot party play, that wasnt nerfed btw)?

Something changed? Time to rage.
I love how much love trap is getting, which is the only good news because that means a lot orf players will play them which in turn mean cheaper item for the rest of us.

May I stress it is the Only goo thing in this, we don't really care what you think or how you think the game should be, most player want zoomzoom, okay?

ETC

So these are your global Steam players stats related to POE major achievements.
So you're telling me a game that has 1.4% all maps completion and 6.2% level 90 out of the entire player base is in dire need of continous nerfs and such an agressive attitude towards the 'power creep' that you feel you're seeing? How is this not delusional?
I used to be very much inlove with the game and have supported you guys for giving us something I could play and enjoy, but you're taking this so off the charts it's scary.
Stop it. Please. This is getting ridiculous. Your game is not gonna die if you let people enjoy it. It is A VIDEO GAME, that's the point!
The places you're getting your info from is so wrong it's so mesmerizing for those of us that actually play this for more than 10 hours/ month.

If this has turned into 'it's my philosophy before everything else' and it stopped being about the players, let us know so we can have our leave, no matter how many hearts it breaks.


Nothing better than hard facts... this is a "free to play" whale game!
i'm mainly sad about the fortify nerf, but i guess we will work around it.
3 important nerfs on PoE 1- Dash skills getting guttered 2- Fortify NERFED to dead 3- Aisling veiled mode GONE

But i was expecting way more crazy nerfs soo i'm happy the gas a little easy this last 3 leagues.

Now just hoping to see the passive and the rest of the mods
No Boss monster HP buffs?
I thought this comes together with the support damage nerfs.
