Character Balance in Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra
|
I will agree with you on the HC league players that play just until one point and are limited to yellow maps, maybe.
But, the acts, I quite enjoy them every 3 months. It takes you 8 hours on average to do, and you get back the feel of the game. For most people it is a 2 month commitment and there is a 1 month pause. The acts is like a re-entering the loop. Also, you are thinking from the point of view of an experienced player. Now try to think from a beginner - casual player. Would you think the same about acts? I have met people on chat that were saying that they do not do the ascendency because they consider them too hard. And not one individual, several. And they were lvl 97 Last edited by askpoe#6648 on Aug 6, 2022, 8:35:55 AM

" Then I first tried acts my thoughts were - oh, they are so long, bad and boring. Actually i quit poe for months after first attempt in act 2 or 3. Then they buffed act 1 - I was like* oh, this garbage is longer now*. Actually, I failed to find even a single act enjoyer in my friend list. No matter how long it takes for them to beat it ( under 4-5 hours or over 8 hours), no matter how experienced they are or how many exalts they farm during league. Everybody from my friend list just HATES acts. Tbh, I would be happy if they add something like paid act skip to a battlepass or whatever, for example, for 20 usd your character gets frozen for 4-8 hours, and after it unfrozes at level 60 with basic gear, would be really amazing 3.13 Was the best league ever! 3.18 Rest in peace my beloved recombinators, I'm gonna miss you...

so now that the thread went down, the operation throw it under the rug begins.. people will forget and the trailer/stream will drop soon.. until the league launch cycle begins...
"Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words. poe2 = ruthless 2.0 = bad. |

" On some part I agree, but I do not think they want to get out money from players like that. The game is good, and they want you, as a player to support the game if it is good. I don't think, I would enjoy a pay to win game - this is what your suggestion would lead at. |

" I dont like pay to win games either - for example, I didnt play diablo immortal. BUT I HATE ACTS I really hate them so much, that I'd prefer P2W elements come to PoE if it frees my from acts.I Practiced them , for example, it took me something like a bit over for 4 hours for my absolution run this league. But that were my worst 4 hours in entire league, even 15000 empty astragali or minus 350 exa from watcher's eyes wasnt that bad as those 4 hours for me... 3.13 Was the best league ever!

" But seriously, what is the problem with the acts? Why you hate them? They are more variate than running maps 24/7. I mean, 5 leagues ago, when everyone was running Burial Chambers non-stop to get doctors, I mean, after 3 hours, I wanted to jump off a window. The acts, for me, I always take it as a challenge, to get faster. I mean, I compare my time with the racers and try to improve. The record for Kitava in act 5 was 1 hour and 2 min or something like that. That being said, I compare my time at the end. It is not even close, but still. It is about getting better at the game.

" Because the are useless garbage? In most cases you end up acts with something like few chaos and fusings? Acts are few hours, there the odds of getting lucky drop is something like 0.00001%? That's my problem, acts are just a total waste of time, nothing else. And a boring and painful one. 3.13 Was the best league ever!

" If you ask me, I don't like acts because it is the same run every time. But I would prefer alternate leveling rather than paying for skip. Like it was in events before new year, delve leveling or heist. Or even how it works in D3, when you can run only certain events through the acts. |

I don't like this character balance GGG manifesto. They dont't address major problems, like for example game is too hard and too time consuming for most casuals. I want relax in game, not be in second and very stressful job. For me difficulty lvl should be in different lvl, separated from streamers and no-lifers. Death penalty should be removed, casual builds like minions and totems should be strengthened, heavily buffed in survivability and dmg. They should be easy affordable too at cost of 2ex not 200ex.
I already lost all hope this will ever happens so I almost not play PoE at all. I also stop spending money for people who focus on elite, and ignoring casuals. GGG is not for me anymore. |
