PoE isn't complicated. The difficulty is artificial and comes from RNG. It's a gambling simulator. You gamble with your time [Removed by Support]
Also, because the game is balanced for trade, you obtain upgrades from the trade site and not by playing the game.

To be honest I don't know how a reduction in gear pressure with the socketing change, then leaps to mechanical ease of understanding of the same.
It might help players pick up whatever gear drops, thats true, but it doesn't help them understand what to socket in their skill gems or why. That's still an issue imo. For example if you gave a new player a tabula would they socket it properly with the skills & scaling they are using? Idk I've seen some weird shit lol.
Also the new gem socketing systems still haven't addressed the gem pressure on multiple skill gems in a single piece of gear that we have now. For example, now you could have 3 auras in your gloves all benefiting from an single enlighten support. I have no idea how that type of interaction will work. For what they have shown so far its skill gems that have individual sockets, so the above scenario would require 3 separate aura gems socketed with 3 separate enlightens. That's seems objectively terrible, and your are limited in total skill gems per character.
A lot of the issues you describe here, will be fixed by the upcoming META gems. Another point you're not addressing, is that socketing in gems that do not work with each other, will be impossible. For example, you cannot link Reave to Spell Echo - it wont let you.
Oh, actually leaving that part wasn't intentional lol. I don't recall a META gem interaction discussion.
Did you also have an answer on multiple skill gems working with a single support? Was there discussion on that too?

Not sure if I understand the question here. Elaborate, please.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

Grace, Determination, Malevolence all linked with a single Enlighten for example. Or shield charge, infernal cry, molten shell all linked with a single lifetap. That type of 4-Link setup.
As I understand it, each skill gem will have it's own links in the gem itself, not shared.

It's not artificial, and when people talk about the game's complexity they're not talking about the gamble-like craft system.
And apparently, you're one of those players who think stuff you find in trade comes from a magical place.

Enlighten will be a META gem, where you slot other skills into the Enlighten gem, affecting all socketed gems. This will also let you cast all gems inside the META gem with one button.
Lifetap will probably not be, I think.

If you play 80-100 hours a week you might be right to a degree. D4 isnt trying to be a forever game in terms of player investment. That's actually refreshing. I already have a job.

Ikr?
Some people took their time off work for the rushed release. Quite amusing that the content won't last long even if you have a busy full time job.
But pretty sure blizzard got their money mines all covered with plenty of full paid but minimalistic dlcs and other paid content to keep the money milking going :)
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun. Last edited by Pashid on Jun 1, 2023, 11:40:01 AM
