Events not having HC, SSF or Ruthless available is against precident and terribly communicated
|
I was exited, non voided leagues? sentinel? LOG FUCKING IN BOYS... and then I noticed some missing words... and a sinking feeling, and "No" when someone asked about HC. My disappointment could have been totally avoided by even semi competent communication.
A couple weeks ago you could have said "we'll be announcing some SOFT CORE TRADE ONLY events... and avoided pissing off your SSF HC and Ruthless (all 13 of us) players. Secondly this is highly counter intuitive and counter to event formats for literally 10+ years! Did you not think maybe "getting out ahead" of this announcement a little might be prudent? Do you not have a single person there who's job it is to anticipate the community? Blizzard being tone deaf and out of touch I understand... But GGG? And finally how about explaining? Why are the mode flags disabled for the first time, arbitrarily and without comment? Testing the Waters for POE2 to not have HC or SSF modes perhaps? Kinda jibes with the 50% XP death penalty...

I don't really play the other modes outside of trade much but I actually wonder why GGG won't host events for those versions of the game? Doesn't seem fair at all if you look at it from an outside perspective
Granted, I can imagine trade leagues hold the vast majority of players, but is it actually 'mechanically' hard to make separate versions of the same event?

events are meant to be just for fun. HC and ruthless are NOT fun. why anyone would want to play short events in ruthless or HC is beyond me. do you really want to keep starting over when you die to some BS mechanic?

" Could argue that is very subjective (Though true I don't play those modes much but could be enjoyable for those who do play them) Not taking a jab at your statement but honestly wondering why not just include versions of those events for all player types?

" What sort of a statement is this you can't just take your own opinion and pretend its the truth for everyone else lol |

" majority play standard mode. GGG already caters to the people who want to feel "special" by giving them those modes,but do they really need to give it for these short events too? each event is 1 week long. do they really need to set up servers for SSF,HC SSF, HC RUTHLESS, SSF ruthless etc |

" Yes? Lol its trivial for them to do so so why not? btw drop the shade most HC players don't give a shit about epeen it isn't to feel special, SSF isn't to feel special and ruthless isn't to feel special its just a preference on ruleset. You may as well say people play SC to feel special the only reason you don't is a majority bias. Last edited by Draegnarrr on Oct 25, 2023, 5:48:15 AM

" why do you speak for "most" players? speak for yourself only. |
