Please stop calling players struggling unskilled, it is condescending and unhelpful

I get it, we all do, some of us don't want things to change. Some like games with great challenge or have great skill that only the hardest fights test us. We get bored easy, need something to keep us on our toes. We have some who whine about it as much as much as some complain about the difficulty. As if they take their eyes from the screen, it will suddenly turn into Mr. Rodger's playground. Choo choo

The argument is always that happened to another game I played or heard about, whiners got their way. While whining themselves might I add, rather redundant of them.

This is making it worse, every time someone makes that comment I cringe. Because I know it puts a spark under people who feel insulted, ego bruised. These comments are either trolling or not thought through.

I actually came on here to say thanks to GGG for changes so quick, they may not have solved everything, I wouldn't expect them to, so early. I crash far less and noticed some of the other adjustments. Thankyou GGG, you listen

but seeing all the comments..

Biggest complaint I hear is bosses being stop blocks for progression. A legitimate problem, if improved playtime to practice isn't an option or the math is over their head or physical ability, GGG has to brainstorm ideas to the problem without altering the general fun of the game and no, go play something else is not an option. :) yeah I know what you are thinking.

Maybe we can help with that.

my two pennies to help

First penny -

A message or warning when you get to a checkpoint at a hard fight or after a failure attempt. Suggestions or warning that you might be under level or under powered with a hint on the problem. "Getting some resistances to cold might help", or add humor to the message, "Go find a warmer something you are going to freeze fighting "Bangerhead" dressed as you are" "You need more experience, friends, or better equipment or "Bangerhead" will keep adding your bones to his rug as you are."

just friendly suggestions, they can try anyway, but losing will make them think on the comment. Kind of a need to be this tall to ride this ride comment.
The hints will help without a personal sting of not being GUD to win. It could even comment 99% of players failed this fight on first attempt to add suave to the ego.

You approach the boss you get the hint and say "oh oh I got the hint" and check your gear

Second penny -

We know solid builds help, but it takes web savvy some might not have. what about a build of the month for each class, you can get going to the blue eyed reset dude. A clickable dialog option that brings up a small picture of what the passive tree looks like filled out, they can use for reference. Players could submit builds, and a player can get a reward and glory of that month's monk build. A clickable dialog says something like "Emptygascan12's how to find the path to enlightenment." Maybe one build a month, next month it's warrior, then ranger and so forth. Some unique cosmetics as a reward, like a portal so others know your build was chosen. Badge of honor lol

Bring our content creators out their builds in game maybe, kudos to them

They could be screened for exploits of course



I know these are way out of the box, but they don't change the game, but in a way help with the problem. I am sure others can think around father around this than me.

what can you think of, got a lot of brains out there. at least I hope so

And thanks GGG again for the hard work on the updates, appreciated.
