Monster density scaling was fine!!!

Just watched the season reveal stream and apparently we're going from maps having less monster density in the beginning to maps having lower monster density period.

Who are all these people complaining about getting overrun by too many monsters? I was already fishing for specific maps with higher density, since some of the maps feel empty as fuck. Now they're making it even worse. How about we just remove all the monsters and replace them with chests people can open to get their loot, then no one will get overrun anymore...

Edit: since this seems to be majorly confusing to people, I should mention the following here. I'm not arguing for keeping monster density AND effectiveness the way it was. By all means make the monsters stronger, by a lot for all I care. But keep the density the way it is at the same time.

100% agree. Lowering monster density is a direct nerf to fun.

40% more loot

Better optimization. Less screen clutter.



Seems like everything people wanted

You're only complaining, because you can't one-shot hordes of trash-mobs anymore.

Zoom-zoom goes bye-bye.

We dont need screens freezing with thousands of monsters made of paper.


We need good combat, less monsters and better loot to compensate the changes. And thats what they did.


POE1 zooming gameplay was fun 10 years ago, and we can still go back in there, but we need something new. I dont want another game where i dash, teleport, and jump like a madman, with minimap open and my screen freezing, while i try to finish my map in 1m30s because my only joy is doing maps per hour and divs per hour

I can agree that IF loot actually drops, i'd rather have fewer, more fun enemies.

case in point - rogue exiles, fighting them is actually fun.


GGG needs to get rid of this nonsensical 500% rarity causing div orb rains and boost loot drops for regular SSF average gamer, not trains of MTX bots.

I'm one of the few people who have argued on this very forum that the game is too easy. So stop making shit up about me wanting "zoom game play". Those two things are not mutually exclusive, we can have strong AND many monsters. The game is after all too easy.

Yeah I have no idea who was complaining about there being a decent amount of mobs.

Huge L change.

Maps (packsize) nerf = no login
those tablets was nerfed during 0.3 patch

Exactly. This is what everyone complained about. Well, we got what we wanted. I'm fine with it as long as it reduced the performance issues I experienced this past league.
