PoE is stacked against the solo player

Guys your sub discussion is getting out of hand, what are the points you're trying to make?

How would you try to increase difficulty for group players?

That's actualy not hard. Imagine an increased buff/Aura cost in groups so the players only can use less of these, which should not be an big disadvantage in groups actualy. Each player in group adds +X to aura/buff costs.
At the other side, lower the current Aura/buff costs for solo players so they can have more of these.

I can imagine for example that current "60%" Auras only cost 40% mana for solo players and with +5 players and each adds +5% costs, these aura would cost 65% then in a full 6 people party.

So some lads moving where they want instead of where you want considered an advantage? Don't think so.

A simple increase of monsters' damage per player will end up circle jerks. It will also add more challenge and thrill, as it has to be playing in a party.

"make moar gear-checks".
brilliant solution.

Didn't they try that already? It'd be great. More whines about getting one-shot!

No, they'll force parties do IQ test and solve riddles all their way to the Sudoku boss.

What's wrong with you John?

People sleep while in a party, show me the way to wake them up. I say kill them regularly when distracted, they'll never get asleep anymore.

BTW do you remember full D2 parties? That's the spirit.

yes, but not in the way you have suggested.

walking into a Vaal Smash is one thing. preferably after his minions lured you into it, and he positioned himself to deliver it with perfect timing.

walking into a horribly-overpowered basic attack is quite another.

gear-check is the lowest means of "difficulty".
hell I can design a monster that kills you, right now.
give me 5 minutes of access, to create it in the Path Of Exile code.
I'll give it just one attack that does 9001 phys damage ignoring all armour/evasion/block, and call the thing "boom u dead".

a player dying after being outplayed by the monsters - that's what makes people wake up and pay attention.

all theoretically speaking, of course.
I already accepted the fact this "AI overhaul" I want, will never happen in Path Of Exile.

I have participated, obviously.

Then how'd you run out of maps? Literally impossible.

Why is my experience outdated?
I need those 6 levels to be up to date like you? Hilarious ;)
That's right, but Standard exists, that's all I'll say.

Because it was on Standard. You have no real mapping experience with the new map drop rate, which is what I'm talking about all the time. I'm not talking about standard.

tinko92 a écrit :

The map drop buff has never happened to me, it did however happened to most of other players which made my leveling cheaper.

Bolded parts are contradictory :) Only one can be true at the same time.

tinko92 a écrit :

That depends where your game ends, if it ends in 85th level, then it's not that expensive. And yes, it's doable to get there solo in Ambush due to the low map prices in that range.

I get that from the game, not the forum, unlike you.

More like 90+. Also nice try again at belittling my experience. It must truly bother you that your outdated experience means nothing anymore :D

tinko92 a écrit :

Again, it's basically non-existent if your goal is ~80th level.

Two paragraphs ago it was 85th level ;)

Anyway, as you can see, I've replied and haven't gone deep on any point, because you've conveniently ignored the last part of my last post which speaks for itself.

You were simply repeating some of your (invalid) points, so of course I ignored them. No need to adress them twice in the same post :)

We had that once, it was called FFA loot. Sadly that was too hardcore for the current CoD generation :D
