Can you increase the difficulty? Game too easy now.

Meta builds get nuked every 3 months, and are a really small set in the build pool.

Also I am asking for more challenging ENDGAME.
If you aren't pulling at least 60k+ effective DPS and at least 10k effective life by the time you hit 90 your build probably isn't a good one and you had plenty of time to optimize your gear to make it good.
You don't balance the game for players with mirror gear because 99.9% of them are on standard anyway and they wanted that power level, but you can't balance your game around the worst builds possible either.

We are not talking about raising monster life x100, we are talking about not exploding enemies in 1 second like loot pinyatas.

Tell me.
Do you use 'services' to progress?

Extra damage mods are the most challenging because theyre actually punishing, one small mistake, dead. Its a pure test of your skill and how well your build was planned.

If you find the game too easy, why don't you set your own rules and create your own threshold on difficulty ?

For example, make a new build that only uses magic items (no rares, no uniques), or a build that can use gems up to level 10 only, or limited to 3-links on all gear parts, or only allowed to use red gems, or whatever... :)

I'm talking about people saying "game too easy". NOT about people talking about power creep.

If someone says the game is too easy, then they'd better have the credentials to back that statement up. I have seen that a HUGE majority of the complainers DO NOT have those credentials.

I think that's pretty much a semantic argument then, the power creep causes the game to be too easy, that's the argument I've seen at least.

Easy in what context?

Why is it that the people who complain that the game is too easy continue to suffer character deaths?

in a game like this it is impossible to make the game harder without making it impossible for others.

it would pretty much kill build diversity and would favour only a very special playstyle!

to illustrate:
if you want to make it harder for those with bis items and fotm builds you pretty much need to assume everyone has a 6 link. you need to make it WAY easier to get such so everyone (who tries) can get it. the damage output of all builds would need to be somewhat the same.
this would go in the direction of D3.

you could, however, make the (incomming) damage scale with your HP (like lab traps) but this would render a core part of the game useless!

this in an ARPG and no MMO(rpg)! if you have the best gear and if you play the best build you ARE god! this is how it works.

if you think you feel unchallenged i can only suggest you play self found (might sell items for map rolling purposes). don't care about others and you won't feel like gimping yourself.

Game is too easy as in Softcore gameplay? If you want difficult gameplay - play in hardcore where your mistakes are generally punished. HC would be the answer to difficulty that your looking for.
