can we please stop the power creep, already? (or better - reverse it)

*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

I can read between lines

hahahaha, you really can't.


edit: since this apparently actually needs to be said ( *facepalm* ), whether you agree with the direction or not, THE POWER CREEP IS VERY MUCH A FACT.

Swing and a miss. What most of us want is a proper difficulty scaling. Red maps SHOULD punish players for having shit builds with a million errors, but they don't. Hell, most of those builds can even run 8 mod maps with sextants and everything and not feel a slight bit of pressure.

Monster power caps at 100 (excluding a few heavily rngated encounters) while player power breaks 1000 well before monster power even hits the cap.

another absolute clown statement. take 10.000 random poe players. take out the ones who "dont feel the slightest bit of pressure while clearing 8 mod red maps" and tell me how many people remain.

it's breathtaking how arrogant and selfish you guys are. absolutely breathtaking.

Take 10000 random PoE players and you likely end up with around 100 players who even complete the story mode. Numbers go even lower when we're talking about red maps.

People who reach continuous red maps should be considered 'elite 1%' (the actual percentage is like 0.001% though), so it's not outlandish to ask for the part of the game only the elite reaches to have the difficulty level raised accordingly.

Out of people who run red maps all day, what's the percentage that isn't affected by 8 mod maps? Over 50%, easily. Before Betrayal, I was doing that with a 4k hp character. After a point, 90% of the map mods are just free IIQ and nothing else.

One difficulty factor for new players, is amount of information. Limited playtime doesn't make the game necessarily harder if you don't play competitively. A "simpler" class/gear system could possibly give more depth to the game, make choices more meaningful and at the same time help new players.

How much do choices matter when you can do that ?
THEY DON'T, because some gem combinations are completely OP just on their own.
Factor all the power creep from item and choices barely matter, because you can destroy the content while making mistakes everywhere while building your character anyway.

This was the problem many players faced with Betrayal, too. Their builds were ridden with holes and the league feature for once punished those players for that. Says a lot when league content is the only thing in the entire game that players hit a brick wall with...

Damn right ...

Children think they want to eat candy all day because it tastes good. If they did, they would die at age 15 of a heart attack. This is OBJECTIVELY a bad thing.

We are all GGG's kids in a way, and now they are giving 50 times more Christmas present than before to all.
Amazing long term perspective heh ...


And now we got people like the other guy who can't post anything without being condescending af using the declination of the word 'nerd' 3 times a post because he is still missing the point of the whole thread and only feels entitled to be spoiled ...

if they had their way, this game would immediately be catapulted into an extreme niche and basically be unplayable for the vast majority of us players

LOL
the irony

you really do have no idea what you are talking about, it'samazing O_O

You guys see the new ES leech gem and the quiver with sockets? Game's getting stupid at this point; this is beyond a fight between elitists and casuals or whatever nonsense dichotomy people think is going on.

This is just GGG handing us "I win" buttons. ES leech support is like BiS for....everyone.

that leech gem shows just how fucking dumb this is.

es leech. wait, no. gotta throw damage multipliers on it! and big damage, at that. ffs.

and yeah, bow users had it rough with only 2 6Ls. they definitely needed more gem slots. this shit's a joke. game balance by billy, my 8 year old neighbor.

Agreed, it's just stupid.
Why dont just add "30% more damage per support gem" to all active gems, then? Instead of adding "more damage" to EVERY support gem in the game...
Cause players worry only about "more damage", they can throw 5 random support gems and git gud.

Damn the powercreep of this update. its insane .

39% more damage while leeching ES and 24% more damage on full ES ... WHAT ??? -__-


Life leech and Mana leech support stayed the same though, like what the hell ? Where is the consistency ? What the flying fuck is this ?

PS : what is this quiver ?

D3 path, 5000% increased damage on all gems incoming.

You think 4.0 will get better? they don t even make an effort to balance shit anymore, give insane dps multiplier few patches away from 4.0.

4.0 won t ever reduce power creep, i can t see them giving players all those shit and suddenly nerfing it.

fuck.
