End game is not where it ought to be, simple as that.

I think GGG really thought that ruthless was a good game model.
I think despite it never having a good reception and never being asked for in any way that they knew better and the community was going to love it.
They don't.

You are a gimp, that's about it.
The trials are probably the worst anything I have seen in a video game.
Well perhaps E.T was worse but not by much.

I really liked that senior staff came out to talk to the community.
That they were surprised about people not liking some aspects i found troubling becasue they looked tone deaf.

Much can be fixed with small adjustments to speed and damage output.

GGG seems to think the job of a mob is to kill the player.
It is in fact to die.

The floor is covered in crap!
Exploding corpses both on and off screen.

Once again the solution is to build the ONLY builds to AVOID ALL GAME MECHANICS
becasue they are jank.

The game is better off removing all ground explosions.
replace them with floor effect.
floor effect debuff and never damage.

You should never be killed by something that you cant trace back to the origin .

The Archnemesis stuff ill just leave ...

The anger with Exp penalty I believe is really dissatisfaction with death.
To be blunt you feel like you were bent over and porked.

They don't feel like deaths that were avoidable, or that there was some kind of fight or contest that took place.... BOOM ONE SHOT!.. heath bar plunge from full to 0 . Body blocked into a corner, literally pushed into the corner you are stuck in, swarmed and killed.. no movement skills.

So combined with trying to piss off a player as much as possible by wasting their time, the time to path to an area, the time to accumulate the maps, the time spent setting up the region ... and ONE TAP.. all that time lost + an hour of non stop exp grind to get back to where you were.

Players are not going to do it.

GGG used to hide their jank mechanics and inability to balance the game behind being able to ignore 90% of the game, now Ultimatum is mandatory , trial are mandatory, you cannot select the side games you want in your maps they are random , what GGG did was force people into their jank mechanics...
They pulled down their own pants.

Combined with one portal which falls under covering up the jank ... becasue before if you got BS one shot ... you would hate it .. but shake it off and just go back and do it again .... now ... NOPE.
Once again putting bad game mechanics on display, if that death was not justified to the player ... they are not going to forget it .. and the counter has begun of how many times it is going to be tolerated.

GGG looks to me like they don't know why they succeeded in the past .

This decline is to be expected and I think it should be a vote of confidence to GGG that they have so many naysayers stalking their forum, paying attention to what they’ll do next. The real danger is when people stop talking about it altogether.
