I think most gamers misunderstand Path of Exile

Yes, that PoE misunderstands gamers is the master, leading to gamers misunderstanding PoE. People are natural, however, and so cannot be blamed, the fault lies within the game. I didn't want to come at it from that angle it's a bit of an offensive way, the other way provokes reflection and the question why, readers will discover answers for themselves that way, and it makes a lasting impression for those that do quest, rather than being flushed out with their next breath.

" Or maybe there isn't even such thing as "what most gamers want". Some like trade, some like selffound, some like both. Some like challenge, some like to avoid challenge. Some like managing resources, some simply want to be rich. Some like to be lead through the game, some want to explore/puzzle. ... 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519 Last edited by Peterlerock on Nov 26, 2014, 4:41:46 AM

" All gamers want to have fun. At least I hope so lol. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" Probably, but the definition of "fun" can be quite different. Like: I don't consider it "fun" to play with a character lvl 88+. I consider it "fun" to reroll and see a build grow while playing a1N to a3M and maps. But there's a lot of players that consider A1N-A3M a waste of time, they want maps asap. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519

This is why the game in question, PoE in this case must be honest with itself. and PoE is just that. Its honest. It says approximately "if you dont like me, fuck you. Go play Bubble Witch Saga..."
it says this without words. Eve:online says it Dwarf Fortress says it Carnage heart said it on the Playstation The Campaign For North Africa said it (look this one up...its pretty crazy....) the list goes on and on.... the game cannot please those who want padded comfort. it cannot aim to please those who play strictly hardcore and can farm for 12 hours a day. that cannot be its focus it has to focus on itself first and let the applicable players discover it on their own. It's like you said, The goal is fun...players want to have fun. and certainly not all players find PoE fun. but many do. and games like this are rare. And for those reasons it is important for PoE to exist the way it does. |
