This game is too easy
|
The only challenge in hack n slash games is hardcore mode, it does take some planning and skill. Anything else is a just a gear check, nothing more. Coming from more of an RPG Baldur's Gate background I have to say that PoE has had me thinking quite a lot, currently lvl 60 hardcore and enjoying the challenge.

Difficulty is fine. Frankly, min-maxers who play the game more than they work should not be catered too, especially since this is a F2P game.

I only play hardcore and this game is really NOT easy. You should try that. It used to be way easier in closed beta, but they tuned down a lot of the power the players had in closed beta days.

Path of Exile is made in a way that you can choose your own difficulty.
Obscure builds, hardcore mode, map difficulty, etc. Taking an OP build, playing softcore and claiming that it's too "easy" doesn't win you any points. Easy builds on default league are for people with limited skill and still want to see endgame. You're doing the equivalent of playing a game on easy and demanding that they force difficulty down your throat instead of setting the difficulty higher yourself. Where MMORPG's have carebear mode all through leveling up no matter what, Path of Exile lets you create your own difficulty otherwise some people 'will' find it to hard. I swear people get it into their heads that if they don't play the most OP, best proven build out there then they are somehow gimping themselves in the long run. Path of Exile is meant to be enjoyed, not beaten. Last edited by Rollback#5721 on Feb 7, 2013, 7:56:31 PM

" Ten words of pure brilliance. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. |

I can't escape the feeling that Spitfireqt just failed on this game pretty hard, was mad and created this thread for whatever reason XD ... well, to troll around.
I made some big mistakes when it comes to maximum life with my marauder in softcore, but merciless is NOT easy. AT least not as easy as Spitfireqt is saying. Then again I never looked at a build known to be good. I always made my own builds. I don't want to play according to a plan, I want to play for myself. I created a hardcore character today XD, I'm curious how far I will get. At least now I know that I have to skill a lot of life. XD |

You are a 2k Elo player, which means you are pretty skilled in a lot of strategical games.
Why do you think an ARPG would probe a challenge to you, since they are usually gear/build checks? And actually, PoE deviates from this formula a bit, having difficulty spikes, maps, and some really hard mechanics (like non-linear damage reduction, Shock, and so on). The challenge in ARPS is always a relation between the sum of your build, gear and skill and the difficulty of the area or boss you are attempting. If you outlevel, outgear, outbuild and also outplay a zone or boss, it's obviously going to be easy. Being level 10 and fighting Merciless Piety won't be though. AIs are not as good as they should, because it's actually really really hard to come up with an AI that can beat a human. Developers won't focus on building a DeepBlue AI for Skellies to outplay players, they get a decent AI that works out for the 99% of players, i.e. rush the char and use skills. |

Hardest part about the game is RNG to be able to do end-game. Game is pretty easy really.
