This game is too easy

I did hope for a better and more challenging endgame, once reached 70+, the game feels easier than cruel, it's sad that other rpgs (while inferior for many aspects), did offer a more challenging endgame.

Playing Hardcore doesn't make the game any harder, it's like juggling, and saying that playing with 2 balls without dropping one, is harder than playing with 7.

This game is casual friendly, i started to play PoE after reading the forums, people were begging the devs to keep this game ''hard'', to not do same mistake Blizzard did with Diablo3 Inferno.

I really want to know what games did they play to claim this game was hard...

Go play Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Ghost'n Goblin... that's a PvE hard to beat, and they were made decades ago. How is that possible that they could more challenging games back then? If something they should be harder now, the AI technology should be more sophisticated now, allowing devs to make monsters have random and unpredictable pattenrs, but nope.

It was harder to beat Gary in Pokemon red than finishing this game.


Obvious troll post and flame bait. The reference to ages-old games was way too obvious.

Nothing to be seen here. Move on!

I guess that gives you the right to say the game is too easy. I mean 1 toon to 74 in default. Game must be easy.

How do you check/see people's characters?

iirc the top 15000 characters in each league are listed.

Oh that is quite a good site to know, lets you know fairly quickly if someone is chatting crap.
Oh nice. I had a feeling it had to do with the ladder.

Sorry, we mods have similar tools so I wasn't sure if there was some sorcery about which I was ignorant.

As it turns out, I was. :)
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.
Came to see logical explanation as to why the game is too easy, then get to see a moron talk about it while playing on DEFAULT league. Yes, it *IS* harder because you HAVE to play smarter on hardcore, build more defensive. Your reward is STAYING in hc for not playing dumb and THAT makes it harder since you always have to have the fear of death, what the fuck right do you have to say the game is easy SpitfireQT? When youre just a level 74 scrub who hasn't even done end game maps yet I'm assured BECAUSE youre just 74. Yeah, when you die you get a 15% exp penalty, and we die we get moved a whole league? How can you call that "not harder"? And congrats you made it to 99 in diablo 2 hardcore, no fucks are given since that's easy and anyone can baal/pit run all day. On top of that you've only been here since January, sit the fuck down son - stay a while and listen.

Yeah, you tell him bro!
I played to level 18 (This Paldin like old guy) now, Act 2. I can one hit even those yellow and blue enemies and they are not able to do any signifcant damge to me. They need about 3 minutes of hitting me until i die.

I cant find any competition in this game. Its like playing Assassins Creed, the figths are so easy they got boring.

Sorry, I am going to call bullshit on this, invite me to your party, stand there for 3 min and tank any blue\yellow mob in the game and not use flask\attacks. You will die.

Normal difficulty doesn't punish the player at all, you are learning on how to build up a character. Cruel adds both an XP penalty and a resistance penalty (which is further increased in merciless)

I've never heard this game compared to Assassins Creed before, progress further, it gets better, tougher and overall more fun. Of course you could also try HC, because apparently you know the answer to not dieing.

Remove MF from POE, make juiced map the new MF.
and then you reach Dominus on Cruel, or play Merciless, or Maps...
... and you get fucking disintegrated, Mr. Necro Two Year Old Thread guy.

one thing I can say, the game did get easier than it used to be, in Normal and early Cruel. there were multiple changes made along the way, which result in this.
but in higher content well, that's a whole new story.

sadly though, it's not because of superior AI or interesting challenges.
it's because enemies who previously hit you for 10 damage, suddenly hit you for 9001 damage and instantly blow you up, unless uber-geared.
the vast majority of difficulty in Path Of Exile, is a gear-check-based numbers game.
