Maps drop are okay
" Too late to quote this post? :) 1)Chiz to %20 2)Alc to 80-100+% 3)Run retardedly easy map for my level 4)Get ZERO above level maps. 5)Repeat Last night I ran my first ever level 73 map. That's stupid ridiculous. Last edited by Shinare on Jul 27, 2015, 12:09:20 PM

" Thanks for the correction. Even with 77, 78 maps would regularly drop. I do think that this was one thing they should've left. It's only a daily and it wasn't like you would get 77 every day! |

Map drop are ok, and there should be points in every games where you get stuck or blocked.
A wall you hit that prevent you to progress any further for a while, something you must overcome. And POE have several layers of mechanics that act like that and it's what keep the game interesting and players coming back. Yeah running the Most difficults map, at the highest setting for everyone could be nice but, there is one point when everyone will get bored very fast about it. it's called a layered progression and it's well done. | |
" Bingo. This is why GGG has an incentive to address the map drop issue, rather than listen to the tiniest group of masochistic no-lifers who spitefully want all other players (especially new ones) to suffer. We're all in this leaky boat together, people. Last edited by demon9675 on Jul 27, 2015, 12:42:53 PM

" Yes, it does seem like Zana nerf just added insult to injury. I've heard it was to prevent people from creating a million accounts and chaining Zana dailies all day, but frankly that's still a problem and should be addressed separately... We're all in this leaky boat together, people.

OP is wrong I_NO is spot on:

" Um... I've been running the most "UN-difficult" maps for a couple weeks now at their highest setting and I still can't get a 73 more than once. No matter what YOU say, to me this isn't fun anymore and is obviously broken. Last edited by Shinare on Jul 27, 2015, 1:00:03 PM

" Ill quote your post, but only to add something to this line of thought. You can't gate content behind difficulty, because there is no difficulty. PoE is a numbers game and once you reach a certain threshold or abuse certain mechanics you trivialize content. As such, gating content behind "perceived" difficulty leads to pigeon holding the community in builds directly crafted to do just that, abuse the system put in place. There will always be a mandatory RNG aspect required to map sustaining for this game to succeed long therm while it has a ladder and competition associated with it. Now is the RNG to prevalent? Might be, only GGG has the numbers on that. Did GGG succeed in there initial goal to reduce end-game sustaining of maps? Clearly the forums say they have. Don't mistake perceived difficulty with actual difficulty, because what is difficult for one build isn't difficult for the next one etc. your build for example, coupled with being in softcore allows you to brute-force hard content. That isn't difficulty. Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

It's funny how everyone keeps saying chisel maps. What does chiseling do? It doesn't make it harder. It's just another resource drain built in. Why should it be necessary to sustain maps?
We fight to delay the end because it's the means that matter.
