Chris Wilson on PoE in 2013 and 2016

The players have also changed a lot. The old players are jaded as fuck, the new players are probably more casual. This is why games eventually have to die, can't go on forever. Despite that I believe PoE has another good five years until it's "ded".

the difficulty comment is the only thing that concerned me, and i really hope that they still consider making difficult content. I still enjoy the game and what it is, and I hopefully always will.

Hopefuly it isn't WoW for me....

I just wish they'd put a map mod in.

Chris made it sound all like quantum mechanics or something getting difficulty "just right"

Naw man all you gotta do is a mod

Number can be tweaked of course but something like maps can roll masochist mod

Monster have 100% more HP
Monster do 50% more DPS
Monster move and attack 50% faster
100% inc Exp
100% inc rarity
50% inc quantity

totally optional (with chaos)

^That would be more in line with a masochist map mod.

hahaa but you should have incentive to run em, besides i did it.

This game is still too hard, I am counting on this turning into D3 at some point but keeping the builds as is.

In D3 you have cooldown for spells thats not fun.

Also character models in this game is ugly and females are not attractive. They should fix this

There is a few cooldowns here as well.

Anyway - this game is not hard if you have experience. My advice is do what I did just copy a build you like the looks of to a tee so you can learn system and monsters. I did it when I came from D3. Copied a journeyman named ziggyD (at the time it was his MoM EK scion) and I actually made 74 in HC first shot!

He has a great channel here with updated builds and A to Z about this game

Fast forward to today I make my own builds and have no troubles.

Edit: I shouldnt say my "own" builds they are all GGGs builds but I mean I take my own direction to end game with ease.

I mean, I dont think poe would be dead- on the contrary- the numbers prove otherwise. but, numbers only show that more accessible game is more popular than a less accessible, niche one. I mean, no shit- how is it a surprise for anyone ? its like that everywhere you look. That was obvious at the onset.

what is going on now is a sharp change of direction. the only reason why I wont call this instance a bait and switch situatioon, is because poe in its 'hardcore' iteration went for quite a few years, and was true to its original intention.
