I too would love a high level area to grind/farm. But I wouldn't want it to replace maps. I rather enjoy the map system as an endgame. It provides different encounters and mechanics each time via what map mods you roll on which maps.

If all we had for endgame was "baal runs" I think I would prob get bored alot faster, though for some reason this was not the case in d2 for me.

I think this point is invalid at this time however since I am sure the next act will contain higher level zones for us to grind in. But for the here and now, something needs to happen soon. I understand this is still a beta, but GGG you NEED to keep players interested. All of them. Including the ones with shitty map luck.

I really wish I had been here for Malestrom of chaos. I have heard a little about it and it sounds to me like an excellent idea for endgame. An endless dungeon/map would also be pretty cool.

What if...

- there would be a few "Baals", not just one, each with nice drops, and each a different and very challenging fight
- the "Baals" would be positioned in nice, thematic dungeons, with elite mobs and related to PoE's lore (great opportunity to expand it...)
- there would be new "Baals" added each new act, or maybe the occasional "Baal" if needed in a patch

- and yes, maybe the "Baals" would drop better gear each act, and be more difficult (offset by their new gear...) each act...

Would you still get bored? Would you still prefer randomised old content like we have now?

I'm just curious.

there is a reason why 90% of top 20-30 players (since launch) stopped playing

I cannot answer that because I don't know. I honestly don't know EXACTLY why I get bored with games. I have hints and suggestions, but what you describe above sounds alot like an mmo... I wouldn't be able to know unless I was there.

If you had told me 5 weeks ago that I would be bored with this game today, I would laugh at you. Yet here we are. I don't think im quite bored per say, but I AM frustrated that I am unable to do what I set my mind on doing because of misfortune.

Where are you getting this information? I know on my gateway, the top 10 ladder chars continue to level every day. HvR is a fucking madman!

Looking forward to see what GGG does when he reaches 100, which should be soon enough - sooner than I anticipated :)

Increase the max level? Hehe... to 110? Then what? 120? 130? ARPG, or MMO?
Tell him nicely "Man, please run some alts from now on, we give you goodies!"
Reset the ladder? Well, they said it won't happen, but I'm not excluding it. Maybe a "bug" will erase all the chars :P

A good opportunity for popcorn for sure!

So as if to say, "you feedback is invalid and you wasted an hour writing it" the RNG demon decided to throw this at me in 1 single thicket map with 34%iiq



Why this never happens to me when I am in higher level maps is beyond me. This shatters my old record of maps dropped in 1 instance. But as you might have guessed, instead of being happy I am even MORE upset now. My luck keeps piling these low level maps on me when I so desperately want the higher ones.

I know, I know... QQ more blah blah blah. But if you have been following this thread, you would know I just used my entire stash of 69s and 68s and now have to suffer through 67s only to be taunted with this kind of mockery.

If RNG was a person... I wish it had cancer.

Because the higher level maps are much rarer... but you obviously knew that I suppose. Also, you can get low level map drops in high level maps, which adds to the insult. I've got 66s in lvl 71-72 maps quite a few times :)
BTW, nice crop there. I never got more than 3 maps out of a single run, and that happened 2 times only or so.

Yeah, I know. I was just wondering why my "luck" only comes in with this kind of results instead of the ones I need.

I have so many damn 66 and 67 maps... they seem to be all that will drop. I never argued in my post that map drop rates weren't good. I just don't think progression is very possible for me when crap like this happens.

At least I can take comfort in knowing that the huge pile of maps I just got from that thicket map, totally cockblocked someone else that was trying to progress in a high level map.
Balance.

BTW, another view (not mine!) is that "progression" is still progression if you get just 1% XP/run. People just want stuff too damn fast :)

So you should enjoy running low level maps, and maybe you even get some items (pff...) if you can run them with lots of IIQ/IIR. Getting high level maps is uncommon, you should build a sizeable stash of them before starting to run them and intermingle with low level maps, in an attempt to keep your stash of high level maps.

BTW, to run 72+ maps or so "efficiently", the currency needs are HUGE, so if you're a solo player, you'd get stuck somewhere near that level anyway, because you would need to farm hours on average (no exaggeration, been through that) just to get enough currency to roll your high level maps properly, in the hope that they will return a high level map drop, so you can continue in that tier :)

So farm low level maps (or even Merciless content...) in IIQ/IIR gear, hopefully you'll get some gear to sell and some currency, and then you'll have enough to roll your high level maps, i.e., the need to farm to be able to farm™
