My experience in this game has been nothing but negative and harassive.

Very simple solution to all these problems: play hardcore. The people who play hardcore are much more respectful and social, they play for fun, and I never had any of the problems you described.

GGG wants to promote a "cut-throat" feel but in the end what will happen is that casuals will be driven away.

Good. That is the point.
Harsh fusing RNG and orb drop rates, the ridiculous exp penalty, no respecs, clunky animation which cause death. Apparently these are good things according to GGG and basement nerds. Gamers have evolved and gameplay has evolved those things were great back in the 90's when no one knew any better. Unfortunately GGG and said nerds are stuck in he 90's.

There are some great ideas in this game ruined by the mentality that "hardcore old school" style is a good thing. And yes i think D3 is an abomination while POE is good but it also gets many things wrong.

Until you need help on the bandits quest.............
OP I want you to do two things. Try your hardest to make friends. Use the forums or chats or whatever but get some good friends to play the game with. The second thing is to wait patiently for GGG to implement the looting options that they said they intend on releasing. I have been advocating looting options since the day I arrived and Thank God GGG listened. Then you can enjoy public parties without all of the good stuff getting swiped from you.

That and the stale assholes that just play these games with scripts, bots, hacks and 3rd party tools, please jump off a bridge you pathetic neglect of society.


I am going to add in the Pay 2 win people who use their real money so that they can feel all cool with the best gear.

And then I agree with this completely.

The real problem with this game is the 'endgame' maps.

I did maps for 2 weeks, got a melee marauder to 82, and quit.

Why?

Because maps, as is, SUCK BADLY.

Go in, plow around, kill a boss.

Thats it?

Thats the game?

LOL

No progression to unlock tiers of maps.

No variation on what to do in maps.

The game world, although small is contiguous up to maps.

Then you enter a magic portal room and fight ad nauseum in zones that are mostly cut and pasted from the game you just levelled in (3 times, LOL). Theres no reason or story (LORE) as to why you are going to said map. The truth is, you are just there because its lazy design, is all.

And then theres more...

Most ability points HAVE to be put in health just to barely survive.

Oh, and desync. Let's not forget this beauty.

The loot sniping.

Melee still SUCKS.

The racing is strictly won by people who play this game 20 hrs a day for a year already and have every single ability path ingrained into their not so easily bored brains.

There are MANY more reasons I shelved this game.

People act like it's the games fault that the internet is a cesspool of time wasters seeking self-stimulation. The result? You either get 100% "safe" and happy games like wow that are heavily regulated and have no game freedom or you end up with people acting like dicks. I'll take the latter because I'm sick of games that hold your hand the whole way and make sure you never get ganked for any reason, never lose an experience point or get ripped off by another player, never end up fighting above your level, all loot is automatically divided equaly among the players with binding so nobody can whine or make unfair trades, etc. etc.

Also this guy gets it. Thank *insert godfigure here* for companies like GGG who are still doing games like this.

Harsh fusing RNG = awesome.
orb drop rates = awesome.
exp penalty = should be higher.
no respecs = awesome / that's why im silver.
gamers have evolved = rofl, insta-gratification seeking adhd kids, you call that evolving? I bet you play cod too.
back in the 90's = devs understood what is fun, like GGG now.

The originality in this one supersedes even the maturity.

What is really funny, is this one.

Because "Fk doing that, that will be death"

is far more HC than "That's death up there, lets go and try to beat the fker""
Casually casual.
