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

The general feel of the community seems to be:
"As long as you aren't in MY party stealing MY(your) loot, I'm perfectly fine with helping you and giving advice" If you go on global chat you will usually find someone willing to answer your dumb question for the day (unless it is VERY dumb like 'how many exalted will this blue sell for?'). Party play however has been a whole difference experience for me with people ignoring the meaning of party completely and doing their own thing with no regard for others. Loot hasn't really been a problem for me since I've never seen anything worth fighting over drop, but it is very easy to imagine some people grabbing everything they see and pissing off those who got their loot 'stolen'. |

@ Op... that sucks. No one wants to play a game where people harrass you and provide a negative gaming experience. Its all for fun afterall?
Imho, i think people have a real problem in accepting a game which promotes a lot of 'cut-throat' elements. PK'ing on bandits, free-for-all loot etc... all these things which some of us 'older ones' have experienced before are part of the POE experience. I'm really glad POE are catering to these aspects as there is SOOOOO much choice for the opposite. For some reason, players who arent happy with the latter amongst other things, should accept that its ok for atleast one game to have these features. it offers options to those who like the fact that you don't have to be all carebear mmo-style nicenice playstyle. Please note that im talking about playstyle, not player attitude. Just for try for see and for know -2013!

" Yeah my younger brother has been scammed more than once, he says he doesnt care cause he got the item he wanted but hes been overpriced way to much by these assholes. Anyway i never played wow nor D3 (ive played D1 and 2 long ago though), i used to play ultima online and i was a red, that means i player killed 24/7 (gave back loot, and never griefed btw), so its not like im a casual at that, im just tired of people taking advantage of others and being self centered. I was born in the 80s so i lived in a time where people were alot more social and empathious, so its stressful to handle how abyssmal people can be. Just so its clear i do like the unforgiving mechanics of this game but not how people are able to f you over on what drops as 'your loot, and the scamming ofc. newnewnew Last edited by Calmarimoni#0019 on May 3, 2013, 8:22:43 AM

Unfortunately OP, this game was created at “hard-core” or “cut-throat.” I’m not sure as to exactly what kind of game interests you. As for me personally, I love playing solo. Don’t have to worry about loot drops – they’re all mine I tell you mwahahahahaaha!! Ahem… Anyway, if you’re interested in a game that is similar to this, that’s an “MMO,” then I would suggest you play what I’m currently playing – Guild Wars; that would be Guild Wars 1. Everything is instanced, you get “mercs” to roam around with you, the game is pretty dead BUT there are some huge guilds that are around with helpful people. For the age of this game, it still has great graphics and very nice game play. Or you can play another favourite of mine, EQ2 – another lower populated game BUT with a fantastic community of peeps. I suppose it just all boils down to as to what kind of community you want to play with.

asteroid came close to the earth, there's snow in Arizona, star wars and star trek have the same director! Who the hell is playing jumanji? | |

" I'd ask if I could have your stuff but seems like you were to slow to pick anything worth having up :( |

" I played UO for about 6 years in my teens and I can honestly say that game (in Felucca at least) was much worse for griefing than PoE is. I distinctly remember people would PK and then sit on your corpse until you came back (naked) and kill you again, rinse and repeat until your 1st corpse decayed. Then you'd lose all your gear whether or not they bothered to loot you. Players in general in PoE are no better or worse than in any online game I've ever played (and I've played waaaay too many). TBH I have no idea how you haven't got used to it by now. I suggest you make some in-game friends, then you could party up without worrying about losing 'your' loot etc and you could trade within your circle of friends to avoid being ripped off (although IMO anyone who doesn't check the price of items they're buying or selling deserves anything they get) IGN: A Million Minions

I think the community by and large has some great qualities to it.
Yes theres the free for all aspect, and I think trading and traders suck and are a pain in the ass to deal with... everyone wants more than is reasonable. etc etc etc. However, global chat is almost ALWAYS got some interesting chatter and I have gotten trapped into 45 minute chats (as a solo player) and cut short the number of runs I do for those chats. Also the forums are pretty good. I've seen a buncha crap here from time to time but also some really badass question and answer. The developers are also active posters. I'm not gonna comment on parties, but when I'm not trading with them, I like the community :) |
