THERE IS NO REASON WHY POE shouldn't have a CASUAL league
|
The reason there shouldn't be a casual league is that this game was made to be difficult. Don't you think there will be people tempted to go to this league just because it's easier? And when it becomes less brutal, they'll probably get bored and quit. When people ragequit, they almost always come back. When they quit out of boredom, they never come back. Also, there would be a ton of Hardcore players who complain about this anyway. So basically this is only going to decrease the playerbase.

" Needing a high time investment or good RNG can be equally, if not more boring than burning out on the content. I know that if the game wasn't in permanent famine mode, I would have at the very least 8 builds I'd want to try. That's roughly another month or 2, maybe 3 of enjoyment. After which the expansion is out, so probably another 6-7 builds. So having access to those builds to run smoothly, rather than making the experience overly difficult and downright painful to play would guarantee another 6 months of me spending time ingame. Probably buying a few stash tabs to help fund the game. Keeping the game as it is means I can't be arsed to grind this game like a second, non paying job and am bored right this instant. As with most of the people I know who already quit. And ragequitting doesn't make me come back. Trying out new stuff does. Hell, even went back to diablo 2 to try some of the new builds. Was great fun. Fluent gameplay, true enjoyment. Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs.
We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right. |

Maybe im just different. I dont mean better, just different.
I play HC/Onslaught only, rarely party, more rarely trade. I play the game and enjoy struggling and succeeding, even if I die (and I do) eventually. Every character I make i learn something new and use that to refine my next character. Ive been playing for better than 2 years and still havent done all I want to do. I dont need or want an easier way to play, if anything, make it harder, its a challenge,thats what keeps me coming back, not getting to maps in a day and a half. SOTWGUILD.COM

WHAT?! causal? like in the sense that you don't need to spend 8h/day to play this game?!
HOW DARE YOU! I had a dream... very beautiful dream... and in that dream we had a league with 10x drop rates and buffed boss loot tables, where partying and trading was disabled.... |

" What kind of ridiculous logic is that? I played on onslaught even though standard was available. I WANTED the more difficult (at least in terms of survival) experience. If they implemented a casual league I would play it if it better suited my tastes but that'd depend on how it was "casual". No, I don't want the fights easier (i'd like them harder than onslaught) No, I don't want better xp or faster leveling. Yes, I want "dead = dead". Yes, I still need an answer for solo, self-found. So if this "casual league" provided the answer for self-found I'd play it. But since I've already left the other leagues then my playing casual would only be a benefit to the game. I don't trade. I don't group. My comments reflect that.

" lmao partying and trading disabled. lololol GGG, send him a ban, he's against the main idea of the game. He wants a big part of the game to not exist. Send him back to single player Final Fantasy. Last edited by Warmey#4835 on Aug 29, 2013, 9:57:55 PM

" never played FF, and this game (PoE) reminds me of Diablo where single player WAS an option.. big part of the game could be hardcore death (meaningful death) yet we have an OPTION to choose what we want... OPTION?! you mean you can choose what you like?! what's next letting people choose to turn particle effects on/off?! HOW DARE YOU! |

" *laughs* My bad. I missed the sarcasm font :) I don't trade. I don't group. My comments reflect that.

" I did not read all the previous posts but the bold part in your comment is a often a problem. Like what is being successful? if your definition of being successful includes any of these points * Being among the highest leveled characters * Having the best items * Having a lot of currency compared to other players * And most importantly do you like showing off crazy items If 100000 players have similar goals then the ones with most time is going to be most successful no matter how you change drop rater or modify items / skills. Instead do this !! * Play more self found * Challenge yourself to make use of gems/items that none uses * Craft items even though buying would be cheaper this is also being more of a requirement if you need uncommon items * You reached the end when you killed merciless piety and sits around level 75-80, create a new character/new experiment I have played this game since 2 days after CLOSED beta started and yes I have spent a lot of hours but currently I am playing like 1-3 hours 4-6 days a week and I feel very successful when gearing and progressing with my self found characters |
