"hardcore" overflow

POE is as it is by design and it is working as intended.

Just doesn't have the in game tools to deal with the volume yet.

Who the FUCK cares about a game being hard core or not? I mean, really?

And IF we have to define it, it ALWAYS comes down to time investment. That time invested can be used to make you more skilled, it can be used to read up - and understand the game better or it can be used to chop the head of stupid monsters.

If you use the time spent well, it will ALWAYS give you an advantage. Time investment is everything. EVERYTHING! (If you're not stupid).

Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

in many sports we see that spending more time won't make you better. Soccer is a good example, which is why we rarely see any top players above 40 years of age.

You better be trolling :D
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

I forgot to add the word "always" between "won't" and "make".

GGG seems to care as it's one of their selling points remember ?

In context of an ARPG I don't consider time to be at all hardcore.It's what you do in that time,however long or short,that will define hardcore.


WTFpwning mobs 15 or more levels for hours on end to get a scrap of currency isn't hardcore,it's as soft as a limp biscuit.

Trivializing content through overgearing in trade and lolocopter party play isn't hardcore,it's yawn inducing.

I agree with that time spent well will always give you an advantage,but how much advantage does one need before trivializing content ?

I'm still baffled by your example though. The only reason why you don't see good 40+ players in soccer is because they are too fucking old to physically compete.

Which is exactly the point: spending more time is not exclusively advantageous, during that period of time there is a loss in capability as well. Which is why spending time will not always make you better.

We see that among professional LoL and chess players as well.

players who are 40 years old arent becoming worse because they 'lose in capability' because they spent too much time playing soccer. that is fucking absurd and makes zero sense.

they are becoming worse because human body peaks physically in endurance (main aspect of soccer in terms of physical capacity) in early 20s to mid 30s and then goes downhill. goalies can play till the late 40s and even 50s (rarely) because simply they simply have to have reaction/positioning and not run on the field 90 minutes of play, which is far more physically toiling.
