Main purpose of the Game

Ok guys, first of all sorry for bad english, not my first language.

And second of all, i want to ask a very simple question about the game, what is it purpose. I mean, i know that the game is developed by "grinding gear", so, i realize that we are going to grind some gear through the game...

But I want to know the TRUE purpose of the game, is it to create builds? To grind gear?

Because the way i see it, you have no other purpose than that.

Eventually (maybe in Act 10?) there will be a Boss , a Culprit, a Grand Schemer who set everything in motion called Dominus.

The goal is to stop him, at all cost, with a Merciless -60 Elemental Resist Penalty.

If you manage to do that, you can pat yourself on the back. :)



Until Dominus is implemented.



Point of Interest: Unique Bosses
In addition to chests and packs of random monsters, each Map is inhabited by a Unique boss monster.

These monsters are very difficult and drop an increased quantity of items. Each Map base type has a consistent boss monster, so players are able to plan their build around the type of Map they’re running. For example, if the Overgrown Ruin Maps have a boss that uses Lightning Strike, then players know they need to bring a lot of lightning resistance to defeat it.

We expect that players will share information about what Unique boss they find in each Map level in the same way that they assembled a list of vendor recipes and Unique items.

Man, my point is: Interaction. I want interaction... I believe that cutthroat mode need to be added in default by default at least.

take a look at c9 for example, you can invade other ppl instance while they are leveling up, and it has a system that everyone who create a instance can enable/disable invading with rewards of exp and loot for enabling...

if that system was implemented here it would be P-E-R-F-E-C-T. Because if you divide leagues, like: Default, Default cutthroat, and so on.. the online player base of each league will be smaller.

It sounds like you just really want more PvP options. They're coming.

Races and other events also give you a chance to start fresh in a competitive environment.

They're sure as hell not gonna turn Default into Cutthroat. That would be glorious, trollolol, but never ever gonna happen. Alternate modes like that will be in their own leagues. Default is the 'plain vanilla' game.

The whole league system is designed to get you rolling lots of characters. If you really want to farm endgame all day on one high level character, more power to you, but that's not how the game is 'intended' to be played. Doing that is intentionally choosing to skip most of the diverse gameplay options PoE provides in favor of something much more repetitive. I agree that it would get boring after a while to farm endgame in Default on a single character; I wouldn't recommend doing that :P

Well thing is:

1. There can always be more players. More game modes does not have to mean smaller subdivision of existing players.

2. A smaller community of like minded people in game is better than forcing your preferences on everyone IMHO.

3. The same players can play multiple leagues. I am using Default as a test chamber as are many others for now but give me a while and I will have a presence in hardcore. Cut throat will come in due time and I will likely be there eventually.

You keep saying you want Default to be Cutthroat. What you really want is to have a large Cutthroat league. You don't wan't to deal with having to /ignore every person you hunt down, because if there was no 'safe' league, all the people who would usually be there and are still playing would throw a tantrum. Also, just wait for HC Cutthroat. Become Death himself.

I don't get it. It's like asking what is the purpose of playing any game. This is an ARPG, if you don't enjoy it now, you probably never will.

They also said that Guild Events will be coming, no timeframe though.

pretty much this.

I strongly believe that a big cutthroat league would be way more interesting than -looping-endgame farming-. because it would have more player interaction. You can control your leveling and farming by your own skills, not only by right clicking pack of mobs. :|
