Took a Break from POE, Came back for Flash Back

So i was playing quite a bit during torment for the first month or so but after that it... the game started getting boring really quick.

I was kind of on and off (mostly off) on poe till i heard about the flash back league.

I was so excited and ready to get onto it.

Within the first few days i had an amazing build that could handle the full ruckus modifiers and was getting alot of good loot/gear.

The weekend experience was so wild and fun

For once, the game was intense.

Then it went back to casual land, getting no maps, and only 3 modifiers...

Im lvl 79 and tbh i just dont have any reason to play atm.

Theres no end game content..... the map drop is still horrid, and even then the map pool for high level maps are ridiculously limited.

This game truly feels uncompleted and you only have stuff to do till around 75.. after that playing this game becomes a chore.

losing hours of exp from a desync rip, not getting high level maps, and just feeling like theres no point in playing.

The fun was sucked out of the game the second the weekend modifiers were removed and slowly the feeling that made me quit began to creep back in.


I truly hope ACT 4 content can fix the hole/gap that exists in the 70+ area.

I agree end game is horrific. But what are your suggestions? I the way d3 handles it... The only thing i like about d3 is endless rifts. No matter how bad ass you are you will alwys hit a wall whether 27 rift 45 rift or 60 rift. To me that's cool. You can say I got X character to 40 he was more successful than last guy I only got to 35 rift.

Here only real end game are same boring ass maps which just about all build on class forum can do. You can set goals like atziri or uber (if you can find parts because of stupid gating) but even that gets old.

Wish GGG had decent end game but everything else is great from zero to hero IMO.

reroll is the common answer and prolly appropriate until they fix end game.

I heard D2 had a good end game but never played it so cant say.

This game needs content that is lvl 70-90, that isnt maps.


Its really not complicated at all

There should be an "end game" spot

where people can
A. Explore
B. Conqueror Bosses or Massive Monsters that make you feel accomplished.
C. Achieve Appropriate Loot

Already GGG fucked it up big time by making beyond bosses drop little to nothing...
It should AT LEAST, be guaranteed 4-5 rares per Beyond Unique Boss..


i ALSO OFFERED GGG FREE LEVEL DESIGN

and their response? Nothing

They don't even care about receiving outside help for free, let alone just looking at ideas.

Why would they give a shit about this feedback section either.


Either way i can imagine a massive map setup for just "end game" players with portals all around leading to mysterious areas which are completely randomly generated and have random mods.

There is no sense of exploration in this game anymore.
No sense of wondering whats around the corner.

Every map is the same and the layouts are the same and everything is just repetitive now.


There is sooooo much GGG could do..

So many little things like an MTX 2H Sword that when you hold your hand sticks out through the middle of the blade, stuff that like that removes immersion into the game.

Or as i said having a small map pool for... idk over a year or two.

They just dont care.

Tbh, I don't even get your point. Maps are probably on purpose not lvl 90+ right because, it is supposed to take you a while to hit lvl 100, but if they added maps up to lvl 90 hitting lvl 100 would take you like 3 days literally. Saying that, it would be a great loss for HC and races especially.
Furthermore you can roll different mods on your maps, which makes it more interesting than other ARPG's, I mean talking about D3 endgame come on, I played D3 a lot myself and you're saying it is any better? It is the same with just the monsters having more hp and dmg literally. (My max was G Rift 53)
If you want to make it more "difficult" then run maps with ridiculous mods, but ye there are maps you probably "can't clear" with this or this build and you run easier maps. It's like doing G rift 30 all the time for 2 weeks and saying it's not challenging. :P

With the 2.0 patch if you actually are following what's going on there will be new maps even higher lvl than those we have right now if I'm not mistaken as well as overall higher lvl nonmap areas due to comming act 4. I'm not even close to being that good/fast myself, but the top players hit lvl 79 in 1 day, so I can't see your point in the game being boring or being at the end, if you can't match the knowledge/speed of those people.

I'm out, cheers. I hope you will like the Awakening changes and find new joy in this game, since imo PoE is the best ARPG out there and I basically played almost only ARPG's and MMORPG's.

D2 had no endgame. After your "merciless dominus" your only options were to grind that final boss or do the atziri equivalent. However that atziri equivalent was so much better than the atziri of this game. The gating was far more enjoyable and actually feasible for a solo player and there were more bosses to kill and you got a guaranteed endgame item at the end that was actually useful (not like in this game), so you felt rewarded.

Apart from that, I actually prefer this map system, even with its flaws, than no map system at all. Just imagine that.

I just don't get people who have spent numerous hours playing this game completely for free, to qq about anything.

Hedonistic adaptation. I wouldn't like to be in your place.

I've been watching the forums for quite a while, waiting for something that gives me a reason to load up the game an re-spec my characters. And so far, what I'm seeing is GGG doing more of the same stuff they've been doing since the game went "open beta". Every patch I, as well as others keep hoping for some real end game content, and then are disappointed when we get nothing but the same lame stuff. Remember when Dominus was added? What did GGG do? They decreased Piety's level and Dominus entered the game at the level Piety was.

So there was this tread;
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1249473
And people were all on the band wagon of how great A4 is...until I asked what level the maps of A4 are. When the reply came back, and I replied to it with how GGG LOWERED the maps of other acts to bring A4 in, the thread suddenly DIED. So unless GGG decides to change it from what's on the test table right now, I wouldn't expect ANYTHING to change with regards to real end game content.

I truly hope I'm WRONG! But, I'm not holding my breath...

You are wrong. The max level for Merciless has gone up to 70, and then, there are the level 82 maps.

The thread died naturally, you are quick to jump to conclussions.

Now that's the kind of information I was looking for someone to come back in with, in the other thread!

So I am indeed very pleased to hear that! Now I feel like I will have a reason to start playing again, when the patch goes live!

Many thanks NeroNoah!!!
