Map Changes in 2.0.4

Map Levels are now Tiers
There are 15 tiers of maps, from level 68 to 82 inclusive. We've struggled for ages with the confusion caused by this. Players expect to play maps of their level (which can be way too hard for them), or make arguments about that they're level 95+ and can't find a level 80 map. Players with backgrounds in contemporary MMORPGs expect to play content equivalent to their level.

This is actually a very good idea. I wondered for ages how to deal with this problem and it never occurred to me that MMORPGs are the problem again. But how about the level display inside the map, when you push the map overlay. Be sure to change this too. Otherwise player really feel this change is just a cover up.
However it will be a bit confusing for the regal recipe, i.e. itemlevel 75 drops start at trier 5 to 7(?). But i guess since the itemfilter this won't be much of a problem.

Regarding the regal recipe. Have you considered to higher the required level? 73 to 75 maps are so easy to sustain now and if you map at that level you drown in regals.

Anyway that's my feedback for now, everything else is awesome, as always

"An amazing accomplishment", "more fun for the community", a bunch of fluff to try and make us think getting to 100 means something. It doesn't. Getting to 100 is a personal accomplishment, not one that's shared with others. Nobody else cares if some random person gets to 100. Nobody will care if EXP rates dropped. Also, you don't get to say what's "fun for the community." You barely know the greater portion of your player base.

So basically this is the same old level, just reduced by 67. It just makes it more confusing for new players while old players will just calculate "effective map level" and will continue making all aforementioned complaints. I don't understand the point of this "change". Could someone enlighten me, please?

GGG logic = GGG balance = nonexistent... That explains perfectly all.

No, Chris is still playing drinking game where when he takes a sip from his shot glass, something has to be nerfed or broken.

Don't you dare nerf Stygian Revenants any further! :/

y'know, itemlevel=monsterlevel=maplevel(+1 or 2) so any player able to make arithmetic operations on numbers in range of 100 "will feel this change is just a cover up" anyway. Except they totally rework all item and crafting system, haha.

I just had another good idea.

How about you add a tagline to the game.

Path of Exile the Awakening
-This is not a MMORPG-

that would fix a lot of confusion actually

I exclusively play new standard leagues and the permanent standard league.
My highest lvl character is level 95 and I have more 5 in the 90's.

I have accepted never reaching lvl 100, since if I should die a lose 10% of my levels exp, I basically just waste an entire day. Which is something I can't waste having a regular job and other responsibilities.

The reward of those extra 5 skillpoints also feel lack-luster when you finally spent a month of 2 hour sessions, dying a few times, and then get to click a single skill-point that gives me 60 extra life or ES.

I'm certainly not one of the best players, but I'd like the game much more if everyone, not actively trying to make the game hard for themselves, were able to reach lvl 100 within a reasonable timeframe. After lvl 100, you could have something akin to "Paragon"-levels to incentivise the top tier players to compete for the top spots during seasons.

Kind regards

Remove ground effects until they are fully fixed. They add nothing that makes the game better, and the way they make the game worse is gamebreaking.

Also, when are you going to fix bloodline breaking Dominating Blow? Jesus...

Yay let's make lvling harder.. not that i like to spend 5ex/daily to roll maps....

What do you know... Catering to the top 1% again.
