Vast majority of your problems would stop existing if you sucked it up and stopped playing HC.

HC was be and prob will never be balanced in PoE, so honestly I have no idea why your torturing yourself.

Don't think it has anything to do with HC. Maybe I am wrong, have no comparison to SC.
The zana 8 challenge has shown me again why the boards to find (public) partys are for trade only nowadays. The whole community has already turned away from the social aspect of party play.

On the one side I always read here on the forum 'trade challenges' are necessary, because they bring people together... but on the other side the main part 'partys' which really connect people together is a mess... and the solution I've read here multiple times of people I do no reply to because it's a waste of time: don't take part in it. cooL story :D

Peace,

Almost all of his points is about dying in bullshit in HC. It's much easier to enjoy the game if your not constantly dying to bullshit, thus you play softcore.

Has nothing to do with the HC vs SC or anything else in the game.

re: "Noone forces you to play the meta"

Well the game does. For example try getting past cruel arena without a huge aoe skill that kills everything quickly (In a fresh HC league).

Don't try to argue with these guys, they don't get it :>
... I am saying 'party play is fucked' and they keep saying 'no one forces you to play the meta' >.>
... as if it makes any difference which build I am playing >.>
... the meta isn't a build ... it's what GGG offers us to play with x.X

... and when I say 'a party with 6 people is clusterfuck and there is no time to check mods'
... the counter-argument is 'I have 0 problems playing solo therefore you should have 0 problems too'


I mean... WTF!? Really? xD

I have 0 problems in 6 man parties. I don't party with people that just RUNRUNRUN. Those idiots get killed.

NO ONE FORCES YOU TO PLAY THE META. YOU CHOOSE IT. THIS IS AN INCONTROVERTIBLE TRUTH. Apologize for the trite caps = emphasis, but my fucking god, get it through your head. YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY THAT WAY.

You are right on one point, it makes no difference what build you play. Looking at mods is an inherent decision made by the person holding the mouse, regardless what build you are using.

But seriously, please please please please tell me this:

When you open up Path of Exile, log on to your account, select a character and enter the game. What does the game do that FORCES you to play a certain way? How does it give you NO CHOICE AND NO CONTROL OVER YOUR ACTIONS?

Does GGG have mind control rays?

Eeeerm... the game isn't any different in SC, it's the same 'bullshit' you are dying too (how you call it). Seeing SC players their builds create even more clusterfuck, not less o.O ... the party board in SC is spammed with junk too instead of looking for partys.

You die to bullshit in SC, you lose some XP that matters after 90+

You die to bullshit in HC, you lose your entire character and ragequit.

Like there is an obvious difference what happens when you die.

SC builds and party board in SC has nothing to do with my point that if your going to rage to the bullshit deaths in HC, just play SC. Path of exile is not a balanced hardcore game.

I give up. You really think the penalty is what annoys me!? x.X WTF!?

The game is a fucking 1-button-spamfest-don't-care-about-mob-mods-because-kindergarten-difficulty and I am for a less flashy, slower-paced overall gameplay where each encounter matters! 10% XP penalty is a joke to start with ... it makes me care even less about any mob mod.

I have no idea why you think my post was directed at you or has anything to do with what you feel about the game or how you want to play the game or what do you care about the game.

It was obviously directed to the OP about how he feels about bullshit deaths in the game in hardcore.

Like seriously you are funny.

Seeing people that defends insta kill mechanics, makes clear how disgustingly LOW it's the experience level of certain players of PoE. Only a NOOB that doesn't understand A "BIRD" of video games can defend such mechanics

There are no instakill mechanics. Just people who make timed kill mechanics instakill because they don't adjust their playstyle. Keep moving away from corpses and bearers will never get you. The corpses don't follow you. If you can't react because you didnt look at the mods or can't see the explosion radius getting brighter before it explodes, then move away from every corpse. If you are already a distance, don't move towards the corpse right away.
