GGG & Kripp - Why?

He played it for 3 days solid and had a blast. He didn't rip into the game; he just didn't like labyrinth. People who had never heard of poe before will now play it and some will get hooked.

What more are you asking for? He give up his hearthstone day job (income) so he can be "true to his roots"?

And it is same with start of game, everything so easy now, no need to spam totems to attract monsters 1 by one. Now it is all glass canon lol.

I totally agree it's easier just wanted to point out that pre 2.0 it wasn't even that hard. My main motivation for actually getting that toon to 100 was that the build was fun and rumours of it possibly getting harder after the Awakening. The characters that I never got to 100 that you mentioned i.e. My Ranger and Scion was due to not being able to play as much back then, and that's simply what has always been needed, time. I did wish I had got my Marauder though after Witch, but you can only play so much til you're sick of looking at the game or simply burnt out, which is what I see in Kripp's face when he currently streams. It looks like torture ...

You seem very confused about why it is easier to get to 100 now than it was before. It has little to do with the actual difficulty of the game but rather with the multiple changes to the map system throughout the years. You now things like ... bigger maps, mazed maps, greatly increased map drops and especially higher level maps ( compared to before ), much higher level maps giving much more experience ... etc.

All that does not make the game easier by itself it just allows you to gain experience faster than before because of the level and availability of the maps ... it has nothing to do with the game difficulty.

This is true I guess, game options are more and so it is easier to level. I remember using 30 chaos/maps to get maze. I remember 1 level 77 maps cost 1ex lol... It was 2ex/maps investment and no zana mods.

When did you actually quit PoE?

I quit after bloodline. I really like Beyond first 2 weeks when nothing was nerfed and people dying a lot. Every now and then I was login POE, look standard and log off so I erased everything because better things to do than looking trade chat.

Bloodline was boring and easy... But thread is not about me haha.

BTW what happened to GOMI? Guy was richest in POE lol

Kripp never said he would play the released version, that's a given, even in Awakening he only played the Alph/Beta, and that was that. He just goes on when there's new content, plays a few days, then goes back to whatever he's doing.

No one thought he'd play release.

77 map map was 4/5 ex back in the day(and then Ton of chaos sometimes 50+ to get maze+decent mod) in open beta when its took few month to get 100.

You had other character you tried to go 100 but stuck at 93-95, then you did witch and went 100.You wanted 100 in a time there was no domination mods on maps and it was slower.
Then with rotation and zana mods you did 100 easier. We played all same doing 76-77 to grind level 100 without zana mods and boxed. Game became easy after boxes and mods for getting 100.


My point, nowadays it would take you less because the game is easier. And Kripp is bored from POE also because game is easier.


And it is same with start of game, everything so easy now, no need to spam totems to attract monsters 1 by one. Now it is all glass canon lol.

Kripp is bored from poe because the game is easier ? Lol 10/10 joke...

Now kripp have other thing to do than play video game 20 hours a day he want get as much as money as possible so he play Hearstone, in poe he had like 6K in Hearstone its 20k+ and dont say yesterday in alpha poe he got 20 babla its just because the the alpha, at poe release if he stay the number will reduce everyday when ppl will realise he not play hs anymore.

He also probably get as much as money as possible because streaming isnot a secured job


And mob one by one with totem ? Its never happened.

Yes the game was harder befor(unless you play T14 15 map without dumb broken support), but it wasnt that hard. But yes the last league was really bad even with average shitty gear everyone will destroy map.

Other problem is lot of ppl say they want challenge in forum and but in fact they dont want challenge at all in HC league lot of ppl skip all challenge they pay for each boss and farm only easy as fuck map with 0 chance to die unless they fall asleep

So instead of getting the commercial of 20k viewers GGG now managed to get a bad review from the guy, wich will now drive away a few players instead of getting new ones. And a catastrophe in a marketing standpoint. I always wonder how a company like GGG can keep growing with all the really marketing crappy decisions they keep making.

Next time maybe you wont invite a big streamer who already quit your game.
