If you partied you'd see that a lot of these claims ITT and on these forums about dps and clearspeeds are wild exaggerations. This is coming from somebody that likes to wildly exaggerate, but good lord. It's like there's not a point worth making that isn't also worth wildly exaggerating.

??? what the hell are you basing this on. some random scrub dl parties? if you go to a public party that runs high level maps (t11+) you're not gonna do SHIT unless your effective range covers at least the whole screen. if you're melee, tough shit. you're not touching anything.

i hate public parties because of this. the only reason i occasionally join them is because i like the concept of an aurabot and have one of those for myself. and it obviously can't run maps solo. on that note, one of my previous setups was using dying breath and i was actually struggling to keep up with the parties when everyone either had million movespeed or dagger and whirling blades.

Well, yes. I mean, we're talking about EVERYBODY skullcrushing with dps and clearspeed, not JUST high level characters that are fine tuned with the right support gear, jewels and jewelry and etc.

Games too fast. Guys got a point. It all comes down to money my friend and slowing the leveling process down unbalances the game all over the place.

If this were D&D lvl 20 is epic and you've got it all, but hell it takes a while to get there. Here, lvl 90 (the end game) takes 2 days for hyper-senpais, maybe 3-4 for nerds and about 2 weeks for casuals. I guess its how fast you make it.

Game it's too fast and too easy...
When I join in the middle 2014 took me one entire week reach level 65, of course then I wasn't know any game mechanics, Forsaken Master was released and everything was new to me.
But I enjoy that week, every new zone to explore, find the Waypoints, unique monsters hard to kill.
Today I reach level 65 at second day (depending on how many hours could be earlier).
In perandus league I reach level 90 at third day, why bothering with the story and the acts, 2 days and I was doing maps, 3 days and I was doing T13 maps... I dont like the new direction of Path of Exile.

indeed.

I have 0 idea why everyone is complaining that the game is "fast and easy" when is directly inspired by Diablo 2.

Which is fast and easy.

Also the longer you play Path the easier it is, it doesn't magically stay the same difficulty or take the same time for you to do stuff.

You may take 30 hours to beat dark souls the first time struggling, but every run after that is much less the time and much easier.

What people are actually complaining about is everyone is getting too powerful too fast. Would be a byproduct of all of you guys in the forums complaining about PoE is too "hardcore" and you should keep buffing/allowing players to obtain the strength of the "no lifers" within a reasonable amount of time. Obviously, if we allow the game to be accessible/convenient for everyone, the amount of time you play for an invested player would put you way above the curve in achievements/power then before.

Now you have a D2 type of game.

oh, you're considering builds that aren't complete as well? well, i guess that's understandable considering how slow you are.

and yes, i know how slow you are ;) we happened to be in the same party in standard, you ended up saying how your ping was too high and you couldn't keep up (lel) while i could keep up just fine with my ping averaging somewhere around 300-400.

I think that you've never played D2 offline alone. Because D2 isnt a fast game at all: if you have played only in the battlenet, then you don't know anything about D2.
Hell just to reach lv70 in D2 would have took you away an entire month of game lol.

You might be talking about D2 pre-expansion with few patches but the game is very fast now. (Technically has always been since it's been in the past)

Also you can beat the game naked in D2 ~.~ Or if your going to do it 3X over, do it under 20 hours solo off-line with no help or trading.

The devs are also directly inspired from D2 online battle-net with the latest patch/expansion. I have no idea why would you bring up older versions of D2 like it was the ones devs are inspired by.

Also I like it how if I don't fit within your "definition" of a D2 player, then I'm not one at all. Just like the vast majority of other people who played D2 (because obviously D2 wasn't one of the best hit multiplayer game as well), a true Scotsman argument if we have one here.

Especially since you know we have a 100% online only ARPG based on trading/economy/playing with your friends.

C'mon, we all know that shit was broken as a rattle. If PoE was meant to be a carbon copy of the entire thing from the start and they announced it I don't think they'd get half the backers they did.

They promised a spiritual successor to D2 or an upgrade version of D2.

Looks like exactly as promised, though not to say D2 was perfect or anything but we did get what we ask for.

People's rose tinted glasses/lack of memory/didn't actually play the game the way most other people did/misinformation may have them not understand what they were asking for, but as of current this was exactly an upgraded D2 would be like.

If people wanted a ground-breaking ARPG moved the genre forward (this is not it), or a slower paced ARPG (go play grim-dawn) I have no idea why they would back a game that literally said "fans of D2 that played a ton of online want to make a arpg".

Don't get me wrong here, D2 was atrocious in many standards ;V Not fixing the 1-100 progression and gameplay element D2 had is really biting them in the butt right now. Since PoE wants players to strive for 100 but design the game based off D2 which vast majority of people 90+ just botted there killing baal over and over.
