Where's the downvote option?

On Topic: Congrats on lv100! I can see it is well earned! Hopefully this thread becomes prominent enough so that new players can easily find it, as it will be very helpful to them
Sure, the lab can be hard, but it's pretty easy if you're properly geared, and not terrible at the game.
Grats man, although I love my 50 stash tabs. Just so much room for useless crap.
Nicely done. Congratulations.

Congrats on lvl 100.

Also, as you sounds like a rational person - can I ask you how do you think game will be improved, maintained, new content added, or even lets just consider server running cost... if all rational people think like you?

You really can stand behind your choice to not spend any money on the game you like so much and play 100s of hours?

Congratulations. Well written post. I don't have the patience to grind past high 80s, but I respect your efforts, especially while constrained by your family ethics.

Surely you can skip eating out once or twice to buy yourself a tab package, without offending your parents! It sounds like you have your life in great order, and spending 15 bucks isn't as much a luxury than spending hundreds of hours of your time gaming? Time is money friend!

Well. RPG games generally work on what psychologists call 'operand conditioning'.

Operand conditioning in the context of POE works by projecting a certain reward players can envision such that the player can easily foresee getting it but not easily practically get it. This can work both positively or negatively. A well calculated player can estimate how much he has to put into it and decide whether to hunt for the reward or quit the game completely. A poorly calculated player can be led to play out of belief and ragequit only in the very end. Examples are people aiming for level 100 and people aiming for a Shavronne wrappings drop.

Which is why GGG will not implement level 120 nor Paragon level anytime soon because people who see the reward as too distant will quit instead of play on. GGG has to be the angel to make the game fun for all of us to play but also the devil to ensure its own survival. We have seen how pure angel companies like THQ and Westwood collapsed which was undeserved for.

The trick to designing a good RPG game is to balance between operand conditioning and sophistication as close to the average intelligence of the population as possible. Why is that so? Highly intelligent people can decide whether the rewards are justifiable or not while those who are not that shrewd need more operand conditioning to tease them on. Which is why games like Dota will always live.

What GGG can do is to diversify the game a bit so that players who have already given up on the game due to various reasons still would like to stay for the other distractions this game can offer. Take example, simply copy Dota into this game. (This is also the only way to revive PVP in this game) Players use their hard earned gears and character to play Dota and the monsters killed offer slightly less experience. Therefore,

Maps + PVP = Dota

The only downside I see to this is that it will take GGG a lot of effort to implement considering how small they are as a company.

Heh, congrats Deadpeng. :D
Didn't have time to read the post, yet, but wanted to congratulate nonetheless.

At least he has a level 100 on any League..

Once you get a 100 on a non-Standard League, then you can talk. -_-

Gz on 100, what branch of theoretical physics you aim for?


I am doing condensed mattter physics. I have already found a mentor as well as a path to follow. So it is kind of already determined.


Ohh nice, i'm also aiming for condensed matter physics/computational physics in materials sciences, best of luck in your pursuit of phd.
