Level 100 just reached

Just got the "First to enter Shaper's Realm" message. We put too much emphasis on 100.

Meh, I wasn't going to get to 100 with the old XP, nerfing it post 95 won't really impact me either way.

Yes let's let casualitis invade this game and turn it into Diablo 3 were everybody can rush to max level in 4 hours. This casualitis is what ruined WoW and heck even Runescape. We aren't all born to be hardcore (myself included)

I'm sorry to be the one to burst your bubble but nothing about WoW or Runescape was ever hardcore. The fact is that WOW killed off MMO's making what was once a true hardcore gaming experience into a pure shitty time sink. As for POE and level 100 who cares. 100 equates to I got nothing better to do so I'll grind for a few extra days just to hit 100.


The thing I'll never understand how people think that a time sink somehow equals hardcore. It's not its just hard to find the time to grind unless you are a kid or the sit at home all day/night type cause someone is carrying you in real life. Boss fights are hard??? LOL no, mapping hard LOL just LOL nope, end game nope. Get a clue its a grinding game, OMG grinding is even part of the company's name... The IQ's just too much I guess but WTF does this old marine know.


BTW I have played this game on and off from closed beta nothing about was ever hardcore this is a casual game the twist is its time sink.

People are aware that in a context of a ladder, level 100 is a goal that is a time-sink for people to reach since they are limited by the time of the ladder.

The goals of level 100 should be to encourage people to keep playing to 100 without enough content to pad them there slowly. Most people don't reach level 100 since it gets boring after level 95 without any more gear to hunt or harder content to do.

It's not "hardcore" if you can tolerate being bored to death :V With the release of war of the atlas that might push people more to 100 with the new item hunt or stuff but we'll see in 2 months.

if they don't want people to reach 100 only thing they can do is make 99 to 100 require 15x as much exp:')

or make the first 10 days solo self found, that should slow them without screwing everything in the long run.

It took them 5 days and 3 hours to 5 days and 12 hours to get level 100, that equates to around 120 hours, a league lasts 3 months, that is 90 days. Lets do the math friends!!

120 hours / 90 days (2160 hours) * 24 = 1.333...

This means that you need to play every day for 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to level 100! WOW so "uncasual" and hard and time consuming. If you only play on weekends and have a blast playing video games, it is (1.33 * 3.5 = 4.6666) 4 hours and 40 minutes per weekend day of gaming, that means you can have a full and fulfilling "social" life of yours and still reach level 100, but wait? You are a fucking filthy casual and are worse at playing videogames than out supreme racers? Dont worry, multiply their time by 2 to get a time you can play with, 3 hours a day or 9 hours each day on weekends.

Or you could just enjoy the game for what it is for you! Level 100 is a milestone for the people who are dedicated and have time knowledge of patience, teamwork to achieve a goal like that! Its not meant to be done by everyone. So most of you should just drop the subject, or if you want to discuss it, use some common sense!

Now that's a brilliant idea.

I'd also like a new league called "Starvation" or whatever, where there's no rare and unique items. Only whites and blues. That would be very funny to play :)

By the way, anyone knows what build BoBo_RankOnePigSlayerCN has been playing to level so fast ?

PoE max level is 90. Anything more is just busy work for ego points.

Yeah... I never look beyond 90.

As for this league, I'm no longer looking. I'm out.
Abyss mobs move like squirrels on street drugs and every hit causes slow. Get crammed into a tiny arena with an ever increasing body count of hasted rares and no where to go. I've seen the boss fights... the 'shove them into ever smaller arenas against ever tougher bosses' meta is going strong with GGG. Works great for ancestral call firebomb builds but for anything else... it's pretty much instant death. Survivability, no matter how you go about it, is completely out.

My experience since being in maps is that Ive spent about 25c on my gear, 20c of that was a shield, and Ive facetanked every map boss, every abyss, every lich and the 4 elder guardians all blind without a single death. Went in against elder essentially blind, ripped it twice before I worked out the little tentacle mobs spawn the degen ground by themselves and u need to kill them asap or the fight becomes impossible, then walked through it deathless the 3rd time once I knew what i was doing.


There was no instant death, defences work just fine.

The weird thing is, these nerfs will never hit the hardcore guys hard at all. It'll just take another day or two at most to reach 100. All they're doing is ensuring no one BUT the streamers/groups will get anywhere near 100. I thought they were aiming the nerf at the hardcore though..?

yeah, theyre making them take another day or 2, thats the intention. It was never the intention that the people who were not going at it like crazy would ever reach 100 and it was never the intention to stop the people who were crazy enough to get there from getting there, just to make it take a little longer.
