Don't nerf Syndicate encounters

wait, you're actually pretending to give me a map again?

i said ok like a full day ago and then you said you didn't even have any.

I'm not pretending, it's real. Tell me your in game name if you want to fine tune the details there. We will post a picture with you being on T15 Desert Springs next to the dead Syndicate members, so everyone will know that you are not just lying through your teeth here.

Also, maybe you missed my question for the second time, so here it is for the third time: Did you kill the Syndicate mastermind yet? Yes or no?

Alright, I do not claim to be able to understand this forum game that is going on here, but to my knowledge, so far I have not missed any league. I played far before leagues existed in the first place.

And to my knowledge, there was never before such huge disparity between perceived "SPS" (~Spikes per second, my own invention) of league content and rest of the content. The "OTFH" rate is high as well (~"Oh that frikkin hurt")

I remember some Invasion bosses being ridiculous, but then, I do not remember anyone objecting against smoothing them out over time. It almost feels that now, there is some "make this game hardcore, fringe only" radical movement going on on the forum, probably as a reaction to "go for more profit, go more casual" movement's partial successes of late.

I honestly cannot imagine, how someone can view the damage spikyness right now "challenging". Is this really the way game should challenge us? I believed in better way once. GGG knew better once.

I am still waiting, how this battle for game's soul will turn out.

unreal.

i asked what gateway you're on YESTERDAY - never got an answer.

it's as if that's kind of a pre-req.

'join my instance and kill my syndicate for me. oh, btw, the ping is an unstable 100-900ms!'

hence, why i thought you were giving me a map to run.

I am. You don't have to be on my realm, I don't care if I am lagging, as I will only check whether you killed the syndicate or not.

Hey rob, let's try it for thr fourth time, shall we: have you killed the mastermind? :)

why would this even prove anything? I mean, rob is whiteknighting for ggg all the time and acting as if he is playing this game while listening to music and watching netflix. he acts as if nothing in this game can even remotely challenge him and therefore he likes the betrayal encounters.

which makes me assume the following: either he is talking nonsense out of his behind or he is not an average gamer, but a hardcore grinder who knows how to farm up gear in record speed. there are lots of players like that. what unites these kind of players is that they have insane amounts of time to invest into farming and grinding games like this one. so I would assume he or they play at the very least 8 hours, sometimes as much as 10, 12 or 14 hours daily.

these omeganerds shouldn't be the standard candle when deciding how to balance the game obviously. if you tell me that I need to play 14 hours daily and grind the heck out of the game and than I need to have played this game since forever to know how and where to grind as efficiently as possible while preferably playing top tier meta builds only, I would tell you to fugg off.

repeatedly dodges the pertinent, pre-req question.

repeatedly asks a question irrelevant to this.

doesn't get the irony.

right. i play 14 hours/day.

hahaha.

state an obvious claim about defenses in poe and watch the collective meltdown. defense? UNPOSSIBLE! t15? hell no! plays "14 hours daily!"

it's interesting to read that i'm watching netflix, too. i didn't even know i still had a subscription. better cancel that, brb!

There is no pre-req question, because we do it on your gateway.

Also, rob, are you brave enough to admit now that you haven't even killed the mastermind yet?

See guys, here is rob, who is afraid to take on a syndicate encounter on a t15 map, and who did not even defeat the mastermind, despite having no problems with the syndicate.

If you see someone being as big as a troll he is, always check their profile. He can hides his characters, but he can't hide his challenges. There are people who doesn't even have a character in betrayal yet defend the Syndicate. Really telling.

sure thing buddy, you never even said anything except "get your defenses straight" ever. never ever did you say "git gud" to anyone ever.

also, you play max 2 or 3 hours a day. you are an absolute average gamer and totally not a white knighting ggg addict.

sure thing, I absolutely believe you. enjoy your day my casual friend.

You are absolutely right, but his challenges and hidden profile (for pvp btw xd) gives it away that he is lying right now. I wouldn't challenge that Anonymous guy for example, because he seems legit.

Also, GGG will nerf the Syndicate, so it's not like it's up to this. I just want to bring it to the public what a lying and coward person he is, so they know to treat him for what he is: a bad troll.

I mean, look at him: he is afraid to even answer whether he killed the mastermind or not :D
