No man, it is not your opinion. I totally get that you would like this game to be challenging. Cool for you if you had a bit of fun you. Really, If it would be optional in the sense of "make it how hard you choose yourself and you can always bail out if you overdid it" i would have loved for this to stay in the game. My hardcore gaming days are over, but more power to you.

Nice words aside, how you state your opinion is what riles people up. Because you comment in the most rude, condescending, and toxic manner I have seen in a long, long time.

Or in other words:

WAT?

you confuse 2 points.

my liking the syndicate difficulty is just opinion.

the rest went FAR beyond that and was proven with someone who hates me and called me a liar partied with me and witnessing it.

tl;dr - facts are "toxic," calling people a liar/troll/etc is fine.

even after the false accusations were PROVEN false.

lolz

This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about with regard to why everyone thinks you're a troll. You completely and intentionally misrepresent the situation as if it makes you appear clever, but people just groan at the idiocy of such a statement.

...you're both pot and kettle here.

i'm not even kitchenware.

"intentionally misrepresent" - kind of like repeated strawman and false accusations, no?

you just accused me of that which... you did. and funny enough, i didn't. this isn't rocket surgery.

That's another thing. You cry "straw man" at everything, but are almost never correctly using the term. How do you expect to be taken seriously?

this one's my favorite accusation.

you keep insisting this. and yet, you keep doing it. funny enough, even now. your argument is great... if i had actually misrepresented. since i didn't, it's just... strawman!


but what do i know? i'm just the "troll" and "liar" who 'can't get into red maps' and 'can't actually handle syndicate encounters,' right?

...right?

Safe house fights are a joke because you kill the boss before his henchmen port in, there are no ads and the other map crap doesn't distract you.

Its almost like we are so powerful we need to be distracted and receive cheap hits if we want to ever die.

also no map mods, that one is huge

one of these threads eh?

I agree with this poster, DON"T NERF SYNDICATE DAMAGE (with the exception of tora because I think that's just a straight up bug)

ggg is catering to all the hardcore players that play path of logout. we need challenging contents in the leagues, I do agree with everything else in the patch however

there is a point in gating contents behind harder challenges, if you guys nerf syndicate damage you might as well nerf uber elder so people wearing 5c gear can farm him deathless

Those weren't my accusations against you. I'm sure you can, if you're not being lazy. But you did misrepresent it. Nobody said facts were toxic, except you, in an attempt to misrepresent it. That's not a straw man at all. That's actually what happened.

I'm sure I've explained this to you before, but just to clarify, a straw man is when you twist/distort an argument into something that it isn't (to make it appear weaker than it is) in order to try to win against that now deformed argument. There's nothing about what I've said that fits this criteria. This is why I keep insisting that you don't know what it means. However, you and a few others around here continually done this to people who found the extreme health sponge and one-shots to be out of line with the rest of the content by attacking their builds instead of acknowledging the challenge disparity. Textbook straw man right there.

Lastly, we consider you a troll because you refuse to acknowledge when you fuck up. You blame everyone else and deny any fault that rightfully rests with you. Don't expect anyone to engage with you on an intellectual level when your behavior makes it impossible to regard you with any credibility whatsoever.

Yeah.


As much as I don't like how the author is often trolling, I can't go against the thread, as he is basically right, and that most people who have been complaining against syndicate members pretty much just have un-optimized/un-balanced builds and are crying because the syndicate members are punishing them for it.

Maybe they are learning from Delve regarding that ?

I yolo shield charged into a syndicate stronghold in a ilv80 map zone with my goldrims hat and tabula rasa and I exploded.

GGG PLEASE NERRRRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
