GGG do not give in to the crying masses
|
A good government changes its laws not to benefit particular special interest groups, but because it is the just, fair, and right change to make. Principle becomes more important than people.
In the same way, I hope GGG doesn't base its choice on what the "crying masses" say, nor on what the people who opposed the "crying masses" say, but simply make the changes that are in the best interest of the game, regardless of what the When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" Interesting take... Didn't really looked at it that way. I don't necessarily disagree, but aren't most ARPGs grinders when it comes to the last "unattainable" tier of levels ? Or the quest for some specific items ? On the other hand, the whole evolution since OB feels quite "MMO'ish". I'm rather sad to see the prevalent "take more life", "your gear needs more Life". OK, Life IS important but I think a good template should be a multidimensional balance. Which is much harder to get than "take the best in stat A, then B" The thing is, going mostly with DPS vs Life is simpler and more immediately perceptible. But that's shallow. |

" No, they're not; your understanding of them, is. The number 5 is never touched nor seen, but it means a specific thing. "5" just so happens to be a very easy thing to understand; in comparison, "justice" is kind of like knowing pi to 100 decimal places in a world without calculators. The methods we use to approach difficult philosophical problems vary, because no solution so far has been 100% successful; however, the goal itself is objective. Fairness is fairness, justice is justice, regardless of whether we have it properly defined or not. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero.

" The problem with PoE is they innovated in some areas, and then downright copied game failures in other areas. The skill tree/gem system is innovative, but everything else they have copied from D2, and for better or worse, its actually causing the game more problems than its solving (because this game doesn't have some fundamentals that D3 DID have and some other things). The game currently is very extreme, content is ridiculously easy to faceroll with certain builds, and group play is way too beneficial compared to solo play (in terms of gameplay and loot) Last edited by deteego#6606 on Mar 12, 2013, 4:45:55 AM

All i am saying, is that GGG should stand by their original ideals, instead of pulling a blizzard. All of you know exactly what i mean so don't try to act so hard.
Elitist you call I, but based on what? Logical deductions of the truth? Come on. All of you know exactly what i meant reading that post, you are just hoping im another nabcake you can diss in your ever ongoing hunt for something to complain about. Elite is a word others have brought here, i did not use it because it does not relate to my message. Do you know, one time in the world there were a lot of specialty stores, many people specialized in one thing, focusing their energy on much fewer products, yet didn't have as large a costumer base? I am simply saying i wish for PoE to be a specialized product, for those who want this type of farming game. I don't want it to turn into a general store or ikea, which sells to more masses but has standardized goods which are not exactly bad, but are not of top quality either. Yameen? I am the light of the morning and the shadow on the wall, I am nothing and I am all. Last edited by Crackmonster#7709 on Mar 12, 2013, 7:20:09 AM

" You do realize that D3's changes had nothing to do with dumbing the game down for casuals, or appealing to the mass's, as you claim it did? |
|

If that is what you think, that no changes were made to reach out to a larger audience, then i will let you live with that illusion.

" Uh... FF series has been using this (for a long time ... sphere grid, materia ...). Just to give credit where it's due. Carry on. |
|
" A well-acknowledged source of inspiration. The innovation came in distilling FFX's Sphere Grid down to passives only and to allocate active skills to a gem system a la FFVII, and then applying this strange combination to an ARPG, where until this point the skill system has, from game to game, been pretty much the same thing: base stats (str, int, dex, vit, etc) and active skills you chose as you leveled up and unlocked them. When you take two separate ideas and put them together in a way that no one else has and make it work, that's the purest definition of innovation. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. Last edited by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Mar 12, 2013, 7:38:28 AM
