Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - GGG do not give in to the crying masses - Forum

Oh boy, I leave to go home and play POE and this thread has gotten so much bigger. Personally, I'm just curious to see as to where this game is heading. Yes, this game has changed drastically from CB - not always for the better but such is the way things in life are. Maybe I can get some of the other older CB players, including my bud Charan, to pipe up on this observation. Does it seem to you that the monsters may have gotten "stronger" and the player abilities much weaker? Just entered Act III for the first time last night and I've noticed a dramtic "shift"/change in the npc's - kind of reminds me of going from hell to inferno in D3. Just some observations and curious on yours so far... The Pope quit, a meteor fell on Russia, an asteroid came close to the earth, there's snow in Arizona, star wars and star trek have the same director! Who the hell is playing jumanji?

And then a pile of guys try to one-up each other in "hardcoreness" and detestation of "casuals". To prove they're "part of the proud few". It reminds me of some threads about rogue-likes... Where the local "hardcores" were explaining how games should only be played in green ASCII on black (to mimic prehistoric monitors) and then got into fights about how many lines of characters you could display to stay true to the original spirit. There's a huge difference between wanting deep, complex systems and a gameplay hard to master for the challenge... And making a fetish of ANYTHING that can keep the "dumb masses" away. Because, while in the first case you're just enjoying beinh challenged by the game... In the second you're just desesparately trying to be a "special snowflake". Which, frankly, no on cares about. And anyway, there's no black and white divide between people. Not only do terms like "hardcore" and "casual" cover a continuum, but no two people agreee about what EXACTLY they entail. Playtime ? Taste for complexity ? Resistance to boredom ? Apart from being "Us" vs "Them", that is. Whoever "We" might be. So, wherever you draw the line, it WILL be a compromise. Tuned to a smaller population, sure, but yet a compromise. mindless casual trollsheep spotted Irony. And hilarious. For someone who is 'mindless', he's a lot more eloquent and on topic than you are.

Devs have ideas, present them to the community, which offers feedback, which is processed by the devs and then decisions are made on how to improve the content. It is just like lobbyism in the US. Keep applying pressure and influence will arise. The magnitude depends on the level of resistance of the establishment.

OP is faulty in his assessment since he claims that free loot,no damage numbers etc. is hardcore and not brainless. Also, nobody except GGG themselves know what their vision is, so stop patronizing. They'll do what they think is right Last edited by thrice#2192 on Mar 12, 2013, 12:48:38 PM	Posted by thrice#2192 on Mar 12, 2013, 12:48:23 PM Quote this Post
Two guys backing one another trying to show how pro they are and how everyone else, who dares to disagree with them is mindless sheep (btw. I feel like you are totaly overusing that phrase). Now go ahead and call me nubcake. That's basically what you have been doing for these 18 pages anyway... Also, care to explain to me why floating numbers are goign to make this game easier? I've always thought that it was kind of "elitsm tool" to measure each others e-peen (you know in case when you could see dmg from other members of your party). Not even mentioning that these floating numbers are kind of combat log which is yet another tool to measure your awesomeness (a.k.a. true dps).

Veiled threats about entering your 'circumference' do not a linguist make. I am one of these near-casual gamers you speak of. I was once a much more dedicated gamer, but life has caught up with me and I have other responsibilities. I would like to see the game change, but I want it to be in a way that will not anger all of the hardcores. There are solutions to the problems being faced that will benefit both parties. You can remain blind to this if you want, but the fact remains. The loudest cries are from those who cannot see that good change can come.

To the OP Arpgs are known for being no-skill games, that's why many of older ppl (including me) play it. Actually PoE demands zero skill to play it. There are no timing/cooldowns managing needed here, there are no prediction based skills (quick example d2 frozen orb), you need a bit precision but it's due to fucked up hitboxes on some mobs. You just spam everything you have and that's it. Hardly a skill. PS: FFA loot still rocks	Posted by ness#1383 on Mar 12, 2013, 2:24:53 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

They'll do what they think is right When you learn to read, you will find that hardcore was used to describe the game, listed among other attributes such as free loot etc. That you should read and think each listed attribute is equal something entirely different it is your problem and you know it if you think a little.

Well you may not care that i do not take you seriously, but you should heed your own advice and take me a lot less seriously.. getting all worked up like that, thinking i am maximum extreme etc. Would be best for you to take a sit on the side here while i shift the Aether.
