Why is this game so easy?

That's just how this game works. Run around over-geared blowing up trash in yellow maps without even thinking while all the challenging/interesting stuff is gated behind layers of rng and rarely worth running anyways because the rewards are usually worth less then the cost of the run. It's excellent game design.

HC : bullshit. ALT+F4 is an option and every egotisitcal "I'm hardcore bro" person who plays it. May as well play SC and put their inflated ego back in the drawer...

SSF : YES...and only because GGGs crafting system (even post crafting bench) is the core object of difficulty when going through content. No currency, no gear upgrades, no defenses, no damage, no life -> You're going to die to some level of BS...

If you want to SSFHC, it's still 50% since ALT+F4CORE, but at least you cut one leg off.


The midset depends on the player. If a player wants a harder challenge, and plays HC because of it, he can also avoid using alt+F4. Anyways, alt+F4 doesn't remove all dangers.

No matter how you turn the tables, HC is - in many ways - harder than regular league, because of the consequences. It is - in many ways - harder to make a fuctional, surviving character, than a glasscannon speed clearer. I don't play HC, because I still like the SC leagues. But if I found myself making a thread about "how easy this game is in SC", I would absolutely consider going HC or SSF, as those are the options we have now.

"Difficult" is subjective. So making a thread about the easiest leagues being "too easy" is just... Strange. If you want challenges, it's more than possible to seek them out.

If you think the game is too easy, there are two mods you can try out; SSF and HC. Both will make the game indirectly harder. Good luck.

And your point? We're talking about a player that wants a harder experience. Why the fuck would he seek out HC just to use a logout macro?

"/facepalm"...

Hardcore make it worse imo. People are farming easier content hours and hours then die when they try harder content. I don't see it making game "harder". It is just more time spent on easier content.

It makes it harder if you challenge yourself, the people playing HC with a macro shouldn't be playing HC, they should accept they are too invested to lose their character.

It definitely adds something but i'm not sure i'd describe my extensive tenure in HC as "harder", you have to build and play the game in a different way but pushing the limits feels hard on SC or HC. By that i mean if your doing content thats trivial for your build its trivial either way, if your doing content that is a real struggle for your build its challenging either way.

The game may not be harder, but the challenge is. But as you say, it's all about the mindset and to challenge yourself. And why someone would "cheat" when they challenge themselves, is beyond me.

People are saying this a lot in the thread, but I don't see atlas progression as "tough" or a an interesting challenge.

It's an RNG grind where you hope to eventually get the proper maps in time.

Waggle mentioned he wished he would have shared the guardian maps instead of the fragments, as that would have been more interesting to do those fights as well.

The way he did this challenge there's still some RNG in getting the gear, but it's more about the prep and knowing what's required to actually do the fights. Which I find much more interesting than "I hope the right maps drop before my time runs out"

Why you POE so easy?
There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands.
You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands.
