I know i know, its their playground and their rules...why cant you just put a message pop-up before a player posting like " there's no freedom of speech here, your opinion might be deleted because it might not be as same as our point of view, suck me"

This forum is the freest forum I've ever seen.
I'm guessing Charan's posts were deleted at his request.


so free you can't post about politics anymore

Sorry i don't understand SC jokes


You're allowed to be elitist. Though, it would look a little better if you had any achievements to back it up. Everyone can play hardcore. But clearly, not everyone achieves things in hardcore.

See you on the flip side :)


Nice try really, but i don’t play for achievements, i play for the feels that HC gives me, which SC clearly is not as near for that.
I can achieve anything in SC, but what’s the point if it doesn’t make me feel that “thing”?
Killing shaper in SC is not an achievement whatsoever

I like when my heart beats like im about to die irl, that makes me feel alive
great as if that 666 page thread wasnt enough now there is another one

Thank you sir, now i see the picture
But if PoE is becoming more of a “not what he expected “, yet it’s becoming quite popular, #1 ARPG out there - could just it be his subjective vision of what is right, he admitted that PoE is going the right way with deleting his whole history here?
I tried once again D3/ GrimDawn - not as close as what is POE


Of course Charan's vision of what he wanted from the game was/is subjective. So is everybody's vision, including Chris Wilson's. There is no objectively good way for the game to go. There are objectively profitable ways, but profitability is not even slightly a measure of a game's quality. Only its saleability.

Charan wanted the Path of Exile of yesteryear - a dangerous, gritty game of tense survival and resource management, where any given critter on any given map could be your end if you didn't respect it. The Path of Exile of nowadays, the boom-and-zoom Pack Exploder where you can end two thousand critters on one map in less than two minutes before blitzing the boss down in less than three seconds, is not even slightly the game he helped fund into success years and years ago.

Frankly, Chris and co are on record as wanting to get closer to that earlier ideal themselves. Chris has stated that in a perfect world, the game wouldn't even have a softcore mode and your characters would self-delete on death. But dozens and dozens of Incremental Improvements(TM) have gotten us to this point, and the game's financial success has kept us at this point.

It is what it is. Charan, for all his investment, is no more able to fight it than anyone else. Even Chris.

Good for you!

But why are you going out of your way to bash on SC players, if you play HC only for the "feels"? I mean, your post history is full of teenage-like elitism towards players choosing a different league than you. If you play for the "feels", and to to achieve/prove something, why the need to act like a [Removed by Me]?
Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.
Charan is become something of a dog whistle for nostalgic gamers who want to pretend to be 'old school' poe supporters, who really know how the game should be developed and played, and pretend some sense of superiority and/or knowledge. At least, that is what it has become. Charan's actual posts were rarely that way.


Most of these forum warriors are probably in their teens and still think their opinion matters or people care what experience they have in the game, as if playing a set amount of time in their own style relates to wisdom in courting an international audience of gamers who care nothing about how poe 'used to be', or why you think D3 is bad.

Nice explained. I do share his preference and think that the game became TOO fast and too f... errr u got the point. Like movies or other medias these days u need to apeal to the masses to succeed and people like explosions, particles, collor, speed etc. Well the devs expressed that they want to slowdown the game but they dont know how to do it...

Maybe they find a middle term between zoom zoom and slow dungeon crawler or somehow adapt both playstyles idk. Even with the atm problems this game still the best arpg on market (my opinion) and it is clear that chriss, jonathan and crew loves the game so I still have hope for the future 4.0, poe 2, 3, 4, 5 hehe

This is actually the opposite, his posts were deleted because he asked, so that's his speech.
He also owns a batman jet and an ironman suit, but he gets cross if I tell him that.
Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs.
We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.

I find it odd, you waste your time browsing me, searching for "that fucking shit to point it up to me", why? I just said "i dont understand SC jokes sorry", did it hurt you so much? Im sorry no jokes if that really did, not even 1% of it was "mad hc elitist tries to teabag sc players"

I'm just jerking around when i write stuff like mr.hardcore elitist666
Because its freaking funny bro that's it, i'm NEVER meaning ANYTHING personal to anybody.
In real life im a good guy who always care and always filter on what he says (i'm trying really)
But this is a game, let me be pile of shit sometimes
One cannot be nice 24\7, you gotta be an asshole sometimes. Balance bro

When someone makes a topic like "yay i killed shaper deathless...in SC"
In my mind im like - nice he did what he wanted, he fulfilled himself, nice"
In the forum im like - SC LEL

Since im playing HC only, let me make some fun out of it, by typing too.

I have a real life friend who plays SC (tried HC but cba really), we make fun of it everytime. He piss me off, i piss him off with my hardcore elitist shit, we laugh and that's it.
Don't judge me hard, everyone is a pile of poop at some point, sometimes.
