Probably the most accurate description about how the game has felt for quite some time.

Lately GFL featured Kripp, saying that "Mr. Variaty-Streamer" can't play this game. GGG done quite a job here.

The party play point is right though.

Game atm is VERY single player focossed. Playing is party is far too messy and if u have a summoner (on this league half of players are...) it becomes a lag fest

Ah and blight maps tend to crash the instance too depending on the build of players.

Yeah its very sad that I invited my friends to play but rly we cant play together cause lag and gpu melting...

Screen clutter is by far my number 1 problem with this game. Cleaning the screen can solve a lot of other issues too like the one shots that u cant see etc.

I can call PoE anything but "sophisticated" is not the right term. Disco Elysium - now thats different story.

game got substantially nerfed when someone built the pathofbuilding (PoB) tool.

you start it, simply load some build you find behind a url posted in a forum by a popular player and you're good to go.

it tells you everything you have to aquire and how to organise it for your build.

it reduced the thinking and experimenting process of a huge percentage of the playerbase to a pure copypasta shitfest.

sure, it also enables you to optimise your builds but even that is reduced to a pure "shaper DPS"-meter which is obviously all that counts nowadays.

when we had interesting discussions about builds in forums before, you now see someone showing an exceptional build, people just asking "pub?" and the guy posting the build and then silence and no feedback.

you just farm currency to eventually buy the items you need according to what your PoB tells you.

This is due to the fact, that the game is too complicated and it punishes everyone who make a bad decision in their builds.
For example if you made a wrong call on your passive skill tree, you already lost ~100-150c to fully refund it... That is the BS in itself considering all the work you needed to get there + all the possible customization you can make...

If every mechanic in the game would be capable of the same outcome at the end of the game everything would be by far better.. Nowadays there is just a random bottlenecks put on most of the mechanics, so there are like ~2 different good builds for each character, everything else is just shit show...

would be easily achievable by capping a player's overall damage output and scaling monster life against that cap.
