Please, introduce Awakening levels beyond A8 to challenge uber-builds (e.g. >200M DPS)

Hopefully this will never happen, since this will completely murder this game's purpose. You should be absolutely able to trivialize the game with enough currency, otherwise there isn't any point of even upgrading the build.

What should be done, is that they should not balance around multiple mirror builds at all. If you can invest even a single mirror into the build, it should totally faceroll everything in the game tbh, farming a mirror takes long enough.

They should balance around 10-100ex builds at max.

What purpose? I don't remember seeing GGG anywhere stating the game's intention is to become so godly that you can just 1shot anything and everything. Additionally, there's no reason why you can't trivialize the game at 2m DPS compared to the average 1m build without making the game so difficult that 500k builds can't be viable compared to what we have right now.

By nerfing 200m+ DPS builds down to 2m, GGG will have to also nerf mobs, bosses, and league mechanics. I doubt they'd continue to expect a 1m-2m DPS build to feasibly tackle juiced T14+ maps that have Incursion or whatnot.

I already answered in the edited post to this.

Their boss/resistance buff never targeted 200m+ DPS builds. Those builds are working exactly the same way. You were able to faceroll T16 and Shaper with Tabula and random rare wands from leveling before those changes, which was the problem. They addressed it by making the progression from T1 to T16 more noticeable.

It's not like right now you need an aurastacker to clear everything in the game. There isn't a single encounter which requires it. You can clear most of the content with regular build (see poe.ninja/builds). Aurastacker is just very powerful and expensive luxury.

counter argument..

cap damage done to sirus too 1m per second and make these stupid unbalanced damage builds pointless.

challenge then becomes -- fighting the boss without instant phasing it.

game is already tooo no life, lets stop making it more.

You basically introduced a scuffed version of the floating point system. Like... why. Not only does this have a worse performance than just using long long, you now have to deal with a completely new problem of accuracy errors.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

Do you not understand how floats work? Floats are literally an adaptation of the scientific notation concept.... like not only did you try reiventing the wheel, the "wheel" in this case, the float, was an obvious but bad solution hence neither me nor sid tried suggesting this.

how about that: better revert powercreep an nerf op builds like aurastacker and 100 es delve?

I don't know why you are putting Sid in the same boat with you. You are somewhere on the ground and he's flying.

You made 0 suggestions in this topic and you don't understand the difference between in memory numbers and display, or how microprocessor cycles work.

1. You said 32-bit applications can't work with numbers more than 4 bytes. Wrong.
2. You talk about memory overflow. This isn't even a real programming term.
3. You link a worthless blizzard article that talks about display numbers that has literally fuck all to do with the discussion. You're the one that can't tell the difference between display and actual processed numbers
4. You don't know how floats work at all.
5. I actually did suggest something, it was called moving the damage types to long long like I said in my fist post.

[Removed by Support]

Instead of numbers, displays, etc. how about remove aura stacking, voices, HH and other crap like that and balance the game around the 10 ex builds?

not to mention that "uber builds" shouldnt even exist in the first place.

Just limit large cluster jewel to 1, medium and small to 2, and unique cluster jewel to 1. Problem solved.

Or capped aura effect stacks.

Removing voices and increased effect of auras/curses/heralds/whatever would be enough. Some builds like RF uses more than one large and more than two medium and they are fine.

Or better yet: balance the game around 10ex builds with normal itens. Let those big spenders complain the game is too easy for their builds.

You wan easy mode? Ok, go on, use your HH, voices, aura stack, etc. But don't complain "too easy" when you can afk in T19 because the game is not balanced around you.
