Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - Explosion chest nerf seems to address the wrong thing - Forum

" cgexile wrote: Explode made this game look ridiculous to any onlooker thinking about trying out PoE. Look at all the ARPGs coming out and the gameplay being showcased; including PoE2. It's more tactical and much slower. I'm sure PoE2 mapping won't be anywhere near as slow as what was shown, but my guess is they are going to try and dial it back. Is it satisfying to explode 2 screens in 1 second? Sure, but then what do you think they are doing to the loot? It's being nerfed into the ground to compensate for clear. Their servers are also chocking on it. So yeah they need to dial that shit back especially when heralds could pop screens before explode and then the go add explode. If you can clear in under 2 minutes at that point the game should just generate loot when you enter a map without bothering to spawn any monsters. Just go run around and collect your RNG loot all sprinkled throughout the map and then rinse and repeat. No monsters necessary. This is, sadly, a corner that GGG put themselves in. This started as far back as Breach, but now they can't stop making more Breach clones to appeal to speed demons who only want to see their screens explode in bright colors before being showered in (primarily garbage) loot. GGG's going to have to make a lot of sacrifices and step on a lot of peoples' toes if they want to dial all of this back down. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

The overall pace of this game isn't going to change unless they remove more multipliers from the game and i doubt they have the guts to do that. There is no way to reign in the excessive damage scaling that allows for current POEs fast game play as long as more multipliers are everywhere.

It would be nice if the game slowed back down, both in player killing speed, but also mobs dealing ludicrous amounts of damage with diminishing telegraphs to try and keep up. I'm not expecting it to happen with PoE2, and I feel too many people here believe otherwise. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
