Did chris really say he wants POE to be like dark souls ?

If this is true, i cant even..

Its a flippen monster killing loot simulator, If he wants it to be the dark souls of POE sure, then he can enjoy his dark souls style community, extremely small, niche and hardcore loyal.

Im out though. Thats not the game i signed up to play 8+ yrs ago.

50% player decline in the first 10 hrs of a league. Nice "vision" chris, killed your own cash cow with it.

The game isn't hard plenty of people are doing just fine it's just you.

Dunno what you are talkign about, i didnt even download the patch, done giving them money for chris's "vision".

But going off the steam charts, 50% player decline in the first day, Compared to lets say ultimatum which had the MOST technical problems of any league EVER. Its a 40% decline off those numbers too.

In fact the peak largely stayed throughout the first week in most leagues, the drastic player drop says its not me, its the game, they killed it. Enjoy.

They havent even finished killing it either, going off the asmon interview thery have a bunch more knife twists to go. I imagine the next league will peak at 50k and drop to 10k.

No, he does not. He wants some part of the game to give the players the same feeling as they do in Dark Souls; choice, difficulty and so on. But I think he's fairly aware that PoE and Dark Souls are two quite different games, belonging to two quite different sub-genres.

Everything isn't meant literally, and every comparison made by Chris, isn't defining the whole game.

Ehm, the same as it's always been? Progress your character and be as powerful as possible. Why on earth should the "goal" of PoE ever change, and when/how did it change in your eyes?

this game sure seems to copy dark souls enemies a lot, or at least enemies that are in dark souls wind up in a future update of path of exile....

that doesn't really bother me though, dark souls does the "I DID IT" feeling very well and path of exile would if it wasn't so regressive in a lot of areas. dark souls doesn't force you to spend 3-5 hours re-grinding access to a boss

Sure it does. But taking influence from Dark Souls does not equal "be like Dark Souls". PoE is taking a lot of influence from Magic The Gathering too, doesn't mean Chris wants the game to be like it :)

Actually the Dark Souls games really try to avoid having HP sponges act like enemies. But they are similar if you watch one guy trying to play DS while naked and armed with the broken sword....without using backstabs , parry ,magic or any items; just hack away a sliver of life at a time.
