If they every bring monster density down they will make their game into a hotkey MMORPG instead of a hack&slash game, you can't just do that and think you'll keep your playerbase. I'm convinced they won't do that, although I am concerned they will focus too much on boss killing. If I want to play a slowmotion game It's play Last Epoch, no need for they to degenerate their own game if you ask me. They try to battle the top 1% being too OP, but fail to realize those will always be OP and only hit the average player.

I mentioned monster density because in arena-type fights like Incursion, Ritual and Ultimatum areas there is a real possibility of being machine gunned from all directions at once. If you can outgun the mobs, it is easy, but if your damage is severely lacking, you better start to bunny hop all over the place and hope you don't end up in a crowded space. Forget about monster density, that can surely stay as is, but tune down the bloody mobs!

I pretty much felt that the game was balanced in the early days. Even old master missions gave enough time to accomplish their tasks. Someone decided to balance the entire game around going as fast as possible, doing as much damage as possible. That first started to show in Breach League (also the last league I casually played before I took a long break). All leagues before it could be done by slow builds, no problem. Then the fast meta leagues all followed in quick succession: Incursion, Delve, Legion, Blight, Delirium, Heist.

It is all streamers fault to promote the zoom-nuke-playstyle and the herd following the shepard.

You're not even close to reach red maps in expedition league. Come back when you do.

In my opinion right now GGG are focused on POE2 and current version of the game is just a big test server for version 2.0 I'm totally agree with author words.

Gotta admit I stopped reading at "GGG playtesters"

That's ... us.
