Wow somebody didn't read the conversation at all. Good job.

Since somebody is recommending Royal or League of Legends, to me - who is a Planetide 2 general leading 100 men, who also was the main alliance member leading 40 people during WoW Classic Alterac Valley BG's release (& solo summoning the ram riders countless times). With the best faction vs faction map awarness in both games.

I'll recommend two games for you PVE'ers:

1) Super Mario Sunshine

& since you like mowing down waves of enemies with OP 40+ mill dps builds, untested re-balancing / without enough skill; from lack of 1vs1 duels in POE.

2) Lawn Mower Simulator
20vs20 group pvp updates (for the main game, not royal). Siege vs siege maps. Randomized & shuffled passive trees. Bigger trees +30 point updates.

Large towns hosting 100+ people; bard taverns. A field near town for guild events. Not hideouts like WoW-Garrisons. Outside like Ragnarok Online.

Dude PoE is just to big and complex for this trash. Vast majority od players doesnt want this. Ive already told you taht there is so huge disparity between builds that its impossible to balance. In pve we can have builds with 1 bilion dps (there was 1 such build) or build that does 40 milion in single hit. Try to balance that around 6k life we have. Just no.


I daresay one of the few things D3 *almost* got right; PvP arenas. I got to play it at the one blizzcon they showcased them, and only for a couple rounds. But it was really fun. However, in the arena they had planned they were trying for ultra balance; every class had the same (or no) gear, and same skills / no skill points.

Unfortunately I think it would ultimately end up pretty boring in a game that's ALL about the gear and build you have.

I mean hell even in D2, the majority of players didn't PvP nearly at all. The most recent poll by a couple thousand huge D2 fans on Mrllama's channel showed only about 25% pvp (going to add a quick IIRQ here), and those are the more dedicated players based on the fact that elsewhere in the poll, the majority of them played well over 1k hours.

I know in the all the time I spent in D2, I pvp'd very little. Don't care at all about pvp considering the near impossible task of anything close to balance in PoE especially.

So yea, in the end the minority of players will ever do more then dabble in PvP in these games. I get the they absolutely love it, and if perfect balance could be achieved then have at it. But my personal checklist is; Does pvp exist in the game? Okay, then move on.



All I remember from D2's pvp is getting 1 shot by whirlwinding barbarians, or getting shot by amazons off screen, after playing it my entire teenage life. Either that or a paladin found some OP gear & 1 shot as well. The other classes were average / meh.

So if POE is basing it's pvp off d2 or lack of, which they probably are. It's the main culprit to why this games pvp hasn't taken off.

All this talk is going to make me try a p2w game, Lost Ark. PVE'rs who advocate against PVP are just as bad as devs who implement P2W into their game.


I'm not advocating AGAINST pvp. Like I said previously they can add it and balance it all they want, the MAJORITY of players won't care, because this genre's true pvp is the competition on who has the best gear / who's cleared the hardest content.

Just like in D2, just like in D3, just like in PoE, just like in PoE Royale, the minority of players will continuously partake in pvp.

Not against work being done ON pvp and you won't hear me gripe if they pull resources to work on it, but myself and most other players don't really care about it. And if that's somehow 'as bad as a pay to win game' then I think you've lost the plot here.

It's called defense scaling for pvp matches, defense scaling for guild vs guild arenas, & defense scaling for group vs group battlefields.

Or simply whenever someone gets flagged red.

Also your obviously a pve'er troll, on this thread man, the mod already had to delete one of your posts.

Lastly, if builds for pve end-game, are already 40 million - 200 mill difference, than they need to be nerfed anyways. Even for PVE builds shouldn't be having these huge gaps in the millions of dps. That's unbalanced, even for PVE's sake.

So even if your on your high horse, believing you made all the smart build idea's to get your build disproportionately out-gapping most builds, it's still out of balance with those numbers. That's why people are complaining about basing the game around the top 1% of builds, nobody wants that. Not PVE'ers, nor PVP'ers. The only people who want that, are people who want a 1 push button ez-mode, cake-walk, or people who don't want their OP PVE builds nerfed.


Defense scaling in a game when 1 build does 1mil dps and other 1 bil.... The entire point of PoE is to have those builds. We dont have balance in PvE because we dont need it. We have meta shifts. PvP just doesnt fit here and will be DoA waste of time and money. Nobody here wants this trash here. D2 pvp was a joke and everybody knows that.

Also mod didnt delete anything from me here.
The reason for Royal, was because if it was connected to the main game, it'd reveal how out of balance the main game is. That's the reason for separating it from the main game.


To say PVE'rs only want alternating meta's & not balance is your opinion only, if polled you'd see the votes on that would be 50%/50% at least. From what I can tell, most want the bottom-down skills to be as good as the top. So actually people hecka want balance. I personally don't care about alternating seasons, like Magic The Gathering standard has.

Personally, even IF you get the best gear. You don't even have a proper town to show it off. What,.. 10 people sitting at the stash & quickly running off or some ditch of a small hideout? All because the further we head into the future, the games projection plan has to copy a 1990's game only, aka Diablo 2?? POE 2 wants better combat, for skill-based. Overall I want to pvp with my main char, not a royal char.

" It can't be pvp, it can't be a mmo " yet this game could probably have another 10 years of updates. If you really believe Leagues are the best thing to be talking about, than sure go ahead for the millionth thread about that.

I'll be over here talking about pvp battlefields, arenas, & bigger social towns. Fair enough.

As for endgame gear competition, to each their own I guess, I know Asmongold personally likes collecting mounts. Tho overall the lesson to be learned is variety. Not just 1 avenue.



" What about the numbers! the big damage? how are they gonna make pvp, because we have big damage, how how... " kek

You do realize I'm from a mmofps game, where a lvl 1 can kill a lvl 220, because it's skill > over stats or gear. Stats & gear, should add more tools your your belt, tho not be planned for a I-win-button. Everyone has blind spots. That's reality.

I like football, why is Pro Evolution Soccer a better football game than POE??? GGG should take all their resources away from developing the next couple of leagues so we can play football against people who come to our hideouts. Would be so cool and I bet 99.9% of the players really want this.

Alternating meta is GGG's way of doing things, thats how they want it, they said it multiple times. PoE is game about builds, always was and always will be. Stop trying to change core of what it is just to suit you stupid idea of pvp. Just go play a game that focuses on that.

This is not MMO, FPS or any MOBA so stop comparing it to them. PvP just doest fit here, its stupid idea. The sheer amount of possibilities PoE gives makes pvp not viable, ever. Or are you trying to say that they need to destroy dudes 5 mirror build because "pvp" that nobody besides you want? Just no.

PvP was actually one of the first things GGG tried to work on after the games' initial launch. The Version 1.3.0 patch was big on PvP - https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Version_1.3.0

And more work would have been done on it. So why didn't they? Simply because the community made it clear they weren't interested in it. It was a largely unused feature, and plenty of people on the forums/Reddit very clearly told them it had no place in this game. So they didn't bother after that. And that sentiment hasn't changed much over the years. There's maybe a slightly higher portion of the community interested in PvP today, but it still seems to be fairly niche.

Royale came out of an April Fools' joke that was never meant to be a full game feature. Its popularity was heavily based on novelty, but even back then people were complaining about how unbalanced it was (which was understandable, as GGG themselves admitted it'd only got the barest minimum of development). Ever since there's been the occasional request to have it back, which they've now finally acquiesced to, but it was never a major demand.

So why'd they launch Royale again now? Who knows? Maybe as an experiment, to see if they can make their one and only successful (even if just briefly) PvP mode work. Maybe in order to shore up players by having them keep playing the game, even if just for Royale, even later in the league - in order to counteract the launch of Diablo 2 Resurrected (which is coming out during the later part of this league). Maybe just as an employees personal side project.

But whatever the reason, it still doesn't seem like the fundamental reason why this game hasn't developed its PvP much has changed - most of the community doesn't seem to believe in it, or want it. Will it be impossible to balance? Probably. But that's just another reason among many for why it isn't wanted.

Maybe not a troll, or maybe a troll yes. Mentioning Royal, is pretty much a slap in this face to all the effort put into writing this thread at this point. It's pretty much the same thing as suggesting League of Legends, for a 2nd time. It brushes over all the points made.
20vs20 group pvp updates (for the main game, not royal). Siege vs siege maps. Randomized & shuffled passive trees. Bigger trees +30 point updates.

Large towns hosting 100+ people; bard taverns. A field near town for guild events. Not hideouts like WoW-Garrisons. Outside like Ragnarok Online.
