Why is Mathil able to do everything that is impossible according to most of the complains here?

You basically made up a nonexistent problem with your original thread title, probably to incite the complaints you're eliciting now.

The game has changed ALOT since I started.

No I didnt "made up a nonexistent problem" and your whole text doesnt even talk about the problem at hand you talk about something completly different.

You are just trying to derail every post into a conversation about what you personaly dislike about the game in general.

Because I'm giving you examples of actual complaints that have a history on the forums for literal years.

I don't recall anyone creating a thread about such and such build is impossible gaining any real traction. But I've seen plenty of threads explain to people that a build they like was nerfed so hard that it no longer meets the players original expectations.

There are a lot of complaints regardless of how popular or hated a league gets. But "impossible" builds really only references things that can no longer be done - like the actual herald stacking (because the reason it worked was gutted) or elemental immunity (cap was set and flasks were changed).

Complaints about the direction of the game or major aspects go back beyond my time. Can you even link 3 threads where someone complained build xyz is impossible?

"Impossible" is probably a hyperbole, but there has been PLENTY of threads complaining about the balance of skills, and that it's "close to" impossible to make a successful build with certain skills for the Average Joe - with a non-mirror budget. You would think that is the threads Op is referring to.

While those threads have some merits and good points, they are also hyperboling the same way OP is in his title.

yeah so you telling everybody who play poe should be like him ?

Worse.
He's breaking the 4th wall and telling everyone that if they're not top 1% at what they do in life, they aren't professionally doing it.

Also, apparently playing PoE without no-life grinding, being as meta as possible, or joining a group of min-maxers - is like living in France without speaking French.

The guy's trolling surely.

Agreed. Claiming that if someone complains about something they don't like it is because they need to play the game like a professional streamer and then all will be well has to be trolling.

Complains that build or specific archetypes and niches are impossible or nerfed to hell exist since the beta.


My "standart graveyard of characters" is full of builds that cant be reproduced anymore because somewhere in the history of PoE the interactions or items that made it possible do not exist anymore.

Just from the top of my head.

Poison phys/chaos spells like poison bladefall deleted from the game = shitstorm

Crown of eyes doesnt work with "more spell multipliers" = shitstorm

Removing of most "added as ele/chaos" = shitstorm

Why should I even try to link such threads? They are something that happens every time some major aspect of the game got nerfed.

What is part is hyperbole? Mathil plays basic PoE, a ton of it yes, but its really pretty basic. His playstyle is most likley pretty close to how people that play in red maps play on average.

I never see him do any advanced PoE things. Not a single time it would be so out of the ordinary that reddit would be full of posts like "Look mathil starts selling 5-ways" or "WTF Mathil now runs with a farming group".

He just jumps in maps and kills random monster and does some bosses occasionaly.

Yes he has an insane amount of builds each league but like I said a average player can do the same with 2 or 3 build in 3 month and the average player can also spec into more defenses than mathil and "only" deal like 10 million dps.


Would you not call someone that just randomly plays games in LoL or Dota and never enters ranked a casual? Mathils playstyle is the equivalent of that.

People say that Mathil has so much knowledge about the game but how is that something nobody else can archive? Theirs a wiki, poedb, tons of forums, discord ect. people have a vast pool of sources they can tap into to edjucate themself. Isnt "learning the rules" part of what every casual does in every game? Do you play chess without learning the rules? Since when is learning the rules that only someone that is not casual does?

So when you see them posting their discontent, their unhappiness, their frustration, and finally their anger, what you're really seeing is grief. They are mourning 'their' PoE, and they know it's dead for them because if they had any real hope left they'd be posting in Feedback and Suggestions.

Thank you for so expertly explaining my feelings. I understand much better now. Seriously! :-)

Than why do you even post here? Whats the point beside a seriously unhealthy bitterness?

If I do not like a game I stop interacting with it, their are thousands if not millions of games out their.

Yeah a unhealthy bitter relationship with the game.

Like think about it whats the point of posting on a forum of a game that you dont play every day? A game you do not seem to like. Do you think thats normal? Wouldnt the normal thing to do just to move on and play something else?

Whats the motivation of loging in every day, post something negative about a game you dont play? Like seriously whats the point?

You are trolling here.

I suggest that you try harder to treat others as human beings rather than the demons that you seem more inclined to do.

Your questions have already been answered by Chan. Here's his post.
