Character Creation Difficulty Selection

I'd like to suggest a feature where we can choose our desired difficulty level right at character creation in PoE2. Personally, I prefer a tough challenge and would love to start on high difficulty setting.

I understand that others might prefer a more relaxed experience. To balance this, I propose the following:

Difficulty Options at Character Creation: Offer various difficulty levels (e.g., Easy, Normal, Hard) for players to choose from when starting a new character.

Restricted Grouping: Only allow players with the same difficulty setting to play together. This ensures everyone has a comparable experience.

Locked Difficulty: Once a character is created, their chosen difficulty is locked in and cannot be changed. This preserves the intended challenge and prevents exploits.

This system would allow everyone to tailor their PoE2 experience to their liking without compromising the challenge for those who want it.

What do you think of this idea?

i think that multiplayer could set the difficulty to the highest in the group. together with downleveling this would i think this would keep the impact of an op eazy character helping a hard difficulty character to a minimum.
