I am worried that GGG might listen to the whiny "game too difficult :(" crowd
" Actually I'm equating your unwillingness to help those disadvantaged without it costing you much to "First they came for .. and I did not speak out". I'm thinking that's exactly what the saying was trying to teach us ... **************** Note: The original point is was that some people effectively react slower than others but are being punished out of proportion with the problem they have.

" yeah, why wouldnt she help all those poor people who are literally trying to character assassinate her for liking a video game that they hate ... so weird, so selfish |

" I am literally running that exact same build. Maybe not the same kind of scepter and I can't speak for the other gear you're using. Personally I opted into using a kite shield with a scepter main hand for 2 warrior skeletons since I like blocking hits. And yet my damage at the current level of progression in the game feels terrible. My fiance plays merc and just blows past mob packs while it takes me a bit to chew through them, even longer if they have a rare. And again, despite how much I put into minion defenses, they still get smeared by any kind of AoE, especially bosses. I can only assume they just scale better at higher levels, but right now, I'm not feeling it. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! And the winds will cry / and many men will die / and all the waves will bow down / to the Loreley |

" The funny thing is, I've offered to look at builds and give suggestions on 3 separate occasions in this thread alone lol |

" I don't recommend a shield. Use a wand + sceptre. Wand will give you great bonuses that you want as a witch. If you're going for the same playstyle, it's gotta be - your skill tree - your support gems (they make a big difference) - your playstyle (don't rush into maps, play slow, work your way through it methodically while spamming Flame Wall and letting Arsonists shoot at them from behind) It's a homebrew build, and I've gone into this game blind (as I always do with games I play), so I can not tell you how it compares to other builds. But I can definitely tell you that it has been consistently very strong from obtaining SRS in Act 1 up until now (end of Act 5) where I am at. Last edited by Fae_Lyth#6750 on Dec 9, 2024, 6:23:21 PM

" What character assassination?? You're jumping to conclusions. The game is great for the audience that they are targeting. I'm only wanting to be in that target audience so I can enjoy it too!!! The problem is one of the key mechanics does discriminate against those that process information slowly. If you process information too slowly you're punished .. simple enough. I'd simply like some allowances where that is taken more into account. Let me ask you ... would giving some additional time on "Dodge-or-Die" mechanics hurt that much?? What would it cost to be OK with that?? ... or is it easier to disregard my arguments because they're inconvenient? |
|
" And I ALSO apologized and said you would help with builds ... Why you will help one set of folks but not another that REALLY WANT TO ENJOY the game escapes me though :( |
|
" I get motion sickness easily and suffer from migraines. FPS "discriminate" towards me because I am physically unable to play them without running to the toilet every 30 seconds and throwing up. Happens. Not everything is for everyone. I could go into the Call of Duty forums and demand they make it into a 3rd person game, ideally top-down, so I can play it without throwing up. I don't. I focus on the things I can and do enjoy instead. And if I did, the CoD community would rightfully be upset at me and defend their game. Last edited by Fae_Lyth#6750 on Dec 9, 2024, 6:41:23 PM

I mean GGG's best tactic right now would be to hard commit to POE1 as the speedy trivial clear speed version of POE and hard commit to POE2 being an actual ARPG. Like I know thats what they've already heavily implied if not outright stated, but literally make a big announcement:
POE1 will be the zoomy game we wont nerf broken stuff unless lots of people want it, we'll make even more dumpsters of loot rain down. But POE2 is for actual immersive gameplay and D2 pacing. MrLlamaSC finally likes an ARPG that isn't Diablo 2... You know GGG did something right. Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4. If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years.
