An Open Letter to GGG RE: One Portal
|
And how do you know? Found a crystal ball?
I am very much in favor of the Death takes it all in maps - It is a valid way to make people balance defenses and speed. The only problem I see is Realmgate content - Because to do the boss mechanics you need to learn them, currently only having 1 shot is a negative factor to learning boss mechanics. Don't get me wrong, a boss should FULLY reset. Farming salt on the forums since 2024

" +1 Absolutely! I am, basically, a new player (level 36 Witch in PoE 1 hardly counts as experience). Now I have a level 76 Warbringer, and he's tons of fun to play. I'm also certain my recommendation has gotten at minimum two other people to either try the game or play more after dabbling. One of them, after beating Act III cruel, made a new character after seeing how the map system worked. I doubt she'll stick around once leveling loses its charm. I'm too old for punishing nonsense. Games are fun, not a job; I already have one of those. If the devs want to make the play experience less fun to cater to the masochists, they'll do so without my wallet. All of the goals of the punishing game mechanics can easily be reframed positively. |

" Six portals fixes your problem as well. Let the boss reset, that is definitely the right choice but give people six chances. The solution is already there, why die on the hill of the map. Let people play they want to play, return player agency. This mechanic removes it, who is going to play glass cannon zoom builds with this still in the game? Why does that need to be removed when it's usually the highlight reel when people google PoE1. The balance between defense and speed already exists, it's the xp loss. |

Theres plenty of games for you guys that are upset. World of warcraft, diablo 4, maybe even try stardew valley?
Step 1 is to self reflect.

Its only a matter of time I think most players defending to keep 1 portal just haven't hard locked themselves just yet.
Sure, they can be slightly better than the average player, until they not. I bet more than 50% players wanting 1 portal haven't got passed their 3rd Acendancy. When they stuck enough with heaps of content to still do and cant go further, they'll get bored, maybe then complain about something or just not hear from them again and they find something else to play until some patches and leagues pop up. Very few will have the patience to rough it out. Last edited by R3cKiTT#5326 on Dec 20, 2024, 5:38:35 AM

" My point has nothing to do with you, or me for that matter. Why you dont understand that is beyond me. |

" Yes after bricking progress, -10% xp and 1 portal, death needs even more weight. You're right. My suggestions: When you die GGG overload your computer to a crisp and you need to buy a new one. Meanwhile GGG send headhunters to track members of your family. Stupid dmbfk. |
