GGG, do you even want people to play your games and try your game mechanics? like delirium, like strongboxes, like altars? right? lets say I`m high level and doing t15 map, it is already very risky, and when I finish map, I look for altars, etc., but me trying to do ANY of your additional mechanics make it 80% chance that I die and LOSE 10% of exp (1-2 full buffed t15 maps).

Are you ok with me not even trying all your mechanics just to not die and not be disappointed in the game even more? Focus, it is not space science, just listen to people. Don`t be Blizzard 2.

The thing is, Blizzard listens in terms on issues on current mechanics. The problem with them is lack of creativity in the content that's why a lot of new ARPG'ers are now moving to POE 2. Like i said in previous posts, if POE 2 and Diablo 4 had a child that gets all the best things on both games, then that would be the best ARPG ever.

Thing is, Blizzard listened to every single complaints and then tried to make games for everyone where not one single feeling is hurt while playing. Result ? You have a game with no substance, no challenges, no risks, nothing to overcome, no reasons to play or even want to become a better player, because everything is handed to you. It isn't about lacking creativity, or even the money or man power to design it, it's just that they can't create challenging content anymore without risking pushing away some players ; which they can't do due to executives order ; which is actually the recipe for a good game.

GGG knows better.

This comparison is spot on.
Blizzard bitched out and let casuals ruin their game.
GGG is going big dick and this shit wont fly.

Discussing this topic is also just pointless.
Its just the same 20 people who are complaining on the forum because they cant progress in the game and make up their own reality where poe2 is a massive failure, despite doubling the player numbers of poe1 while being in ea for only a month. Trying to explain anything to them and their fragile ego just puts up a wall and accuses anyone who disagree with them for being elitist, no life, gatekeepers.

A game that is made for everyone is a bad game.
Stop crying, either get better at the game or find a different game.
I can recommend diablo 4 or minesweeper perhaps?

Not minesweeper, you can actually fail in minesweeper. Minecraft Creative mode is the perfect game for these types.

Saying "go play diablo 4 or minesweeper" is the same level of maturity than saying "go get a life, nerd"

But saying "go get a life" to people not dying is actually really funny.

Maybe it's just a observation but you're absolutely right considering there's a small group of people in every single thread that feels the need to tell you you're wrong lmao. It's also always the ones with 5 supporter badges saying "you know nothing."

Sorry this is a new game with new ideas. The game WILL die and its already showing signs of bleeding players.

Ggg needs to step up and either say what their design philosophies are so they can cultivate a certain type of audience instead of these "vets", super helped btw. Those 10k hours I think everyone knows about their playtime now.

But yes, if ggg wants to continue this path of mouth breathers the game won't thrive.

Maybe... i'll ask my 6y old ;P

People just can't stop antagonizing each other. That's why read only feedback is the best solution.

99.99% of players know the XP penalty is legacy BS and the only ones in favor of it are a tiny vocal minority.

Statistics like to disagree with you. This post has 260 replies. A lot of people post multiple times. The other posts were also a lot of the same people. You can see that by going to their account and see their posts or comments on posts. The people that complain are the vocal minority.
