also mass aura's was never an intended design


i understand that, but the solution to force people to play in groups is just plain wrong in my opinion

As a solo player, I'm pretty sure that we are not majority.


trust me - we are
problem is that streamers have a much "louder" voice

My response to this in another thread:

I didn't even realize until this week that you could activate an aura, then switch the skillbar icon to a different one and the first one would keep running.

I just assumed it would stop working, like removing a gem from a piece of gear.

Call me a noob I guess, but I honestly don't feel bad for anyone that was running 6+ auras, given the hoops you have to jump through to keep them running, and the completely not-obvious way of doing it.

It has "exploit" and "waiting to be fixed" written all over it.

My personal favorite is when I roll a maze map, get full public group and everyone leaves with 20+ mobs alive still. Thank you to all the players for wasting my portals and leaving half the shit alive in a map.

^ is the reason I play solo more than not.

Game is already 10x harder soloing, currency and danger wise, and they went ahead and buff the parties so they can faceroll even more, i tought GGG didnt want people facerolling the content. First the IIQ change, now the auras, they want the 1% of streamers and their friends to be alone on the top.(You can see in all streams the same dudes r there, same mumble and stuff too)


And what exactly prevents you from playing in a group ore gathering some like minded people to play with?

I never understood this argument.

(and yes i also play solo a lot, but i don't mind partying if the people are chill)


Because playing solo is much more fun. Also if stacking multiple auras wasn't the intended design as you said in another post, then GGG failed at that by making Purity a requirement on just about every single character when soloing.

thats wrong, there is no instance, content or something else that has to be played as group. ARPG are intended to be solo and mutliplayer games. And its just the truth that PoE is really a lot easier and more effectiv in a group.

Some of us cant play in groups because of some particel effects, which cause performance issues. Not everybody is able to buy a new pc or gpu....and so on

I bought a new PC, and i can play in groups now but still i like to play solo and it does not feel right, that randompugs got more exp and loot for less afford + they get buffed from stronger auras with 1.0..

its not a big issue for me, but i get what the problem for a lot of other players is and i admit that should be fixed in any way....If you came here only to post something sensless, like "this is a multiplayergame basta"...just go troll elsewhere

Well the developers have said its not. So therefore its not their intention for ot to be a multiplayer game.
