buy better PC man, this is 2013 and new consoles are comming.

i don't think thats the reason why people don't wanna play in groups

I can't find good reason for playing solo if your computer can handle all PoE fireworks.

Because solo is much more fun and challenging. The only reason for playing in groups is if / while your build sucks and you cant solo anything. If you have a solo capable build, then playing with others is a detriment due to monster HP and damage scaling.

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)

I play ARPGs to chill and play on my own pace, i played too much hardcore raiding in MMOs and nowadays i like to play alone, most ARPGs have a fair solo ideology.

Also, playing in parties mean faceroll, and i like the challenge in games, always play on the most difficulty settings, and party is like "piece of cake" difficulty from duke nuken 3D lol.

But i hate to play feeling i cant compete just because i wanna play solo. Maybe PoE will never be the place for the solo player to reach the tops, but im sure gonna try to make they change that.

Then nerfing auras will add more challange for solo players...

It should start like this:

GGG why u no...

Not when those auras are required to enable certain builds to manage solo play, and while the Nerf encourages and overpowers party play.

It will also make solo less effective, and i would like to be competitive, please read the hole post.

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 have a good pc and i could play in groups - but i just don't want to
i don't like being forced into groups just to beat this game without much frustration

But if you are solo you already can't be competitive to party players.

Im glad they are making solo more difficult. After all those difficulty nerfs it was becoming too easy even for me as a strict solo selffound player
