General Discussion - Will GGG cater casuals - Forum

Great game been playing CB for close to a week now, but once OB starts up and all the D3 casuals start playing. I fear that they will cry on fourms till the game is nerfed to the ground. I heard in general chat yesterday that GGG plans to make the game harder for OB release, if this is true thats great.	Posted by Danoga#3881 on Jan 20, 2013, 8:42:14 AM Quote this Post
I think they should increase the difficulty exponentially in relation to the number of zomg this is too difficult QQ threads. Blasphemous HC-SSF Path of Exile 2 enjoyer.	Posted by RottenSausage#6164 on Jan 20, 2013, 8:53:35 AM Quote this Post

I have the utmost trust that GGG will keep things nice and difficult for us Who knows, maybe we'll convert some of the more casual Diablo III players into the purer faith I must not fear, fear is the mind killer...	Posted by ibax7588#0284 on Jan 20, 2013, 9:30:00 AM Quote this Post
They can always introduce a "woosie" league, besides hardcore and default. That is the beauty of PoE and the way GGG has set it up. They can please a lot of player groups.	Posted by McHuberts#7978 on Jan 20, 2013, 9:33:29 AM Quote this Post
GGG have rather high standards, and Path of Exile is clearly aimed at the hardcore gamers and rewards perseverance. I'm pretty confident that frustrated players who don't like it hard won't have it dumbed down for them. Take care out there.	Posted by Lagruell#1960 on Jan 20, 2013, 9:35:59 AM Quote this Post

Then people QQ'd and Blizz caved. Not sure about Merciless once in Open Beta. Alpha players seem to have noticed some real increase in difficulty starting at the end of Cruel difficulty. Also, you won't go Glass Canon like in D3, or you will lose experience. Take care out there.

I always felt like a lot of Diablo III's difficulty was greatly inflated through a lot of cheap tricks (invulnerable minions anyone?) but I definitely agree that it was dumbed down considerably from its original state. That being said, I'll take a more balanced challenge like PoE any day of the week I must not fear, fear is the mind killer...	Posted by ibax7588#0284 on Jan 20, 2013, 9:39:27 AM Quote this Post
One of the things im hoping on is that PoE is a free game by an indie company so its not like GGG will lose anything by keeping it hard	Posted by Danoga#3881 on Jan 20, 2013, 9:45:00 AM Quote this Post
