Now now I know my title got you mad, hear me out

I play counter strike for FPS , I play sc2 and wc3 for rts, I now play PoE for mmorpg but used to play diablo 2.

I am confused why the newer generation of MMORPG gamers want the games to be what they call "challenging"

the issue is though, it isnt challenging , and if it was why would I play, mmorpg is about relaxing and playing the economy and grinding chars and MFing when you feel like it right?

Kiting does not impress me, a monkey can do it
dodging spells on screen does not impress me


I just feel like FPS and RTS are where FAST TALENT belongs, and people who are not fast enough gamers for those, try to convince themselves they are talented at mmorpg? in my opinion just learning the game mechanics and economy is the only talent that an mmorpg has ever requested, more like using a bunch of diff skills and stuff is just busy work, like homework they would make me take home in 2nd grade and do the same style math problem like 50 times.

sorry guess I am just an old confused gamer in a new gaming world


by the way, not all the game is to hard, just everything past act2 cruel, keep in mind I dont party, because I am not going to give away 5/6th my drops when there is NOT an exp advantage to doing so

it appears english is also TOO hard

What i want to know is, how someone plays POE for an MMO fix lol

PoE is the alternative for players who do want a challenging arpg. You do not, that is fine, there are other choices for you. Those of who do, want PoE to be that choice, because there really isn't another.

^this

Try TL2. Its a VERY well made ARPG and it has difficulty levels.

/bow

but even the hardest mmo isnt hard when u try, no where near the effort of fps or rts, so why do they try makin these games "challenging" lol

should be a lazier more lax game, thats what the people want!

I agree

The game has a stiff difficulty curve. At certain points in the game, you'll encounter a gear check, and you'll have to solve that gear check. To do so, you'll either need to farm gear for your char, or buy. For my current char, which is like my fourth, but the first char I have been really successful with, I am only wearing two pieces of self found, and the rest of the items are bought. I earned the cash to buy my items either by farming currency directly, or by vendor recipe cashing, and only 2 (1 EX, 3EX) trade channel sales.

Good gear is not expensive. There are plenty of good items for sale for 3-6 chaos. There is no requirement to spend 1EX on any item to finish A3 merc and play maps. The most I have paid for any of my items is 5 chaos currently, although I do have a 6 chaos bid out.

The difficulty level is "appropriate." If I compare this to D3, and getting to a similar level of success and what it took to do that, it was actually far harder over in that game. In effect, I had to play AH Tycoon with huge numbers of sales to buy the gear I needed. That hasn't been needed here at all.

So things are not out of line. They do require skill, patience, and doggish persistence. I think that's okay. You'll sometimes get stuck and have to wait days to progress further. That's okay, too.

I will say that incoming damage (to wit: the damage the mobs do to the player) might be a bit (single digit percentages) high in merciless generally, and act 3 generally. In particular, A3 may be too much of stair step. But this is pretty subtle. The incoming damage thing is more pronounced and obvious when playing single player.

The other thing we're not discussing here is your build. The game has sufficient difficulty such that there is little tolerance for bad builds.

Why is there a storyfag in every thread?

These kinds of comments often result in a no-warning probation from the mobs, so as you are aware.

The game is too easy IMO.
Not a single ARPG on the market that's even remotely challenging and/or where you have to THINK, except PoE.
GGG should make the game about 200% harder so that consequences for picking up skills, gear and passives would have more impact.
