Gating XP and progress behind RNG

"

There are plenty of games out there without random elements to them. The reason you are here talking about PoE is that it's not one of those games.

And what are you? tinko92? Rofl. Another proof of being entitled. Can't agree more with Worldbreaker here - if you don't like it, just leave it be. You saying that he is a "know-it-all" while you claim system is bad because YOU don't like it. What did I miss? Oh:

"

that ignorant person are you (and those few) ;)

Rofl. Grow up.

First, this comes from a solo player, but please do not make this an other SFL thread.

We all know PoE has a RNG system on stereoids, compared to other games in this genre. Some call it hard core, others call it a way to make the game live longer. To some, it's bull shit, to others it's the dream.

Gear is one thing. Gear IS, and SHOULD be, gated behind RNG. If not, it's not an aRPG. But gating progress and XP behind RNG is sort of new to the genre. What's your take one this?

Is this just a way to make the game live longer?
Or is this a way to give the hard core player base something more than the casuals, to "reward" their dedication?

I just feel that the focus of re-rolling, trying new builds, theory-craft, enjoying the game from different views, builds and classes is sort of waste of time, when you need SO much time to get that midnight fragment, or to stabalize your map pool, or reaching for 75+ maps.

there is still a lot more content to be released. The characters are simply not meant to be leveled to 90++.

So the game is just a demo, is that what you're saying?
Why was PoE released as a "full" game if it's just an early-access one?

If characters are not meant to be leveled to 90++, then make the level cap at 90. I mean it's like saying "you're not supposed to do lvl 78 maps, we just added them because it's fun to add stuff you're not supposed to do".

No offense, but you really are an idiot. I dont think it is hard to grasp the concept of 'optional content'.

MMO-mentality: hardcap = endgame = finished character. WoW brainwashing. Hell Blizzard even applied it to their own Diablo 3. Hence all the confusion and frustration.

P.S.: If I was a developer, I would put the level cap on 500, just to troll all the brainwashed.

So keeping someone from finishing their skill gem layouts = brainwashing? Why am I not allowed to have a 6L item? Explain it to me like I'm the idiot you claim I am.

Fuck level 100, fine - but f you for trying to tell me that I wasted 2 hours "meta" game preparing my character before I even played the game... since "when hell freezes over" is about when I'll own a 6L item to be able to house the skill gems I planned on using.

I also don't buy your guys' dar dar revolution of "end game" concept. Give me a break. You must be one of those trend setting cool kids. Because wanting to do something with your character for extended periods of time - even indefinitely - is such an "idiotic" concept. <rolleyes>
