Mechanics thread
" A bit off from what you two had a talk, but this should be mentioned more, and shouldn't be overlooked. This is the worst part. Game must be encouraging to party, if not then why PoE is made for the sake of being an "online" game in the first place ? This is causing because; - Game is already easy to solo that no one would ever in need of calling others for help, most of the time. - Game doesn't reward players in terms of xp, as it does for loot inc. per additional player in the party. - Difficulty scaling per additional player is just not enough. After implemention of auras, and keystone support gems, many things already became much much easier than ever in terms of difficulty. As an evidence i could tell that just before migration started, in a party with 4 players, i was just moving my character from start to finish in a Chaos map, my axe 90% of the time was just licking the air.

" With Skill gems... So what modifiers stack? Apparently Multiple Projectiles does not stack the projectile count, but does it with the damage reduction? What about Item Rarity/Quantity? |

" Game should not demand partyplay over most parts (maybe let out some side areas or special monsters on the very last end), it should find a way to balance all ways of playing (from solo to full party) to an nearly equal level of difficulty - just IHMO. For me, the fact that it is "online", is just a decision of the distribution and to handle solo and multiplayer in an equal way of access. Not every game which offers its game environment (the "world" , for this kind of games) and stores the game scores online is in real demand of being pure multiplayer; its just more simple to combine both modes. invited by timer @ 10.12.2011

BTW I've confirmed that a party of 2 or 3 gets less experience. Thoroughly tested. Not sure about larger parties, if the mechanic improves the bonus exponentially per person it might become more experience in a full party.
Note also that my solution solves the problem of letting people cheat the experience system by: Making a party with an alt account or friend, have the friend leave party in instance and go afk at the entrance, farm xp solo gaining the full xp amount and bonus by yourself. If you make it so everyone gets full xp but only apply a bonus in proximity to party members, you have enforced partying. |

" Two support gems of the same type do not stack with one another. At least they are not intended to - if you find a case where two copies of the same support linked to the same skill gem stack, please report it in the bug reports forum. |

Each item has a level associated with it that is equal to the monster level of the area it dropped in. You can check an item's level by picking it up on the cursor and typing /itemlevel in the chat box. This item level determines which modifiers it can receive, and how many sockets it can receive.
So item lvl determines how many sockets, and what kinda modifiers it can recieve - does it also determine how big the modifiers are? |
