Act 4 Normal Sucks and Is Way Too Hard
" Well.. "... What!!!??? are you serious? ,you have an lv 92 HC char...Have you ever done anything solo selfound and learned the game since 2013 when you started play the game?? ...Geee....1st time Piety ..(not google for videos , tips)went in , made a TP .noticed that the laser beam = avoid (took 90% life) Tp:out..went back,equipped some gems ,changed golem. AVOIDED the fucking beam...easy like hell.. Sadly ..Since the company need to cater "all"(moneywise) they might(hope not) nerf,nerf,nerf this game to death... It was more or the same bs with Dom at release.Note this is the first week ,many encounter the new act in the new leagues with no twink gears. I hate to say this..but..LEARN TO PLAY(I know all "can" play but= adapt+enyoj the challenge!½...(Absolutely no offence m8) Compared with POE 2011 when I started play in closed Beta this is easy mode..(Im not by any means a hardcore gamer..but Im an old fucker when it comes to gaming...started with commandore64..)

" Mate, your highest level char is 52. I appreciate that you are passionate about it but you havent experienced end game yet... |

I went through A4 Normal using a dual Flame Totem Marauder with a ton of HP.
"This isn't too hard," I thought, "In fact, this is pretty easy. Malachai is a little girl!" Then I hit A4 Normal using a character that is not a Marauder, and not a melee character using Fortify. "#$@% this bologna," I thought, "If you don't have staunching flasks, or Quicksilver Flasks, you're SHIT OUT OF LUCK against Piety! What is this malarkey? This isn't even corrupting blood, it's pure fuckery." I can live with the RNG gods frowning upon me on a daily basis. I'm okay with that. I can live with deaths that are MY FAULT, and don't feel cheap as hell. I CANNOT, however, live with getting insta-gibbed by an overpowered Piety who bleeds you to death in a matter of half a second. Literally. Can't live. Cuz die. Every other second. Everything up to Piety was great. Kaom's section is about one area too long, IMO, but I can live with it. Daresso's area is phenomenal. To me, everything after that is garbage. Just my two cents. |

" Well , played since Sept closed Beta..I only play HC leagues and delete the player upon death , only keep some for nameholding..I have played endgame,starting with Maelstrom back in the days..(dont ass/u/me without "good shoes") But thanks for your opinion and have a lovely summer M8!(and if anything is true=endgame have been slowly nerfed, Rgds , L (Btw , Op complained about normal Piety/malachai and Act 4 Diff. in general I believe) "Actually farmed Piety , what is hard??????sooooo easy to avoid that beam without quicksilver flasks(but why dont equipp one??? Dont run far from the biatch (easy maths...) (didnt have to pop one flask...you are doing something wrong) L **Better to burnout , than to fade away** Closed Beta Member since September 2011 Last edited by Lazze#6253 on Jul 16, 2015, 6:43:10 PM

i dont think the question is if the game is to hard or to easy but if builds are properly balance and how the devs expect us to play.
point i want to make is that i kicked normal malachai ass with little trouble but that dosent mean he was easy, it means that at that particular moment i was using better gear or skills. quite sure that if i atempted that fight with one of the less gifted builds or crappy ass equipment i would be writing an esay on why he is totaly overpowered. GGG chalange right now is to properly balance skills so they can all be competitive and whats more important balance the drops having in mind all playstiles, people should not be punished with terrible drops to a point that we have lv 6x using lv 4x equipment becouse they decide not to stack MF in every piece of gear they could spare. self found league fan

" Yeah I have 8 level 100s and beat all the act 4 bosses without ever dying. You're all terrible I'm the best. OH! I delete my high characters so you cant see. Obvious troll is obvious. Anyway, after the nerfs, it seems reasonable. You should level a character and find out! |

Well... after the nerf Mala and Piety are not that hard. Its doable like Dominus. You need to have 1,5-1,7k hp and know mechanics of each fight.
Too bad I rushed act 1/2/3 cruel and died to Berserker Corrupion in Sceptre of GOd. You think Malahai is hard? I had 2,5k hp and corruption boss one shotted me after going berserker :D FUck my life :D this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx-cCyNrG-g beware of it Last edited by azoriuss#0197 on Jul 16, 2015, 9:20:27 PM

Tried everything I could think of for a week to get through Act 4 Merciless with my Level 82 Shadow & get killed constantly. Can't beat Malachi at all. Created a new Witch that did not die once, til I got to Act 4, then died for everything above Magic level monsters --- got to Daresso & got killed with 5 zombies & 7 skeletons & Flame Golem every 2 to 3 seconds. More power to you if you can play. This was the only game of its type I've ever been able to play & now I can't play. Absolutely no fun any more. Really ticks me off I've spent so much money on this game!

" This was great.. thanks. Especially liked the evolution pic with the "missing Link" filled in. :) Act 4 far from sucks.. it's bloody awesome. But, just like Sceptre of God, it's a huge spike in punishing difficulty. I too had to zerg the bosses in normal despite facerolling everything prior.. and it had nothing to do with how many HP the bosses had or how little I knew the mechanics going in - they're readily apparent. Glass cannons need no longer apply. I wish GGG would pass all mobs through a normalization process that would have set min/max damage and health ranges by level and no matter what mods are applied to a mob, the mob would be adjusted to fall within the range. This allows for the interesting variety that the mods provide without the spikes in difficulty when particularly brutal mods roll together. It also removes the need for GGG to specifically prevent certain mods from rolling together, further increasing the variety. GGG has said previously more than once that they aim to reduce spike damage.. I think this is the best, however difficult to implement initially, way to achieve that goal. |

GGG,
I love this game - it is the best game in the best genre of games ever devised by the human brain. I HATE end bosses - not fun. I love to log in and grind. You have innovated so many ideas...how about a choice before you enter a boss battle? I am not ashamed to admit that I want to log on to a character and allocate points - I don't want to die 50 times while my blood pressure rises and my wrists hurt - I want to DESIGN characters and play them - I HATE super-difficult level-ends. This is why I log into POE this is why I keep coming back - I got my first alt up to Act 4 and started replaying Torchlight 2 the next day. I don't want to feel stressed out and overwhelmed - I just want to chill and level - make a league or zone for us non-competitive guys who just want to build characters and observe the map-creations like scientists. Thanks - |
