Current Development Priorities
" I don't care about the subject you two disagree but i know how to spot a child behind a keyboard. 1: Keeps calling other people names. 2: Rants about his opinion with pages of aggressive statements. 3: Is always absolute and never considers the opinions of others. 4: Keeps calling people whinners and mocking them. 5: He knows everything and his opinion is the only valid one.

There's a lot of good in this expansion. But that Labyrinth. Worst content in this kind of game imaginable.
I'll assume you haven't been reading the feedback section, because your word about the Lab was "we want players to experience the kind of adrenaline that HC players do". Well here's the thing. You only get one close call, and then you fail. Those traps hit way too hard. All the adrenaline rush for me comes after I die and really, really think about quitting the game altogether. I wasn't born with the super-twitch reflexes that you have to have to play platformers, so I don't play them. Why bring that kind of content to a game that is known for something else entirely? I don't expect a response, I just ask that you would consider all of your audience, and not just your pseudo-hardcore-players-in-standard who love Tomb Raider and Super Mario, and want some adrenaline without the league-demotion that comes with dying, when deciding what kind of content to gate the most powerful character upgrades you've done yet. Quoting Saltychipmunk:
...I look at the new act 5 boss where you have to hide behind the statues to survive the bullet hell and all I can think is... how the fuck are zombies going to survive that? They don't know what hiding is... they don't know what dodging is... they are morons. |

"Yeah i know I'm not the one you're talking to, but there's so much wrong in this post. I'm sure Chris appreciates you as his front-line PR man. "with a whole different kind of monotony. the stand and wait for a hole in the pattern kind. How wonderful. </sarc> "Or, you simply possess the neurological makeup of a plaformer-player, and some others do not. Only time I've ever been bored playing PoE was playing dual flame-totems. Which I ALSO don't do anymore. "Great way to have a dialogue/debate. Call the opposing point of view a bunch of whiners. Go you. "the comparison doesn't hold, when i can drop a tp outside core Malachai and at least have a couple of shots at him and not have to run the whole friggin map from the beginning, with all mobs revived. Are you a professional point-misser? because you're really missing that point like a pro. "Oh? Have I been playing a platformer/puzzle schmup for 6 months and didn't notice it? Please. "I don't somehow feel the sincerity when you wish a good day... maybe it's just me. Quoting Saltychipmunk:

" Because you cannot facetank the content doesn't mean it should be changed. And yeah going pure evasion against melee means you will die guaranteed. |

" Which means Perandus league should have been called "Evasion Sucks" league, right? Quoting Saltychipmunk:

Keep up the good work! Love how the game is right now with the new content!

" I'm honestly not sure anything will ever make me a fan of the Labyrinth (I just don't enjoy that type of gameplay), but I am a lot less resentful now. (I was VERY unpleasantly surprised by how INCREDIBLY LONG it is -- it's exponentially less trap-intense than I expected it to be, granted, and I appreciate that, but I'm not sure I like the trade, and I still got killed running an 80+ character through it in normal difficulty.)

Some Standard and Hardcore players (i.e. not those in the Perandus leagues) have a lot of characters that they want to Ascend. Running 18 Trials and 3 Labyrinths is a lot of work when you have several high-level characters from each previous challenge league. We will be running a process tomorrow that will grant some Ascendancy points to existing Standard/Hardcore characters. Characters in Cruel will receive two points and characters in Merciless will receive four points. You still need to run a Labyrinth to actually choose an Ascendancy class. This means that if you run the Merciless Labyrinth, it'll be equivalent to running all three (due to the bonus four points). Note that this is a one-time process that we run, and only applies to existing permanent league characters.
So you are just giving away ascendancy points now? If people have multiple high level characters then they should earn it on each one. GGG you guys always pull this shit. these people should have to wear a tag that says "cry baby ultra shitty gamer" if you can't handle the lab that is embarrassing. furthermore what a crock of shit excuse for GGG to push these baddies through the labyrinth. if you have a bunch of high level characters then you have plenty of time to ascend them, and why are you entitled to an ascendance anyhow? whatever, the joke is on GGG though, they are the ones handing out the reward to their new content simply to please a bunch of people who cant handle any sort of challenge in a video game, and found it easier to cry about the challenge on a forum to get through it then actually do it.

" I think this is beacause trap dmg is life-percentage based. I feel the labyrinth is not too Long. I saw people rushing through it in 15 minutes. I personally really like the new content. |

it's hilarious that path of exile went from "ultra hardcore game without compromise" to a game that literally in like 48 hours after a huge update is giving out the reward because the player base is so soft and utterly bad that they can't figure out new content or anything other than using their pre designed forum builds and spamming totems, spells, or summons.
what a shame, GGG enables. this game seriously has no credibility anymore.. handing out the fucking ascension points ? give me a break. |
