2.3.0 Changes to the High-level Experience Equation
|
So, GGG did you see here at least one person happy with this "strange" change ? Thta the point run etc to buy red maps ? They are boring, bad layouts and dont rewarding at all.
And you decreased T9 maps drop? Coz in this lygue i cant sustaine them at all - bought +35 maps T9 and with after all i must to buy again .... Perandus lygue i was lvl 100, this lygue - 90lv and im done. No fun at all. Last edited by Life2v#6168 on Jun 28, 2016, 7:53:50 AM

" No we don't. You THINK we do, but a lot of us don't. Honestly, the sheer arrogance of your presumption is not acceptable. Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs. We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right. Last edited by Hyskoa#4601 on Jun 28, 2016, 8:06:33 AM

" I'm gonna need a source for that information? Was your study peer-reviewed? I'm guessing this was more of a pull-it-out-of-our-asses situation. |

I don't know what's going on, but it seems a lot of people feel entitle to level 95+. I've not seen any other game where getting to the highest point of a character was "easy". Most MMORPGS require a ton of grinding to get the best/better gear once you get to end game.
I am personally satisfied with the way the experience is right now. Just playing the game casually got me to lvl 91 on my self made character and frankly, I wouldn't have even noticed the exp rate was nerfed until I saw all the whining and complaining. I am in the boat of folks that believe level 95+ should be very hard to get and require a lot of grind. While I agree the "speed mapping" meta isn't great, it IS a personal choice that players make and it exists in all games. There will always be a group of people or a mindset on trying to get through content the fastest way possible. I don't see why being the "best" should be given to everyone equally, as opposed to those who seek it out. If a player wants to get the best xp/min, why should they be criticized for not doing the "hardest" content? If a player seeks security in leveling, as opposed to risking death (which is big in higher levels), why is running t8-t10 "bad" for going to level 100? I think what's going on is people are feeling entitled to get the best of the game through barely any effort, and it's making them blind to any logic or sense. |

" This is a trading game, so applies to everyone. Lvl 76 Gorge map 4c. Lvl 78 Crematorium map 2.5c. | |

That's just supply and demand. It doesn't reduce the value of maps for everyone else who isn't just doing speed runs...

" from the economical point of view your argument does makes sense, for most players the decision now is: can strongboxes with +itemlevel return craftable bases or can the area itself drop them or does it give the most xp/hour. there is a difference between "worth less" and worthless, i assumend you meant the latter. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

I really don't understand what most of the people here expect of the game.
This is an ARPG, not an MMO. It does not have to cater to people that play only 2 hours a week. This game is modeled after Diablo 2, where getting a char to 100 was an immense achievement and took extremely long, for a miniscule benefit of a few passive points and attribute points. In PoE the benefit of getting to 100 is even less, so I absolutely do not understand why anyone feels entitled to reach 100 easily. If you want to get a char to 100 over a longer period of time, you can play standard. Getting a char to 100 in a temp league should be very very hard and require a lot of dedication. Also, the league is now how old, 4 weeks? You still got 2 more months to get a char to 100. All of these suggestions to make it only harder for the people that play the most are just stupid. As said, this is not an MMO where GGG wants desperately to keep players subscribed even when they just play 30 minutes a day, just for them to pay the subscription. It is probably the opposite here, the more you play, the more you care about MTX, stash tabs and so on. Penalizing players who play more than others is absolutely against the spirit of PoE. The race to 100 should be long and hard and only achievable by the most dedicated. I have to agree on one thing though: The current XP table is strange. It should not be the case that harder maps get a higher XP penalty than lower maps: Level 70: 70 -> 70 Level 71: 71 -> 70.94 Level 72: 72 -> 71.82 Level 73: 73 -> 72.64 Level 74: 74 -> 73.4 Level 75: 75 -> 74.1 Level 76: 76 -> 74.74 Level 77: 76.9 -> 75.32 Level 78: 77.7 -> 75.84 Level 79: 78.4 -> 76.3 Level 80: 79 -> 76.7 Level 81: 79.5 -> 77.04 Level 82: 79.9 -> 77.32 Level 83: 80.1 -> 77.54 Level 84: 80.2 -> 77.7 We can see here that level 71 maps are only penalized by 0.08%, while 84 maps are penalized by 3.11% (level wise, not XP wise). I would rather sharpen the XP penalty on a character basis. If the map is 10 level lower, the penalty should not be 8% but 50%, or even 10% per level difference. This should only be in effect at 80+ |

" Pretty much describes the actual problem, reaching level 100 taking a lot of time and dedication isn't the problem but instead how you most efficiently get there. In game contact @MajorAsshole

Make the top 50 players getting Exp Penalties. And the closer you get to the top 1 Rank the higher the Penaltie gets.
This would mean a massive Player Juggle in the Top Ten, which would be very exciting to watch, and top players need to make new strategies to maintain there postion or maybe sacrifice it for the moment to get more xp, and get back to top at a later point in the race. This is just a poor example from a scrubtard like me, but i maybe it holds some potential. |
