The state of PvP in PoE

I don't mean no disrespect, but capping so many things (or anything really) sorta promotes a success through mediocrity. Maybe a distinction, caps for 1v1 but leave arena as a sort of sandbox for showing off the showy stuff where men can really push it to the limit? I mean, there is also low level dueling for exercising restriant but then you don't get the really cool toys (though that would be an acceptable price for not letting people be the snow flakes we want to be).
I'm just concerned that you guys think any influx of folks into pvp will be anything other then people hearing that it'll be easier to get Leo's hideout, you're setting yourselves up to be heart broken. The people who aspire to be like you guys (aka pvpers) stuck around despite how harsh "balancing" is in pvp. It might look like 5 people at most, but you stick around arena for a day, even a non daily day like today, you see upwards of 20. That's not just the same folks either, always seeing new guys, just hope they don't have Gorsz expectations.

Gorsz is just another guy that is losing or has already lost faith. Started this game expecting it to eventually evolve into a PvP oriented end game. That rewarded time spent farming boring PvM content to better your character. Expected to be able to effectively outplay, out gear and out think others in PvP to win i.e involve brains/skill/reactions.

Instead he got 1 shot off screen by a guy playing Pokemon Go and not even looking. This same guy is missing 90% of his body, hes just a head propped up near a keyboard/mouse and his cell phone. Later on that day he killed himself on an afk players Tempest/Cwdt set up troll character. That guy wasn't even near his pc, was instead at the store or taking a dump.

PvP wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for everyone playing the "broken" stuff though. You do get decent matches sometimes. Thing is at some point you have to come to terms with what this game is. It's a game based on lots of build freedom and itemization. The only way you can ever balance PvP in this game to some degree is to hard cap certain mechanics and apply a proper PvP algorithm. I.e 40% crit chance, 400% multiplier, 5% life regen, es recharge caps, 50% block cap, 30/40 dodge cap with the block penalty still attached. Things like this allow you to still farm for the very best gear but eliminate topping it off in problematic ways i.e Rumi's. You build your character around these caps, they don't limit how good your gear has to be. If anything you'd find it opens up more gear freedom, allowing you to swap more easily regardless of your build to handle PvP issues etc. You don't give PvP only gear, normalized stats across the board or anything of that nature because that distracts from farming altogether. Only way the two co-exists is when you balance PvP this way where you both feel the game is balance and your gear/gear choices matter. Right now gear choices matter only so much, builds are hard countered more then they should be and/or you die instantly even in the very best gear in the game.


Thank god we at least got greendude to do something about pvp earlier! Had they given mulla the same chance we would probably be at 5 active players instead of 15
All hail free trips to NZ for some good slacking off.

Let's do work GGG! Send Mulla and IceDeal down there to crack some skulls while Lapiz video tapes it and gives notes.

Three years ago I would have come there myself as I spent quite a bit of time in Wellington.

He'd have gotten his ass thrown out of GGG's offices within the first 10 minutes lmao They probably would have put a restraining order on him and maybe had his like, visa taken away so he couldn't return to NZ


For real, send either Lapiz or IceDeal to GGG's offices, maybe they can guide them down the right path. Maybe.

You have one guy that thinks PvP is basically fine as it is in Lapiz. [Removed by Support]

Then you have Icedeal, ya he has a pretty good grasp on things but he'd still fuck PvP up because his opinion of PvP is still PoE PvP [Removed by Support]. This is a guy who used to play crit flicker dagger, now plays mjolnir discharger, la and who knows what else. He has yet to play something that required more then holding down attack. Nothing against him, [Removed by Support]

I wouldn't go and don't have time anyways. I own a business and work most of the day. [Removed by Support]

Still doesn't change the fact that you'd get thrown out of the offices.

Where did you get the idea I think the pvp in poe is fine though? It's far from fine at the moment like I've said or implied multiple times.

Also I would love to see some numbers from your business! They must be out of this world given your expertise in life.
