So some streamer with maxed out everything - quite a lot of which was supplied by his herd of sheep - says powercreep is taking over poe, and the sheep run around baaing about powercreep.
What a surprise. Some streamer mentions ehp and suddenly the sheep are all going on about ehp for days, even though not a mention of it for years prior. Shocking. It may come as a shocking surprise to the sheep that not everyone has the most maxed out gear possible for the most powerful fotm build. The vast majority of players aren't. Not sure why exactly because their own characters aren't maxed out or even close, nor will they ever be most likely. Though they know there ehp by heart and are absolutely positive powercreep is going to kill off poe any day now. Then we have the people who focus on trade more than actually playing the game. In which case they can have the most powerful whatever as soon as its possible to get it. So no matter what GGG does, they are not going to be 'challenged' unless the mobs are jacked up so high the average (majority) of players obviously won't stand a chance. Trading is a shortcut. A shortcut to the end of your progression. After having put forth all the effort to shortcut your way to being maxed out, don't act surprised to be there. This is pretty basic logic. If in doubt, start a new account if you are in standard, or a new char in the new league and don't trade for profit as if its a job, just play the game and buy the occasional item from what you find. Don't take gifts from anybody and don't run in a group of people who do any of these things. You know, just play the game like a regular player. I think you'll find the 'powercreep' baaing is way overblown. Now if you play 8,10,12 hours a day You will get to the point where the game is easy for you again fairly quickly, but its pretty unrealistic to expect a company to build a game around people who devote their life to it. This isn't something the majority of people can or will do. TL:DR powercreep is only in the imagination of those who have manipulated the system in some way to reach the end of their progression. Its kind of foolish to manipulate your way to the top and then complain about being there. The game is pretty well balanced for anybody who plays in a normal fashion. Try to be the person your dog thinks you are.

A few people seem to be indicating that the implicit values are overwritten by enchants? I knew vaals woudl overwrite, but I didnt think enchanting did?

There is no "normal fashion". Everyone plays at his own pace. Some 3 hours a week, others 10 hours a day.

" Enchantments are implicits, so yes, it should overwrite. |

Would someone who has posted "POWER CREEP" in the their comment care to explain to me what they think this means. If I'm not mistaken, it means new items out weight older items making the older items less popular/powerful. If this is the case what do you power creepers suppose would be a more suitable alternative? Never adding new content and letting the game become stale and die, or just adding mediocre item's that never break new ground leaving the game to once again become stale and die. I don't get it......
I am really not as bad as they say I am.
I am actually a really nice person. Haaahahahaaahahahahahahahahahaaaahahahaha |

" Very nice post. This is how it is. I couldnt explain this because my lack of english. Happy some1 sees this and post it. |

" Thanks - I didnt realize enchanting overwrote implicit values. That sorta blows. As others have stated, I dont think I would opt for 15% projectile over decree of war |

GGG just took a huge dump into the face of all the people who crafted items in this game.

These are items that I would throw away at first sight due to my inexperience in the game. Can anyone share with me what makes these items so important? That amulet, for example, there is already a coral amulet that has health regen right? I could be wrong.
What are the valuable affixes I should look out for on these white items? Thanks! |
