It's way more difficult than playing "fake it until you make it" mode. Not to mention never losing your gear in SC. HC is a whole different world. Not saying there is anything wrong with playing SC. It's just 100 times easier to get to and beat the endgame. I beat E.T. on Atari when I was 5. When it came out. This is what I do.

Nah, he's right. 7800 chances at even seeing the latest and greatest interesting gear and content drops? Who wouldn't rather literally make it to Sirus and die trying instead? Apparently, your different world. Also, two months on and still seeing name typos in this thread (not to mention "data analysts" who hate data, LOL). Spelled Sirus, pronounced Sirrus (nice one GGG), read as Sirius somehow... at least he's easier to spawn than Uber Elder. Can't wait to farm up my watchstones again next league as my second job. (2-3-2019) Buff underused skills (3.23?!)+ selfcast, stop nerfing defense, build in threshold jewels (3.23?!), implement D3-style looting, add death log + MTX preview, actually rework flasks, stop balancing around the .01%, unnerf Harvest, ADD NEW WAYS TO LEVEL, finally implement Loot 2.0	Posted by Ashriel#5520 on Feb 12, 2020, 7:52:43 PM Quote this Post
" Shade_RU_N53 wrote: 1. Sirrus fight was really broken the first, most active, month of the league. Obviously, you'd expect a lot of deaths on broken encounters. 2. The encounter itself is taking more than 70-110 maps to even attempt. Dissolve that in more required activities (Syndicate being mandatory) and time to reach it becomes grossly long compared to the old endgame encounters. 3. These old endgame encounters are taking even longer to attempt now, also being inherently random (like, you can have 4-7 sets of 3-keys with 4th key being missing altogether). 4. The current endgame has become totally unrewarding. There's little chance of endgame bosses dropping anything valuable and time to reach them is both random and extremely long. All of these notions should be clearly visible in statistics if you break it up. On a sidenote, Awakened skill gems are an error. If you need to equip a totally different set of gems for the endgame, levelling and qualitying anything else becomes a waste of time and resources. That the current game is balanced around these makes at least some of these mandatroy, which is even worse. You can obviously make a game for 3% "best players" -- but how many of the rest will remain to pointlessly grind with no reward? Diablo-clone ARPGs are based around character development -- and you can't develop if you don't have anything to develop. Delve, for example, was different -- players actually could progress their gear. But it was gutted. This... I strongly agree with this. I have set my atlas with Awakened level 8, killed the conquerors several times and attempt to kill Sirus quite another bunch (some failures, some successes), not a single awakened gem or something of which I could bank some currency. The fact that it takes way too long to reach the core of the end game is... Boring. And once you have fully potential you lose the interest in the fight.

1. Endless issues with the storm clouds. 2. Constant one-shot deaths from a Sirus you can't even see on your screen 3. Dying because you can't escape his comet-maze because you are too close to the stairs. 4. Getting to Sirus requires far too much time and RNG. 5. Lack of color contrast between the damaging ground and the normal ground. 6. The Sirus effigy in the sky isn't transparent, making it even harder to see what's going on in the fight. Don't take it from me. Here's 28+ pages of anger. Nearly unanimous. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2701376/page/1	Posted by DissonantOne#2983 on Feb 12, 2020, 8:05:48 PM Quote this Post
