Havoc got 2 level 100 in this HC season league
" That. Cause let's face it getting 100 is not that difficult. Getting high (enough) level maps in high (enough) quantities so you don't get shit exp to get there is. Streamers are like IRL soccer teams OMG my heroes i'll do anything to help (suck c***)! /hand_maps |

HvR is an extreme example, that is true.
But what about me? I played for mere two weeks and pumped a character to level 99. The mere reason I did not push further to 100 is because I still need to work on my phD. I only have four stash tabs and I have stored a total of about 400 maps which I will uncraft into whites to let me reach 100 from 99 safely. If even someone like me can hit 100 easily, I do think we have to rebalance the game again. |

" Time is not kind to an arpg. The veterans get better at min/maxing and faster playing as they're used to what all the creatures attack moves are. On the other hand the new players are, well, new and thus know nothing so if GGG ramps up the difficulty factor more for veterans then the new players are killed out faster and quit at an even higher rate than they do now. So the gap between what the veterans what and what the newbies can take grows ever wider. Unless GGG can code a way to allow for a difficulty slider then the gap will keep increasing and increasing. So Havoc is one of the top players and can rush a build to 100 in a few weeks. There are always outliers that screw up the statistics for the rest of us, whether it was the brainiac in school that screwed up the grading curve or now in PoE to fowl up GGG from keeping top elites off the level 100 ladder in under a month. Probably means that Havoc has played out PoE and it's time to move on to other games to find a challenge. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration. The perfect solution to fix Trade Chat: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2247070 |

Out of the top 15,000 players in Hardcore Perandus League (which is a 3 month league) 137 of them managed to reach level 100. Character 15,000 being level 87 ( and dead ).
If in 3 months only 137 hardcore characters manage to reach level 100, I think the state of the game is perfect, especially considering the next league is going to surprise people with different trials of difficulty. Every individual has the option to take the easy way out or challenge themselves, those who wish to take the easy routes and complain honestly should expect their voices to fall on deaf ears. If you ran a chaos damage toon , or vaal molten shell.. then ofc you were the same guy running the linear maps with no challenge whatsoever, probably rolling off any type of modifier that could even almost get you killed. The average player who does not push themselves and casually enjoys the game will probably not even hit level 90 within 30 days, the flashback event is a pure exception considering the amount of flashback mods that the race was loaded with. OFC when you have all those opportunities to farm xp you are going to progress much faster, all it did was add an absurd amount of content into one small race. Until there is 500 level 100's in a 3 month league I think these types of conversations do not even warrant discussion. This game is in it's prime and everyone is trying to pick apart the smallest scent of a flaw to create negative conversation. If you are bored while waiting for the next league simply play something else until fresh new content is at your disposal offering up unique challenges to your progression. |

" How do you level to 99 without getting 1 single achievement done? Didn't think it was possible. Or you are talking about your standard/stHC characters? The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change.
Welcome to PoE. |

" Yes standard. I see that if I can reach level 99 in 2 weeks on standard I can do it in leagues too. In fact a friend advised me that it would be easier in leagues due to the larger active player base to party with. |

" Daily reminder that Apathy doesn't have a single lvl 100 char. Disappointing tbh. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
