Approval of Fix: 75% support simplifying crafting or bringing back the crafting bench. 4. Boss Fights: Challenge or Chore? 👹⚔️ The Complaint: Boss arenas now reset when players die, and portals are disabled during fights. This design feels punishing, especially for solo players.

if you had posted "I don't like the end game" you might have a good thread.
Instead even people who agree with some of your points are just going to tell you: What part of "Grinding Gear Games" didn't you understand? Personally I think the balance in endgame is super far off and I think GGG knows it because they slapped it in at the last moment to give EA players something to do. In a game thats supposed to have engaging combat you can't set the RNG drop rates and monster speed/lethality balance points to be worse than POE1 ruthless. So yeah if they want their skill design to make any sense and not be a huge waste of development time that no one will ever use again at endgame they will have to make RNG better, and improve many aspects of the endgame. That said its still going to be a game about grinding gear. Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4.
If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years. |

" Yeah watcyihf YouTube video to understand the game isn't a chore. I remember all the other games where i had to do that and the list is: poe1 GGG is the only studio that makes bad games that require you to spend more time outside the game to do everything and gets a bandwagon of cheerleaders who accept this as okay Last edited by maquino85#7657 on Jan 12, 2025, 7:09:53 AM
