Make another game mode, let's call it "Merciful"? :)

I would like to suggest something. You could implement another game mode like Ruthless in POE 1, just the other way around. A mode where we have movement skills, where everything is a bit easier, more chill and zoom zoom if you catch my drift ;)


I think it could make alot of people happy. Plus we would see how many people would stick to this current "vision" of the game. Might be interesting.

careful, the masochist crowd will call you names like "gambling addict" then tell you to go back to PoE1 :)

Nice bait. I would like to see a change which made the game not so immensely luck based. Were we actually can actively upgrade our char and get actual power by playing the game and using deterministical options like we have them in PoE 1. But I don't need zoom zoom, I just need skills which are used to freeze enemies to freeze enemies without investing heavily into them and to get sockets on skills if I can upgrade them. Like default attack gets its 3 socket when we already upgraded literally all other skills and are short before getting 4th socket on the other stuff. That is crippling the system and all characters kinda.

But I also seem to be just bad, cause I cannot make sense out of the new druid and wolf form, people one shotting bosses with the same stats as I, but I need easily like 30 hits to freeze them, heavily invested into freeze build up and deal zdps if the enemies are not frozen.

I just don't get it.
