0.9.5g Patch Notes
" Well the only reason to group before was to keep up a portal, I think in general there needs to be more benefit to grouping, even if its not repeatable quests. For the repeatable quests the rewards I mentioned were probably too good, I ment there just needs to be more motivation for playing with others for a change of pace. Somthing like what Fiesta online has, in that game you can only sign up for instances once every 4 hours. In Fiesta, if gives you a break from questing / grinding to spend time playing with real people. |

" Can you imagine how insanely cool it would be if minions gained the socketed skills and supports? Hah fun thought. Speaking of which, anyone know if the player character still receives the socketed skills?

PoE needs only one thing to encourage grouping - separate drops per character in party (DEFINITELY not FFA like atm).
FFA loot = ppl will play solo in most cases no matter how many quests, group content, dailys or instances you'll put into the game. Modern games implement and change old group and loot mechanics not without reason (for example separate loot in Diablo 3 or public Craft Nodes and no mob tagging ("MY EXP AND LOOT FROM THIS ONE!") in Guild Wars 2) - they change that because these mechanics are: 1. Outdated 2. Definitely they dont encourage grouping... in fact they do exacly oposite. So i agree with you that game needs more gruop stuff and more groping benefits but i also state that with FFA loot rules adding whatever GGG will design is totally, totally pointless. |

uhmmmm aof cannot resist cold dmg? What is this crap. How can u do this change? Didn't u think before u did this change?
My templar is extremely strong with 27k dps. Now it still is, but with a pack of cold mobs i can NOT survive. I mean wtf is this change? Think before u implent such things. Chaos is full of cold missile mobs and i simply cannot survive because ill get frozen nonstop and CANNOT do ANYTHING! So yea, nice change to let the OP AOF guys not play chaos anymore, really helpful nerf of AOF........ I'd rather have my dps lowered by 10K than this!! This is sad... real sad. Oh and 1 more thing. If u do these kind of things, give a skilltree respec pls, because i definately don't want aof anymore. I can't imagine anyone will. Its totally useless at high lvls now. Way to go to make AOF from OP to useless and make half of the server quit :P Last edited by masteralbert#7415 on Jan 11, 2012, 6:33:46 AM
