In the future, we'll release content that has a higher monster level than level 84. This would make the race to 100 even faster.

Not if done right. Rifts please. No exp. Limited loot only from boss at end of rift. Your atziri boss was fantastic and kept me entertained for almost year. need more like her to challege end game builds and as another method of competition.

Screw mind numbing drive to 100. Never interested me. Challenges/achievements neither.


But challenging a build on scary as hell bosses do. Which test build quality, reaction time, play-style instead of how much time you have to waste.


I think it could encourage more party play as well. As difficulty is unlimited, you would have to have a well thought out support crew to get far.



Finally Chris, I'm sure others have said it. You are going about this wrong way if you wish to make 100 harder.

9's should not give any EXP to a 95

15's 3-4%.

Not 1% and 1%

There is no point to running hard maps. Risk vs reward is not there.

Build quality lol... just pick any new or old obvious OP build that hasn't had the nerf hammer because of incompetent and clueless GGG balance, and face roll everything yea that's a big time challenge. Like CoC discharge which is basically untouchable from nerfs, and pretty much any range skill which you can run with your eyes closed. Or now the near perm Jugg IC which as soon as the change was announced, half the dam forum was crying OP before it's even tested. Um sorry to burst your bubble, there's no real rocket science in 'build quality'.

You can really 'challenge' (more like gimp) yourself by doing all the hardest content without dying, using the most crappy ass, unbalanced builds so basically, like 80% of stand still target, hack-n-slash pure melee skills.

They do this and I'm out without other changes. You have to be able to sustain a map pool at tiers capable of leveling to 100 within a normal person's lifetime.

Awesome builds btw, your juggernaut build may be my favorite of the game, all time.

Then you guys should implement Exp fatigue system. The faster the exp a player gain, the more exp penalty he will receive.(and you balance this system around the top players) They still can race within the fatigue system, exp bar still move just slower.

quite a number of MMO implement this trick to stop the no-lifer from leveling 1 character too quick & this system does not punish the more casual players who do not have 14-16hours a day to play the game but still wanted to go max level & have some progression.

+1 This is the best feedback/suggestion regarding the changes.

Congrats on steadily pissing off your player base, but this sorry excuse of a development post or whatever BS you want to call it, is the last straw.. will NEVER get a penny of support from me again.

Says the guy with zero support packs.

Also quite a few users here with 35-40 challenges completed speaking as if they are the majority or acting like casual players when in fact they are like 0,01% of player population. In other words the minority.
