Two modes?

So, I've been browsing the forum and engaging for quite sometime now and I think I have a viable solution to all of the complaints.


There should be two game modes in the game.

Game mode A should be called "Redditors mode"

-You can never die
- All mobs have 1 HP
- Every mob drops 100 of each super-rare currency and lvl 85 rares
- MS is set to 200%
- in end-game all maps have infinite deaths to attempt to complete the map
-All one-shot mechanics and things that teach mechanical skill are taken out.
- IN the top left corner is a small TV screen that they can only access this forum and reddit and MUST complain about how horrible and how much they hate this game.
- Every session on the hour they can a direct line to GGG's hotline so that the Devs, who never get to go on holiday cause video games are the most important thing in life, will take every person who is angry and immediately change the game to suit every need and desire of every person in this league.
- All trades are capped at 1 exalt. The best items in the game cannot be sold for more than 1 exalt.
-At the log in screen it will say POE 1 instead of POE 2.
- All skill-based mechanics will be taken away so that no challenge is ever there.


Game Mode B- " Normal Mode"
- The game stays at the baseline of what it currently is
- The game, which is already good, will slowly evolve and morph over Early access to prepare the game for full release.





I think this will solve 99% of the people who are complaining on the forums about things that are 100% a skill-issue and a lack of learning mechanics.

Let's also add another game mode for all the elitist pros. Let's call it "CHAD GOD GAMER" mode.

HC, SSF, No Sound, No UI, 680x240 resolution, Only One Button on your keyboard works and it can't be the Space Bar, You must have a massager strapped to your mouse hand set to maximum at all times, 8000DPI, When entering boss room your monitor randomly turns off every 5-15sec for 1-5sec, No flask, No Charm, No Currency, -300% magic find, +500% monster HP and damage.

Also having "You can never die" and "in end-game all maps have infinite deaths to attempt to complete the map" is kinda redundant, might wanna rebalance those chief.

Jokes aside: we can compromise and make all the options people want - optional. In things like atlas passives, separate game modes, togglable options on the map device or smth similar.

nah lets just make a 'custom' button on character screen which will offer 101 sliders for everything in the game, something like factorio does. then you get a score based on how far your sliders are and it gets put as a number on your forum badge so everyone knows how badass you are. if you have all sliders on max then you are allowed to use the phrase 'git gud'

Sliders!? In PoE?! How dare you suggest something Non-RNG!

Make it a craftable token, for which you can use your currencies to set the values on it. You can even Vaal it to beyond +500% Monster HP and DMG! You can Vaal it to have -600% MF! Exalt it to get an additional modifier like "+500% radius on on-death effects" and "monsters now drop negative gold, taking your gold when you pick it up"!

I remember seeing a video called something like "worst audio slider options", and one of them was just you press the speaker button and it sets the volume randomly to between 0%-100%, and my head immediately went to "Yep, that's how PoE should do it"
best idea ever
I really hope GGG doesn´t listen to the super casual players and make the game so much easier. We all know what happened D4.


However I really hope GGG is releasing the Druid and Huntress soon :D

Me too. Nor the super-hardcore players. There should be room for people who want different experiences from the game without it messing with anyone else.

I am excited about the huntress too! And for third ascendancies for the classes we already got!

They won't. The majority of players love the game and know there is some slight tweaking that needs to be done. The people complaining are just a vocal minority. Steam alone has 10x the amount of positive reviews than all complains on this forum and reddit combined.
