There is constant power creep in this game - a lot of the problems with older items becoming redundant stem from this. Don’t worry, there will be Torment 20 and GR 200 in no time.

Increasing GR cap is not so simple. After GR159 the maximum monster health exceeds the range of 64-bit integers. In order to increase the cap there must be more comprehensive changes to how GRs scale.
It can be done but requires something different than just increased numbers.

128-bit integers anyone?

Maybe for 2 reasons:
1º The monsters HP will be so high that the engine could not calculate.
2 º Some players get annoyed (without logical reason) that the top players reach GR much higher than them.
IMO, it’s a mistake to keep the cap. I don’t know the engine limit, but I think they might increase it to 159. Or work it out once and for all by lowering the monster’s HP number, just add armor to the monsters by a factor of 50% (or more) so it can drastically decrease the number HP
I don’t know why some people say that unlocking the level will be a powercreep. Even now, the best level for XP farm is 140 ~ 145. Even if they could raise their gems to 160, we would still have a very low power boost compared to the paragon and the huge set and item buffs.

Sorted. Slap a 90% damage reduction onto all monsters and cut the hp values by 90%. Now we can have GRs 10 times as difficult as GR 150 using the same hp cap, while preserving the current balance of enemy damage to toughness.
Fixed.

Bots would love gr 200, they would eat that up like candy and be paragon level 9999 in no time

The need for higher GR is just a side effect of power creep. It doesn’t cause the power creep - it is just sad to see the need for higher and higher numbers all the time.

Exactly, that’s what I talk about.

It’s true.
If we actually get to the point where GR 150 becomes soloable, they should seriously consider something that keeps the numbers down. Like reducing the damage boost gained from main stat from 1% per point to 0.1% per point.
For the player character, damage output capabilities have already exceeded toughness capabilities in terms of good balance i.m.o. That’s the reason why support monk has become so mandatory for meta group GRs.
It might already be good for the game to reduce main stat’s damage boost.
Easy for you botter no lifers. GG troll.

because more numbers more lag. and more problems let the cap be max 150 is good for all of us

They need more money to upgrade their servers to add more content.

I’ve been thinking for a while now that they need to take all the current numbers and move the decimal to the left one or two points. We’d effectively be in the same place but have more room to grow, no?
Would the smaller numbers help server calculations?

bots have been in control for awhile, just give them more xp to get to paragon 9999 faster

LoL, you are not making any sense.
It takes over 6 weeks in a 4 man run every day to do a gr150.
HC and SC make it to gr150 around a 6 weeks or so.
Noone does it in the first week of season.

Forgive me, but your post still doesn’t make any sense. Explain yourself.
Should the cap be kept because we can’t do 150 solo? What is the logic of this?
Completed 150 on PTR Season.
So I think we can do it in less than 4 weeks.

Well PTR doesn’t count with all the free gear your given. Plus with character copy, you already can have 1000’s of paragons.
And as stated, the 150 is the cap only because of the limit of numbers. Health can’t go above i believe its 18 Quintilian due to limits.
The only way to increase GR’s is to compress damage down. Basically in order from them to go higher, they will have to keep monster HP the same and given them something like all damage resist that scales at 17% per GR higher. I mean it is possible but would have to be some different form of GR since its not the same as 151.
Example:
Clear a 150GR. Unlocks GR150 Prestige 1 (Monsters have 17% damage resist).
Clear that, unlocks GR150 Prestige 2 (Monsters have 31.1% damage resist).
GR150 Prestige 3 (42.8% damage resist)
etc etc.

Raising the cap from gr150 to 175 or 200 would be an awesome thing for Blizzard to do.
-
This may not be so easy tho:
The RoS core source code may be such that to raise from 150 would mean a rewrite of entire source code. -
Blizzard may be saving the rewrite of gr 150 to gr 200 with a huge patch in the next year or so.
So let’s cross our fingers and hope for the best!
