Oh they don’t ? umm, maybe I am not really thinking correctly then with the games, I could be wrong totally…
So you are on board with the ideas that game comes with it’s inherited difficulty setting that the devs believe is the best for the game and you just roll with it ?
absolutly. Cause they will make sure that the game is perfectly balanced for that certain difficulty.
There do not only come benefits from difficulty sliders. D4 is the perfect example.
People want better rewards for higher difficulties. But once you do that the people on lower difficulty will get upset. If you do not reward higher diff the people will ask “whats the point in playing higher diff”
D4 has a lot of complaining about exactly this and there is “NO” solution. That is a real problem for the devs, a problem that would not exists in 1 difficulty.
Yea, that is true lol. Can’t really argue with that.
Outside of some very closet cases, everyone is trying to play at the same level, anyhow. Do your best to balance for one difficulty instead of pretending your game has 10.
i think it is hilrious that they stated in early interviews that the insane amnounts of difficulties in D3 was a terrible design deision. (D3 has 20 dificulty settings…)
They made clear that D4 will have a different goal.
Now look where we are.
Them developing d4 is like those poeple going.
A a new year started, i will eat healthy now and i will get in shape. 2 days later they sit on the coach and devour 20 snickers.
Haha, to be fair, I always tell myself to loose weight but for some reason I keep growing the other direction… anyways, jokes asie,
D4 only has 4 difficulty setting not 20 yet…
Well i mean the devs seems pretty resistant to adding more judging by their latest camp fire chat when they talked about torment 1-4.
when did you played D4 last time? It has 10 difficulty settings atm.
oh I didn’t count the early 4 settings. Normal, hard, expert and penitent I did not count.
I only counted torment 1-4 as thats all it matters anyways lol
oh ya mistake by me too, there are only 8 difficulties.
Whatever the point stands. They realise too many difficutli options is bad. but then they do it anyway 
I realy wonder how the decision making process in d4 works. Every day someone else is in charge and does what he want? Kinda like snoke got killed in SW8 like a worthless peasent even though they builded him up in SW7 as the new villian. Just to pull another “wildcard” in SW9 with palpatine.
A clear vision is realy so important.
I have faith by Season 20 we will see a clear vision from D4 team on what that will be.
No more circle jerking 2 steps forward and 3 steps back type of deal
I actually think its good, if they stick to this, but bring down OP builds as teh norm. T4 the push tier is good, it has a cap to reach for. Campaing needs to be penitient and its better than it was.
Only thing i miss is capstone as it felt like a achievement dungeon. which was nice.
But why was the Capstone Dungeon Most fun?
2 reasons.
1 IT was a Challenge.
2 IT offered great reward in Progress.
Now when you understand this you See why Most of the content in D4 IS Bad.
Cuase where else are These 2 in place?
This IS why PoE2 IS so much fun. The entire Game feels Like that.
There are challening Bosses and when you Beat EM un get Progress.
ITS so simple
Ya Poe Dev’s are taking control of dps,they don’t want to make people to op in beta. They say its easy to give and hard to take back. Lots of leagues in the future the don’t want to ruin the gameplay.
If they did something like that, say easy mode you would have to lock the character in that mode. Most people want to play at the hardest level.
I just hit act3,it’s hard but doable. Quite enjoying it
Sarcasm: yeah should make kratos a playable character and start you at end of game powa
But instead of Zeus being a skill check , you just hit the boss and it explodes and drops garbage for 1000 times. For that killer poker machine feeling, when it happens oh yeah baby feels so gooood
