What were the Devs thinking? I am NOT (repeat NOT!) 'entertained' by the new difficulties for Ember and up. For that matter, the entire world! I guess I was under the mistaken impression that THAT was what the DIFFICULTY SETTING was for. NORMAL SHOULD be FUN, with a SLIGHT challenge...NOT a Potion-Sucking-trip-into-Drudgery!
If high level people were [censored] about the 'easiness' then Ramp Up the percentages for HIGHER Diff's NOT NORMAL.

Sanction, cool down.
I cannot say much about it as I always use much pots due to I always run insane abby on 100 difficulty. Still I can say loads and loads of players wanted more challange. Well there it is, and what the devs get? This kind of angry threads.

Bringing your problem/suggestion on another way would be far more reasonable, would get better reactions and above all, would be taken serious.

I like it! Before I could walk through level after level and only ever drop potions during boss-fights. This was a welcome and enjoyable change for me.

(but I'm not nearly as high a level, so who knows how much it changed in that area...)

Good idea on the "Easy"

steve

I think "easy" would be too heavy on the exp. The only reason anyone goes on normal is for powerleveling, giving barely a thought to loot.

Re: LR's Bringing your problem/suggestion on another way would be far more reasonable, would get better reactions and above all, would be taken serious.

1) I'm new to forums (in general) because...
2) I am never sure exactly what/where/how to use them and...
3) I was just too damn P.O.ed about my favorite game almost going into the toilet. The new rampings ruined the FUN of the game.

RE: the EASY w/-%25 setting

Fine. I have no shame about playing EASY, but it bugs me that the Devs messed with, what I call, a perfect mix. If I want a challenge, then I set it to something higher.
On Second thought, NO! Normal was just fine until they messed with it. If people think that Insane is not hard enough, then add an IMPOSSIBLE layer to it. Why mess with ALL players just to satisfy the ones who like it hard?

RE: Other thoughts that are bugging me:

As it stands now, the only Fun left is playing my Mage. Fighters are too in-your-face when it comes to being swarmed by all those (self-censored) little-creeps. Rangers are, by name, SUPPOSED to be RANGED...One thwack at a monster and the whole group starts looking thru your pockets to find a place to camp. They should not ALL automatically know where the shot came from.

That's all for now.

{Signature should be...Don't get me started}

Ever ask why the devs did what they did... I'll say it again because apparently the new kids didn't get it the first time.

This is "multi"player game... all gripes can be handled with just 2 or more people. If you want a solo player game go back to Diablo because.. FYI difficulty is for groups.

Was that harsh? I think it was.. but its was anything but insulting... take these truths in the spirit in they were given and quit deleting my bloody post.

Wow Drac. Completely different reason than Stephen actually gave for making that change. Might be why your posts get deleted?

I like the Easy setting idea too. I dont build the best chars in the world so this patch hit me up pretty bad too. I probably could do a lot better making chars but mine are geared more for fun than uberness. IMO if your not having fun than your kinda wasting your time.
