Add an "Easy" difficulty option for the complainers

[Magpie]

Instead of campaigning en masse to nerf the base game difficulty because you find it too challenging why not ask for an EASY MODE difficulty option?

That way everyone gets what they want?

Please do not ask for the game to be nerfed when many of us enjoy the challenge and have no issue with it.

No they should not do it, if someone is not able to press more then 4 buttons, better play a first party Playstation game

How about the other way around, and make how it is now "Hard", since objectively, it's much more difficult than most every other isometric ARPG. The point being usually to feel powerful, not gimped.

The idea of it is to "git gud" learn from the mistakes you have done. Learn to dodge, learn boss fight mechanics. Not to just spam the same button over and over while drooling. If it's to hard... level up somewhere else and or gear up more. This is not everyone wins a ribbon race.

If someone like to be rek*ed - go play Darksouls

Agree with OP, give easy option to complainers if that is really a thing, i don't even care if they get the same rewards.
Just dont nerf it in the name of "we are so accessible to everyone", the end result of following that philosophy is usually a product that is for no one or a washed out game game. Keep to your vision, accommodate if it is really needed but don't sell out.

[iGroman]

Good idea.
Fun fact is - if they make Easy league - standart one is DIE in a week and they know it. Thats why they dont do it :(

As far as i understand - you are already close Atlas?
If boss in act 1 ending is HARDER than most of Guards in POE 1 - you can even imagine what is waiting for you at t16?

No Easy Mode. Play D4 if you want easy mode.

[Varitus]

Heh. This reminds me of D4 start. In that first week early access for people of high tier edition game was very good. Fun, challenging. you actually have to be proactive instead of just go LMB with spotify podcast in background. And here we are now in poe 2 :D Although on serious note - just give them easy mode and send in separate lobby. Surely if tarkov managed to do something like that - devs who are actually developing can too.

Roll warrior.... you can smash your head against the wall and try... roll ranger and ignore most mechanics... There is an issue with the design as it is.

[tolshortte]

this isnt helpful. feedback is a good thing.

there is clearly a wildly different experience happening from one player to the next. that should be addressed. "git gud" doesnt fix everything. sometimes adjustments to things, especially during onboarding, need to happen

[Magpie]

It's clear that people like iGroman (4 posts in this thread) are going to continue to cry as often and as loud as possible at anyone that will listen in an attempt to have the developers reduce the difficulty of the game. I just think adding an easy mode would effectively contain that kind of player and allow the rest of us to enjoy the game as it was intended.

Just add easy mode, then when they click start game, it rolls to the credits. That's about all they deserve. Other than D4.

I agree GGG needs to add a journalist difficulty
