May 12, 20187 yr I'm an old school BG/IWD veteran who's also played POE1. And I'm only playing on Normal. IIRC, I don't think that I ever played PoE1 on anything but normal. I never felt the urge to try a harder level. I realize that some people don't think that they're challenged enough if they don't have their party defeated from time to time. I personally don't care about that. I just want to have fun. I don't want every fight to be a boss level fight. I don't denigrate fights against mobs of lackeys as "trash mods" or whatever. I'm playing to have fun and to enjoy the experience.
May 12, 20187 yr I played on Classic and found it to be challenging after the Tutorial island, I tried to make a portal jump and got wiped by a Boss soul collector. I don't find this game easy so far and just marvel a those that complete it on PotD and claim it was too easy.
May 13, 20187 yr I played PoE1 on PotD. I started on Veteran but found it too easy to the extent where I was bored with the combat. I restarted on PotD, and it was a blast throughout. The superbosses were a lot of fun, and Llengrath took me like 20 tries or something, but it was an incredibly rewarding victory in the end. I liked how it was crucial to learn how the status effect, stats, and other things in the combat system work instead of just effortlessly blowing stuff up on a lower difficulty. You'd really see the effects of a major debuff on the enemies. I'm playing PoE2 on PotD too, and so far it's easier than 1, but that's already being addressed by the devs. Edited May 13, 20187 yr by Multihog
