Ultimate difficulty too easy in SC using easily manageable gear

[Trudel]

The reality is, the game can be very punishing even for experienced players. Yes, most content will be GG easy after you’ve learned the game mechanics and know how mobs, elites and bosses react.

Which is ultimately the point of many games I’d wager. So thanks to Crate on a job well done as far as I’m concerned.

Few problems here and from my experience of how I’ve played since vanilla to current in just single player mode since this game is quite geared towards the single player experience…

Pre-AOM you could reach lvl85 mid act 3 in Ultimate while doing all the side quests in every difficulty. This is without farming, not playing crucible and staying single player.

Post-AOM you can reach lvl100 vastly sooner in ultimate providing you play the expansion through Normal and Elite which alot of players do. Infact there are some people that hit lvl80 and even lvl90 in Elite single player before they even start Ultimate because of the added content. On the other hand, if we take the individuals that skip playing the expansions in both Normal and Elite then you can reach lvl100 when you get to Malmouth city or somewhat sooner in Ultimate.

I do absolutely everything with every character and i reach level 100 late act 3 in Ultimate. So it’s pretty much the same as before. Don’t know how you are reaching level 100 sooner than that, unless you are intentionally grinding which makes your complaint kind of silly.

And you still haven’t answered if you actually fought any Nemeses or did any of the rogue dungeons because those are significantly harder than the main story. The main story is not the only thing in offer here.

Makes a thread complaining about the game being too easy.

Changes the goalposts to complain about leveling being too quick.

Holds D2 leveling time between near-max levels as something “fun”.

Presents D3 paragon levels as something that adds “fun”.

Casually discounts anything present in Grim Dawn, that is harder than content he has done/his build is capable of doing, or new content coming in the expansion that will add more difficulty…simply with a “I disagree”.

How is this guy not the biggest troll on the forum?

I remember when people though Warden was too tough.

…then it was Crowley…

…then people died in the first “trap” room in SoT…

…then people got rolled by the massive upswing in damage when AoM first came out…

Hell, the best players still have to be careful with certain Nemesis bosses…even when playing fully optimized, compendium builds.

I love that it doesn’t take ages to reach max level. One of the best parts of the game is to test max level characters against the hardest content and taking forever to reach max level would ruin this. Testing your character against the hardest content while not being max level feels empty to me because your character is not maxed out.

I’d rather have the option of restricting myself if i want to level slower than being forced to level slow through insane amounts of exp required. Yeah, i think Diablo 2 is a terrible example when it comes to leveling requirement.

Also yeah, hilarious that the OP started to ignore everyone who was asking if he did any of the rogue dungeons or killed any Nemeses and decided to complain about leveling instead.

Well, Grava and Loxmere can kill anyone, so I tend to skip them on HC. Alex can be troublesome for low-life builds.
