I don't think you're reading me here. I'm saying if you never fear dying you're not engaging with the combat design. If you wipe out a boss in 4 seconds, because you've played an ARPG before and the health values are designed for people who dont, you haven't done the boss.

Tier 2 enemies literally have better AI in this and fight you in more interesting ways.

Don't do this. One of the cooler things about d4s combat design is how you interact with enemies and attacks and easy mode won't ask for that at all. You won't want to equip a defensive skill. Its for the lowest common denominator player and in a blizzard game that's rock bottom

You're talking about maybe a 15% faster levelling experience in exchange for having way less fun

Guy hits his defensives. Good job.

Good Citizen posted:

Yeah, basically. There are no item drop bonuses for WT2 and the increased gold/xp is more than offset by the increased enemy HP in most all cases.

Really good sign from the design team that they made a whole tier that's entirely useless to have. These people sure know what they're doing!

Almost all difficulties below torment in D3 were also useless.

It's easy enough to fix. Make it a tiny bit harder, give it a little drop rate boost, problem solved.

during the development of Halo, they "improved" the ai by just giving the enemies more health so they had time to actually showcase their programmed behaviors instead of being rapidly evaporated by the player

I tried both World Tier 1 and World Tier 2, and I found WT2 to be more fun on a moment-to-moment gameplay basis. So that’s what I’ll be playing. More fun > less fun. The fact that it takes a bit longer to complete is not a bad thing in this circumstance.

If you had the choice to watch one of two TV show seasons, wouldn’t it boil down to which you enjoy watching more? Would it matter if one was 10 episodes and the other 12 episodes?

Yeah the journey is cool and all, but what about folks who are only watching the show to get their Netflix login inscribed on Reed Hastings’ toilet? I think you gotta go for the tenner in that case.
