I gotta say, as a brand new player to Poe 2 and the genre in general, hearing the very logical decision making process from these devs, is not only incredibly reassuring for the game, but also should be an example for the entire industry.

[@BeholdGaming]

Part of the problem I found with lower level maps is that generally they weren't difficult, but then suddenly one type of attack would just kill me, and the attack wasn't even anything big or choreographed. So it wouldn't feel very good because it's like the map lulled me to sleep then hit with something out of nowhere. Pretty much all deaths are like that. It'd be better if the map was just super hard from beginning to end bc then I'd be on my guard the entire time. But when I play a map for like 5min with no challenge, I assume it's an easy one I can beat until some attack comes that isn't anything special but ends up doing a lot more damage than anything else.

[@JimmyYYK9241]

This tend to happen to me too then I realized it's bc the map is rolled with a type of elemental damage amped for monsters and that elemental type is the one I do not have max resistance on. This can be further amplified if a rare or magic monster also have keywords for that elemental type. It is frustrating bc maxing out resistances is not something you can just do very early on given the budget and inflation and all that.

[@davidskidmore3442]

One thing that should help is they fixed a number of monsters that had weirdly high damage compared to others of their level, so while there will still be weak and strong enemies, the variation won't be quite so much.

[@seanthiar]

No, not everyone want to have it hard all the time. It should be a slowly rising difficulty and maybe have a damage cap on mobs in a map that they can't do a one hit kill.

I like 1 portal for maps ( bosses should have some amount of respawns ), especially when they will nerf a bit one shot stuff from monsters, magic find should stay but limited to gear, i am fine with honor if it is adjusted a little bit more for melee builds... Rest of stuff, i agree with.

[@MrRaja]

Upcoming minor patch. Boss encounters are on tablets now. Only pinnacle boss fights allow respawns. Easy mode 6 respawn less the more difficult. Minions... Oh well. Es scaling is OP because bleed is bugged. Once bleed works everyone is dying to bleed. Towers are getting 4 new layouts. Magic find is here to stay just get it on gear but not too much or you'll get rich too quick. Sanctum and Ultimatum 4th ascendancy is supposed to be hard and torturous.

It’s a perfect example of “sounds good on paper; but is not in practice” There is no place that, when playing, tier mods being better as they are higher is ever good. It’s fine with maps, and “tier X” items…but for mods you need to know how good the mods are. Since some mods can have varying tiers you’d have to memorize which items have maxs earlier than others…and even if they give the info on the tooltip you’ve just cluttered it more for no gain.

[@tihonannenkov4114]

@@bitharne maybe i am not in the majority, but I actually like not knowing what the best tier is, it is just an another thing to discover and a lot of PoE is discovering game knowledge, memorizing things, calculating and engaging in combinatorics.

Props to Ghazzy for moving on and not lingering either. I see what they mean about Armour. It sounds like theyre going to raise the floor of Damage Reduction scaling and then add gates of diminishing returns as the flat damage of the hit increases would be a decent fix. Wonder what they come up with though. They should nerf breach spawn rate by at least 50%, and replace 10% of the remaining enemies with rares. Obviously the %'s are just based on my feeling but they know better. They should keep XP loss, and add 6 portals in T1, removing 1 portal for every 5 tiers. 5 portals in T6-10, 4 portals in T11-15, 3 portals in T16, 2 portals in T17, 1 portal in T18 6 portals always spawn and is the max limit for parties, but the above is the limit per person The other option is to add +1 Portal Attempt as a corruption on the map, in my opinion.

Wish they asked about Rituals. Really nasty to be in small hallway with tornado and darkness flooded with mobs that do you in. Those are harder than any boss for sorceress at least.

[@Tritriumchannel]

I dont engage with rituals with any of my chars because theyre always in the worst possible positions, its obviously intentional. Theres just 1 char that i do all the rituals with: My corpsewade pathfinder with sacrifice & cleric minions. Because i can just walk around a tiny bit and everything just dies. With anything else its just ass and a deathtrap. I can highly suggest making such char just for the rituals alone.

Hey mate, you don't need to use any 3rd party programs to "fix" it. You can just manually set affinity for poe process through task manager each time you launch it.

The problem with loot on the ground is that you'll never care about what you're finding, because the chance of it being an upgrade for you build is lower than the chance of meeting a supermodel who wants you and has just won the lottery. The only two options you have to get gear are to craft it or to trade for it. And only one of those two options is 100% deterministic with the only cost being time investment.

SOLUTION FOR MAPS: Example: You enter T5 map. If you successfully completed the map. You automatically get T6 map dropped. If you fail the map, you automatically get T4 map. That way you always at least have one map you can play with, even if no additional maps dropp during that run. Also having the map upgraded to next tier on completion allows for excitement on trying to push higher maps in order and see if you can do them.

For the map loss topic, what if they did a "perfect clear, 3 portal" system? So when you run it you have all your juice, and that's dependent on not dying, but if you DO die, you can still try to clear 2 more times on a 3-portal system, but you are no longer juiced. It solves the keeping the punishment for death aspect, while allowing for follow-through in clearing that people are looking for, while still being restrictive by halving the portal count from the original 6 chances

[@Vluxuation]

They could even make it a bit more forgiving and just have a random map modifier or two (depending on how juiced it is) be removed per death.

[@Tritriumchannel]

"but if you DO die, you can still try to clear 2 more times on a 3-portal system, but you are no longer juiced." How would that be any different from whats currently in place? ->You die = the entire node is destroyed into an empty, useless, waste of my time-node. All they have to do is remove the loss of the node aspect from it. Can keep the 1 life mechanic, loss of waystone when failing, and even 10% xp loss. But the loss of the node itself is simply too much, and its what turns everyone towards meta builds, guides, etc... The loss of the node on top of everything else, ups the cost of dying to a completely unacceptable level. Its losing everything + punishment on top of it + dying itself is more often then not because of some random BS happening (off screen shit, that kind of stuff) Which amplifies the negative experience even more. (this was gonna get fixed) Keeping the node in case of failure whilst keeping all the other costly aspects, fixes all these things. Dying actually matterts now, instead of being "game ruining" levels of mattering and just in general a wholly negative frustrating experience. The "punishment" is still there (lose waystone, lose XP) It gives you a reason to get more waystones. It stops wasting players time going through useless nodes, by simply getting rid of useless nodes alltogether. The waystones themselves give the player the control over the difficulty, in case they surround themselves with nodes too difficult for them at higher tier waystones. I went from "holy shit this game is awesome" To "This is so trash, im gonna play something else", when i got to tier 8+ maps, because of the aforementioned. Every time i die now, i just alt F4 and go play something else instead. Because i just got my time wasted for nothing, and on top of it, i cant even try again to make up for it either. As everything is gone. Its the exact same dynamic as people having an issue with those pinnacle bosses or whatever being oneshots & them dying cause they dont know the boss yet. They lose everything, after having invested tons of time and resources into it. What im talking about is exactly the same but on the smaller scale. The fact its an issue in both scenarios, simply underlines the fact its a game design issue. You cant have all these combined at the same time. Hence, remove the loss of node aspect, you can keep the rest (just like they said u were gonna get more chances for the big bosses). It fixes everything.

Even if there are a multitude of players naming their character JOJO, their user account and email will never be identical.
