"the entrance has collapsed"

Since when did Haku missions become utter bullshit?


That's after I died from falling rocks which seem to now deal the ridiculous damage they used to do, while blue flicker spiders spawn all around...

so much for Zana's "complete another master's mission" Daily.
fuck.

I expected to see the post dated August 20, 2014.

haha yeah probably it was reverted to that state.

the mission went like this:

- "find the spirit before time runs out".
- I do that. kill the boss and pick up the spirit.
- rocks start falling and spiders start spawning. no timer.
- die eventually. try to come back and get greeted by this BS.

there is nothing to suggest you have only one attempt. not even Haku's briefing and I read it again just to be sure.

why?

Because he is EVIL and wants you to fail!

you are enjoying the fact I'm angry about this - but my main point is there absolutely nothing here to tell the player there is no 2nd chance.

by comparison, one-attempt Zana missions tell you "don't die or leave Zana's map".
and Haku missions typically do have 2nd chances. I even managed to barely beat the timer after dying and re-entering, on a few occasions.

PoE isn't exactly known for giving information to the player... but this makes me angry because it's bullshit.
and combined with a screen full of flicker spiders and falling rocks which for some reason started dealing the damage they did back in the "holy fuck please stop falling rocks Haku missions" days... that's triple bullshit.

quadruple, considering you never actually "fail" the mission. Haku just stands there and doesn't change to his "you failed!" speech, and neither does Zana (who's Daily it was).
I just got locked out.

I'm not enjoying your frustration, just joking. I too have died in Haku and still re entered and saved the mission. I really do think Haku's missions are more dangerous than any of the other masters though which is the truth behind what I wrote.

dangerous is fine, just let me get back in there.
"entrance has collapsed" is crap, when you don't know that will happen.
I can spill a ton of salt about falling rocks and spiders, but ultimately what really gets me is that one missing piece of code, which would make Haku say "you only have one shot at this" like Zana does, or at the very least write it in the quest description.

GGG, please fix that.

then we can talk about the friggin falling rocks.

Most dangerous sh*t is the VMS Gorilla from Tora when a totems pops under you imho.
Some vagan fights can be tough if your character isn't ready for it too.


About the OP :

It never happened to me, but I find it interesting ( not the fact that you are kinda angry about it ), I mean ... It adds immersion, and it adds an element of surprise that isn't a "HELLO YOU'RE DEAD /TROLL", and that does sound like a good thing to me.

How could Haku have known about this before ?
Zana has only one portal, she knows that she cannot give you more access to it.

If the falling rocks hit too hard now ... that is a bit different.
At what level was that ? Never experienced anything like this, I mean nothing that would hurt my character so much ( only lightning warp/storm totems have ever been a problem to me in some cases in Haku's missions I think. ).

about that instance resetting- there's no such thing. ever fight arena and lost and you enter back the room is choke full of adds- insta gib. it's so lol sometimes where even *facepalm* don't cut it. seems like ggg expect every gamer to be godmode one time clear and no dying. if you fail too bad reroll map reroll char and top it off by kicking your xp down 10%. dare to enter that gate again another 10% gone and so on until you /quit

I never realized that. Nice immersion tbh.
