A tale and opinions of „the feared“ invitation

What I read from OP:

"I can beat this game so easy! But this one fight I can't do! This is bad design and POE is now getting shit and I quit this league!"

Pretty much sums up this forum in general I guess.

transcendence is pretty meta but the rest of your stuffs fruity AF and pestilent strike? definitely get a pass from me the gears lovely though, total dedication.

Thanks :) And concerning transendence: I checked poe.ninja for militant raith and it's 9% of all players using it. On Pathfinders it's only 5%. So yeah, I guess 9% is something I would call used to some extent, but it's not the most common thing. And the numbers increased - when I checked 3 weeks ago it was only line 4% :D

Man that fight is such a pushover.. some content is just meant to be difficult.

But how would you dodge ability without moving tho ?
I mean if boss where just a standstill experience it wont be better eitheir.

I think maybe the solution would be to make strike and self cast skill that are actually the worse way of "playing while moving" (channeling too actually) to be able to be used while moving like the skill goes off but you still move somehow.
That would be fun maybe but doable ? idk

I really like the idea of beeing able to attack while moving with every skill but I do think as well it would make dodging to easy for everyone. Dont know. Some kind of this would be awesome

well another lazy answer. to bad. why dont you just answer my questions? if you want to tell me how bad I am then just dont reply.

he literally has to give his two cents on every thread that has ever been made on this forum. pay no mind.

thank you for the info. I will not answer similar replies here as well.

I also have to say in addition to my starting point that the breachlord invitation the hidden isnt any better. If you need to stand still and be close range ist just lets see if I can tank long enough to beat them down. Like I said, I need to attack otherwise I will be stunned for ever.

Now we have a clutter fight and the small % oft he players can beat this with ez and can double their loot from the maps before and even more (splitters for maven and additonal points for the atlas)

GGG could have made this fights so awesome. Lets talk again about the feared. Imagine the following scene:
You enter the portal, maven greets you as your favorite toy. As you enter the middle of the arena the brain pops up on the air right side of the arena. And you already like „what? This will be huge“. You see the 5 bosses around the arena in those bubbles. The brain just throws single words to you like „terminate“ and the fights starts. The music is this typical maven challenge music. Atzriri enters the arena and in addition to that music your hear this woman singing like in the alluring abyss. The arena gets smaller and the maven says something shaper like „dance little mouse“ and the shaper starts shooting balls from the outer ring, you cant attack him. You fight atziri while shaper is doing things to you. The maven says something „more. MORE!“ and starts copying the shaper. Now you have 4 copies in the outer ring and he shoots some balls. Atziri lost a part of her hp. The brain says somethink like „crimson rage“ and you know chayula enters the arena now. A mashup music with maven and breach starts kicking in. Chayula starts spinning and the maven says like „petrify and rot“ and the elder is in the outer ring now and starts shooting ice crystals to you. The brain says „terminate. terminate!“ and the elder charging somewhere in the arena his 8 second explosion. You think like easy but the maven makes copies the elder after 5 seconds several times so you have to remember when which elder started charging. In this 5 second window you can attack chayula, move to the safe circle, attack chayula, move to the next another save circle and so on and so on.

To summarise this: you always fight one boss but you need to dodge attacks of another boss at the same time BUT ist clearly to you which boss attacks and where it is coming from. When you hear the words oft he maven and the brain you know who is coming next who attacks and the mashup music would make this encounter to a complete new thing with reused content. The bosses are even more challenging but fair for every build. This are just examples and shower thoughts. You could even make the fight your personal „trainer“. She want you to be the best toy. You could use the splitters as some kind of casino coins. You pulling the one armed bandit so to speak and you need to fight some random bosses one after another. You could train the hardest bosses without wasting the actual fragments. Like I said that are only thoughts

for being the "ultimate" boss in poe the reward is garbage at least it was for me I got absolute nothing for it.. not even shaper gloves.

sure you're fighting a "copy" but I'm fighting 6+ (counting with the maven plus her shadows) bosses and the reward isnt there.. like what the fuck? I might just in the future do it on easy mode without mods just for the points if these dev's think that creating these kind of fights and get no rewards to show for it is something funny well then they can't complain when people refuses to buy their toys.

my point of view is from a rewarding point.. sure yours OP is from a technical and gameplay point but the entire thing is just wrong.. there's severe problems with poe lately and they keep buffing monsters and nerfing gems/ascendencies/builds.

Gating powerful rewards behind difficult encounters are also cause for complains. What can they do?

Sorry man, but that's just utter bullshit, literally all of it.
First of all, the Invitation itself has a cost of 40c, you ALWAYS make more from a succesfull fight due to the writs splinters. Secondly, it's a free second fight vs. those bosses. So as I stated earlier, I am on the fence with calling the maps u used before as an investment to enter it, because in those you already were able to generate loot. It is not like delirium maps where you have to invest 1.5ex into the map in order to play it, you could simply see this as an additional reward option after clearing the stuff anyway.
Third, the loot is garbage? Sorry buddy, if you only run it one time your numbers doesn't mean anything. You were just unlucky. It is VERY profitable.
And to your last point... Great you meet you! I always wondered who those incompetent players are that permanently scream "everything is nerfed, build is dead". The ascendancy changes BARELY touched any class and with 3.13 we got buffs on 3 different levels:
- harvest back in the game, so higher ceiling in terms of items
- harvest, heist and ritual combined brought a higher number of synthesized items back, potentially buffing a lot of builds
- maven orb as high end crafting option increases the strength of a lot of builds even further.
How on earth do you call that a NERF man? Get real for once.

It is strike skills on bosses that are a problem in general.

In this regard, Sirius is actually the least punishing boss for melee. For the best chance of survival, you hug the boss in general, because that gives you the best way to dodge the mechanics on the last phase, un the first you have to dodge crap that big bro sirius does but in general there is a dead zone around the small one, still, that fight isnt terrible on melee.

Maven for me, was the worst boss regarding melee strike skills. On her last phase, the beams will trigger if you leap slam through them, then she'll relocate once you reach her and you chase her through potentially deadly beams again.

The issue with the feared is that it is so RNG if you get really hard combos or not. I had chayula and atziri as first two bosses, and that was actually horrendous to play, but doable, because that meant that the part of the fight where you have to play against 3 bosses meant i was actually able to dodge shit. In adition to everything of course, i can only attempt that fight once a month or so, because i have no chance of dropping more cortex maps in SSF, even worse if you lose the fight due to bad RNG. It is a little too late this league, but i already promised myself to roll a dedicated boss killer next league, just for those fights.

You think every post is cringe when all you think about is ''cringe'' and not knowing what the word is unfortunately.
