Countdown timer before the strongbox open
" No clue why ice nova boxes are so insane, i have seen full party's rip from the ice nova damage alone <_<. like he said too even with 79 those boxes were terrifying , they have 10x more aoe then exploding one and deal SO much more damage. hit me up @sarrow lets have fun :D

Guarded by rogue exile is fine tbh. A free kitable loot on demand. As rule of thumb I always used an appropriate flask opening a strongbox.(or 2, because granite is also a good security layer here)

" The strongbox is intentionally designed for the monsters to immediately swarm your character and attack. A countdown would be the opposite and allow your character to ambush the monsters. Try not running away from the monsters, but standing and fighting. You can also use smoke mine, or quartz flasks. The boxes are meant to be dangerous and kill characters. Know which mods your character can handle and which ones you either need to reroll or ignore the strongbox. PoE Origins - Piety's story http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2081910

Having to use smoke mine or lightning warp to avoid bad surprises is just tedious but adds little. | |

Some of the responses in this thread. Wow.
When did desync/bad collision/bad game engines become features? | |
|
Desynced hard today and almost died...Monsters swarming is the easiest way to desync.
For my current builds, thoughts and videos.

" i agree 10000000000000000000% most of the times i die it's because of strongboxes desynch or beacuse 30 monsters spawns around of me and i cant move... a countdown it's very needed. atm im going to skip all the strongboxes, except cartographers boxes |

all most a week since the strongbox in SC. dead 2 times. all caused by desync...just got pulled back next to the box after 2-4secs...

have been using smoke mine since the above replied.
Only dead twice. 1 is that I got ice nova'ed and the other one is that for some reason it only teleported me after 2secs...i am dead at the moment while i got teleported... This indeed saved me quite a bit of time but still wondering will implementing a countdown timer be a good idea or not. Personally I will like to see it happen. And at the meantime, I made small update on OP for how the timer work. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1119850

I always,always open those boxes with QS flask already activated and i am far far away when the mobs are spawning...but , after a bit...i'm just back into the crowd... smashing my keybord and swearing this crap.
This isn't any hardcore feature or swarming bullshjit...nope, it's just the pore desync all the time. Even only 1 second countdown will be enough for a fair fight and not just "let's hope for no desync". |
