Why do you force me to do stupid beast content?

That moment wenn a Beast has more Defence than an act Boss lol.

Seriously i had more trouble with beast while leveling.

I didn't played the new Acts because i quitteed somewhere during legacy league and now i rejoined PoE with Bestiary. Even the new act bosses where easier (i done them all blind .. no videos or spoilers) But the beast .. WTF never pressed Flash Pot so fast because of their ridiculous damage and defences.

Even Abysses (i think that these crack on the ground we green dot on the map) weren't that damgerous for me.

And do you know what is more hilarious? Some small puppy bear is more dangerous than Kitava the "ravenous" God druing leveling.

Also for group play: If one person try to caputure a beast i get a 3 sec (sometimes even more) screen freeze. That why i avoid partyplay for bestiary.

I hope they won't be ridiculous mechanic next league because i wanna play Hardcore again

Skipping hard or bothersome content is nothing new. People were skipping mobs during Bloodlines and Invasion and even now are giving old Abaxoth the how-do-you-do-no-thank-you.

Who's exactly forcing you? Are you talking to yourself by accident?

If you don't like it, skip it, quit or just play standard like me. Nobody is "forcing" you. It's GGG's game and if they want to turn it into a pokémon fuckfest they can do it. Just don't swallow it and go somewhere else.

Now for the real question, why do you force yourself to do stupid beast content?

And this content will not end up in standard in a month time?

It's not the loot that is at the heart of the OP's rant. Just like hoarding all uniques, many players do not want to skip any of the content. For example, way back in June 2013 (open beta PoE) I got my 2 BFFL to play in a summer trio. It went well up into Cruel difficulty level when we encountered a rouge in the Submerged Passage. Can't remember the rogue's attack but as ranged builds my friends couldn't get any clear distance shots at it in the confines of the caves and getting too close caused deaths. After they died like 10 times I suggested that we skip that rogue and move on. After more deaths they threw in the towel and we moved on but that left an extremely sour taste in their mouths about PoE and it wasn't long after that they lost all interest in playing any further as they were unaccustomed to having game content that was deliberately uber hard and had to be skipped. They came from a background of the Diablo and Titan's Quest arpg series and we had also played TL2 in fall 2012 and killing all content and bosses was the norm.

So PoE now has beasts and some of the yellow and red are harder than bosses and rogues and thus isn't viable for some builds and must be skipped. Thus players are unhappy that PoE has content that they must skip.

But playing PoE at all is completely optional and many players that otherwise like 95% of what this arpg offers have quit over the 5% bullshit unplayable content. Just saying "git gud" is further insulting and more reason for them to quit.

GGG is apathetic here.

i don't think so. Nobody wants this league in standard.

GGG should bring back the old maps with Bosses randomly found inside the maps. This map arena "feature" has created a bunch of ...lowered expectation. And those bosses didn't come with a big red icon that is impossible to miss.....

I really hope GGG does not cater to these paper thin builds that can't deal with content beyond normal trash.

Red Beasts are not the issue. I would start by looking at your build.

If you don't use it I suggest you grab Path of Building. It will allow you to import your build and check your build for any issues.

I will be the first to admit that Beasts are not my favorite league (or even close). However, to say the content is not doable may be a bit much.

Remember the last league when a rift would pop and some uber elite would pop out and 2 shot you? It didn't happen too often but it was annoying as hell when it did happen.

How are they forcing you? I'm playing standard. Started a new raider today. Screw that league.

Games are supposed to be fun if not fun don't do it. doh.

I don't get it, frankly. Abysses are skippable, so are beyond rifts, but beasts are not, no no. We'll drop a red beast that is twice as powerful as map boss, along with another yellow one and one shot you to stall your progress indefinitely. So now I can't even do maps and skip bosses, because there will always be a freaking red beast popping on my head one shoting me with putrid flight.

Seriously, dafaq? GGG wants us to level in blood aqueduct?

beasts are skippable too,just run past them, they only follow you for a little while before they stop
