Virtually unavoidable death

Hi GGG, god knows I've died doing dumb stuff in the past, but this isn't one of them.

I mean, it was already spawned and going off the moment I entered the fractured memory. That's 3-4 hours grind flushed down the toilet in spite of the fact I was playing very conservatively. It's just not reasonable.

You need to give players at least a second or two before dropping stuff like this on their heads.

Gotta agree with you on that. Perhaps this is one of the things that GGG will eventually tone down (while introducing a new one, just to keep the better players on their toes). Getting jumped while exiting a portal seems an ongoing sore point on the Forums.

The thing is, that on top of that I've had several near-death experiences when the game essentially freezes for at times what can be upwards of 5-6 seconds (I have a few saved videos of these events which I will probably also upload and link at some point). When it unlocks I'm either dead or near dead, depending on the situation. I may as well also point out the game crashes frequently, typically when I'm entering or exiting portals, which is tiresome. When you combine these issues with legit cheese-deaths like the one I posted here, it really does begin to wear you out.

Believe me, I'm not hating on GGG here. I freaking love their game, and as a Kiwi I'm genuinely proud of what this company has achieved on the world stage. In fact I think it is currently the best in this genre that has ever been made, even compared to D2, but there are a lot of serious issues going on at the moment, especially if you are a PS4 player. At times I feel like I'm a beta tester.

Sorry for your death but that clip was pretty hilarious. I didn't see that one coming.
But i have to say i also had my share of fps related deaths or near deaths. My worb witch is much faster and glassier bc of MF items but having up to 10s of 0,3-0,5 fps and dying in the process is not fun and i genuinly wonder how anybody got to 100 on HC or even SC for that matter.
Especially with worb trickster!

Yeah, I can laugh about it now (kind of) just because it was so absurdly unfair. My original complaint/request to GGG stands. Stuff like this smashing you in the face the instant you spawn is not good game design. There is a difference between presenting players with a challenge and something like this!

I agree, there is no point into adding a monster that can drop you instantly

From the up coming 3.6.4 patch

Fixed a bug where Bloodlines monsters in close proximity to Memory Stabilisers and the Delve Crawler could create their on-death effects when you entered the area. Monsters affected include Bearers of the Guardian, Heralds of the Obelisk, Voidspawn of Abaxoth and Living Blood Bloodlines monsters.
