Expedition's damage immunity should be removed!!!
|
Expedition is awesome until you come across this:
 I get it you guys want to make the game more challenging, but immunity is not the path, Path of Exile should take!! Seriously I'm playing a physical build, can't deal any elemental damage or chaos to a decent amount to kill a full unearthed expedition... on yep only a Tier 2 map. REMOVE THIS SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or, just dont blow up the chests that make them immune to whatever you can't deal with...
Cold immune shows up like once per 10 maps... on one of the 6 or 7 chests... its not hard to avoid. |

Let me be the first to say, I freakin' love PoE and have played it for years...and I wholeheartedly agree with this. The most annoying thing about Diablo 2 was running across packs that your build couldn't kill unless you went and bought some random dagger that had the one stat that they were not immune to.
It just takes the joy out of the game when I pop the boxes, get all excited, and then realize I forgot to check for damage immunity and now I cant get to any of the loot. ESPECIALLY, when it is a logbook. |

" The difference is though, in D2 you had no choice. Now, in PoE, YOU decide ACTIVELY to POP THOSE REMNANTS WITH IMMUNITY. I dont get how someone can complain about the fact having 3 immunities on his logbook. Are you dump? It is there for you in yellow letters. Why do you pop them? Holy cow what is wrong with this guy. This is like knocking your head against the wall and complaining it hurt. if you nerf 10 gems out of 30, you automatically buff the other 20! Last edited by ibims111#7338 on Jul 28, 2021, 5:37:27 PM

" So I should avoid blowing them up and be deprived of the rewards it will give...? It's RNG based which immunities you get, and If I can get 3 of them, I can also get 5... and they would just be immune to everything... If you're "zooming" through maps with a bow build, and quickly place your explosives, without paying too much attention and just focus on as many chests, monsters, and bonuses (no matter what they are) then you haven't always seen you accidentally unlocked an immunity you can't handle. Not to mention they are all the same color too!!! It's content blocking and that isn't right... if you happen to make a "mistake" in placing your explosives... you basically can't kill them. In the past, they even REMOVED mechanics from monsters that couldn't be killed and now they are adding it? It doesn't make sense... IF you happen to unlock them early on, ALL of those enemies become immune and if they happen to also be in a narrow corridor you have to pass through to move on... well, that doesn't work when you die because you can't kill them... It's a mechanic that doesn't belong in a game like Path Of Exile... dealing with insane damage, ailments, on-death effects, crazy off-screen skills... is hard enough. I'm mostly thinking in the sense of HC players too when they die it's game over... |

" I cannot tell, but I am pretty sure this is not possible and even if it is, pop the chests, pop the monsters, and go for it. On maps that is not a big deal. And on logbooks it is neither because you have so many of them, 5 immunity remnants wont make the profit good or bad. " That is the point. My understanding was that this is something they want to slow down a bit. Zooming is fun but paying attention should be mandatory in the game. " I never heard one of the streamers I watch that play HC complain about an immunity remnant, besides Ziz, but he cries like a baby due to the logout makro challange. He is not himself if he cannot logout. if you nerf 10 gems out of 30, you automatically buff the other 20!

" When you're playing fast passed builds you're not always reading every sentence on your screen... or haven't always seen you accidentally unlocked the immunity you can't handle... Also, note that the screenshot was taken on a tier 2 Caldera map and those passages are quite narrow. I couldn't get past those monsters without dying and thus also lost the map, and not only my expedition. The fact all immunities have the same color doesn't help either, or that the green overlay is barely visible when placing explosives. I can handle 4 out of 5, so should I avoid them all? Should I be deprived of that extra bonus that could be those 50% chance for logbooks based on my build choice? I've also noticed that I encounter physical and chaos immune more than the element immunes... So am I being punished more because I play physical or chaos instead of elements? Whether I have a choice or not, a full immunity shouldn't be in an ARPG, something can be extremely defensive, but immune no... not good. I don't play Path of Exile to stop and read 10 sentences on my screen then carefully look with peering eyes whether those stones are green or not... I play to relax, have fun, brain on zero, and just blow stuff up with my explode bow build after a hard day of work where I have to read A LOT.

Immunity in most RPG games is generally a bad thing.
It still baffles me the Reflect mod on maps is still a thing as it serves no purpose. In D2 players just ran past packs that were immune to their damage type. That was the choice made then and not blowing up immune tags is the choice here. Neither is good or justifies the situation. Mild Targeting of builds or play styles is fine as a condition. Not a flat binary choice. Things like Enemies explode when killed by Physical damage. Enemies chill players when struck by Cold damage. Enemies will counter attack when hit by melee. Enemies will gain Rage when struck by projectiles. "Never trust floating women." -Officer Kirac Last edited by Xzorn#7046 on Jul 28, 2021, 6:23:18 PM

" It is one sentence, it takes 5 seconds to figure out the debuffs on remnants. Stop crying. If that one sentence in yellow on a remnant is too much for you, how do you manage to click buttons, flasks, move your god damn char or open a map. you have to read the mods, don't you? Holy cow, just read, thats it. No need for endless discussions, no need for frustration, just read and play the game. If you dont want to read deal with immunity, if you dont want to deal with immunity dont play. That simple. how can you complain about something that is YOUR OWN FAULT. if you nerf 10 gems out of 30, you automatically buff the other 20!

Wow.
In this thread, people unironically believe you should be able to run all content without reading what that content even is. Did you know, in 2013, Path of Exile used to be labeled as a "hardcore game"? I don't think the game should go back to 2013 days, but I think it is a good thing that we are yet again encouraging players to read. Hence, official disagree, -1, whatever. Reading reaps rewards. Learn it and embrace it, because that's what Path of Exile has historically been, and what good game design dictates it should be. Need game info? Check out the Wiki at: https://www.poewiki.net/
