Cryptic 1 shot off screen kills aren't how you make things harder.

Maybe this in your infinite wisdom is how you think you need to make things harder for the hardcore crown that knows what every boss is going to do before they do it. But for those people new to the game it just brings frustrations.

Losing a whole level worth of experience and not having a clue what even killed you because nothing is on screen isn't fun. It's hard enough trying to learn this game without having to deal with piss poor game design.

Good luck trying to make a successful game out of PoE2 with only the hardcore players. Between all the changes you made this patch to nerf everything and then on top of that throwing in all these 1 shot how the hell did I die monsters, you aren't going to be getting new players sticking around at all.

The gem and class system had me really interested at customization but I found it being so poorly balanced that only a few hardcore meta options were even viable to play.

Unless they for some reason decide to give me my XP back I don't feel like wasting anymore time not advancing in the game trying to figure out what is killing me.

Have fun hardcore players who are obviously getting ready to flame me, you are obviously the only players GGG wants playing this game. You are the ones it's much easier to design around.

Nothing is 1 shotting you unless your defenses aren't very good.

Nice to see some people preserving their sense of humor through the 3.15 disaster.

I mean, your comment was ironic, wasn't it?

After seeing a lot of SSFHC/HC deaths for years, that's very funny.

These GGG's defenders always blame the one who point out the fact, but actually showing how ignorant they are about this game.

I feel sad about them, after Chris admitted that they had not conducted a complete and detailed test of the game.

All the efforts to defend GGG have turned into a joke. These clowns are defending a game that its developers didn't play it before launch, and the way they defend it is to humiliate other players, claiming that they have insufficient knowledge of the game.

Another group of players point out many problems because they love the game, and the GGG's white knights helps the game by humiliating all those who raise objections.

How is that a help, if you keep kicking and pushing all these players out of this game?

Its true though, 99% of one shots in this game are entirely telegraphed and generally only going to be from bosses. The only time this isnt true is if you did something like kill all monsters around a Soul Eater mob and they come up and bonk you after you fed them, or rolled a map too hard for your build and you stacked too many damage modifiers.

Someone else above said "muh streamers", your streamers dont build as much defense as youd like to think, maybe actually take a look at their builds once in a while and youd see that. Topper there is, most the "oneshots" they claim kill them, arent one shots at all, its multiple monsters hitting them over a short period of time.

Kinda what happens when you play a range character and flame dash into the middle of a pack of monsters and ignore your archetype because you think you have enough damage to kill everything before it touches you, until you dont. Most streamers have dog shit mechanics and strats and do shit like the aforementioned constantly.

If we can one shot monsters off screen then i see no reason why monsters shouldnt be able to do the same. If you want to remove all damage off screen in exchange for monsters doing the same, im all game because that removes the bullshit range clear meta this game has always had :^]

Nope, that's I_NO for you. Those are his/her signature comments; either troll comments that are purely passive-agressive, or that you're squishy.

You mean, exactly what they did with the first Path of Exile?

I don't know why all of these participation trophy players think GGG cares if they quit, lmao... this game isn't MADE for you. If you want something easy like D3/D2R/D4, then just go play those. If you want a game which actively goes out of its way to kill your build at every turn... well, that's Path of Exile.
