So apparently Ruthless mode has instant logout.
" Are you talking to me? I play exclusively hardcore, sometimes SSF. Or are you talking to Darthski? If so, even if he doesn't play hardcore, his points are 100% correct. Even someone who has never played PoE can recognize that a 3rd party tool to shut down the game instead of face in-game consequences is horrible game design. | |

BTW is it 'Kay Zed Eh', Kay Zee Eh', or 'Kazza'? 'Kizza' like RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan?

Also, I know PoE has long held aspirations towards being some quirky ARPG/Bullet Hell hybrid, but how do you feel about this relatively new 'Bullet Heaven' subgenre that really doubles down on the idea of being a walking turret of horde-murdering madness? I finally tried a Vampire Survivors clone, one that explicitly draws on PoE and Headhunter for inspiration, and I found it a complete fucking blast. Everything I didn't like about PoE that made it too much of a shooter and took away from its roots as an ARPG I actually love in an actual shooter. Weird. Anyway, curious about your take on that, KZA. Spoiler-tagged since it's a little off topic but I could probably bring it back to why PoE has 'faux' difficulty via crap like instant logout while I think actual shmups and these bullet-heaven twin sticker power fantasy adrenaline rushes have real difficulty despite the two generally doing the same thing.
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

It's one syllable. "Ksaw". I'd take away the all caps of it, but well, what can you do when you made the account over a decade ago?

I haven't tried those... I'll have to look into them.

" Yes we all have things we'd like do-overs on, wonder if instant logout is one of them.
Spoiler
If I may recommend, I rate my Vampire Survivor clones in the following order:
Brotato Vampire Survivors Boneraiser Minions Spellbook Demonslayers 20 Minutes Till Dawn Spirit Hunters Rogue Genesia haven't played the rest, probably will someday. A lot of these are 'early access' and have room to move up the list - especially Spellbook Demonslayers, which, if I had to guess, is the game previously alluded to as taking inspiration from D2/PoE. It is great but the overtime mode drags on entirely too long. A 20 minute round followed by a 60 minute overtime is 'yikes'. Dev knows what he's doing though imo, it will round into form. |

Ksaw. I never would have guessed that from the Z. Interesting!
And Support used to change my account name if I asked nicely in email and didn't ask for anything naughty (they wouldn't change it to something with 'bitch' in there, for example). But after all this time, I imagine you're used to KZA reading as 'Ksaw' by now. And maybe they don't do it anymore. Maybe it was a weird Ruler privilege. Dunno. That little jaunt from name regret to instant logout usage was clever, very

It is indeed. I named it in my last off topic 'what are you playing' post and...well, it's in my signature now. I'm glad to see a more seasoned take on it and I'm not surprised an elongated session gets a bit...yikesy. As with rogue-lites, I try to keep my experience to shorter runs, enough to push the overall progress but not so much to get utterly overwhelmed and forget the bigger picture.

" Yeah... I totally came up with that and wrote it on purpose. *Cough cough* And I was gonna say, I thought your name had changed at least a few times over the years. | |

I forget which interview it was, but even Chris uses the logout macro.
The state of the game requires it. Most of what kills you is a 1 shot, even with multiple defensive layers. There is simply too many rare mob affixes, aura stacking and clutter right now. The cool thing is that the devs and ofc Chris see this and are making things simpler. Arch nem was the wrong direction (mob affix wise) and we are seeing this shifting away now. I've been around a long time, avoided logout macros for most of it but these days relish in my autohotkey. As an idiot who only players SSFHC I don't have the time to restart because of poor design choices on the devs behalf. |

" I posted it several times in this thread. It is this interview https://youtu.be/HKgvHRzt3ao?t=4275. Yet you people (yes, including you), keep ignoring it and what he says. Instant logout will not and should not be removed. And no, logout doesn't requiire any 3rd party software. The most reliable way to logout is Alt+F4 or pressing "Exit to Login Screen" (not character selection). Logout macro that is typically used (TCP RST) is far less reliable (much more prone to leaving your character with 6 second disconnect timer in game) and the only advantage it has is that it sometimes works when client is in some broken state (client froze for example).

So this is how hc players play poe hc? Im speechless..... |

" It's literally impossible and non-objective to look down on HC players while playing SC Your argument (if you can call it) would be slightly more valid if you'd kill these bosses in HC By dying 100 times in campaign and mocking HC players is just..silly |
