Best developers in gaming industry

Why is this possible ? and why does it look like its not random ?



As a side note , when all your core mechanics are copyed from other games like your skill system = materia from Final Fantasy 7 and your passive skill tree = the passive tree from Final Fantasy 10, and the gameplay = diablo 2 clone and you work on them for 10 years, [Removed by Support] There should be a line betwen dificulty and stupidity but in this game very few things are dificult, most of them are stupid, and are intentionaly stupid (not random) , to frustrat players , to make them create other builds, to keep them in game.(one example out of hundreds that cant even be excused by randomnes is Maven's 3rd phase)

I never understood why they made Simulacrums have random map mods, it could give you stuff like monsters have a fuckton of resistance to your damage type(which btw, it did give me a lot, suspiciously only the damage type I dealt almost as if it has a hidden system that favors mods depending on your character and gems), and completely brick your dps or it could give you mods that barely affect you and its just a slot machine. That isn't difficulty, it's just a dice roll. Its why I never bother doing it if the league has a "complete wave 30" challenge, on my normal builds I only ever get to wave 18-20 then start dying to rares/bosses and lose all my portals, no way in hell can I ever do it unless I'm playing a mirror-tier mageblood/hh build specifically designed for Simulacrum, and that just makes this content unplayable for 99% of players, which is why I just buy a carry for wave 30 as soon as I can. They really need to change it to not have random mods and re-design the whole encounter.

Troll game design. Even the new content has clickable things that remove armour/evasion/loot gain etc. You cant even see the things in the Wilderness. They just like to piss off the player base for fun.

Hilarious GGG, said no one.

Personally I think they have bad coders. Sirus still blocks entrance 2 years later lol

Condolences.

What a beautifully written text of frustration, complete with the support edits! Ahh ive missed this. Im supposed to be sleeping but this is just too funny.

the implementation of AN as well as the valdo map are indicative of GGG sliding off responsibility of silly things such as "balance".

could they have hard coded it so that certain mods to not roll on the same monster?

they could but they didnt.

its all up to the dice roll so you can have a memorable experience.

and they like to never fix it
same as with tota titanic shell...

I sympathize with the frustration. Felt it many a time. Quit more than one league because I had had enough dumb confluence of bullshit. But considering no dev is perfect GGG are frankly as much as I criticize them, one of the best in the business of online games, and by a lot.

But imagine POE if it was actually bounded correctly had good TTL and TTK. Imagine if they didn't make virtue of necessity and embrace their "game over via dice roll" difficulty via compounding bullshit. What an amazing game that would be.

Imagine end game content actually being challenging? How is this a problem? crit mods? be crit immune (swap items before activating wave if you don't have them on permanently=. Pen? Sure, but they made wave 21-30 specifically to create "pinnacle content" to throw your character at. My only wish for simus is that we need an option to skip first 20 levels since those are taking too long time with little or no challenge.
