Lightning Storm rare monster mod needs addressed + Why does death destroy a map? Garbage mechanic.

This is easily the #1 reason for most of my deaths now on both my Monk and Ranger. I actually re-rolled ranger from monk in an attempt to get away from it, but monsters move faster than my 45% movespeed ranger anyway, even without movespeed mods on the map. The fact that the lightning storms can spawn at range, and they can 1 shot me with 85% evade and 75% resistance is insane. It either needs downscaled or removed entirely, because there's no counter play...

Top that off and die once and maps gone???? What kind of shit mechanic is that? I spend hours setting up a map with tablets with a boss and tons of mods so I can reap the rewards from the map and boss and get RNG hell rare monster with chaos plant + lightning mirage + lightning storm on a rare and now all that work goes down the drain??? If you're going to limit it to death = destruction of map then get rid of the portal limit as it means nothing anymore anyway at that point.

Playing as warrior with 75% resist and I have to agree: Lightining storms hit pretty hard. Devs should scale that damage better or improve the time until the area is hit by the storm (window time is a lot short for melees).

Yep the 1 portal thing sucks. Just give people back their 6 portals is the solution to that.

This game utterly disrespects the player's time and wastes it at every opportunity with these pointless death penalties. Nobody playing Softcore wants to play Hardcore every map. And people are quitting this game because of these things.(among other questionable design like trials lol)

Nobody wants to play a game that's just a pointless treadmill where you go 1 step forward 10 steps back, losing progress is bad game design. It's 2025 not 2000.

Either these archaic designs are deleted from the game or made optional, or it will keep bleeding players like crazy till there's barely any left. And then you have a dead game.

+1, damage is overtuned.

Capped light res and died to a lightning storm strongbox

I knew I shouldn't have bothered with it.
