you made purple death balls faster. didn't you.

Wouldn't them being faster make them easier to deal with? My biggest annoyance with them is by the time if run through 3 to set them off early as I can- 3 more have spawned and are drifting towards me.

I only find them troublesome when 6+ are floating around.

And I thought I am tripping. I died 4 times today to that purple cringe playing ssf war (i have no attack speed whatsoever yet). And it is not typical for me to die to that. I may be wrong but something feels different, for me atleast incoming damage is very spike-y, but I have bad gear now so can't tell for sure.
What I can tell for sure though is that I hate the purple balls, and they are everywhere.

Ritual become a different beast with all those thousands chaos missiles, while you have a fixed space to move with thousands mobs, the devs will kill this game in a unbelievable way.

At this point you may say diablo and LE are easy games, but they have way better loot and way better mechanics that are not this punitive.

They want to punish players in every way possible.
This game seems doomed to failure.


They also increased the dmg of the mobs to an unbelievable degree.
Chaos DMG is massive now.
Even with 10k ES the dmg is too great.

POE2 at this point is just a pipe dream.
10 years will not be enough to fix this stupidity.

Purple orbs, oh noes..

- I see orbs
- I runs from orbs
- I see all orbs grouped up following behind me
- I turn around and run through and past orbs
- I keep moving past orbs to safe place while orbs pop

yay no more orbs

+run speed helps :)

They made them way more visible and they’re so easy to avoid. Just run through them or touch and roll. I only have 45 chaos res and I can tank 2 of them on T16 maps so they’re not that bad.

They just can't help themselves. Loot is dropping good now, but they just can't allow something good without some sort of punishment to counter it.

It's even worse by the fact they don't include it in the patch notes thinking no one will notice

Relax, it's most likely an unintended inclusion.

Remember that they had to do a rollback and find a way to correct the skill gem issue. That sort of thing sometimes involves taking stuff from different version numbers and this sort of issue can happen.

No, it doesn't. The issue was about the DB, not the code. They had to revert the DB and the code to the backup they took (or should have taken, not sure, considering how incompetent these folks seem to be) right before deploying the patch.

I do that too, but it just doesn't work on some rituals with limited space as your being swarmed

That is an excellent point
