GGG Please - Serious

I do not want this to be another wah wah post.

But.

If you are going to tune and test the game and balance off 100th level chars could you please visit the dmg down the stream as well? I really think you are not doing so and lower level chars get hit harder than intended.

Seems like all the content is balanced like this.

I really dont mind when Im fighting a boss and I fail. That is totally fine.

What really bugs me is One Shots that have no indication of how the heck I just got killed.

No combat log to review what occurred. Just smack boss facing other way and somehow Im dead.

This is a very common theme.

Please put a combat log in the game so I can figure out these type of events.

Git-ing gud is not always a result of what you see on the screen apparently.

Yea, i honestly am not getting the feeling that anything is really been tested at all with GGG these days.

They used to have an alpha for poe1, and they used to actually get player feedback, and kind of stay in touch...

But at this point, it really does seem as if there is no testing occuring at any point, and only data driven decisions (where as, the data they are receiving is clearly fucking wrong).

Either the formulas need to be revisited (as they have never been that good, going right back to the beginning of POE1), or they need to reel in the dmg / scaling on the mobs. Theres damage's that come from white mobs, that are literally non mitigatable due to their *formulas*.

IMO, given how many years its been since POE1 has been out, and this issue has always been there, it SHOULD be #1 fucking priority at GGG.

But maybe they think its funny that at some point, no matter what players do, they will get one shot from trash shit. I know in the past, it was not uncommon to find GGG sitting around watching streams on league release and laughing at the streamers getting one shot. So, who knows.

i'm all for a difficult game, but it needs to be fair, and at this point, damn near everyone knows, this game isnt fair, at all.

Thx for the detailed response I feel exactly the same.

Should remain a difficult game but at same time the player should be able to react to incoming dmg. vs just insta death. As it stands there isnt much point of a healing flask in many situations. The only time its good is when people have gear to be past the one shot mechanics.

Combat log would be amazing but I think if we had that data...natives would be weilding pitch forks.
