Omen Amelioration didn't work again WTF

The Omen Amelioration didn't work again, and I lost 10% of my experience. At high levels, that's a lot. What were the developers thinking, making such a harsh death penalty? Why do you write in every patch note that you've fixed something, but the game just keeps getting worse with more bugs?

Keep in mind that only one omen can be triggered per combat area, so if you've already triggered one omen of amelioration in a map, another cannot be triggered in that same map. Not saying that's what happened to you just pointing it out, as it's not made clear anywhere in-game.

I have been testing this and you are absolutely correct that there is something off in the works. The Omen of Amelioration fails to proc if Omen of Resurgence is also active and/or has proc'd recently on the map. Not sure what is up there exactly, but something is failing beyond the description of the tooltip on those Omens.

Now, my sample size of deaths is not sufficient enough for a definitive conclusion...but, therein lies part of the problem with your game design, GGG. You have an awful, annoying mechanic in the game that, on top of pissing people off, appears not only bugged, but also punishes players for attempting to test it.

GGG, you owe me 40% total level experience on my lvl 94 monk. While I am not offended to help test your bugs for you, I would appreciate a refund, as this is easily about 10 hours of my playtime down the drain that I now need to recoup.

In case you misread the screenshot posted above, that doesn't sound like "something failing", it sounds like "Omens working as intended".

You cannot trigger multiple combat Omens in the same map/instance. If an Omen of Resurgence triggers, you cannot later trigger an Omen of Amelioration in that map. If you have both active, the Omen of Amelioration will only trigger if you die without being lowered to Low Life.

In that case (if I genuinely just misunderstood the tooltip), we are still faced with a moronic game mechanic that does nothing but turn the majority of people off to the game.

While at it, here's a fun idea! If only one Omen can be active at a time, how about the game does not screw with the players by pretending to allow them to turn on multiple omens as active. How about that to save me three days of my playtime!? And I know what defenders of this will say, well, one will proc before the other, we don't know which. But allow me to then go back to my previously made argument - a moronic game mechanic.
