Well yes, playing regular hardcore is always an option, those four to five other guys that play it are probably pretty lonely.

I already know them by names :/

That isn't how fire pen works

OK
I didn't know that.
Mg'aska doesn't cast curses, so...

Penetration is actually one of the few mechanics that can NEVER be given to a npc mob because its pretty much always going to one hit kill on everyone all the time without the damage being set to a very low value on the attack (read as actually outright impossible with map or corrupted mods or auras or etc). Its part of why -max resists maps are so deadly only... doubled and stackable with -max res mods.... its a resist by-passer.


Just letting you know how the mechanic works and why I really hope GGG never gets stupid enough or drunk enough to actually add that to a mob. But then again... vaal fire arrow spam, physical spells, RT on exiles (stuff that bypasses evade)... sad to say this but it actually MIGHT happen in the future.

let's see

exiles were merged
shrines were merged
nemesis mods were merged

only turbo from onslaught was not merged

It was, there's still various sources of Onslaught left in the game.

It's just not on everything just like the frequency of everything else that was merged was greatly reduced.

Guy who tunes those bosses is likely a closet sadist who gets off on the grief he causes "hardcore" gamers, masturbating furiously as he reads through every new QQ thread you make.

Chris: Ok look, nerf this and that boss, people are leaving the game over it.
"Yessir, will do." *secretly buffs a random invasion boss with a new oneshot ability instead*
*fap fap fap*

Mate, even Blizzard struggle with balance in his games. Starcraft 2 for example. They were lucky with Starcraft: Brood war, it was quite balanced but now they cant do it again. In my opinion its really hard to find great balance in games with lot of details. Im not sure if simplifing things is a great idea... We would have threads "omg ggg u ruined my game, why u simplified X..." :)

Heh, SC2 is to PoE as chess is to SC2, PvP is at least possible in both of those games, why do you think we wait for it so long in PoE? Devs were piling on new mechanics, exceptions, band-aids, kneejerk patches and countermeasures since early CB, nobody will be able to make heads or tails of it soon enough if they don't step on the ball a bit and start some serious streamlining.

You know the difference between a bad engineer and a good one? Good one does it simple.

^ that is depth vs complexity...


More depth is always a good thing, more complexity rarely (if ever) is good in the long run.

...because the community hated Onslaught, and a lot of players ended up migrating to Anarchy?

We all have a very easy way to get GGG to stop bullshitting us around, read our posts, and take corrective action. It's simple. STOP MAKING MICROTRANSACTIONS. If their daily revenue takes a major hit then GGG must listen to us and fix PoE or risk bankruptcy.
