Ground effects were worse, but they are still impacting performance too much.

Optimization is a never ending fight.
Giving option to use simplified versions on the other hand is an easy win.
Hope something is done, one way or another.

I'm not seeing the reasoning behind the removal of chaos-over-time map affix. Not while blood magic affix is still a thing.
Also, can we just stop it with the x-ground mods?
They do nothing to bother avoiding (except chilled, chilled is a PitA), even if you wanted to avoid the ground, your character is rarely on client where it is on server.
They are, and always have been ever since it was just burning ground; an FPS tax.
Why not just add a mod that cuts your FPS by 60% and be honest about it.
Second thoughts, no, don't, it was a joke. Just get rid of these silly ground mods and stop adding more for crying out loud!!!
Thanks.
All of the ground mods do something. Burning ground is a pain for ES chars cos it stops your ES from regenning. Chilled you've already noted. Shocked ground is very dangerous cos of the dmg increase on it. And finally, this new desecrated ground might do significant dmg when standing on it (unlike burning) since so many of us have -60 chaos resist (just like the chaos clouds used to before they were nerfed). Even if they don't hurt much, they'll still be a concern for the hybrid life/ES chars for whom GGG removed the Suffering mod.
I agree Blood Magic should be removed, tho. Having mods that are very difficult to do as certain builds is fine, but there should never be a map mod that is literally impossible to do for any build.
Maybe before ES became life :)
Any way, we have half recovery and 0 recovery mods, do we really need an FPS taxing ES recovery ground effect?
We have temp chains mod, do we really need an FPS taxing slow ground effect?
We have monsters do extra damage mod, do we really need an FPS taxing +dmg taken effect.
Now chaos DoT mod removed and another fucking FPS taxing ground effect!!
OMG, I can see it now, whether BM is removed or not, FPS taxing freaking blood pools incoming.
RAAAAAGE!!!!! ;)
Casually casual.

@anu, the removal of this mod was required to enable hybrid builds.
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Which was my point.
A CI build absolutely cannot run a blood magic map.
Some hybrid builds had difficulty with chaos-over-time mod.
You don't see a glaring inconsistency?
What's even stranger, many of those hybrid builds would be more fucked with BM than with chaos-DoT mod, lol.
Casually casual.

Guess which mod is common, and which one is rare.
Edit: though I do agree BM should be removed.

Yeah every ground effect,especialy shock,fucks my FPS and does overheat my GPU.Also greek internet should be really bad,cause i desync about 3/4 of any attempted attack(flicker strike).With cyclone it;s even worse.So much for 24mgbps ...

Lets hope that game developers will optimize the game/effects.
Suggestion to stop using this or that skill is just wrong. What kind of game it is if you have to avoid using half of its content? Maybe its then better not to turn on the game at all?
Congratulations, you just figured out Path of Exile.

DIDNT you guys know ggg's way of improving the game is to just put more useless crap on the floor--- so now we have millions of bodies all with shiny blood effects leaking from them-- insane amounts of white items-- ground effects etc-- but agreed i try to avoid all ground effect mods on maps as it drops my fps too-- just did desecrated ground on 77 map-- very laggy... also we should be able to turn off extra gore-- shit is lame3
