Order of the frozen sky * explored * + rip vids

sad it's taking this long to get any feedback from GGG, no fix or comment on any potential problems....

I understand the SC population is larger and deserves more attention, but when a mechanic like this exists in HC, it kills the league. It is gamebreaking... Sure you can possibly survive to get to act 3 merc, but are we supposed to do white maps forever? If you get these mobs with packsize or any type of damage mod its a rip from offscreen.

if its not fixed tonight i am done whit it cya wen act 4 is released i might try it again

My character has just reached the point where he can counteract the damage from one volley of Order of the Frozen Sky from one monster, in Merciless Lunaris 3.

He has 75% cold resistance, 12,000 armour, and 500/s HP Regeneration.

This means, with the above stats, if 8 monsters cast Order of the Frozen Sky on me simultaneously, they would be dealing 4000 damage per second...

How did such a broken mechanic find its way through balance testing???

Sigh. I want to play HC but just... come on man really? There is NO WAY this was adequately tested. None. It simply did not occur in a "testing" phase.

To be fair, it's not like we didn't all expect this though. This happens in every new league: nemesis, invasion, beyond... they always add something that is blatantly OP and later hotfix it after it RIPs many HC players. Remember Rima? Remember the tittybitch invasion boss? Remember corrupting blood before everyone knew what it did? How about the flicker EK spider boss?

And really the game isn't balanced anyways. Tried playing melee lately? I have no desire to use a boring ass ranged build but apparently nobody knows how to balance around a class being forced to facetank mobs, in a game where desync and alt-f4 exist and the option to go ranged is available to nearly anyone.

What's the incentive to do HC anymore when the game is going to be like this? I really hate playing SC. It just makes me feel like I'm somehow cheating by playing SC where dying has no consequences until you hit level 80. But man... there's a line. I can't go into HC knowing beforehand that shit like this exists. I'm basically being told by the devs not to play POE and/or invest in the future of the company. I'm probably going to anyways... for a little while... but then will get tired of it and move on quickly due to stuff like this. IDK man.

there fixing it

It's now 4:44pm in NZ. I'm getting worried they won't release this patch before they finish up work for the day. I know that sounds impatient, but just like the other guy said, frozen sky is straight up game breaking. It should be considered an emergency situation, and really deserves a patch ASAP. I hope it doesn't get delayed because of other fixes they are trying to put in the patch, other stuff can wait tbh.

i think it will be patched friday ( maby tomorrow )

i know it should have been hot fixed 3 day,s ago ...

I think something like this should never have made it past testing, and once discovered should be hot fixed immediately.
