i gave this a NO. When i (my totem) accidentally kill the beast, especially the red ones, i feel so sad and remind me to throw the net faster next time. If we could target corpses, there would be no fun at all. I suggest u add some "dying time" for about 2 sec for the rare beast. They will stand and remain 0 HP for 2 sec before actually die. Or just simply reduce net-throwing-time. But in my opinion, i see it's balanced. It's hard to catch, yes, but come on. Rare beasts are not hard to find, and this is just the 3rd day of the league. People will get used to it soon Last edited by HoangBoss#5241 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:41:35 PM	Posted by HoangBoss#5241 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:18:12 PM Quote this Post
If you are in need of a bandage fix, try a Einhar daily, that will reward you with an item (one or more), that will be account bound and will allow you to capture/res a dead beast. Do NOT add dead body collecting as a thing in the game. The DeadNet being rare doesnt solve anything, you will just cry for more droprate.

There seems to be a lot of casual players that are generally upset at the "clearspeed meta" that play this game much differently than your loyal core player base, that isnt' interested in artificially restricting their build so they can capture every single beast. I think the entire mechanic and league should be overhauled before it is too late, but at least the rare dead nets would be a compromise. Definitely concerned about you appeasing the super casual, play 2 hour a week crowd based on a poll with such slim margins. GGG, please think about who you are alienating with this decison. I guarantee you those who subscribe to the "clearspeed meta" (AKA not purposely struggling at a game they have played for years) are much more generous with their support and have higher retention rates. And by and large, this group would like to participate in this league with the help of the dead nets. +1	Posted by Drimli#1649 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:18:38 PM Quote this Post
I wouldn't add a new net type, I would make changes to the base functionality for the way captures work so that they're a bit easier to use in the middle of a map clear (or while overleveled for your current campaign zone). Otherwise, you'll have to introduce this new net really early on (as this problem starts manifesting almost immediately if you're over-leveling early zones or using Molten Strike, Viper Strike, etc) and that adds a lot of front-loaded complexity to the leveling experience that seems unnecessary.

No, and I play as Necromancer in this league so far. It's fine the way it is now, even if tougher for some builds (but that's a choice right?). Maybe find a way to make targeting easier, but I really want to catch beasts while they are alive! Still, kudos for the great patch and league and keep innovating! It's so good to have a developer open to feedback and close to the community! :)	Posted by davepeak#0059 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:20:07 PM Quote this Post
Nets should be a stacking movement debuff. Multiple nets can possibly reduce movement speed to a crawl. Monsters with "can not be reduced below base movement" will just be more difficult. Throw the net early to reduce movement speed and then kill it to simulate defeating it... The builds with uber dps just have to be more careful when clearing to get the net on early. Capturing beasts is a skill.... I feel this is a best for all solution.	Posted by blackice001#1084 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:21:06 PM Quote this Post
"Dead nets" is just another droppable currency instead of capture mini-game. Well the whole beast finding and beast recipes thingy is just awesome, if you remove capturing it will still stay within game. So just do it and let people enjoy the real bestiary content.

I suggest to create an equipment that wouldn't kill any rare/unique beast, or maybe targetable skills to lock down any beast so that we couldn't kill them	Posted by Marcuru#2276 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:24:24 PM Quote this Post
" If "No" gets more than 50% of votes, then it wins and we won't add the nets. If any combination of "Yes" gets 50% of votes or more, then they will be added. "Yes, but more common" will only be selected if it gets 50% of total votes itself (so "Yes, but more rare" is the middle ground and default option if neither of the others reaches 50%). According to the vote result so far, about 50% of people will be unhappy. Very lame decision I have ever seen by GGG. Why could GGG not find a better solution which both side could agree with? Very lame and sad. Last edited by Pokopensuke#2806 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:25:51 PM	Posted by Pokopensuke#2806 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:25:30 PM Quote this Post
I'm new to POE but I say NO, because of Pokemon rules you can't capture a fainted Pokemon same should apply here...	Posted by Space_Detective_Etna#3695 on Mar 4, 2018, 9:26:09 PM Quote this Post
