Yes.
I'm playing a cyclone build and press right-click all the time so I get problems to Identify the beasts I want.
Maybe capturing aoe would help or a display on every beast(some red or yellow beasts already got a mark over their head).
I can see the point of capturing corpses, only I see 1 mechanic being overlooked which was implemented by capturing beasts (didn't read 86 pages to see if it has been addressed): enrage timer. If you net a corpse, will the capture be 100% garantueed? If so, why would normal people struggle with enragetimers while the heavy endgame geared people have it easy by just killing all monsters quickly and have 100% capture probability?

Isn't there a midway possible where nets will stay active like 10 secs, only when monsters drop below x% HP, than the capture chance will start running? 10 secs is more than enough time select the right monster and kill it below x% to start capturing. Also 10 secs is easier to time for people playing with DOTs, than the 3 sec timeframe (dot apply, dot stack, dot run) The only people having problems might be for example necromancers with spectres that instant kill these monsters more than 1 screen away, because they don't have control over those minions. Other people killing stuff +1 screen should be more aware of what is happening in their environment.

TLDR:
- fast farming classes (+1 screen killing) are farming currencies, not playing gamemechanics, so why allow them to participate capturing.
- 2 possible problems to be solved: minions you can't control and dot-classes: give higher timeframe to capture monsters.
How can they sell us on the theme then just take it away in a few days? This feels really shitty
I voted Yes, but more common.

It's hard to capture with my witch and the pets.
Nets that affect dead beasts are a MISTAKE. Not only there will be no challenge anymore, and thus make this league completely useless, but also you will trasform beasts in another form of currency for us to trade like they are freaking chaos orbs. You should REMOVE the nets completely and replace them with something that still enables us to speedkill in endgame, like a giant net that captures everything that dies in it, or a blood magic curse that automatically captures a beast when it dies, or something like that, but it needs to be an AOE, NOT A SINGLE TARGET
interesting,most of people say No in comment,but the Yes is over 50% now lol
culling strike....
> Then you do something wrong...

I'm trying to build a spellcaster trickster... so I have no life leech. It's supposed to be CI/evasion in the end. I'm also starting to think it was a bad idea. :-) it seems that with such "beasts" only something with leech will be viable in the endgame...

But I don't want a melee build again...
Every item/mechanic added to the game should have a purpose, adding something new and interesting.

At first, at early levels, I thought that one purpose of this new item was to force me to decide which beast to capture... I had so few and almost no currency to buy more.
The more I progress the more I see this is not the case... I'm now at ACT 10 and I have more nets than I could use.

So nets are common, to the point you can capture any rare creature you want

Nets have also no mods, no proprietes, you can't craft or improve them.

So... nets are unintresting and bland.

What is the reason, the excuse for their existance in the game then?

Maybe adding a new mechanic that pushes the player out of the normal comfort zone forcing hin to change his playstyle if needed and take risks (if he really wants that legendary creature). BINGO.

But then you tell me you are considering to add nets capable of capturing dead beasts.. what?
By doing so... you are killing the only single excuse for their existance in the game. Just remove them at that point, because throwing a net over a dead body is just busy work.

No.
